When Santosh was sixteen years old, her parents pressurized her to tie the knot, like other girls of her village. But she chose not to give in to their pressure tactics.

7. Summary of Maria Sharapova's Life This story illustrates her journey of becoming the world champion in women’s tennis. She achieved the number one position through hard labor, extensive rigorous training and several sacrifices on the personal front.  Maria was born in Siberia in Russia and left her hometown at the tender age of nine to pursue her dream of becoming a tennis star. She had to stay separately from her mother and moved to Florida along with her father to proceed with her training. Although she suffered bullying on account of being a foreigner, she never lost hope or gave in to petty remarks. Her will and determination led her to achieve success and reap satisfying results from her practice sessions. Although she mentions that money is a motivating factor for playing tennis, her sole aim remains to become and continue being number one in the world of tennis.
