One night when I was five, I had a dream, that I had won!
As I was standing on the grass courts of Wimbledon.

I heard Someone speak that this can come true,
But it will take great effort everyday from you.

My Mom put me in private lessons each week,
And I began practicing serves and groundstrokes tirelessly.

This past summer we visited the NBTA,
And I got a glimpse of Mr. Nick B. giving a lesson that day!

The coaching legend turned and looked at me,
And I prayed that he saw what I know I can be.

Maybe they will see the talent in me,
The determination, power, and athletic ability.

Each day I strive to perfect my form,
Like the many legends who came before.

Maybe I will grow over six feet tall,
As I gaze at my poster of Sharipova on my wall.

Federer, Roddick, Hennin, and Nadal,
They so are amazing, I love them all!

To be trained by the best at the NBTA,
Is a tennis girl’s dream, I will make it someday.

CYA on the courts guys!
