The first time I had been to a tennis tournament, I did great. Considerably greater than I expected.

nearly tripping over my foot, and execute a nearly perfect slicing forehand swing of my racket, returning the bright green tennis ball to the far right-hand corner of the court. It happened so fast that my opponent, who was sweating just as much as myself, wasn't able to process that I earned the winning point after a long, drawn-out match. I couldn't believe I just won my first tennis match. “I knew you were gonna be good at this Brianna!” shouts Coach Womack as he gave me an exuberant…

name being called out. A million thoughts start sweeping through my brain. This is it. I finally got picked to play second doubles with my tennis partner, Kylie, in our last match of the season.
