"True heroism is remarkably sober, very undramatic. It is not the urge to surpass all others at whatever cost, but the urge to serve others at whatever cost."

~Arthur Ashe

I have been playing tennis since I was a little girl. I was part of the girl's tennis team at Berlin High School as a Sophomore, Junior, and finished strong as a Senior. Being part of the team was one of the best things I have ever done. I made lasting friendships, and had two wonderful coaches. I learned a lot about myself and what I am capable of doing when I put my mind to something. I still play tennis in my free time, and hope to one day be part of a team again, or possibly a coach so that I can teach some younger girls how to play.

This site's purpose is to show everyone what tennis is all about, and how important it is to me being a former tennis player at Berlin High School.
