Kallista Cors '20 Recruiting Profile

                  I originally didn’t start playing volleyball until about three years ago.  I was originally a soccer player with aspirations of being on the national team.  I had played soccer for about 8 years.  Over the summers I would attend some volleyball camps just for fun, but this only made me want to play even more.  I became hooked on the sport and the team comradery that comes along with it.  Eventually I started training and began to play club.  For two years I played both sports and it was tough.  There were scheduling conflicts and overall too much.  I had to choose between the only sport I knew and a newfound love for another.  These past three years have taught me a lot about hard work, drive, and ambition.  I have learned to be a great teammate on and off the court.  Then freshman year started, and I made the varsity volleyball team.  I played outside hitter in an environment I was unfamiliar with.  I had never played for a school team before, or with older girls and it was a great experience.  We won the district title for the first time since 1983 and continued on to the regional semi-finals.  During high school, my goal is to get high grades and be a part of National Honors Society.  I want to be one of the top students in my grade and strive to learn new things.  I plan to be on varsity for another 3 years and focus on my volleyball skills.  This past club season, I was asked to play up on an older team.  Originally as an outside hitter, they asked me to take up the position of right side hitter.  It has been a challenge, but I stepped up as a player and now I am one of the top blockers on my team.   In college I want to play a sport I love and study something that interests me intellectually.  I would like to explore the biomedical major and become a biomedical engineer.  My goal during my college years is to develop overall and achieve my goals.  I will achieve this through the hard work and dedication I hold.  Overall, I want to live a life full of happiness and filled with things I love to do.
