For me, my speacial item is a tennis ball, or the sport in general. I started played when I was 9 and I started really loved the sport at 11. It’s very important to me because it’s always been my dream to play professional tennis. I’m very passionate and committed to the sport as I play 15-20 hrs a week. I think tennis represents me as a person because it’s something I do all the time and something I enjoy. I love the feeling of being athletic and moving side to side on the court, and competing to be the best. I think tennis defines me as a person because it makes my who I am. It’s what I wake up and do every single day. It’s the thing I argue about and talk about every day. My coaches have also helped me so much and seeing them everyday makes my day so much better. That’s my item of identity, tennis, and that why I love it.
