I currently am a second degree black belt with 8 years of consistent training. My journey through this experience was not at all easy. In fact, I had to go through much dedication, time, and sacrifice. My training involved me going to practice 4 days a week, not including tournaments, weekend practices, and times when I went to practice when I wasn’t required to. All this training prepared me for tests that I had to earn in order to get my next belt; many people have failed, but I’ve never failed a single test. In my preparation for becoming a second degree, I’ve also had to assist

Throughout high school and undergraduate studies, I have tried to achieve academic excellence, improve my athletic abilities and become a better employee at a law firm. Although several experiences have shaped me as an individual, I believe that wrestling set the foundation for most of my improvements and accomplishments. I first started practicing wrestling when I was six years old and competing when I was nine. Although I was training four times a week, I failed to win anything for several years. I became less confident in my abilities, but I did not give up on the sport. I wanted to prove to myself that I can compete for medals with other athletes. Poor performances motivated me to work harder in practices, spectate older wrestlers and exercise

I have been told that I am quite knowledgeable in many areas of life and through the employment opportunities I had prior to studying here at York University, has amplified me to that upper class. In April 2005, I graduated from Seneca College from the Civil Engineering Technology Building Co-op Diploma program and found work in the field of civil engineering with professional experience both in the public and private sector in the area of land development for 6 or 7 years.

Although there are legendary figures in sports that I could aspire to be as proficient as them, I’m more in favor of playing sports as a hobby. My brothers were the ones to introduce wrestling to me, and over the years it has grown onto me. For me, wrestling dismisses the notions of joining other sports like Football and Baseball that I don’t have any notable natural ability to play. With it being one of the only physical activities I do, during the wrestling season it is the only time that I am truly dedicated to staying fit and healthy. With the sport’s rigorous training, it teaches discipline, while building up willpower.

I started at a young age to begin my training for a black belt. It was a way for my parents to be sure I could protect myself from harm or danger. I spent my nights after school training to compete and reach the next belt. Months turned into years and finally I was close to getting my black belt. I woke up before school to practice and after school just so I was prepared. When I was training, we'd start with the basics and help the lower belt prepare for their test. After they were set, then the higher ranks were able to train. When I helped the lower belts, I'd start off slowly and repeat the training so they could remember it. There were younger students than I; therefore, I would create games or fun ways for the kids to remember. This kept

While I enjoy participating in various hobbies, one of the hobbies I’ve found the most meaningful is an activity I’ve taken up more recently, Jiu-Jitsu.

There was a place advertising for a free first class, Tracy's Karate. I participated in my first lesson in the first week of August. The senseis (teachers) and other students there were all so helpful, supportive and respectful. I’d known almost instantly I wanted to sign up. Several months into attending classes weekly, my practice paid off and I was promoted a belt in Jiu-Jitsu. Currently, I am still attending classes and hope to do so
