My Biggest Regret

Many times in life I regret not doing something. My biggest regret in life is not playing tennis sooner. I regret it because I spent all of my time playing basketball. I got burnt out of playing basketball and I needed something new to do. At first, I thought tennis was a joke. I didn't think it required much effort and anyone who played tennis was weird and definitely not athletic. I thought the only "real" sports at my school were basketball, softball, and football. They were the only sports that really got attention in our small community. There were not many popular kids at my school that played tennis. In fact, for a short time I didn't even know our school had a tennis team. I am so lucky that one of my good friends told me about tennis. The first time I stepped out on the tennis court, I knew this sport was perfect for me. I found out very quickly that tennis required you to be very athletic. Tennis is a sport where you are constantly moving back and forth and forwards and backwards. You also need to have very quick reactions because the ball is always moving fast toward you. I am glad I fell in love with tennis. I think I have turned this regret around because now I play tennis in college. It makes up for the time in high school that I did not get to play. In life you should take risks and try things you have never tried before. You only have one life to live. This relates to our theme of lies and deception because many times when people regret a decision they have made, they lie about it. They do not want people to know what they have done.
