Champions In My Eyes.

Regionals for tennis went great! Actually better than great, they were fantastic! We took first place, and everyone played in the finals...well, except me in singles. But that's a different story that I don't want to talk about. Still can't beat that girl from Pima, even though I know I can. Also, Kayla and I lost our doubles match in the finals against Pima. Once again we couldn't beat them. To be honest with you, we didn't play our best. We could have played so much better. We were just having a rough day. So I am the only one who lost both matches on our team. Woohoo I'm a loser! But everyone else won their finals matches. It was a great win for us. We went in with everything to lose, our team was the team to beat, we didn't let that happen though. Eastern Arizona still remains on top. I'm so proud of my team! We have worked hard and it shows. Hard work pays off.

 

I was happy that my parents, oldest sister and nephew were able to come and watch me. It was great having them there. I got to share what I love with them. They enjoyed it as well. Faces were placed with names, and more stories were told. My nephew is the cutest too. He loved watching me play, and also loved it when I played with him. The playing went both ways.

While in Mesa for Regionals, on our down time we would go to the mall across the street from our hotel. We had some funny experiences while there. We are just a funny group of girls. But window shopping was fun. If I was made of money, I would have owned all the Nike shoes I saw. Kindra and I went to all the sports stores while the other girls looked at clothes. Kindra and I both drooled over all the shoes that we saw. One of the nights Sally, Pedro, Kindra and I went and saw the movie 42. The movie is about Jackie Robinson the Dodgers baseball player and what he went through as a black baseball player. It was such a great movie and we all liked it. We all like baseball too, and not just because the boys look good in their baseball uniforms. The movie was so inspiring though.

Now we just keep practicing for Nationals. There will be a lot of different teams there from different states. I hope we do well! I know we will! Nationals are during our final exams week. So we all have to schedule our finals for the week before. After Nationals are done, we are done with the school year. So crazy to think that I have almost completed one year of college. It has been a great experience and I have loved every part. I can't wait to come back and start my second year.
