When my sister and I were in New York for a holiday in 2002, we got to see the US Open live at Flushing Meadows. We got to see Andre Agassi, Pete Sampras, James Blake and Andy Roddick up close during their practice sessions. We fell in love with tennis after that session. Before we flew back home, my sister bought a tennis video because she wanted to learn how to play tennis right away. We both vowed that we would take tennis lessons as soon as we got back home.

A few weeks later, I decided to start my tennis lessons. My sister who had spent her afternoons watching the tennis video was raring to go. We both got a tennis instructor who was once a competitive tennis player. He made us do so many drills before he actually thought us how to serve, hit a forehand and a backhand. We both learned so much from those sessions, I can now play tennis among my friends.
