Amanda Higgs '15 Recruiting Profile

My goals and aspirations for my future are to continue to achieve high grades for the remainder of high school and into college. Following college graduation, I aspire to attend law school and attain a position where I can most help my community. 

I would also like to play tennis at the college level. During the 2013 high school year, I played doubles tennis and our team was able to secure 2nd place in the state championship.  This year, I was captain of my school tennis team and played the 2nd singles position. Through hard work and strong leadership from my coaches, I was able enter the Utah State Championship as 3rd seed and secure 1st place in the championship by defeating the higher seeded competitors during three 3-set matches in a single day.  Together, our team also won the state championship.

My efforts have been rewarded, both academically and athletically.  I was awarded the Academic All-State Award, an honor only granted to six tennis athletes within the Utah State 2A region.

I believe my success so far in life has come from the support of my parents and coaches as well as a drive to constantly challenge myself.  I do not accept mediocrity, but rather strive to do better, try harder, and achieve more than is expected of me.
