After learning from my grandfather and falling in love with the sport, tennis became a part of me. I am dedicated to playing on a college team, because it not only strengthens my game, but strengthens my mindset and morals. As captain of my high school varsity team, I work with my teammates to build each other up and support one another. The sacrifices made from countless weekends of tournaments and hours of practice motivate me to work harder the next week. On a team, I would always give 100% to every practice and match, no matter the circumstance. With this, I balance tennis with my academics to excel in both, which I care strongly about. I am passionate about math, and spend countless hours studying for rigorous classes, always striving to perform well. A division III college would give me the environment to flourish with my game along with my education.
