Undergraduate / Tennis=Hard work (not genius) - Common App Extracurricular Activity [4]
Einstein once said that"Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% Hard work". I came to acknowledge this phrase for the first time while playing Tennis, last year . Even though I was an amateur in the sport, I felt countless times the urge to quit, especially when on my first game I got hit on my balls, and when while I practicing I overextended my calves muscles, and with My Finals nearing. I had to find a good reason to continue, which i did. Playing tennis (and losing several games) I was introduced to this phenomenon called Hard work, I may have lacked that 1 % talent, but somewhere inside me, there was this urge to Play Tennis for fun, moreover play it to win. This awakening led me to practice Tennis every morning ( embarrassing, cause I would be the only one) in school gym, which led me to respect myself and even win the Coaches Award that season.
[i am not sure if this is good enough for colleges, pls advice needed]
