A Portrait of My Life in Words

       Hello my name is Rachel Rodriguez. I moved to College Station two years ago. I was a junior in High School when I moved. My oldest brother angel has been taking care of me since then. I graduated from College Station High School in May.
       I was born and raised in Mission Texas. I am into boxing. I have four brothers and I was growing up they were all in boxing. My uncle had a boxing gym and he was their coach. My brothers would fight in tournaments and I would always go with them to watch them fight. As they grew older they got tired of going to the gym. So my dad came of with the idea of making a boxing gym at home. We lived in the middle of the city so there was a lot of people that would pass through my house. We also had an acre of land so it was pretty big. Soon after a month or two the boxing ring was built and set outside our house. The boxing bags were hung on the trees, we had boxing gloves, jump ropes for kids to use and all the equipment we needed. I was a 6th grader when all this was happening. My brothers and dad encouraged me to learn boxing and I didn't want to but, so many people were going and it looked so fun that I encouraged myself to start exercising as well. Boxing has been in my family since I was small that's why it matters so much to me.
      I am studying to be an Athletic Trainer. To reach my goal I am going to study hard in school and I will not give up. I hope my brother and sister in law are there for me in the future because, they have pushed me through school.  I really think if it wasn't for there support I would not be here at Blinn College. I also hope my parents and brothers are there because I grew up doing things they liked and that's why I now love to exercise. People that are in boxing know that there is a lot of exercise to be done. I would exercise so much. On our boxing club shirt we had on the back "NO PAIN NO GAIN" and that has stayed with me since then. I just know that all this school I am doing to become an Athletic Trainer at the end of these four years it will all be worth it because I will be doing something I love.

    I hope you get to accomplish your life goals and keep pushing until you have reached it. Just by reading your essay I learned some things about you and it was very interesting.

    I've had several students who were boxers, and, through their stories, I have a huge respect for the sport. Good on you. I'm glad to know you are both a serious athlete and also you will NOT be punked. Keep it up.

Fall semester at Blinn

           My Blinn Fall semester of 2017 was great it was everything I thought it was going to be. The things that went well is that most of my instructors were pretty nice I also had friends to show me around and get to know Blinn.   What didn’t go well is that I dropped a class because I was too stressed I had two jobs and full time at blinn! I succeeded in my math class because I love math its just so easy for me I also loved that I had so much free time I have to be in one class for so long. I failed in my art history class. That was the class I dropped. You might think how could she drop that class if art is easy? Well not for me I hate it and I strongly dislike history too so once you put those two together it’s a disaster. I know I could have probably done better and actually tried and passed but I didn’t so that didn’t go so well. I loved that most of my teachers they were pretty lineant with homework. Sometimes having to ma...

     One of my favorite artists is Kirko Bangz. I love almost all his music, I can connect to it emotionally  of it all his music connects to people emotionally everything he says in my eyes is real.              For example   Kirko Bangz Ft. Paul Wall - My Life  e   "   [Official Music Video] "       When he says " Im superman to the young man"  it uses a metaphor. He doesn't really mean he's superman it means the young man looks up too him.     Another artist I relate to is "  Nipsey Hussle - State of Mind ft. Y2 "    When he says " two loose lips will sink a ship or break a levi like new orleans"  it uses a simile by comparing the two sentences. So basically what he means is the if you go out telling your business or talking about other people it will come back to you with so many bad things. " Break a levi like new orlean...
