Madison Stahli Honors 8
Moira Anne Stanisch
The score was 23-21 and Kane was losing to
DCC in the tournament. These next few serves
would depend on if they won the game or not, Moira
had to bring us up and the whole team was relying
on her to win the game. When she started off she
threw the volleyball high in the air and hit it with a
hard “SMACK!”. We all knew that she could win the
game for the team but now she had to prove it. As she kept serving the volleyball over
the net, the team kept gaining points. Two, three, four points were scored and now the
spotlight was on her. If she didn't make the volleyball over the net Kane would lose the
game. She took a deep breath preparing herself for the serve and now it was time, she
once again threw the ball in the air and hit it as hard as she could. The ball dashed
through the air and hit the ground with a loud “BANG!”. Everyone in the crowd rose from
their seats screaming and clapping. All of the volleyball players ran off of the court
applauding and jumping on moira for she had won the game for Kane!
Even before and after this story Moira always worked her hardest at volleyball.
She says that one of her biggest accomplishments was improving majorly in volleyball
since she first started and being able to play with older kids than her. Other than playing
for Kane’s middle school team Moira also participates in Club 1890 and for a travel
team which both play very competitive volleyball. Her goal is to eventually one day
become a Penn State volleyball player. Her role model was also a Penn State volleyball

player named Kendall Pierce. Moira says that she looks up to Kendall so much because
of Kendall being a volleyball player and because she was also one of the top students in
her classes while attending Penn State. Along with playing volleyball Moira says that
she like playing the piano and basketball. In her spare time you can find her doing one
of these three events.
Moira says that when she thinks of the word happiness she thinks of simply
having fun with her friends, laughing, and not thinking about the negatives in life. When
asking her what the funniest moment in her life was she responded with falling in a hot
tub and watching Aubri blindly kick and punch Sadie. She went on to say that one day
while her and her sister were playing volleyball, her sister passed the ball too far back
and when she went to step backwards her foot got caught and she tripped and fell into
the hot tub behind her.
After talking to Moira for a while I also got to learn a few random facts about her.
She was born on September 9th, 2003 in Warren. Her favorite traveling memory was
when she traveled to Ft. Lauderdale, Florida was because she got to meet her cousins
and she enjoyed experiencing the climate change. Her biggest fears include heights
and spiders and if she could have any superpower it would be to fly. She states that her
biggest regret in life would be not spending enough time doing more with her sisters and
she still desires to get better at spending her time wisely. In school Moira is a part of the
orchestra, basketball team, volleyball team, track team, and in the band.

In conclusion, Moira is a very good academic student in school, is very involved
with her school, and spends most of her time working at the things she loves doing.
