I try my best to show students what a "good student" is by doing the best I can in everything I do such as academics and athletics. I dedicate myselft to my studies and how I perform on the court, but I don't do either one to impress others. I feel that if you are doing something so others will "like" you, then you should not do it or find another reason to do it. I play tennis for my self because it is my passion.

My focus is academics first then tennis, but I make sure I have time to do both. I will usually go to school then play tennis after school, then go home and do homework and study, then go to sleep. This has been working for me because I have improved my grades and my skills. I plan that if I start slipping in my grades then I will stop playing as much tennis until I can bring my studies up.
