Tennis highlights Personal Statement
"There is no way around hard work. Embrace it"(Federer). This quote shows exactly who I inspire to be as a tennis player. I put the work in not only for tennis but also as a student in school. My academics are just as important as tennis is. When I'm not in my tennis season I am always watching tennis film on pros to get better insight on how I can improve my game. During the winter I go to West Hills athletics club and always do lessons with my private coach. There is always room for improvement and I find that everyday my tennis level increases as I put in more dedication. With each new day my school is such a huge priority for me. I value my education. In college I want to acquire my bachelors degree in economics and actuarial science. I also love helping others in life and I participate in my church's social projects to help my injuring community who don't have the things that I have in life.
