Identity

Identity
I think that if you woke up in a different place and different time I think that you could end up a different person. Just because your survival sense kicks in, and I think that your Identity deals with the people that you are with every day and the place that you are form. it doesn’t necessary mean that you are going to be like them. But you usually become friends with people that are like you. It just makes it a lot easier for you to hang out with them because you and your friends are not always yelling at each other.

Integrity

I’m working to develop integrity. I believe, from what I know, that integrity means having self-pride and self-respect. Not only that but involving your self in a more healthy and honest lifestyle. By doing this you will begin to benefit and work your way to the top of the game. A person who has a lot of integrity is usually involved in a successful environment and has some positive influences in his life. Integrity is basically pride. Someone who doesn’t have a lot of integrity usually gives up and is comfortable where they stand in life. An example of no integrity is somebody who has to lie and cheat their way through life. All I know is there has got to be a better way, a good life.

Fight

So I fight for throwdown. Tonight is going to be one of the biggest fights for me. I am fighting a kid who is 18 years old and he has 11 pounds on me. I have a 34-inch reach and he has a 32 1/2 inch reach. So with my reach and his pounds it’s going to be a good fight for the both of us. I know a lot about the guy that I am going to be fighting like his name, age, weight and arm reach, but I have not yet seen him. So my trainer and I get to the fighting coliseum in salt lake. We check the roster my fight is the third one. I am really anxious to meet my opponent. I have 45 minutes before my fight and a guy walks up to me and tells me he will be fighting me tonight. My first thought was “this guy” I’m dead then I just replied back, lets make it entertaining. Our fight was up and the ref gave his little rule talk, Then the fight was on. I threw three punches to the face of my opponent then went for the body. As I went for my forth body shot, he threw a left hook and I was down. We scrambled around on the floor for a while. Then we got up, I threw two hits to the face and then a kick the back of his knee. He dropped and the fight ended with me putting my opponent in an arm bar and him tapping out.

Goals

“GOALS”
Setting goals is to make you work harder and accomplish something you really want. When you set goals it’s because you want to get something done. When you have goals and you look towards finishing them, the accomplishment is a good feeling. Like I have a goal to graduate high school, go to collage, and be something when I grow up. And I look towards that every day so when I accomplish that I will make new goals. Every one sets they’re own goals that they want. And everybody sets different goals different ways. So that’s my idea of goals just something you want bad and look forward to until you have it.

Goals

I set goals by seeing things that I want to do or things that will help me in my life. I write them down or just remember them in my head. I try everyday to get a little bit closer to my goal. A good goal is something that will help you and will be something positive in your life. You know that you met your goal when you have what you want or you feel good about where you are in life. No, it takes time and perseverance. The road to success will definitely be hard but if you are patient and take baby steps than eventually you’ll get there and be successful.

Scalping Tickets

Should scalping tickets be illegal? Yes and no, cause if the tickets are fake or bad it sucks for you. It is good too. It pays good and all that. If it is fake you get ripped off or you might get a bad seat or some thing like that. It is good to cause everyone gets paid and all that so. The end

8-20-08

I got the cops called on me for gang affiliation and they said that I told some kids that I was going to kill them. The cops pulled up beside me and told me to put my hands on my head and don’t move. The cops searched me and they did not find anything so the cop said since you did not have anything then we have no choice but to let you go. The cops took my foster brother and I to our foster home and we had to tell our foster mom what had happened. Then we got into a little trouble but nothing really happened. This is my journal entry that I chose.
