Achievements mean different things to different people. To some people, an achievement is obtaining an award that shows they are better than the rest of the competition. To others, it is meeting a personal challenge that they set for themselves. To me, it’s a little of both. I also want to be able to have fun and enjoy the ability that I possess and have worked hard to develop. An achievement is something to be proud of, whether it is acknowledged by many people, or just yourself. One achievement I am very proud of is my Division 2 All Conference award. But it is not just the award that I am proud of. It is the work and effort I put forth to obtain this honor, that makes me proudest. The first time I ever picked up a tennis racquet was in the summer of seventh grade. My friend and I were bored so we decided to grab the two rusty old racquets we had in our garages and head down to the courts. Since it was our first time, we were terrible. The longest rally lasted three hits and usually ended with a complete miss of the ball or an extremely inaccurate shot onto the adjacent courts.
