Process Paper
When I heard that this year’s theme was leadership and legacy, I was at first confused on what my topic should be. I thought about this for a long time and asked myself what I was interested in. I play competitive tennis, so I wanted to do a project related to tennis. When I thought of leadership and legacy in tennis I immediately thought of Billie Jean King’s role in women’s tennis.
I began my research by getting all the background information and the context of when the events took place in. Then, I visited a library and found some books that were written by Billie Jean King that talked about her role in women’s equality. I then researched on her leadership, and how she got women’s tennis to where it is now. After that I researched about the legacy of Billie Jean King, and how women are treated today in tennis and sports.
I chose to do a website because I felt that it was the best way to tell my story. I wanted to include a lot of pictures of quotes and the website was the best way to do it. A website would also also me to use a variety of media, like videos, audio clips, and pictures. A website also allowed me to make edits practically anywhere, which made finishing my project more efficient. I also liked how the website would be presented to viewers.
My topic relates to this year’s theme of leadership and legacy perfectly. Billie Jean King was an amazing leader. She displayed that by defying everyone in tennis to start her own women’s tour because she believed that women deserved better. She also founded World Team Tennis, which is a great way for men and women to work together. She left behind a great legacy. Because of her, so many more girls are participating in sports.
