As a kid sometimes I think life is boring, hard, and has no meaning. When I found out what I love to do the most, I started thinking about the world around me. The thing I love to do the most is playing tennis.

I have many hobbies. Some of them were ice skating or swimming. None of them made me the person I am. Right now, I play piano, code, and play tennis of course. Playing tennis is literally what I do during my free time and I never get bored of it. I also like to challenge my brain while coding and just playing piano for fun. These are things I never think about in my dreams. The only thing I really do think of is becoming the best in the world in tennis; maybe winning a tournament when I’m 13. These things I hope to achieve in my life, and will also give me so much happiness. I also have a tennis buddy, Angela. Angela was the person who actually introduced me to tennis, and she is also my best friend, who I literally see every day. If I didn’t have Angela as a friend, I wouldn’t have played tennis. I’m so grateful that I met her. Tennis is literally my whole life and I love playing it.

Not only do I love playing tennis, but I also am obsessed with watching the pros play. The 2021 US Open was so amazing and was also what made me start watching tennis. Emma Raducanu and Leylah Fernandez were in the final for the US Open. Emma really inspired me to work even harder while playing. She was a qualifier who played multiple rounds to get into the final. While doing that she also didn’t drop a set. Leylah Fernandez had to beat many top 10 players to reach the final. Something that was even more amazing was they were both teenagers. Emma ended up winning and becoming the champion. Her US Open run was a fairytale dream come true. Leylah who worked so hard and just landed short of being the champion, and I still love watching her too. Now after the US Open I think Leylah has been more consistent and Emma just has had too many injuries this season. These two players are the people I love watching and someday I hope to be like them.

As an athletic person who could do any sport, tennis just came right into my life and I have loved playing it since I was 5 or 6. I hope to be a successful player and love what I do.
