I Told My Brother Not to Abuse His Skills in Kickboxing

My brother just enrolled himself in kickboxing classes a few days ago. Now he can’t stop talking about it. He hasn’t even learned that much yet but he’s already came up with a lot of scenarios in his head where he’s going to make good use of the lessons he learned in his kickboxing classes. He recalled how bullied he was during his school days. He said he wished he knew kickboxing back then so he can get back at those kids. I thought it was silly of him to want to get back at them like that. It made him sound childish, so I told him to just forget about it. He said I was right and he e was going to use it for future bullies instead. Again, it sounded like he was going to use his kickboxing skills because he wanted to beat up other people. I scolded him and told him it doesn’t have to be like that. He can use kickboxing as a way for him to release frustration. If it’s really necessary then he can only use kickboxing for self-defense.

Again, he sighed because I didn’t fully support his fantasies. I was curious about his kickboxing so I asked him what it exactly was. He told me that it’s another kind of boxing. If the regular type of boxing only involves punching, kickboxing involves kicking and punching. Knowing that gave me more reason not to encourage my brother to use kickboxing unless it’s really necessary. He felt disappointed knowing he might never get to use his kickboxing moves in real life. I felt sad too but I had to if it means keeping him safe. It might sound bad now but he’ll thank me in the future for not encouraging him to be violent using his kickboxing skills.

My Sister Loves Leupold GX-1

My sister is weird because she really loves the Leupold GX-1 that my mom gave to her. This equipment has been something she has been wanting because all of her friends have it. Also, it’s a a great piece of equipment to have during golf sessions. Now that I have come to think about it, I realized that my mom has always been there to give us nice gifts during the special events of our lives. I just think my mom is really awesome because she always does the small stuff that makes us feel special.

I do not know with her but it is probably because she grew up in a very poor environments. They were not rich and she had to work while studying in order to support herself and her family. Despite that, she remained to be a strong woman. She is a strong woman because she is able to survive a lot of problems and challenges in life. Indeed, life is hard but my mom is way harder than it I see her as a source of inspiration. Someday, I just want to be like her and I’ll raise my kids with love.
