7. Roger Federer
Tennis star Roger Federer was born on August 8, 1981 in Basel, Switzerland, to Swiss father Robert
Federer and South-African mother Lynette Du Rand. Federer's parents met while on a business trip for a
pharmaceutical company, where they both worked.
Federer took an interest in sports at an early age, playing tennis and soccer at the age of 8. The young
athlete excelled at athletics, and by age 11, he was among the Top 3 junior tennis players in Switzerland. At the age
of 12, he decided to quit other sports and focus all his efforts on tennis, which he felt he excelled at more
naturally. By the age of 14, he was fully immersed in the game, playing 2-3 tournaments per month, and practicing
six hours of the game a week, along with up to three hours of conditioning. To perfect his technique, he often
imitated his idols, Boris Becker and Stefan Edberg.
Federer won the Wimbledon boys' singles and doubles titles in 1998, and turned professional later
that year. At Wimbledon 2001, he caused a sensation by knocking out reigning singles champion Pete Sampras in
the fourth round. In 2003, following a successful season on grass, Federer became the first Swiss man to win a
Grand Slam title when he became a Wimbledon singles champion.
In 2011, Federer won his 18th Masters Series tournament, and won his first Paris Masters, with a
vicotry against French tennis pro Jo-Wilfried Tsonga. That same year, he beat 2009 U.S. Open champion Juan
Martin del Potro, and went on to defeat Andy Murray at the Dubai Open.
Federer's career escalated once again in 2012, when he defeated defending champion Novak Djokovic
in the Wimbledon semifinals, and went on to beat Andy Murray in the Wimbledon finals—Federer's seventh
Wimbledon victory. The Wimbledon 2012 win helped the 30-year-old tennis star regain the No. 1 spot, and tie the
world No. 1 ranking record of 286 weeks (set by Pete Sampras).

My name is Sally Friday. I started school when I was six-years-old. I went to kindergarten
A
through fifth grade at Booker Elementary and while I was there, I won an award for perfect
attendance. I also won an award for honor roll all four terms. Then I attended Booker Middle School,
and there I also won a coupke of awards: one for perfect attendance and two for being named Student
of the Year—one sixth grade and the other in eighth grade. I am now a Senior at Booker High School. I
plan on finishing school and maybe going to a cmmunity college.
As I said in the beginning, I was born here in Florida and I’ve lived here my whole life. I
B
would like to see more of the USA but unfortunately, I don’t have any money to leave Florida to go
anywhere right now. I hope you have enjoyed rading my life story as much as I have enjoyed writing it
for you. Try to get as much as you can out of school, you’re only there for twelve years and when you
graduate, you’re home free. Here’s tip for you to live or try to live by: If you think it, it can be done.
I was born on a warm, sunny day in June 3 in County, Florida. I still life in Orange County,
C
Florida, and I go to school at Booker High Shool. I live with my mom, Kate; my brother, Jake; and my
Aunt Molly. When I was born, my brother was fifteeen-months-old and hid under the table from me.
Jake is a sweet kid and he would do anything gor me, but like all brothers and sisters we fight lie cats
and dogs. Sometimes when no one was around, Jake would come up to me and bite my toes for no
reason. I still love him but only because he is my brother.
Life to me means friends and family who you can trust and who trusts you. I am pretty
D
much on the happy of life, but like all teens I do I have my”days of”. That means I do have some sad
days or depressed days. I have a few friends here that sort of look out for me and when I am having a
bad day, I have some one here at school to talk to. I make my school days go by thinking of either the
next hour or what I will do when I get home or on the weekend
