My dream is to play at a Division 1 college to help prepare me for my career as a tennis pro. I want to compete at a high level in college with hopes that it will help my tennis professional development. I have always dreamed about being a professional tennis player, every since I was 6 years old. I know that I have the type of game that could possibly get there. I used to be top 20 in the nation before I injured my groining in the orange bowl. I have beaten some of the top guys in the nation. I also used to be number one in the state of South Carolina and 3 in my section (Southern). I have won a couple nationals and have gone to semis and finals in doubles in those nationals. Since then I have been practicing extremely hard waiting for the opportunity to show that I can be a huge impact for the right college for me. Recently I have just won an ATA national in singles and doubles and almost everyone told me how heavy my ball was and how heavy it looked. I win matches alone because guys cant handle my spin and quickness. I'm also a really passionate person and absolutely love being on teams. I'm a very hard worker and I realize how blessed I am to be able to play tennis. I know whatever team I'll play on, I'll give it my 100% percent.
