Tennis
Tennis, an engaging interest I have since middle school, I did not know about tennis until I was introduced and taught how to play. I was introduced to tennis by a lady when I was in 9th grade at Muhlenberg Middle School. She was told that I was really good playing badminton therefore why not play Tennis? The tennis team also needs some new players, I went for my physical and got on the team, I started to practice and continued in the summer at a camp " COR Tennis" at Hampden Park. I started playing at Hampden at the age of 13 years old where I was being taught and now I helped teach new kids who comes in the summer, one the my coaches offered me a summer job there in 2019 since I was looking for a summer job. It has been great working , playing and meeting new people because my english improved and my tennis skills also improved, I met new people which I learned from. I am always grateful to all the people who has helped me and the ones who had put their time and mind to help me learn tennis.
