I have always had an interest in tennis. I am in 9th grade now, a freshman. I tried out for the tennis team, but I didn’t get in. I decided I would take tennis because I love sports and to get on the team. I wanted to go to tennis, and had to kept reminding my parents again and again until I finally got lessons. The difference is that I wasn’t forced like other kids to take the sport. I am already athletic, and my coach says I get the feel of the ball. I am 14, but I am catching on fast. I want to become professional and am willing to do what it takes. The problem is I am taking lessons once a week. Money is an issue because it is $45 a lesson. I really love tennis and my teacher was shocked that I was getting it so fast. i have never played any tournaments or anything. I played from late november of 2010 until now. He also wants me to take it twice a week, but there’s that money issue. I love tennis and want to prove to the world that I can become professional. Maybe I ca catch up. Or is it really that late. John McEnroe started at age 10 and ranked #1 in the world at one point. What do you think, can I do it?
