Kallista Frye
Oral Roberts University
Former Victory Christian student-athlete, now Oral Roberts University track standout, Kallista Frye, made the transition from high school to college by adapting herself to the new environment and embraced the opportunity ahead.
“My transition from high school to college has been exciting and challenging due to the different demands and expectations of college life. But I’ve learned to embrace this new opportunity by adapting and making the best of it.
A Biology major, Frye said the bond she shares with her teammates is strong thanks to her willingness to meet new people and grow as a leader.
“What I enjoy most about being a student-athlete at ORU is my bond with my teammates and learning leadership skills both on and off the field. I also enjoy meeting new people around campus,” said Frye.
Those same teammates are a positive force in her life and have made an impact in the short time Frye has been on the team.
“What I love most about my teammates on the track team is how we uplift each other during challenging times and support each other. I also love how we still have a relationship outside of track,” said Frye.
Making the decision to compete in college was easy for Frye, but like many students, she needed that extra push to ensure her test scores were at a level she expected for herself. Frye found that help at Huntington Learning Center.
“What I enjoyed most about Huntington Learning Center was how patient and caring the teachers were. They did a great job ensuring they taught the kids the best way that best fits them,” said Frye.
This season Frye will compete in the 100-meters, 200-meters, and the relay events for ORU.
When she does have some down time, Frye said she enjoys hanging out with friends and family, watching television, and spending time alone. The track star offers this advice to anyone looking to improve themselves through Huntington Learning Center.
“If I could give a bit of advice to anyone using Huntington Learning Center, I would say to focus on and comprehend the topics they teach because they will later be helpful in college,” said Frye.
