I was ten years old when I startedwanting to become a professional1 tennisplayer in my country. I could stillremember myself sitting on a sofa， whilewatching a sports event2 on TV. I sawtwo tall tennis players having a women’ssingles3 match. I watched with deepfascination4 as I imagined myselfsomeday being in the position of thewinning5 player. I also imagined I washolding a tennis racquet6， hitting the ballhard when it passed my court andsending it back.

I really felt good every time my mindwould wander7 to this wonderful world.This was one of the reasons I watchedtennis matches all over the world. Iwanted to learn everything from myfavorite players.

When the holiday season came in， Iasked my parents and Santa Claus for atennis racquet. I remember I was inschool when our teacher asked us to listour top three Christmas gifts. Afterwriting them down， we were asked topaste8 our lists on a board9 at the cornerend of the classroom. I used red paperfor my wish list so that my classmateswould notice that it came from me.

Now I know how proud10 I was to letmy classmates know who and what Iwanted to become when I grew up. Mynumber one wish was to become a famoustennis player！ I knew that nobody but mein my class had wished for it. Good thingis that my classmates and teachers did notmake fun of me， though.

Fifteen years have passed sincethen， but I can still remember how muchI tried to make my tennis skills better. Iplayed every summer in the tennis courtin our neighborhood， and played witholder players there as well. I learnedtennis on my own， as hiring11 a coach12was expensive. I tried to do it the hardand long way， but the time I could spendon my childhood dream was limited13because of my studies. I had tobalance14 my life as a student， an onlychild （more housework to do） and atennis fan.

I was seventeen that time， and Iknew it was hard to do everything as Iwish. At last I had to give up learningtennis because my study and time forfamily are more important than anythingelse. Now that I am learning to live bymyself， I hopeto find timeand， if there isan opportunity15， I willplay tennis once again.
