Personal Statement

Since the age of 4 I have been playing both tennis and ice hockey making it my goal to play one of them at the highest level. Three years ago, I started to play tennis every day (sometimes twice) and decided to pursue tennis competitively. My current goal is to become a college tennis player so that I can study (major in biology) and train with expectations to excel in both categories. My long-term goal is to study medicine and specialize in Sports Medicine or Orthopedic Surgery.
