Donna Paurevic '20 Recruiting Profile

I feel like I'd be a good candidate for your tennis team because I am determined and a fast learner. My first time ever picking up a tennis racket was my freshman year and I finished my freshman year on varsity. I do the best I can and I am determined to get better! My whole life I have watched my family struggle and their resilience has rubbed off on me. 

 I value my academics as well as my extracurricular activities very highly. I believe what sets me apart from a lot of people is that I'm a first-generation American whose family ran away from war, I've seen them struggle my whole life and I've had to be able to learn fast to adapt to my surroundings. Tennis has allowed me to actually feel like I'm good at something that isn't just numbers on a page. It's allowed me to be physically active so much so that after my first season every day in the summer I spent 1 hour on the court practicing because I wanted to get better. I also am involved in various other activities at my school such as the Speech and Debate team and I am currently in NHS. I plan to do my best in each aspect of my life, thank you so much for considering me.
