Getting Active Young

Started Karate when I was four

Started doing it for fun

My parents took me to become active and always

pushed me to do better

Good Instructors kept me going and loving Karate

Karate, Basketball, and Dance ages

Started becoming more active in these years

because I wanted to find what I loved best

Started Dancing with a few friends from school
loved it and became good friends with my
instructors

watching the sport and my father

1st Year in highschool

I became an instructor in Karate and taught it to

young children
Joined the freshman basketball team
Gave up dance because my instructor moved
away

2nd Year in Highschool

Gave up Karate because the time it consumed

began to kill me and I couldnt afford losing all

that time
Played Basketball again for the JV team

Third Year in Highschool

Tried out for basketball again but I broke my

ankle one of many times this year

Began to play video games with school friends
Couldnt do much since my ankle was broken

Senior Year in Highschool

My ankle is finally better but I dont try out for any

sport
My friends got me really involved in playing video
games
We began to play video games professionally and
I was gaining too much fat

Summer of 2014
My two best friends noticed that I was beginning

to get unhealthy and began taking me to the gym

I began going to the gym everyday
I lost most of my fat and began to gain muscle
Once I saw improvement I kept pushing myself
more and more to do better
