08:AM MORNING
TODAY STARTED OFF AS AN AWESOME DAY. I WOKE UP AND RUSHED DOWN STAIRS TO SAY TO MY MOTHER. " MOM DID KNOW TODAY IS THE DAY , SCOUTS COME TO OUR SCHOOL LOOKING FOR NEW RECRUITS".
MOM: YES SWEETIE , YOU TOLD ME LIKE 10 TIMES ALREADY. AFTER THAT I WORE MY SCHOOL UNIFORM AND WENT TO SCHOOL.
AT SCHOOL ( DAY OF TRYOUTS)
IM SO PUMPED UP, I HAVE SO MUCH ADRENALINE. WHAT IF I GET TO THE GREATEST MMA AGENCY IN THE WORLD.I WAS SO EXCITED, I WAS SPEAKING GIBBERISH IN ENGLISH CLASS . SINCE I DON'T HAVE FRIENDS AT SCHOOL AND I ONLY LIVE WITH MY MOM. WE CAME TO AMERICA TEN YEARS AGO AND I HAD PASSION FOR MMA.MY LIFE IS JUST SIMPLE AND STRANGE.
IN SCIENCE CLASS
THE SCIENCE TEACHER SAID" STUDENTS AFTER CLASS ALL STUDENTS INTERESTED IN MMA, TRYOUTS ARE AT 15:00PM.
I WAS SO EXCITED AND SHOUTED IN CLASS.THE REASON I LOVE MMA , IS CAUSE IT'S THE ONLY WAY I CAN EXPRESS MYSELF.
SCIENCE Teacher:SHHHHHH! KEEP QUIET CLASS, CLASS IS OVER. GO TO THE GYM FOR TRYOUTS.
I WAS SO HAPPY I ALMOST PEED MYSELF.GYM 15:00
Time was up and I was ready until JAMES CAME.JAMES IS THE SCHOOL'S BULLY AND MOST ATHLETIC GUY EVER. HE HAS THE SAME DREAM AS ME. SOMETIMES I EVEN FEEL LIKE MY LIFE IS A MOVIE. JAMES SAID TO ME "GLENN THE SMALL SNAIL IS TRYING UP FOR MMA, SHAME YOUR NOT EVEN FIT". HE WASN'T LYING, I DON'T REALLY EXERCISE A LOT BUT AT LEAST I DO PUSH UPS. I SAID TO HIM " YEAH IM TRYING OUT AND I WILL GET SCOUTED ". "VERY FUNNY " HE SAID.
AFTER WE STOPPED ARGUING, A LEGEND WALKED IN THE ROOM, IT WAS THE ONE , THE ONLY , MIDDLEWEIGHT CHAMPION. DEREK ROLLINS. HE IS MY HERO, MY FAVOURITE FIGHTER SINCE I WAS A KID. HE WALKED IN THE GYM LIKE A LEGEND CAUSE HE IS.
MY EYES SHINED AND I WAS SO HONOURED. HE SAID : " STUDENTS DO YOU THINK , YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO BECOME A CHAMPION. EVERYONE SHOUTED "YES SIR " YES SIR". DEREK ROLLINS EXPLAINED TO US ABOUT ALL THE MMA BASICS.
THERE WERE ABOUT FIFTY BOYS IN THE GYM AND ONE GIRL.THE GIRL WASN'T THAT ATTRACTIVE, SHE WAS MUSCULAR. OH YEAH, I FORGOT TO EXPLAIN ONE MORE THING. I GET TOXIC SOMETIMES. IT'S BASICALLY MY WEAKNESS, BUT NEVERMIND THAT. OUR MMA TRIALS BEGAN IT WAS TIME TO SHOW EVERYONE WHAT I COULD DO.
18:00PM ( AFTER TRIALS DAY ONE)
I WAS TIRED FROM TRAINING, BUT WHEN I REACHED HOME. I KEPT ON TRAINING AND TRAINING. I COULDN'T LET THIS ONCE IN A LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY GO TO WASTE.
WHEN I FINALLY STOPPED, MY MOM CALLED ME FOR DINNER.SHE SAID "HONEY, I KNOW YOUR TRAINING AND ALL BUT YOU CAN'T MISS DINNER". I SAID "COMING MOM". I WAS NEARLY ABOUT TO FAINT WITH ALL THIS TRAINING.

COACH EMERSON: "THE LUCKY TEN PICKED STUDENTS WILL TRAVEL TO THE MMA HEADQUARTERS FIGHT ISLAND IN DUBLIN IRELAND. THE RULES ARE THERE CAN ALL BE FIVE FIGHTERS LEFT.WHO WILL BE ENROLLED TO MFA. IF YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES".
I QUICKLY WENT HOME AND TOLD MY MOTHER ALL ABOUT THE GOOD NEWS,SHE WAS SO SHOCKED. SHE ALMOST FAINTED. SHE DIDN'T AGREE AT FIRST, BUT THEN SHE OBVIOUSLY CRACKED. THE PICKED TEN WERE GOING TO DUBLIN IRELAND ON THE 1ST OF JUNE AND TODAY WAS THE 25TH OF MAY.
MY LAST DAYS AT AMERICA WEREN'T VERY GOOD. I REALISED I WAS GOING TO LEAVE MY MOM AND MY PET DOG.
