I Will Beat Them All

by Cristina Zolog
(Germany (born in Romania))

I am Cristina, 28, from Cluj, Romania. My destiny brought me in Germany ... cause I am a doctor, an orthopaedist.

I decided to come here, for my specialisation ... just so ...

When I start something, I wanna take it to the end. I wanna do things properly, as best as I can.

I am alone, in a stranger country...

Tennis... I have regrets about tennis. I started when I was 7 years old. I trained 6 years, then I abondonned. For school.

My parents wanted me to learn, even that my trainer told them... "She has talent, let her play".

I have regrets, but thats it, thats destiny. Who knows where I would have been now if i would have continued to play...

But anyway... I am alone in this country, in this small town. I saw a tennis court one day. But I told to myself... with who should I play?

I dont have any partner... I simply went there and asked... "I dont know anybody here... but I wanna play tennis."

The trainer said... "Come on Sunday and play with Janina, the women trainer." I came, played. They liked me. They chose me to play in their team.

And now... I train 2 times a week with the team, and Sundays I train alone, my service.

At the beginning, I could beat only one of the girls. I didn't have any practice. Now... the trainerin beats me hard.

I work hard, I improve my service, I see that I can...

Impossible is nothing is a known slogan, but is mine also. Till March, I will beat the trainerin also:))...

I will train, I will study videos on the Internet, so I can see where I make mistakes...

I wanna help the team, so we beat the opposite teams in championship.

But what is good for me... I returned to my old passion, I made friends and I dont feel myself so alone here, so far from home.

Impossible is nothing,
