Personal Statement
I deeply enjoy tennis and have loved to play it since I was 12. Often people assume that tennis is only a solo sport but when you are a part of a larger team it can feel like a family that gets stronger together. I originally lived in Pennslyvania, USA for the first 13 years of my life until recently moving to New Zealand in 2021. There I was able to get the experience firsthand at playing tennis in another country and learning from other coaches gaining different perspectives on the game. Among other things, I am a hard worker and want nothing but to play tennis at the highest levels possible. I typically get along with most people and can be outgoing and adventurous. My academic work also helps reflect my work ethic as in multiple subjects I am far above the expected standard for my age. I am inspired by athletes like Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer and aspire to reach the highest levels of the game in pursuit of succeeding.
