Alexandria "Lexi" Raines '20 Recruiting Profile

I started playing volleyball in 6th grade.  I instantly fell in love with the game and would love to play in college.  I have played on club teams since I was 12, and have played on my school’s varsity team since I was in the 9th grade.  While playing volleyball, I have grown not only as a player but also as a person.  Off the court, I am very competitive with my grades.  I participated on my school’s Math Team in 5th thru 7th grades, where I specialized in ciphering.  In 7th grade, I took the ACT through Duke TIP, where I scored an 18 overall, with a 17 in math and 19 in science.  I started high school courses in 8th grade and have maintained a 3.9+ GPA.  I retook the ACT in September of 2018 and scored a 26.  In addition to school and volleyball, I have been the treasurer of Student Council at my school and I served as a Teacher’s Assistant for Physical Science.  For the 2016-17 school year, I received an award for having more than 100 hours of service.  I love volunteering at church, where I have done so for the last 3+ years.  I also enjoy helping kids learn to play volleyball, and help out at middle school volleyball practices and clinics.  I love listening to country and pop music while doing my schoolwork, and I like designing websites for friends, school, and fun.  For college, I am open to most options except Junior College.  I would prefer a small college that offers a degree in either Biology or a Pre-Medicine program.  I plan on earning a Bachelor’s degree and then continuing my education in Medical School.  After Medical School, I want to be a neonatologist or a surgeon of some sort.  I want to be a doctor because I love helping people and I love learning.
