Something I was interested in when I was boxing when I was younger I used to train for boxing when I was 12 for the summer and because my dad wanted me to exercise and not do anything the whole summer. It was a good experience for me to learn the basics of boxing at the time and made me healthier. Today I’m still interested in boxing but I just don’t train for it anymore I just love watching boxing events or boxing highlights. I like analyzing the fights and seeing what skills they have in boxing, like reflexes, footwork, punching power, and boxing IQ . From what I know so far boxing is a combat sport in which two people, usually wearing protective gloves and other protective equipment such as hand wraps and mouthguards usually helps you protect yourself from any injuries while fighting. My favorite fight when I was younger was Floyd Mayweather vs Manny Pacquiao it was one of the first fights that made me interested in boxing I really wanted Manny to win but of course, Floyd won and was undefeated. After I boxed at 12 my curiosity grew because when I turned 15 I tried boxing again but this time it was in a different environment since I moved recently at the time and also my best friend was convincing me that we should try boxing. So we convinced our parents to sign up and then we ended up training there for a year than during the summer of that same year we lost motivation to boxing and ended up quitting, it was mainly our trainers fault because they didn’t really train us like boxers there will be some days where we do nothing but just excersize. They didn’t really push us to work hard or rarely train us we just trained ourselves mostly. But my curiosity for boxing was in a good way because it made me have a better understanding and respect for boxing and it helped me learn how to work hard and learned that stuff isn’t easy as it seems.

Baldwin response

When Baldwin says the world is larger he means that there is a lot we don’t know what’s going on but n the world. It would be useful to learn about the true meaning and what the government does or learn how to survive on earth, like self defense classes. In this world it be very useful be there is a lot of violence and gangs these days it would be useful to learned the basics on how to protect yourself in dangerous situations how talk your way out of them.  Everyone should feel save and protected at all times with school teaching self defense classes as like an elective or it can be an optional classes for extra credits. I have took boxing classes and it makes me feel safer when I’m with people because I can defend for myself or my peers and it nice when they could depend on me sometimes

Time capsule

I Hope you get at least AB’s and up on all classes there is no excuses, don’t stress to much on your current job because that job that I assume you will still have isn’t your future it will take you no where that you are dreaming for it’s just a stepping stone toward your true passion.Don’t overthink to much just trust the process and yourself on having a successful future aim to be independent and don’t be afraid to ask for help to your friends and family because I know at some point your going to hit rock bottom that’s what you and everything one has to go through to learn to build your way up. Hitting rock bottom will be the ultimate test of will and courage and strength, there will be moments where you will burn out or want to give up but try to make it a short term process because digging yourself deeper isn’t a way out of the hole. There is still, along way to go, open up to people, Save your money even if you got nothing to save for because you don’t know if there will be a bump in the road where you need it the most.
