Introduction

My main goal is to get a decent education while doing one of the things i love the most- to play tennis. Although it takes a lot of commitment and dedication I am motivated to do whatever is required to achieve my goals in order to have a positive impact on the college team I represent. For me it will be a privilege to be part of the university tennis team and to contribute to its successful performance.

Interview

What makes you different?

Strong sense of motivation- the personality trait that helps me move forward. I like to prove to myself that the hard work I have done wasn’t for nothing, which helps me not only in sports and in school but in life in general. So when I make up my mind to do something I don’t stop until it is completely done. Also, I consider myself as a responsible and caring person and I would do anything for my team.

Why do you want to compete in college?

Tennis has been my passion since the very first day. For the past few years the reason I'm still playin is to go to USA, so I will have the chance to persuede a college carreer. The idea of college tennis is one of my biggest dreams for which I have put a lot of effort and hope to make it come true.

College goals

My academic and sports aims were always high and my current goals are no different.

The main college goal that I want to achieve is to continue combining playing and studying so it will not be necessary to sacrifice my passion in order to get a good education. Also, I would like to have the opportunity to compete against other colleges as well as maintaining friendships.

Tennis and life Goals?

One day someone told me: “If your dreams don’t scare you, they’re not big enough” so… I have always dreamed big.

I have always wanted to become a professional tennis player and compete in Grand Slam tournaments, but if not, for sure, after I graduate tennis will be part of my daily life.

My main life and tennis goal is to be happy no matter what happens to me. Regardless of my future career I want to do it the best way I can.

Anything else we should know?

I have always liked sports. Other than tennis, skiing is one of the activities that can keep me away from my everyday life so when I come back to reality I am more concentrated. So it is with drawing and playing the piano. Also solving difficult math problems can keep me entertained.
