Her Interview
Ten minutes with Kareeda
01What do you attribute your success to?
I would say perseverance. I would say confidence that I had to develop within myself, and I will always say my family. We're a pretty unique family. We are, from what we know, we're the only family in the country that have had six Division I basketball players... becoming a teammate, learning the ropes of a basketball player at a pretty competitive school, those taught me the values of perseverance, teamwork, hard work, falling down and getting back up.
