I've dedicated over eight years to playing tennis, this sport has become a central part of my life, shaping who I am today. Tennis has provided me with a sense of purpose, as before middle school I lacked any drive to become my best self. Committing myself to training every day and seeing the results pay off at my first tournament was a rush that I continued to chase in every match I competed in. Throughout my high school years, it has become an integral part of my identity as I always found comfort on the court which helped guide me even during difficult moments. The discipline and determination cultivated through tennis have significantly influenced my approach to academics and personal growth.
I am deeply grateful for the opportunities tennis has granted and the lessons it has taught me. As I look ahead, I am excited about the future and eager to see how the sport will continue to pave my journey.
