Personal essay
I’m told that at sixteen, I should be too young to have regrets. However, I do not agree with this as I already have several. but what’s done is done. I think that any choice that you have made in the past it is up to you to be prepared to deal with the consequences of that decision, whether it has been a well thought out decision or just something as simple as being in the wrong place at the wrong time, both of which has happened to me. However, my biggest regret in life is giving up on my sporting career. I have never been a big fan of violence with no purpose but when I joined Thai boxing at the age of 6 I loved it and everything in my life came second best to the powerful sport, even my friends. It all started when I was 6/7. My favourite film at the time was ‘Kick Boxer’ starring Jean Claude Van Damme, this is what I think drew my attention to the sport. I think it was the fact that he was an ordinary every day man who then became powerful in order to overcome any obstacle or opponent with nothing but extreme dedication and heart. At one point this was everyone’s dream. All I wanted to do after this was join a Thai boxing club, that’s when I discovered Wossobamma gym. When I first started going I went twice a week; Tuesdays at 7:30 – 8:30 and Thursdays 6:30 – 7:30. As I was only 6 at the time half 8 was extremely late for me which resulted in me being absolutely exhausted as a result of this I usually fell asleep in the car on the way home. I followed this routine until I was 13(Not the sleeping part of course)! As I got older I started to grow out of it, one thing led to another and I left the classes to mainly focus on the gym. This was because I was feeling self-conscious about my body, after going for about 8 months I could see vast improvements and I was finally happy with my body size so I left in order to have more money for the weekends, as every teenager does.
The same story happened with football. I have always been a fan of
