I'm ruthless in the ring, stalking on my prey, just waiting for the right moment for the kill.
Bloody nose and cloudy vision, I weave under the left hook.
Right to the body then right uppercut to the head, lights out for my opponent.
In the ring I have one goal and one goal only, to punch the soul out of my opponents and break them.
No matter how many times I've been hit, no matter how badly it hurts, I will do everything to win.
I learned determination for success the hard way.
I spent two years in Taiwan, nine years in Japan and 10 years in America.
My English was broken all throughout middle school and high school, people made fun of me.
I was a C- average student in middle school.
I was a C average student in high school, I learned how to fail.
The hard part is to how to learn and grow from the fails.
In a high school where a B average was same as a failure and I was seen as a student without hope.
I was at the bottom.
Being at the bottom, the only way I could go was up.
No matter how dark the bottom was, I was always able to see the light at the top.
As I entered senior year in high school, I told myself I'm going to be a B student and I am going to put 150 percent into everything that I do.
I began to put more effort in and did more than the person next to me.
If he or she was spending two hours studying for a test, I put in four hours.
Slowly but surely I began to climb up.
As I took each step up, I gave myself a pat on the back and reminded myself that it is all a process.
The small amount of success that I gained, I celebrated by challenging myself with more.
Now I'm a Specialist at Apple, Spartan Daily Ad Staff and an instructor of Dreamland Boxing Club.
It's all a process and it's just the beginning.
