Kia Smith '16 Recruiting Profile

Basketball has always been like my safe haven. It has helped me become closer to the young lady I want to be. It has not only taken me various places, but also has made me a stronger individual. Growing up, I was known as a shy little girl but as soon as I stepped on the court, the shyness seemed to disappear. Basketball has enabled people to get to know ME better. 

Some athletes may not realize academics are important too. Many people have always thought I was that girl that can play ball but failed academically. I can say I have proved them wrong. I am currently in the to 10% of my class and have been recognized for various awards. 

Being well rounded is extremely important to me. I like to keep myself busy ! I am involved in many clubs and organizations and also maintain a job. Balancing everything may become difficult sometimes but I always find a way to manage everything as well as play my best on the court
