When I was younger, I struggled with health issues caused by enlarged glands and tonsils, which affected my breathing and sleep, limiting my physical activity. After recovering from
surgery in November 2019, I challenged myself to explore different sports, and each experience boosted my confidence. Over the past five years, my tennis training has remained
consistent as my fitness steadily improved. I pushed myself through rigorous training camps enduring scorching summers and freezing winters. In March 2024, I was the
only 7th grader to earn a spot on theIMS Varsity Tennis Team after three rounds of tryouts. Competing at this level pushed me to step outside of my comfort zone,
and every game greatly helped build my confidence, resilience, and determination. Now, I’m already counting down the days until the next season begins!
