My brother, Elijah

Sebene wrote this for an assignment about the person that had the greatest impact on her life. She was so sweet to write about her brother.

My brother, Elijah, has greatly affected my life because he was the one who taught me to play tennis. We have our ups and downs, but overall he’s a great tennis player and coach. First off, my brother takes lessons from one of the best coaches in Texas. He is basically passing down the information to me. My brother is a great tennis coach partially because of his coach, but he was the one who taught me to swing a racket.

He is the best tennis coach ever. Although he is mean sometimes, he is still a great coach. Everyone says I have great technique, almost flawless. It’s mostly my brother, but I have to give some credit to Brookhaven Country Club, which is where I go to train. When we do fitness at Brookhaven and sometimes at home, he pushes me over my limit and then it becomes my new limit because I know I can go over my limit.

My brother, Elijah, has greatly affected my life more than just tennis. He has kept me from eating junk food all day. Without him I would probably be obese. I am very thankful for my brother, Elijah. I also have another brother, Jeremiah, but he has not affected my life like my older brother, Elijah. We still have a lot of junk food in the house but I am not eating most of it like I usually do. Instead, my brother, Jeremiah, eats them all.
