What do you like most about playing tennis?
What I like about playing tennis is when I play matches. I get better in tennis and try my best to win.

We went to the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center to play in a QuickStart tennis tournament. I played singles matches. We got t-shirts.
What is your greatest accomplishment?
My greatest accomplishment in my young life was to come to NYJTL, learn how to play tennis, and to be in a tennis tournament.

How does NYJTL help you in school?
NYJTL helps me in school because tennis helps me have leadership. Nutrition helps me eat the right things.
What are your plans for college?
My plans for college are getting into a good one, so when I graduate I can grow up to be a tennis player.
