b) Tennis

I cherish the friendships I made at DSH. Though I’ve always considered myself shy, I found confidence through wrestling and football. These days, tennis has become my passion—I play five times a week and still carry plenty of strength both on and off the court.

Being adopted at two months, I later discovered that my biological father was also a 156‑pound state champion wrestler. The apple, it seems, did not fall far from the tree.

Life is short, and nowhere is that more evident than on Elmwood Drive—the block of professor‑built homes where I grew up surrounded by children my age. In just the past five years, six of my classmates from Elmwood have passed away. That’s right—six lives gone from one block.
