-Hi! I brought you the flowers you like, tulips, as always - Aaron said to his best friend, Rachel.

-As beautiful as ever! Where did you get them?

-I was leaving the coliseum when I found a garden full of flowers, and I grabbed some of them.

-You were watching volleyball games again, weren't you?

-Yes, I'm sorry, but the Germans are very tall and they play very well. Someday I'd like to be like them, to be able to go to the nationals and I can show how valuable I am despite my height.

-That's why you have to train very hard, starting by enrolling in a school when we return to Colombia.

-That's what I hope, I wish they accept me.

-They will, I'm sure.

Since I was a child I have had an obsession for volleyball, it is a sport that I have always loved and I have highlighted for my great ability. Now that I'm a teenager I have a better chance to show what I can achieve if I put my mind to it.

I am not a tall person, so many people always think that I am not good at the sport, but I always try to show them the opposite, although it's always an impediment to face people who are almost 2 meters tall, but it's time to  change that perspective.

When I arrived in Bogota the first thing I did was to look for different schools to enroll, most of them high category, because I had high ideals to be part of one. I managed to pass to one, called "Nekoma", a school which has been highlighted for several years for being the winner to go to the nationals and represent the capital of the country. When I arrived at the first training nobody thought I would be a middle blocker, where the height determines the ability of each player.

-My name is Aaron Morgan, I'm a middle blocker, I'm 5'4'' and I'm here to win.

-5'4''? Are you kidding me? - asked the captain - Your height is no good in that position, you better go to pick up balls.

-We have our "little giant", I know one when I see one - said the coach.

-That's right, and I will be the next star of this generation.

Here begins my story, from the moment I decided to become the "little giant" and be the greatest representative of Colombia.
