Jackie adjusts to U.S.
By LYRA KATENA
UP sports writer
For Lamar tennis player, Jackie
Castillejo, her transitions from her
life in her hometown of Manila,
Philippines, to an American life was
sudden and unexpected.
While visiting the United States
for a senior tennis tournament, a
single phone call changed her life
and made her dream corhe true.
“In July 1982, I played in the
Federation Competition in San
Francisco,” Castillejo said. “After
the competition, I talked to a friend,
a professional tennis player, in
Florida on the phone.
“He introduced me to Broward
Community College in Fort Lauder-
dale,” she said. “I flew to Florida in-
stead of going home with the rest of
the players.”
Castillejo did not go back to the
Philippines until the next year. “I
didn’t have any clothes except the
small amount that I had from the
competition,” she said. “My parents
had to send me clothes little by
little."
Finding a college in the United
States was one of her goals. “My
goal was to come to America and to
get a scholarship,” Castillejo said.
She achieved that goal by going to
Broward. She played for the coach
there and received a two-year
scholarship.
In Fort Lauderdale, Castillejo,
who started to play tennis when she
was 12, swept the tennis courts
clean. In her freshman year, she
played in the state and the national
level, winning both.
“Winning the state and national
was the best, because it was the first
time I was recognized international-
ly,” she said.
The two years at junior college
soon came to an end. Castillejo
achieved her goal by going to Fort
Lauderdale, but then her next goal
awaited her. “My goal at Broward
was to go to a four-year college,” she
said.
Castillejo was given a few offers in
Jackie Castillejo
Florida, but she chose to come to
Lamar. “Lamar had the best pro-
gram compared to others, so I came
here,” she said. “I don’t regret it at
all.”
The training here has helped
Castillejo to improve in her sport,
she said. “I feel I’m a lot better and
in shape than when I came here in
August (1984),” she said.
The 5-foot-l-inch communication
major is a team-oriented person.
“I’m happy when I win my own
match but I really wish that as a
team, we’ll do well,” she said.
“That’s why I like college tennis,”
she said. “Every match I win, it
counts for the team; when the team
wins, I’m happy.”
Tennis means much to Castillejo.
“I just feel that tennis brought me so
far,” she said. “I just can’t imagine
what I’d be doing without tennis.
“I might not be here,” she said. “I
might never have seen another coun-
try.”
Castillejo feels that tennis is not
only a sport, but something that one
can learn from. “In tennis, you have
to keep on going,” she said. “In life
you have to do the same thing.”
