What makes you different?

I am very hardworking, and I will do anything to make my dreams of becoming a pro-tennis player come true. My creativity comes in handy when it comes to problem solving. Nothing is too big, difficult or complicated for me because I will find my way to solve it.

Why do you want to compete in college?

I believe that competing in college will improve both my educational and tennis skills, which I think will not be the case if I would follow those two paths separately.

College Goals?

I want to learn new skills, improve my technique, and compete in a team where we’ll train ourselves but more importantly, each other. I want to study a major that I’d really like to know more about.

Anything else we should know?

I really love everything that has something in common with arts, especially making things with my hands is something I’m passionate about.
