How’s this for show and tell? Former world No. 1 Victoria Azarenka revealed on social media this week that she recently surprised her son Leo’s school with a visit—but she was the one who left the most touched.
“I was honored to be invited,” Azarenka shared in a video on Friday, calling the visit the “highlight of her week.”
The two-time Australian Open champion detailed how she shared her tennis journey with the class, imparting them with the life lessons of dedication, perserverance and passion, and even allowed the children to pass around her Olympic medals, a mixed doubles gold and a singles bronze she won at the London 2012 Games.
“I signed maybe five or six arms,” Azarenka recalled. “Leo told me afterwards, ‘Mommy, when you left, all the class wanted you to sign their shoes, too, so I think we would’ve gone [through] everything in the classroom for me to sign.”
