Petros Petrides '21 Recruiting Profile

I always strive for straight A’s and believe I am a leader to many! I have been a 4.0 GPA student all my life and even received a 5.2  GPA for all the extra work I completed in Junior High School from 6th,7th, and 8th Grade. I have Participated in many activities through my life including playing 5 sports year around. I also play musical instruments and have been playing in the school orchestra for 6 years. As I take on college I believe I will be mentally prepared because I have always been ahead of people my age. I believe in good sportsmanship, being in Martial Arts (Taekwondo) for 10 years has taught me that there’s nothing wrong with bouncing your ideas off other people. By learning as much as you can from others this allows you to perfect yourself in school and  sports. I believe what makes me different from the other recruits is my whole life my dad has pushed and supported me with all his ability make sure I use all my talent.  This has taught me to take sports very seriously.  By doing so, I have become a world class athlete in Taekwondo Olympic Sparring!  This is why when I go to college, I will perform to the best of my ability because I’ve learned that you got to  be a beast to succeed!  I believe that academics come first because you need good grades to succeed in college!  I strongly believe that’s true because if you strive to be the best, and if you care about something that is your craft,  then you will perfect it!!
