Some of you might think I brought in these boxing gloves because I am a boxer or inspire to be a professional fighter someday, but in all honesty its none of these things. When I take a look at these gloves I see my past, present and future.

How these boxing gloves represent my past is the way I grew up as a kid. As I was younger I was always moving locations, didn’t have many friends and was not the biggest kid in school, so for some reason I would get bullied or trouble would just find its way. I was determined to find a way to defend my self. Looking at these gloves reminds me of how I trained to prepare my self for these encounters and my current love for MMA and boxing.

Next is my present, when I look at my life and all that I have accomplished up until this moment it didn’t come without a fight. I know a lot of people can relate because nothing comes easy in life. I have fought my way through many obstacles up until this point physically, mentally and emotionally. My main objective now is to be able to provide for my wife and son, juggling being a full-time worker and part-time student while trying to balance being a husband and father can be a challenge in itself.

Finally is my future, I cant visualize what the future has in store form me but I do know I can prepare myself what what lays ahead, these boxing gloves symbolize to me that I am fighting for much more then my self and that gives me the will to keep on pushing forward to never give up, to make my son proud of his father and what I have accomplished.

One thing I have learned in my lifetime is its not how hard you can hit; its about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. I am a simple man with regular goals and ambitions just like most, but thanks to my past and present I am prepared for my future.

    I think that someone less interested in sports or boxing could interpret this a lot differently. They could feel bad for Liston and not appreciate Ali’s greatness, as well as not appreciating or even thinking about what the photographer had to do to capture this moment. Also, someone of African-American heritage could view Muhammad Ali in this photo as a symbol of the struggle they have gone through to reach the…

    The fourth object that I chose to represent me are my Girl Scout Vests. The vests represent me because I have been in a Girl Scout Troop since the beginning. As some people would say “I was an original”. By that I mean that I was one of the starters of the troop as well as my friend Marin. I have earned tons of badges over the years, and each one led me to a new adventure.…

    I feel that the turtle and the panther best represent who I was in the past. The turtle represents shyness. I actually used to be a really crazy and outgoing kid, but when I got into fourth grade, I became super shy. I think it was because we had just gotten into the intermediate grades and kids had become a bit more gossip-y and sensitive or something like that. I was afraid that if I said something, I would say something that…

    One thing that has shaped me to become the person writing to you today, is my level of determination to succeed. That probably sounds hollow, because everyone will say that, but let me explain my story. I am not a prideful person or a personal flag waver, so even telling this story is difficult. I cannot say what I am now without showing how I’ve been fighting my whole life to be able to call myself determined.…

    After I won my first fight my family was screaming and jumping for joy “he won he won”. I felt great, I was unbeatable, no one could touch me. I continued my professional fighting career for four more fights, and did not lose a single fight. I couldn’t believe that I had an undefeated fighting streak; it all reflected back to the day I was bullied and laughed at. After my last fight I decided that this was not for me, I wanted to do a different martial art style more of a Chinese…
