There is a place where I am
personally challenged and in this same place, hundreds of girls were challenged
before me. Woodstown High School’s
tennis courts teach teamwork, friendship, leadership, work ethic, and
sportsmanship. Here it is easy to see how enthusiastic the surrounding community
is to be involved as you hear their chants and cheers on the sideline. Family,
friends and neighbors in the area are so supportive, creating a sense of
inclusiveness and unity in such a small town. This place is where I find peace,
happiness, and a sense of daily accomplishment.

Well spoken, I enjoyed the connection you made with this tennis courts. Of course, since you've fought many battles (playing tennis), winning and loosing that place obviously has importance to you.
ReplyDeleteI like how you showed tennis courts hold an important cultural valuable around your community. However, I think you should have stated other sources of why Woodstown High School's tennis courts is an important cultural place.
ReplyDeleteI loved how you brought both a personal connection as well as related it back to the community. The only thing maybe you could have done is set a vivid scene for the reader. But really...great job!
ReplyDeleteI liked how you related the fact that girls before you as well as yourself are embracing the love of tennis. I feel like the only thing that I would love to know is how games are set up here at the tennis courts or is it just you come and you play?
ReplyDeleteI loved how you brought your personal connection and what the tennis court means to you.
ReplyDeleteI wish you talked a bit more about the historical significant of the tennis court.
I thought it was awesome how you brought your own personal experience and history into this place. I just wish you touched on more of the historical significance of the place itself.
ReplyDeleteThis was very personal to you and I like that. I also like the history of the place you offer, and wish you talked a little more about it. Great essay though!
