THOSE THAT KNOW ME KNOW THAT I DON'T CARE THAT MUCH FOR PROFESSIONAL SPORTS. THE ONLY ONES THAT I CARE FOR ARE WOMEN'S TENNIS, NASCAR, AND BASEBALL. I BECAME HOOKED ON WOMEN'S TENNIS BACK IN 1995, I'LL HAVE TO ASK MY FRIENDS THE LARSENS FOR THEIR ANNIVERSITY DATE SO I CAN FIGURE OUT THE EXACT DAY SINCE IT WAS THREE DAYS AFTER THEIR WEDDING. I WAS WORKING UP AT DEVIL'S LAKE ND WITH MY FRIEND GREG NEWBERRY. WE WOULD FINISH THE AREA WHICH WE HAD TO DO ARCHAEOLOGICAL SURVEY ON EACH DAY IN THE AFTERNOON AND GO BACK TO THE MOTEL. GREG LIKED WATCHING TENNIS AND I HAD FORGOTTEN MY FISHING GEAR, SO I WAS FORCED TO WATCH THE WOMEN'S TENNIS TOURNAMENT THAT WAS ON WITH HIM. QUICKLY ONE OF THE PLAYERS CAUGHT MY EYE WITH HER SKILL, GRACE, AND CHARISMA. THAT PLAYER WAS MONICA SELES. I COULDN'T BELIEVE THAT THERE WAS A PROFESSIONAL ATHLETE LIKE HER AT THE TIME.

SINCE THEN, I AM STILL AMAZED THAT THERE IS A PROFESSIONAL ATHLETE SUCH AS MONICA SELES. I WAS SHOCKED AND PLEASED WHEN SHE TOOK TIME FROM TRAINING FOR A MAJOR TOURNAMENT TO SERVE ON A JURY WHEN SHE WAS CALLED FOR JURY DUTY. MOST PROFESSIONAL ATHLETES WOULD HAVE TRIED TO HAVE GOTTEN OUT OF JURY DUTY, BUT SHE FELT IT WAS HER DUTY TO SERVE ON A JURY IF CALLED TO SERVE ON ONE. EVERYTHING THAT MONICA DOES SEEMS TO REFLECT HER PRIDE IN BEING AN AMERICAN AND HER REALIZATION THAT SHE IS A ROLE MODEL FOR MANY GIRLS.

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
