Mixed Martial Arts came to me during a very difficult period of my life: I would get picked on all throughout high-school, and I did not fair much better during my Freshman year of college, my family was shook with a load of debt due to some unethical behaviors from our condominium management, my ex had left me, and I was not doing well in school cause I had no clue as to what I wanted to do. There was a punching bag next to all of the standard gym equipment at the fitness center I used to go to. I kept hitting the bag till my knuckles were red to release frustration. My knuckles were very bruised, and I could not feel my hand for a few days. However, that was when I wanted to learn how to hit the bag without hurting myself. I started by listening to boxing tutorials online, and began to practice repeatedly. Slowly I was becoming more interested in other forms of martial arts, and eventually, I began receiving proper instructions from a mixed martial arts gym. I would train quite often, and it has been almost a year now since I have began that journey, with the hopes of competing in mixed martial arts bouts in the future. 

As for stock exchanges, this was an interest I always had, but could not pursue due to our financial debt. My family was able to get out that situation miraculously, and I was starting to understand the importance of having enough money. I began making a little bit as a instructor for Table Tennis over the summer, and parts of it would go into stocks I took interest in. I am not fully invested in stocks yet , as our financial situation is still not the greatest for me to further pursue. However, I have the goal to create a diverse portfolio, and continue to study trends and patterns in the hopes of understanding the stock market.
