Hope Braun '21 Recruiting Profile

My collegiate goal is to earn a degree in a medical field of study. I'm striving to maintain my 4.0 GPA so that I'll have as many options as possible to choose from.  I would also love to play collegiate soccer.  I've played sports my entire life but soccer is what I love most.  What makes me different? It's difficult feeling like I'm propping myself up, but generally speaking I feel like I have a pretty focused and determined type of personality.  I don't like to be told 'You can't do that.'  Words like those motivate me and I feel that is what has helped me excel academically and it's a way that I can help spur on friends and teammates.  People also say I'm funny so I guess that's something unique I bring to any circle I'm a part of.  Athletically, I'm taller and faster than most so that always set me apart.  Finally I think I come from a position of stability.  I have a great family and parents who have helped shape who I am today.  I know who I am and where I am going.  I believe that giving your best with everything you have been given while serving and loving others is the best way to live and I hope that would add value to any community or team that I'm a part of in the future.
