Though it is not easy, Jaeger believes that every little bit helps and that by working together, they can brighten the world.

Jaeger believes tennis has helped her become the person she is today. She is thankful for the sport and all that it has done for her. Tennis has given Jaeger a platform to make a difference in the world, and she is using that platform to help those in need.
