Syndey Raines
Little Sista Since 2022 HS: AIMS College Prep High School, High School, Oakland, CA G.P.A: 3.83 HS SGA Executive Treasure Hi Everyone! My Name is Sydney Raines and I have high aspirations for my career, college and sports endeavors. I started playing golf at 8 years old but I did not start playing competitively until my Freshmen year in High School. Throughout this last I have learned that Golf is my happiness, my sadness, and my anger. My coping for anything that changes my mindset or knocks me off the course I have set for myself. I don't know what I would do without sports, which is why I aspire to keep it a part of my life, similar to lots of my friends and family. I want to see myself succeed in sports, in life, and in school. I am also willing to sacrifice to get that level of success. I am willing to train until I can't stand it or in other words I am willing to spend less time doing fun things and more time towards the goals I have set for myself because that is what I aspire towards. And not because I was forced into anything... but because succeeding in golf and in life is something I have desired since I was a child.
