Tennis

She never gives up wether it is life, the car breaks down, or in sports. One time me and my mom were playing tennis and I was winning. I offered to restart, but she declined and we kept on playing even thought i was beating her by a lot. She told to never give up in life, or in sports. This is a lesson I remember every day. My mom taught me many lessons and they weren't just in tennis. When playing golf with my mom I knew I would get a redo, or a better score than I deserved. If I were to hit…

that when I do take risks, I am usually rewarded. For example, I decided to play tennis for another school during my junior year of high school. I had never played before, so I was nervous about whether or not I’d be any good at tennis and the fact that I did not know anyone. However, I fell in love with the sport, earned a varsity position, and made some really close friends. It’s true that I could have hated tennis, and felt like an outsider for the whole season, but I felt quite the opposite.…

It came as a shock to me, new coaches and many new girls on the team and they chose me to be the captain. This past school year I was given the honor of being the JV Tennis captain, it came as a huge surprise to me, seeing as it was new coaches who had only met me a month before naming me, captain. This was my second year of being on the team and I was one of three seniors on JV, many of the other girls were freshmen and sophomores. My coaches presented me with the idea of being captain by…

My weighted GPA is a 3.3, my unweighted a 2.93. Hardly impressive. What this application cannot tell you about my GPA is that it is not an accurate reflection of who I am today. My freshman year of high school, I was naive and apathetic towards school. My first semester of school, I had a 1.3 cumulative GPA. I realized that this was…

I have never played tennis a single day in my life, but one of my friend who was already in the school’s tennis team recruited me because they are short in players. Going for try outs, I didn’t even know if I will like it or not, but the only thing that came to my mind was losing weight. I picked up the sport quickly and found it to be very rewarding. Not even watching my diet, I was slowly losing weight without knowing. I was having a great time playing tennis and not even worrying about…

down her eyes like a waterfall, they just kept on coming. She glanced at her shin, almost feeling the soft touch of Marks paws nagging at Mij to throw the tennis ball. Mij even thought she heard the friendly barks of Mark, playing with his chew toys and chasing after the ball. Mij stared at the long, solitary hallway, looking at the worn out tennis ball, alone in the hallway instead of being in Mark’s mouth. Mij picked up her purse and threw it at the the cupboard next to the tv, which was…
