For most of my life, I played tennis.
But...I wasn't a pro like some people would think..
Most Asian parents make their kid excel in a particular academic subject.
They also made them excel in a hobby of some sort.
When my parents used to go to church, they would usually hear this from other people.
So they thought, I would be interested in playing tennis.
I played tennis sporadically throughout my life. Usually in the summer or when there was some free lessons being given.
I was...decent..
but for some reason, I thought I was good enough to join the High School tennis team..
At first you start as a substitute...or 'sub' for short.
when the coach saw that you were improving, you would move up and actually compete with other players from different schools.
First the coach assessed how well I actually played.
For two years or so...I was always the sub.
It wasn't like I didn't practice, my coach would try to train me so that I was more agile on my feet..
I think he just gave up on me at some point.

I would be the one to pick up the balls after each practice.
I would see him and the star players gather together to talk...
I can only imagine what they were saying..
