I consider the most memorable moment of my life to be when I received a tennis racket for the first time because this event marked my life. I'll just call it a “racket,” but it's really neither specific nor unique. I've been playing tennis since I was five, so I've had a lot of rackets, five to be exact. Depending on age, the playing style changes when the racket reaches a condition that negatively affects performance on the court. I chose my tennis rackets as my learning tools because I have dedicated much of my life to tennis. I believe that tennis has contributed greatly to the development of my morals, ethics and behavior. In the following paragraphs I will write about the changes that tennis has made in my life, about each of the rackets I have owned, the memories I have had with each one, and the importance and relevance each one has had on me as a person.

Get Original EssayWhen I was four years old, being at an age where I was not capable of making these kinds of decisions on my own, my parents decided to enroll me in a sport. They took me to basketball, swimming and tennis lessons. They gave me the opportunity to choose which one I wanted to pursue so that I could put all my energy and time into pursuing just one sport rather than being mediocre at each of the three. Tennis at that time gave me greater happiness than any other sport and, despite my immaturity and age, I decided to continue with tennis. For my fifth birthday my parents gave me my first tennis racket. I will never forget her. It was a junior size red Wilson racket. I have a photo of me holding that racket during my first tennis lesson and I still have that racket at home as a souvenir of when I started playing tennis. In the following year, when I was six years old and had already improved a little, my tutor advised me to get a new racket. It was a larger Wilson, but it was still a kid's racket. It was blue with rocket graphics on its head. I remember this racket because it was with this racket that I broke my strings for the first time, something I wanted to do for a long time. It was an incredible feeling. When I was ten I started playing some local tournaments. For these I got a racket that looked like the professional one, but was still lighter. It was a blue Babolat. In my first tournament with that racket I came second and won my first trophy. In my second tournament, I won two matches and made it to the final against the girl I lost to before. I know it would have been a tough match. I started to win, but something unpredictable happened. During one of my serves, the racket flew out of my hand, went straight to the ground, and broke right in the center. At that time I only had one racket. For this reason I had to borrow a racket from someone. I looked around and the only person I knew who could lend me one had a racket much heavier than mine. I had no choice. I played with that racket and lost the match. That day I learned why a tennis player must have more than one racket. If the strings or racket breaks, you need to have another racket to play with. After that tournament I was invited to train and join my high school's tennis team. I didn't have a racket, so I had to buy one. Not just one racket but two. I bought them in different colors but with the same specifications as the first. I started.
