Ever since I was young, I have loved professional wrestling. I woke up every Saturday to 41 my favorite “superstars.” My peers would 42 me for following what was called a “man’s soap opera.” So, I put my 43 for wrestling on the shelf. Like everyone else, I wanted to be invited to the 44 and hang out with the popular kids. I became pretty successful. 45 my Friday evenings were busy with parties, I’d still wake up early on Saturdays to watch wrestling.
It wasn’t until freshman year that I 46 I wasn’t being myself. That year, I 47 many new things and activities. In my town, football was the popular sport, so I decided to play football, thinking it might give me a head start in popularity. But I didn’t do it well. That 48 taught me a lesson：I wasn’t a football player. More importantly, it 49 me to be myself. After that season, I went back to being a wrestling fan. I came across a quote:
“Don’t dream it. Be it.” When I 50 this, my friend Dan had the same 51 I had. “What if we build a wrestling ring(摔跤场)？” we asked. We acquired the necessary wood and equipment for its 52 .
The following weekend, we 53 in his backyard. We worked the whole day to build our great establishment. By Sunday night, our mission was 54 . We had a real 55 . We decided to hold an “event”. We improve our wrestling ability. We 56 for hours, trying to improve our wrestling ability. The date was May 24th. Our 57 had a start time of 9 p.m. To our surprise, about one hundred friends and fans showed up to 58 us. It was the most 59 night of my life and complete success.
We are now well known throughout school. When I walk down the halls, I’m 60 by my peers, who know I did something I believed in, despite what others said or thought.
