When I was little, I was always bullied about being fat and getting into fights. As I got older, I
began to acquire an interest in sports. Knowing my dad was a wrestling coach was cool, but then
I came upon my father’s wrestling bracket at home. I looked how his name came from one end to
the other and with the word champion under his name. That was the day I became inspired to
learn more about wrestling and to just do it. My father was the head coach of the wrestling team
in Germany so I visit him during a team practices. So, when I was four years-old some of the
wrestlers would pull me on the mat and we would roll around, they would try to teach me how to
wrestle. As I got older and came to practices sometimes some of the wrestlers would just beat
the hell out of me because they thought they were so good, but I never gave up until my mom
made me stop. Later when I went over to the middle school here in Misawa. I started really
working out with the team. So, I started training and losing weight so I could become a better
wrestler. I have experienced boxing, jujitsu, kendo, and karate; then my dream starter to wonder.
