Challenges of my life
Many high school students tend to follow the crowd and not to do what they believe to be the right thing. I was one of them. It took me two years of high school to realize that I was capable of standing on my own two feet and taking up the 1 of wrestling, which has had a long history in my 2.
The tipping point(临界点) for me was the constant urging of my family to 3. I can remember my grandpa telling me the story of 4 he won his championship match and the 5 he had when they announced his name as New York State Champion. I never could have 6 that feeling till the night I won my first match. The one thing that scared me away from this sport was the 7 which was a tight fitting singlet that exposed my entire body. I also never realized the 8 demand that wrestling took—the long hours of learning new moves and lifting weights. And the mental 9 for this sport is overwhelming, too. Also, I had to learn to 10 my time between school, home, work, family, and friends.
Wrestling is more of an individual sport but it also 11 the help and support of a team to be successful. The coaches taught us to 12 ourselves and also the opponents that we face on the mat. 13 a team at Christmas, we were able to bring toys to Upstate Hospital cancer unit for the 14 children who were facing a major illness and could not be home for the holidays with their families. This taught me a valuable 15 not to be afraid of those things that frighten me. It also made me 16 that I need to live each day to the fullest.
Wrestling has 17 me that I am capable of being my own individual. The 18 that I have gained has allowed me the possibility of furthering my wrestling 19 later. From this sport, I now know that in order to be 20 you must not be afraid to try something new.
