The most exciting thing going on in my life right now is 

the sport i'm playing. TENNIS! I know better than to 

think this now,but when I was little,the state Tennessee 

used to be my favorite because I thought it was shaped 

as a giant tennis racket.The sport is a lot of fun,although 

there are many things that come when playing 

it.Everything must be straight before I can play.

Before I can play my grades must be at least all A's 

and B's.All that I do needs to be consistent and most 

times it is hard to balance both at the same time.If I 

slip up once,there goes my extra activities.It takes a 

lot of concentration to keep everything 

together.Even though it's a lot of work,playing tennis 

is worth it.

Practicing tennis can be fun,but ruff 

sometimes.With me being clumsy all of the time I 

can hurt myself.I fall down,trip,get cramps,but I 

pop back up and walk it off.Even though I heal,it's 

important to be careful when playing.If the injury 

is severe enough it can end me playing.

When playing,we are taught mostly techniques and 

foot work.We now the correct way to hold a racket 

and carry it when your moving around the 

court.That's what the foot work is for.It helps you 

get around quicker and keeps you on your 

feet,which is very important along with serving.We 

keep all of these things in mind when playing.

It's important that I stay healthy so that I can 

play.A healthy diet including fruits and vegies will 

make that so.Also you need to bring plenty of 

water.We drink it before,after,and during 

tennis.Healthiness and good excersise plays a big 

role in my and any other sport.

Even though we would practice with Mr.Hornsby,he 

still wanted us to play for the school,so we signed 

up for practice there.Now our new coaches are 

Mr.Beckford and Mr.Lazano.We have extra 

practice almost every day now

Mr.Hornsby says we are going to put more black 

people in magazines like the Williams sisters.My 

sister and I plan to be just like them.With enough 

work and practice we will get there.What we are 

doing is just our first plan,but even with the help 

we have what we want might not always work out.I 

haven't thought of a backup plan yet,but it seems 

like were on the right track so there isn't much to 

worry about yet.
