Karalyn Vidad '18 Recruiting Profile

My goals not only for college, but life in general is to be successful.  I want to not only major in Psychology, but also in Public Health. My goal is to become a Psychologist who will create a safe haven for children and teenagers to express themselves and create a place where they feel they belong because I think kids in this generation of mine and the next have so much pressure to be better and do better and i would like to create a place where they can relieve there stress and have someone to talk to. I would also love to play volleyball because it might sound cheesy, but literally volleyball is my life and I know you have heard that a million times, but its true. Ever since I was little I would be surround by sports whether it be gymnastics, basketball, volleyball or martial arts there always something to do. I always observed people, like my sister, I always watched her as a kid and said "One day I'll be better than she could ever be!" Here I am asking for a chance to make that true. I am a good candidate for your team because I will make sure that I fulfill every task that you want me to do and even more, I will guarantee you that I will do my best to be the best and I know I'm not going to be perfect so I'm not saying that I will get you every ball to the target or that I will get every serve an ace, but I will make sure that I work harder in every way that I can because I want to be successful. I have been playing volleyball since I was 7, and not a day goes by that I'm not thinking of volleyball. Academically I say I get my work done with quality and time and of course I will struggle, that's why I am learning because I believe knowledge is power and without power you can't succeed. I will do my homework and make my assignments get done maybe not on time sometimes, but I make sure that I don't turn in anything late. As an athlete I play with passion. I put my heart, soul, mind and body into volleyball. I make sure I have no regrets when I step onto that court and I make sure that my teammates are carefully looked after and that we are all on the same page because I believe each and everyone of my teammates are my sisters. I also make sure that I bond with them in and out of volleyball because you need to understand the people around you and their tendencies so you you have court awareness on your side of the court. Thank You!
