Its funny how life works... I started boxing 6 months ago, although I've wanted to be a boxer my whole life. It takes huge life change sometimes to get you to finally do the things you want and not worry about what other people think. Growing up, girls didn't box or work on cars or take shop class, at least not in my neighborhood. I was such a tomboy, but a loner as well. You could always find me on the top branch of a tree reading a book. Now, boxing is my passion, almost an obsession. I don't think its an escape from all the other BS going on in my life, I feel better physically than I ever have. My coach says I have real potential for the ring and has me stepped up in my training. Of course, now everyone realizes that I'm serious about it and they've stopped humoring me and are instead freaking out that I want to be someone elses "Punchingbag". I don't intend to be anyone's punching bag, THAT is the whole point of this!!! If I can take a punch, then I can give it back as well. Its a SPORT, not a street brawl!
