Arabella Goralski '15 Recruiting Profile

The best way to describe myself is by providing a few words and word phrases: tennis-lover, active, responsible, leader, caring, lover of food (but only in moderation!), selective, dog-lover, empathetic, hard-working, true. Those words provide a small sampling of who I have become as a person. Now, for tennis. I would say that I have become increasingly competitive over the past several months and now believe I have the fire to win. I also possess a true love for the game so never have issues with working hard and putting in the extra time it takes to become the best player I possibly can. Everyone has limitations, but not everyone is willing to work at overcoming them. I am.

My summer is going extremely well as I am working with my coach 2-3 times a week and hitting partners another 2-3 times a week. I will play in 4-5 USTA Tournaments prior to the start of my senior year and have never felt as confident and excited about my overall game as I do right now. However, I am working hard to learn as much about the game as possible and to improve every time I take the court.

Also, I am very driven to learn and have proven to be an excellent student. After being inducted into the National Honor Society in May, I finished off my junior year by making High Honors and now have an overall GPA of 4.24 and class ranking of 12/299. My upcoming senior year will be difficult as I am taking three more AP courses but I am looking forward to the challenge. As of this moment, I am looking to pursue a profession that allows me to capitalize on my strengths in math and science so will take that into consideration as I move through the recruiting process.

Although I am not sure where I will attend college, I do know I would like to make a decision before the start of my winter term so that I can focus on school and tennis for the spring.
