learning that it really isn't about me...and maybe that defeats the purpose of this.

IM A WINNER!!!

       Today was my first tennis match and, like the title says, I'M A WINNER!!! 

     My coach didn't  tell me that I was an alternate. At first, I was mad. Not about being an alternate(everyone has to be one some time during the season). I was mad she didn't tell me. 

         So, I'm playing an alternate singles match against this girl. Probably  5'7, blond hair, pretty, big shoulders(she looks  Deutsch to me.) She also looks like she wants to do anything else but play tennis. Which is good for me. 

So its 3 - 0 and I can tell Im going to kick this girl's butt. I can tell by her attitude. Thats how I used to be. This was my attitude, "I don't want to be here, Im just here cause my mom is making me." 

I've realized If you don't want to do something, you're not going to be good at it. 

Now, I don't want to sound braggy but, I beat this girl 8 - 0. The entire set she probably got 7 points off me. 

 So, I'M A WINNER!! (Like mother like daughter...
