My freshmen year of high school I was very scared, wondering how it would turn out, trying to find my way in such a big place. My opportunity to join tennis arrived when I e-mailed my future tennis coach at the time. From that moment we hit it off and i began coming to the tennis meetings. I tried tennis before in the past but it was something about my freshmen year and her words of encouragement that really got my heart set on wanting to play. When you think about it, any sport is technically an all year- around sport. When you’re not playing, your conditioning three times a week. So from October to the end of the school year I worked to the bone and loved every minute of it.
When we first began we didn’t have much of a team but once it was over me and my teammates grew closer and closer. We’ve gone through a lot over this past year. From the good times to the horrible times. In the end, it just made us that much stronger. It feels good to be involved in an extracurricular activity while in high school. It has a way of making you feel like you belong and are apart of something that you are proud of. Being on a team and having a friendship with each one helps going through high school that much easier I think. I ended up being the team captain for my team. It was a great accomplishment to me being that i was one of the youngest on the team.
Being on the tennis team has helped me to grow socially and physically. Its taught me teamwork and determination along with hard work. It was a wonderful experience and i cant wait to do it this upcoming year. That was truly the highlight of my high school career so far, and will continue to be.
