(Me and my father)

I am an ordinary boy, looking at this extrodinary world.
Complex, but adventurous.
I
do believe everything we do is possible
nothing is impossible.
What is at the top of the mountain?
like a myth
Unexplored, but exciting.

I would jump down a cliff to just explore the bottom of it
I would also fly a jet out of the atmosphere to see the outer space
I am not crazy
but an ordinary boy
trying to reach to the Ultimate
To open up the possibility of this complex world.
(me and Jet Li at the age of 9)
When I was 5 years old, watching TV such as Ninja Turtles and Power Ranger, also some old Kungfu Movies,
I would always want to climb into the TV box and fight with all those characters.
It was that eager which brought me into the martial art world.
I want to beat everyone and everything.

However, there was always a struggle between me and the martial art.
I love kungfu at the young age, but as I progress I lost interest in the art.
There was a gap of 8 years without martial arts. I thought I got rid of it.

Until the day I saw my friend doing Wushu in school, but he was picked by people who does other types of martial arts such as TKD and Karate. There was this Chinese Martial Art Discrimination.

The rage burns in me. Kungfu came back to me. I realized.
It was who I am and kungfu was me.

Now in the North America. I have been to various Open Competition. Which gives me a chance to show Chinese Martial Arts to the western world and compete against the western martial arts. I trained hard and worked hard. I have walked all this way till now to prove that I am the one and only person that will shine Kungfu in the western world.
I won various grandchampions either in North America and the World.

I am always improving, each day, each minute, and each second. I wanted to be better than anyone else either externally or internally. By proving that
I use the competition floor to show my destiny.

I am not anyone special, I am just like everyone else.
But what makes this so special is how I put my life into an art that will grant me my goal and childhood dream into reality.
(I break stuff in Stanford :D!)
I need to realize my dream and promote the art that made me who I am now.
