My name is Dhruv Talati, Ive played sports for nu Essays - Cricket

My name is Dhruv Talati, I've played sports for numerous years - I started tennis since the age of 3 until last year, and cricket just two years ago. I also played some badminton, table tennis, football, hockey and swimming across the years of my life before high-school! I loved tennis amazingly when I was young, I always put my whole heart into every single thing related to tennis. Then the chance of my life came knocking on my door when I was only 6 years of age; Compete Tennis, an elite tennis, asked me to join them. It was an immense boost me: from once a week club tennis I had 2 tournaments, 3 compete tennis training days and 1 private training session- all in a week! Unfortunately, I was told that I was lacking in physical strength and it would be fatal in the future so, reluctantly, I stopped tennis and exchanged it for cricket. At first, cricket was a nightmare as I was really bad at the game but gradually I improved my technique and was not scared of faster bowlers. Eventually, my heart went away from tennis and placed itself on cricket! Before I knew it I had started private training sessions. As my game improved I joined a club called Ilford Cricket Club, but as they were an advanced team they didn't give me a chance. This dilemma ended when I joined Fenford. Fenford were a skilled team of brilliant players but they all needed a back-bone, someone to get the base of the runs, they were really eager to give a chance to anyone. So I went to Fenford and I found myself as the backbone and before I realised I was the highest run scorer for Fenford! Fenford then considered me as an elite player'. Elite player' was a high performing players from the club (most of them were my friends). I mastered the basics of cricket and I even learnt high-level technique, and after rigorous training I got into Met District Cricket. My parents noticed I was getting bored in the holidays so they suggested I should do an IQ test called Mensa. They said my friend had achieved a big score in the test. So I agreed to do the test. I really enjoyed the revision, the online practise tests were much better than written tests. The book where most of my revision came from was the GMAT books - while it was challenging it was amazingly fun, as the questions made it relating to real life and real incidents - and some questions where fiction! Then came the day of the test I thought it would be a hall as big as the whole of ICHS, but it was smaller than a normal room in ICHS! There were a big number of adults and there was only one other child than me! I found the test comparatively easy to the 11 plus exams, but a bit harder than the SATs - the only thing that made the test a challenge was the duration of how long we had to complete a section. Surprisingly, I got a 162 (highest possible score) in my weakness verbal reasoning!
