Karen Nguyen '23 Recruiting Profile

Hi, my name is Karen Nguyen..! Some of my collegiate goals are to be able to balance my academic and athletic life.  Though sports play an important part in my life, I believe academics should be balanced with it. Some of my aspirations are to be the best version of myself.  I want to be able to always improve in my academics, my athleticism, and being a better person in general. I believe I could be a great candidate for your team because I am a strong-willed person.  Let me elaborate. Prior to wrestling, the only athletic experience I had was playing volleyball.  I never realized how hard wrestling could be. When starting my first season of wrestling, I wasn't qualified to wrestle because I was 20 pounds above the 235 weight class. I had never had to show so much dedication before. With the encouragement from my coach and my team, I was able to lose the weight and go on to wrestle.  I believe something that sets me apart from all the other athletes is that I am open-minded. I am always open to new experiences and ways to learn. Thank you for taking the time to read my personal statement. If you have any questions for me, please feel free to reach out..!
