I have played tennis all throughout my life. I started when I was in fourth grade. My coaches could already tell I had some great potential at that age. I played whenever I got the chance - even when I was little. I still remember when I got my first tennis racket. I was so excited!!
I was on the high school tennis team all four years. My junior and senior year I was number one. My coaches were so great, they taught me everything I know about the game. The days we had matches were my favorite. I couldn't wait until the school day was over so I would get a chance to compete with other teams on the court. I always love a good challenge, and playing tennis was my favorite challenge of all.
The thing I miss the most about high school is playing tennis. I had many great friends that I played with, and we have so many great memories. I now take a class at Iowa State for tennis. I am still learning and still getting better. Tennis is a sport I will be able to play all my life, and I know I will enjoy every minute of it!
