I love to try new things but I somehow always find myself giving up on them. For example, when I was eight, I went through a phase where I really wanted to join karate. So I convinced my mom to immediately sign me up for a class. Everything was going really well in the first three weeks. But after a month, it started going downhill. I started dreading classes, I thought my teacher was the worst, and I even tried to skip a few classes. I told my mom that I was having a horrible time and that I didn't want to take karate classes anymore. To this day, I honestly wish I hadn't done that. If I could've been slightly more positive about the those karate classes, I would probably still be taking it today.
If you're like me, you can kind of relate
to this type of situation. I always enjoy starting new things, but after a while they can become kind of boring. I've always hated that about myself. I can never get to fully accomplish something because it eventually becomes too uniform. So far, I've been in dance, gymnastics, soccer, track, and even chess club. My point is, no one should give up because things seem to be getting boring or even difficult. It's better to know a little bit of everything and to have a passion for something. I truly regret not finishing those karate classes. Who knows, I could've turned out to be really good.

We all know that staying safe will keep us alive, but it is a boring way to live. The biggest regret a person can have is never trying what they always wanted. As mentioned before, time never stops, so it is crucial that they act now. We fight a battle before we are even born against millions of others to see who will get to the egg first and be fertilized and born. We did not come to this world to just be safe and to be afraid to do new things. We all have a reason to be here and the journey of life is to find our purpose in life. It is what makes life so great, but to get their we must take risks and overcome that fear. People are afraid of taking risks because of failure. They are afraid to fail and not get anywhere. However, that fear can be overcome is they keep pushing and keep trying and keep taking risks. Taking risks will get a person out of their “safe” comfort zones and the result of this can be something so
I believe that cheerleaders are a key element. The missing puzzle piece that fully completes a high school. Though many may ponder of the stereotypical affluent blonde with an egotistical aura, those should be informed that they aren’t even half-way correct. Cheerleaders are much more than how they appear in Hollywood movies or on daily TV dramas. I believe that cheerleaders are crucial, and work very hard to bring smiles onto people’s faces.
More than 45 plus United States Athletic or Boxing Commissions have agreed to regulate and allow Mixed Martial Arts in their states. While the sport continues to explode and the enthusiasm seems to know no limits, regulation has added much needed rules and guidelines to ensure the safety of the participants and spectators.

Most states govern under the standard rules of mixed martial arts used in states such as Nevada and New Jersey.

What I am slowly coming to learn and accept is the concept that failure and not knowing is okay because finding out what one will thrive in, is a process that has peaks and valleys but ultimately you have learned something from each of those. Neil Gaiman talks of a concept of “making great art,” and many would define great art as the “Mona Lisa” by Leonardo Da Vinci or “Moonlight Sonata” by Beethoven, however, I think Gaiman ultimately means make and do what you enjoy most because what you enjoy most will, in time, produce success. What is most genuine, what frightens you most and entices a feeling of both fear and adrenaline, what exposes you

The gym where I train and workout, the Dubuque Martial Arts Group, is a place where I know who I am. It is a place I can go to escape my problems for a while and release some stress.
