I am most passionate about tennis and soccer and bowling because I currently play them. I got recruited in tennis for the division 3 level and which is the highest rank and which would be a higher varsity level. I am really excited to play in college because that has been my goal along with being a physical education teacher working out and teaching middle school or high school while hoping to get a job at best buddies as well. I like those things because it makes me happy and I love to run and I am passionate about doubles in tennis but I can do both in tennis i technically am good at tennis and was I have played tennis for 3 years of and planning to play tennis at Elmhurst University for my junior year and senior year of college

My drive to becoming a teacher is that I have worked with kids before and I like to help them. I have taught the kids at church before too I have been a counselor to k through 2 and 1st grade but my plans are to teach a middle school or high school physical education teacher. I am very active in sports and I have taught fitness classes for a gym. I have taught fitness classes that had kids in it too. I have the passion to being a teacher I love to teach Physical education. My ambition is to help the middle school kids get better but to help them with their homework. When it comes to teaching I have the drive to teach in Chicago il or somewhere near Chicago il. I am very happy to teach junior high but I do tend to be strict because of their bad behavior. I am going to also going to coach sports as well alongside being a fitness teacher. Someday I am going to start a best buddies chapter there too at the same school I teach at. Not only I want my teaching to be successful but I want my future teaching to become successful too because if it isn’t successful then I might get fired from teaching and I really don’t want that. I am going to be teaching the kids different units and they will do some lifting and want to get them active and not sit around too. I really want to make sure they will be successful at physical education. I want to make them become an athlete and teach them different sports that they don’t know how to play like tennis. My goal is to have them take a test one time per unit so for most units but some units depend on how long we go with that unit. They will be changing into physical education clothes. I will be the best that I can be at teaching the kids and make sure that they can be the best students ever when I teach at school or at a gym too. I will help the kids and read it and I will be the teacher to help them clarify if they don’t know that word and I will teach them that word if they don’t understand that word. It really makes me happy when I teach the kid and I do have passion, ambition and drive the teaching to a middle school that need physical education teachers. I have the inspiration of being a teacher just because of how I am nice to kids and children and I love and have taught a history class and made them do notes and was very strict. I have the inspiration of teaching physical education and to teach kids for sports and different clubs. I am very passionate toward other people and very passionate when it comes to making people to do theirs and if they don’t I will fail them and give them an f. When it comes to teaching I am very experienced and I have background when it comes to being a physical education teacher and any type of teaching and I have also played sports too in high school and junior and I want to be able to leave an example for my future students as well and be able to help them out and I will be nice to them and help them out the best I can and I want to take the step of being a great teacher.

I have learned to swing through my swings and get ready for the next match and this has shaped my future because I got recruited for a tennis team in college division 3 which is the highest varsity team. I did get better and improve all my three years in tennis by winning and getting better at doubles and had some close matches. There was a couple of matches and tournaments where I had tie breakers too. I basically practiced and practice and improved throughout the season. I had 4th place in some tournaments and even though our season was weird and didn’t have any home matches I still improved even though we had no home matches and all away matches and tournaments I still did good and was almost close to medaling for third. I have a pretty close sectional match with Peoria and that was a close tie breaker match. I have pretty good backhand but forehand is a huge struggle. I kept on somewhat getting better at my forehand. In doubles I am pretty good at the backhand side and pretty good at the net too. I have had a couple of good rallies and good at hitting it back and forth between me and the other opponent rather it was doubles or singles. Since my sophomore I knew I would like tennis and have the passion for it since my sophomore year. This year was meaningful to me because I was a senior and it was my last year I wanted to play throughout my senior year. I had played two years of varsity and one year of junior varsity. It started out really rough then got better when the season went on it went really good. I use some strategies to help me with my matches. For singles my strategy was to get ready and get on my toes instead of just standing there and hitting the ball late. For doubles my strategy was to communicate with my doubles partner and help them out a little bit. I have witnessed some competition in me just to try my best at matches and improve and just to learn what my skills were and what my job was to work on throughout the season. Some of the matches I fought off some pain in me and my feet were in pain too but any pain and even though my other opponent that were mean I still wanted to show my teammates that I can do it even though I had some bad matches.
