I joined my high school tennis team to step out of my comfort zone after transferring from my old school, and I'm so glad I did. It was a challenge at first, but I don't regret it at all. Through the hard work and dedication, I've not only made great friends but also improved in ways I didn’t expect. When I joined as a sophomore, I was the 5th and 6th seed, just trying to find my place. But by the time I came back for my junior year, I had worked my way up to the 2nd seed in singles, and in doubles, I went from being the 3rd seed to the 1st. It's been an incredible journey of growth, both on and off the court, and I'm excited to keep pushing myself even further.
