In addition, I have also discovered that making a difference in people's lives by teaching proper tennis technique is the most important experience I've had in my tennis career.

My belief in community service comes from early experiences with my mother who teaches kindergarten. Helping her in the classroom from an early age, I quickly became aware how rewarding teaching others and sharing knowledge can be. </p> <p>As an advanced junior tennis player, I helped teach tennis to young beginners at a local tennis club.

I have been working for the City of Tampa for over a year now and have come in contact with a variety of people. I am employed at The City of Tampa Tennis Complex at Hillsborough Community College, which is one of the largest tennis facilities in the south. There are 16 hard courts and 12 clay, totaling 28. Although over half of our customers are 55 and up, there are also young children, high school students, and the Hillsborough Community College Lady Hawks team that share a love for these courts.</p> </p><p><a href="http://www.dosomething.org/node/32148">read more</a></p> http://www.dosomething.org/node/32148#comments Education &amp; Environment sports tennis tennis complex 28.006247 -82.506320 Tue, 14 Aug 2007 11:16:39 -0500 andrewhs15 32148 at http://www.dosomething.org
