I first began playing tennis when I was 7 and ever since, it has taught me to strive for my goals with passion. While a captain for my high school team, I learned many leadership qualities and how to be responsible with managing my time. It is a big part of my life, and I am an athlete who is willing to put in the work and time to play on a college team. I will be able to handle athletics as well as the academic workload college gives because I am already taking many AP level courses.
