Z1-2 The Boxer

"Pain can be the only thing to let you know you're still alive..." This is why I began my career as a boxer. My English teacher once told me that quote. She told the class this quote during my senior year of high school. Back then I had no idea what I wanted to do with my future, but when she said the quote it all clicked. I wanted to become a boxer. I started going to boxing classes and I excelled in the class. I was the fastest learning student there was. I think I went to the classes twice a week for about two months. It's slowly getting harder to remember from being hit in the head so often. After I learned everything they could teach me I signed up for my first fight. I know my story is sounding very impressive, but my first fight was far from impressive. I got knocked out in the first round of the fight. After my first fight which turned out to be a loss I felt very unmotivated and upset. I had no motivation to train or sign up for another fight. This feeling didn't last long because I wanted to win. I put so much time and effort into training. Giving up now would be pointless because of the amount of time I put into boxing. I never wanted to give up, so I brushed my shoulders off and started training again, but this time I trained so much harder than I trained before. I was putting 200 percent into everything that involved boxing. I had a slow start to my boxing career because I started training my senior year. Most boxers have been training their whole lives to be boxers, but not me. I had to wait so long to get my start. I started to regret it right away, but I realized there was nothing I could do about it, so I just kept on training. I rarely went out and hung out with my friends around this time. That’s about the only thing I regret now. If I could have found the perfect balance between the two I would have loved to. I lost all my friends while I went out and trained all the time. This was probably the biggest mistake I’ve ever made in my life. I’m sitting here on my back porch all alone because I lost all of my friends. The man who said “Money can’t buy happiness” was telling the truth. I have a whole lot of money, but no one to enjoy it with. Enough about my sad life let’s get back to my boxing career. Well after my first loss I decided to get things together and start winning. Starting off with a loss is not how I planned to take my boxing career, but I promised myself something that has stayed true throughout all the year I boxed. My first loss will be my only loss. The rest of my career was pretty good. I would sign up for a fight and win. I began to be the talk of the boxing world. I never had an opponent who could beat me. I even won a couple of championships. The best part about my wins was the prize money I would get. I’m not saying it was a lot at first, but it was enough to have fun with. Later in my career is when I started getting a lot of money. I could afford a brand new car with cash. Let’s just say that was a really nice feeling. I guess to sum up my career I could say it was perfect. I got only one loss which was my first fight and it was the motivation to become the best at boxing, so I went out and did it.
