Recalling my move to United World College South East Asia (UWCSEA) in Singapore, it had been sudden and drastic, yet in retrospect seemed much needed. From living in the cushioned environment of a small city in India, I was now living in a boarding house with 200 strangers from over 50 different countries. The change was very demanding, since the competition both on and off the court had also increased dramatically. Not only was balancing academics and tennis challenging, living away from my parents also became a great adjustment I personally had to make. Nonetheless, my boarding school experience made my transition to college all the more easier. A huge advantage of it was the exposure to various different cultures and perspectives, which prepared me well for the culture shock one typically experiences entering college. During those 4 years in Singapore, I also had my first experience with AddedSport; in this case, as a client. With the help of Akshay, founder of AddedSport, and his team, I was able to get recruited to play tennis at Haverford College, a top Division 3 liberal arts college in Philadelphia. People say that college is the best time of one’s life and my experience lived up to the hype.
