Anticipation Is Often Greater Than Realization

“Anticipation is often greater then realization”

It is my second semester at Tennessee Technological University. I am from Russia and I came here to study and play tennis for the university. When I first came to Cookeville I really loved it here. I met new friends, I was learning English, so it was really interesting for me. Everything was good before I met my tennis team and my coach then.

So I had to take baskets, had pick up all the balls, and had to take water for everybody. I was not expecting that, it seemed like a punishment. Also, we had to run at 6 am two times a week; one day I was late, and was fired from the team.

Nevertheless, three days before my flight I received the email from Nicholls admissions saying that I can not come because two of my classes didn't count, so instead of 16 hours, I had only 10. I felt like my life finished, and God did not exist. So, I had to talk to the TTU coach, explain him the situation and pray he would take me back. He took me back, so now I am here.
