Nikolas Lara '25 Recruiting Profile

It has always been a personal goal for me to attend college for my personal growth and academic achievement.  I see college as a journey that will provide me with the knowledge and skills necessary to pursue my chosen career and also shape my character.  College represents a chance to make a positive impact on the world and I am committed to accept this opportunity to the fullest. 

I would like to believe that what sets me apart from other recruits is my dedication, resilience and determination.  My parents have instilled a strong work ethic in me and have always guided me to overcome any challenges.  I bring this same commitment to everything that I do.  Regarding the athlete in me, my passion for the sport ever since I was two years old, drives me to excel individually but also to promote teamwork, leadership and sportsmanship.  I have a natural ability to motivate and inspire my teammates, which I was able to demonstrate during my Sophomore year as Team Captain.  Academically, my love for learning goes beyond earning good grades; I challenge myself to expand my intellectual knowledge with all the activities I am involved in, making me a well rounded person.
