The topic that Interest me and captivates most of my time is wrestling. Whether it is watching Olympic level matches down to competing and practicing; I love letting it consume all my time. I watch daily matches in my free time and if anyone ever wants to wrestle and practice I am there. The reason I love wrestling and spend most of my time involved with some form of it is because I think that wrestling, as a sport, is amazing and very beautiful. I think it is an art form that many people do not recognize. Wrestling has many little aspects that make it entertaining that some may not find interesting but I find it exciting and wondrous.

From the time that I could walk I had sports on my mind, walking around with a little baseball and bat or even a football. But as I grew up I found out there are even better sports than just your basic everyday high school events. The first one I seen was snocross, racing snowmobiles at high speeds with only one thing on your mind and that is to win. Soon after though came the introduction to the X-Games and it became my childhood dream to perform there with everyone screaming my name.
Bullfighting has been a tradition passed along for many years. It is a sport of baiting and killing bulls spectated by the public in an outdoor arena. But how exactly did Bullfighting begin? Bullfighting originated when the first bullfight was held in honor of King Alfonso VIII's coronation in 1133. It was called a corrida back then. These events eventually became popular for celebrating important events and to test the zeal of noblemen. The bullfight first seen at the coronation in 1133 was popularized in 1726 when Francisco Romero started using a cape and weapons during the event. Some older paintings imply that some type of bullfighting existed before 1133. A wall painting in Crete that dates to 2000 B.C. shows men and women grabbing a bull
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to rise to fame overnight? Shawn Mendes posted a six second video on the app vine in 2013, and woke up the next morning with over ten thousand followers (Biography). But many people don’t know why or how he became as popular and well known as he is now. “It was a mix of hard work and good luck” said Mendes (Hernandez). It didn’t take Shawn very long to be discovered by Andrew Gertler; Shawn's current manager, who then showed it to Island Records, who later signed Shawn in early 2014 (Biography). I chose this topic because I find it very interesting how Shawn grew to fame overnight.

Wrestling is more than just a sport; it is a way of life. And for those who enjoy its opportunities, it is something that takes the mind off of all of life’s troubling times, and puts one man against another to get their hand raised. Competition makes everything evolve, and there is no other sport that epitomizes what competition truly is. Wrestling spans the entire globe, and although it incorporates several different styles and many National and World events, remains overlooked by most.
Conor Mcgregor and his friend were in a mall in Dublin, Ireland. While at the mall they stopped at a bookstore to look at some MMA magazines. One of the magazines had Floyd Mayweather on the front page. “Wow” Mcgregor said. “Look at him he is the face of boxing. He’s on top of the world.” Mcgregor was visualizing himself in Floyds position. Mcgregor didn’t have it easy growing up living in the poor middle class and getting bullied in school. The fighting first started off as defense for Conor but, after he started taking interest in fighting and it became all he knew. While Conor wanted to pursue his dreams in the MMA he had to be realistic and look for a real job. So he was working on becoming a plumber. Even though he was about to become
Wrestling is a huge physical challenge to me. It is the oldest sport known to man. It was one of the original olympics games. It is my favorite sport for a variety of reasons.
Theatre. That is the activity that I think of when one asks me what has impacted my life. Theatre is one of the most riveting and demanding interests of mine. From the first moment I stepped on stage, I knew this was the place for me. Musical theatre consists of three major parts--acting, dancing, and singing; which are difficult skills to master, even if you are naturally gifted. You have to memorize lines, choreography, and music notes, all of which are performed at the same time. Rehearsal is a challenging workout that leaves you exhausted! Musical theatre is rigorous; from auditions, to rehearsals, to shows, you are constantly seeking to improve your skills. As one of my directors ' loves to say, "If you feel that your performance was perfect,
The culture of gymnastics pushes gymnasts to achieve perfection at any moment and at all costs. Even if that costs is spending less time with family and friends. Many gymnasts start to part with their families because they spend all their time training. “Some serious gymnasts opt to leave school to pursue gymnastics. This decision can have major effects on a child's education and future career prospects” (Ryan). [Joan Ryan is a professional sports writer.] Becoming an elite gymnast takes an incredible amount to physical and mental strength and time. Many gymnasts struggle with the concept of isolation with families and friends because those are the people who have pushed them and made them into who they are today. In such a team sport, even

As I have matured into the girl that I am today, I have grown in and out of many interests. When I was around the age of eleven I was obsessed with sports. I was outside every day during the summer playing anything from basketball, to hockey. I was captivated by the competitiveness, and I loved to win. Around the age of thirteen I became interested with makeup and other really boring, girly stuff. However, the one interest that has shaped me into the person I am today is my love and appreciation for music.
Background, identity, interest, and talent are fundamental in who I am as a person. If for some reason I wasn't allowed to include one of these topics, I would feel as if I was missing a major part of who I am. Most topics given are intelligent and challenging to write about, however I believe through the process students start to lack true personal touch and genuine passion. Yes all of the topics require talking about oneself, but students write what they think their readers want to hear. I hope to stay true to myself regardless of the topic. These days it might be cliche to say this, but it's the most simple way to describe my feeling. I am passionate about creativity and life experience in general. Right now you might raise your eyebrows and think to yourself that that's not
