Elli Moraitakis '22 Recruiting Profile

My main college goal is to graduate in my area of interest to help me achieve my lifetime career goals.  I also want to create lasting relationships.   I am a huge people person I love meeting new people, making friendships, being a part of a team environment.   The people I most enjoy being around are those that are positive.  I am an optimistic person and like being in environments where people get built up rather than beat up.   I was diagnosed with dyslexia in the 3rd grade and it has been such a journey from there.   It's hard for me to be book smart naturally, but I have always been the most determined and hardworking person.   I have gone from not being able to read easy sentences to making A's in a private Christian High School.  I have to work much harder than most people but I think that its helped me grow in so many ways, on and off the field. I'm an up lifter because I know what its like to be made fun of and I want to make sure my teammates know that having me as a teammate means they will be encouraged when playing well or when having a tough game.
