I have always had an attitude of a leader. In sixth grade I was apart of student council up until 7th grade. Towards the end of my seventh grade year I applied to be in NJHS or National Junior Honor Society and in May I was inducted.

Anyone can do boxing and I have seen a lot of people join boxing, but most…

We said goodbye to warm,…
