I have been playing tennis since I was five.  The sport is deeply ingrained in my family history, and playing it really allows me to bond with them.  I became especially passionate about it in middle school. I was one of the top singles players on my middle school team and one of the only students that was invited to play on varsity as an eighth grader.  Despite not being able to play during COVID, I am now the captain of my school’s JV team and a varsity alternate.
