I love to try new things but I somehow always find myself giving up on them. For example, when I was eight, I went through a phase where I really wanted to join karate. So I convinced my mom to immediately sign me up for a class. Everything was going really well in the first three weeks. But after a month, it started going downhill. I started dreading classes, I thought my teacher was the worst, and I even tried to skip a few classes. I told my mom that I was having a horrible time and that I didn't want to take karate classes anymore. To this day, I honestly wish I hadn't done that. If I could've been slightly more positive about the those karate classes, I would probably still be taking it today. If you're like me, you can kind of relate

I believe that cheerleaders are a key element. The missing puzzle piece that fully completes a high school.

Cheerleaders are much more than how they appear in Hollywood movies or on daily TV dramas. I believe that cheerleaders are crucial, and work very hard to bring smiles onto people’s faces.
More than 45 plus United States Athletic or Boxing Commissions have agreed to regulate and allow Mixed Martial Arts in their states. While the sport continues to explode and the enthusiasm seems to know no limits, regulation has added much needed rules and guidelines to ensure the safety of the participants and spectators.

What I am slowly coming to learn and accept is the concept that failure and not knowing is okay because finding out what one will thrive in, is a process that has peaks and valleys but ultimately you have learned something from each of those. Neil Gaiman talks of a concept of “making great art,” and many would define great art as the “Mona Lisa” by Leonardo Da Vinci or “Moonlight Sonata” by Beethoven, however, I think Gaiman ultimately means make and do what you enjoy most because what you enjoy most will, in time, produce success.

The gym where I train and workout, the Dubuque Martial Arts Group, is a place where I know who I am. It is a place I can go to escape my problems for a while and release some stress.
