Kaya Arinc '19 Recruiting Profile

One of my collegiate aspiration is to get a great education and to continue to broaden my horizons. I am a member of the national honor society and, along with my high school diploma, I am pursuing a global studies diploma. As a person with a multicultural background, I am bilingual (English and Turkish) and I almost fluent in Spanish. I try to take the highest level of classes and do well in them while playing tennis and competing at a national level. My favorite classes are science, math, and history. As a tennis player,  I want to go to a university where I can compete in a competitive setting and improve my game. My UTR rating is 12 and on tennis recruiting, I am a four star in my class. In the summer of 2016, I played Kalamazoo for the first time in the boys 16 division and I reached the third round in the main draw. In total, I won three matches at Kalamazoo. I started playing 18s in the fall of 2016. One of my ultimate goals in life is to one day play professional tennis, so finding a school that has a great tennis program is also very important to me. I believe that my will to work hard as well as my desire to be the best in whatever I do sets me apart from the crowd, and I believe I can fit well in the team and contribute greatly for the team. I also like to play the piano
