As a volleyball player at NCSSM, Zara Mehta ‘17 spends her days balancing sports, academics, and serving as a Residential Life Assistant. Her favorite part about playing volleyball is that it’s a team sport, and that everyone on the team has to pitch in for the team to be successful. She brings this idea into many different parts of her life, including helping out at an Asian Cultures Club meeting, or helping the juniors on Greynolds (aka Ground Reynolds residence hall) get situated at NCSSM. She says that, just like at other schools, balancing academics and athletics can be hard at NCSSM, but says she always puts academics first because that’s what she came here to do.
