Tennis has developed me into the person I am today and there always seems to be more to learn from it. And as soon as the lazy days of my junior year summer began, my phone was ringing and I was puzzled to find that

I thought to myself, “Why am I still playing this sport I hate?” As a tennis player, everyone wants the same thing: to win, to advance, to play until we can’t play anymore.

    There are many teams that I’ve loved being a part of over the last three years of high school. The first is the golf team.
