ESSAY PROMPT

Upload a 500-word essay describing which Texas Tennis Hall of Fame player you most aspire to be like.  In what ways do you feel connected to the Hall of Fame member and their story?  Explain how and why and include personal comparisons. Please be as specific as possible.  Hint: If you can take your statement and copy and paste it into someone else’s essay, then it’s not specific enough.
