Bio

Hello! My name is Kyleigh Rains, and I’m entering my second year at Averett University. I’m a proud member of the Averett Women’s Volleyball team and an active participant in the university’s Honors Program. During my freshman year, I maintained a 4.0 GPA while balancing academics and athletics. I’m currently pursuing a bachelor’s degree in Biology with plans to apply to dental school after graduation. My ultimate goal is to complete a residency in orthodontics and build a rewarding career as an orthodontist.

My name is Kyleigh Rains and I am a senior attending Oak Grove High School. Throughout my life, my parents have always put a huge emphasis on working hard for my grades and taking pride in my school work. I strived to make straight A's throughout my high school career. I have accomplished this goal, excluding one class my freshman year, in which I received a B. Even though Oak Grove is extremely competitive I still like to challenge myself with difficult honors and AP courses, while still being able to maintain a 4.29 GPA (3.95 unweighted). Last year I took a Psychology course that piqued my interest. In the class, we learned how the mind works and why humans behave the way they do. This course was so inspiring that I want to major in it! I plan to go to a four-year university to major in psychology and further my knowledge on the subject. I intend to put this major to use and become a therapist someday. This career is fascinating to me because it allows me to help others and give back. Becoming a therapist will allow me to help others develop strategies to cope with their problems and hopefully help them live happier and healthier lives. Aside from my academic goals, I am also a part of the Varsity volleyball team at Oak Grove and I play year-round national-level travel volleyball for Champion Volleyball Club. I've been playing volleyball since the fourth grade. My freshman year I set a goal for myself that I wanted to play college-level volleyball. I have trained extremely hard to become the player I am now, and it has paid off. I have been offered a spot to play Division III volleyball at Averett University, in Danville, Virginia. Unfortunately, Division III schools do not offer athletic scholarships to their athletes, so I am applying for all available scholarships to aid me in paying for my education. I believe I am deserving of this scholarship because I know I can stay on track in college and achieve my career goal of being a therapist. I also believe that being a therapist is an admirable career and helping people live better lives will be a very rewarding occupation. I also am extremely passionate about volleyball and believe I have worked very hard to achieve my goal of playing the sport and the next level of competitiveness.
