Ariana Vaughn '15 Recruiting Profile

I would like to attend a Div I or Div II University and play basketball. I want to go to a school that will give me the knowledge and know how to become successful in the medical field. At this point in time, I am exploring a profession in Physical Therapy, Sports Medicine, and/or Pediatrics. I want to complete college and have a steady career before I start a family. Eventually, if I have the means, I would like to give back to the community I go to high school at because there are some very talented athletes in the San Joaquin Valley, but many of their parents can't afford to send them to camps or pay for AAU teams, etc. I hope to help my mother out, who has raised my brother and I on her own our entire lives. She provided a lot for us, but she sacrificed her own time every moment she had. She is a school teacher and she also works for 3 different after-school tutoring programs just so she can provide a good life for my brother and I. I would like to give back to her. Overall, I aspire to be the best "me" I can possibly be, to leave it all on the court, in the classroom, in the office, and in my profession..
