Personal Narrative-Title Match Between Me And Bruno Sammartino

Since I was a kid I have always wanted to box and when I got older my parents finally let me box. They thought that I was going to be irresponsible and cause problems but then the summer going into ninth grade my father let me start boxing. I started off learning the basics simple combinations and how to move my feet the right way. I loved boxing at first then I grew to hate it as it got more difficult for me. My father wanted me to stay in boxing so I could learn to defend myself, but I didn’t care. At the end of my freshman year of high school, I was at the civic center with my boxing coach.  It was a warm night in May and I was getting ready to practice. The gym was filled with a lot of kids who were playing basketball. The gym was

“Why Kid?” said, my grandfather. I replied, “simple, not everyone can do it, that why I love it. I love the grind, I love the self-torture, and of course the leading reason I look ripped in a singlet. Wrestling is one of the most demanding sports there is. The dedication, hard work, dieting, endless practices, and the everlasting season. Don't forget sectionals, then finally state. I can't tell you how many parties that I had to turn down during the season because I didn't want to be tempted to binge eat. The countless Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner I've had to give up. I felt like a dog watching everyone eat their honey roasted turkey.

Nerves and the adrenaline feeling rushed through my body like a jet going sonic boom ripping through the air. I was on a school bus headed to a wrestling meet in York, Nebraska on a cold winter day in December. I figured my wrestling meet would be like all the other wrestling meets in the past, win most, lose a few. Never really thought this meet would be the final meet for the season. This meet would change my way of thinking towards wrestling and affect my confidence level.

At my teenage age I wish I had a trainer like these guys in the video, I would have become a retired heavy weight champion of the world. That didn’t happen during my time, but for these guys here in the video I am sure they will get there. Seeing their moves indicates they are serious and ready to do the damages to their adversaries. I salute you guys and keep it

The football season had just ended in Orem Utah and my coach was an assistant wrestling coach. People had been telling me things about wrestling the whole football season to the point where I actually considered it. I went to open mats one day and decided that I was going to wrestle. There were two other first year freshmen in my weight class and I beat both of them. In my first year of wrestling I was already varsity. The whole year I got pounded on over and over again by kids who had been wrestling for years. I kind of just accepted the fact that I was going to lose most of my matches. Our very last dual of the season was against Orem High School who were our mortal enemies. The dual started off at the 120 pound weight class. Me being in the 113 pound weight class meant I would be the last one to wrestle. The dual was incredibly close and by the time I was up Orem was winning the dual by one point. My coach told me to go out there and keep it simple. I went out, took him down, and pinned him in just fourteen seconds. The crowd exploded. Everybody started chanting my name. The captains picked me up and put me on their shoulders as they carried me around the gym. This event was important to my life because it gave me confidence that I needed, it kept me wrestling because I was on the verge of quitting, and it was a moment that I’ll never forget my entire life.

He was able to realize he “wasn’t even in high school yet and I’d discovered my voice. But I still needed a story to tell” , and through dissecting artists of that time he knew what story he had to tell. He did not want to preach about life on the streets, or life once escaping the streets, but rather the hustle that connected the two.

When I came back from summer and I entered my senior year I decided to do my senior project on coaching boxing because I like helping others and being around with kids or with my own age. I saw how my coach was training the students including me and I noticed that he cares for us and pushes us to not stop boxing, to keep doing our best, to get far in life, to be a good boxer, and it helps us to release our stress.

Screaming and running toward our fans from joy knowing that we were known as the 2A Soccer Champions. As I yanked the plaque from a teammate I glanced at the brown plaque carved deeply “2A Champions 2012”. Rising it up and same time showing the plaque to my mother, who saw this incredible soccer match, I knew that she was really proud of me. All the tough practices and sacrifice we, as a team, did pay it off on the soccer final match against our opponent the Dixon “Dukes”.

Becoming a wrestler changed my life. I’ve always been athletic, growing up I played football, baseball, and, before I wrestled, basketball. None of those sports, however, pushed me as hard, or taught me as much as wrestling.

When it comes to a sport that you like, you always want to try your best. But in this story Rocky dedicates his whole time and effort into his favorite sport which is boxing. Boxing to rocky was wasn't only fun loving sport to him it was also hard working and risks. After all his matches he was fully prepared for his all-time big match in his hometown in Philadelphia against the world wide champions.

I penetrated his gaze. I saw his fear. I focused my thoughts and all my energy to destroy his confidence and make his legs tremble in the ring. Once I was in the ropes, my entire focus was him. His trainer was nothing on my trainer, I had the best. His support was nothing on my support, I had my whole family, the local neighborhood and my girlfriend. This was my day. DingDing! I launched forward.

The world of wrestling has been a life time style passion. Not every girl can relate to wrestling like I do . The world of wrestling is an amazing activity of play.

My family history starts off with my grandfather from my mom’s side of the family. Rodolfo Silva Jr. was born on December 25, 1932. He was born in El Paso Texas, he has lived in El Paso all his life. The one world event that has happened in this life is the cell phone. This affected his life in a good way because now he doesn’t have to go and look for a payphone and he doesn’t have to carry change with him.

Because 3 years later we would fight again and I would beat him. I had also got my belt back by knocking out former champion George Foreman. Then a year later I would fight Frazier for the belt. But after a ruthless battle I am still able to hold onto my belt. A couple years later my record would be 55-2 but I had got to cocky and lost my belt to Leon Spinks, but I would win it back only after 7 months passing. And 1 year later I announce my retirement on June 27th, 1979. But in 1980 I came out of retirement to fight new heavyweight champion Larry Holmes. He had beat me in the 11th round with a knockout though. And 1 year later I decide to hang up the gloves for good with an overall record of 56-5. A while after my retirement I get diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. About ten years later I would carry the Olympic torch to the cauldron to mark the start of the 1991 summer Olympics. Then when I had finished doing the ceremony they gave me another gold medal to replace the one I threw in the river 36 years ago. Till this day I am home enjoying my time and still battling Parkinson's disease. Yet boxers till this day try and live up to the expectation of the

The first documented boxing match was in England in 1681. Since then boxing has been know to be a dangerous and violent sport, because so many people who do boxing can get injured really badly and can also get severe brain damage, but boxing is also watched and loved by thousands of people all round the
