Wrestling has been an important part of my life. I have been wrestling since I was five years old. It has kept me close with my parents and my brothers. My dad was my first wrestling coach and my mom is my biggest fan. My family has spent lots of time together going to local and out of state tournaments and it has helped us form a strong bond. Being a wrestler has helped me to deal with daily pressures and to stay healthy and fit. Wrestling has also given me a goal to work towards each year and it has motivated me to better myself physically and mentally over the years. As I move on to college I would like to continue my wrestling career while working on new goals and forming new relationships.
