I had to do this Homework for school stating my biggest accomplishment in life, and I wrote about learning Martial arts and such, so I thought I'd post it here so you guys might learn a little about me.

In my life I have had many accomplishments. I have scored perfect attendance for 14 years, I have been in a rock band, I have made it into the best school in all of south Florida. All of these are things that I can proudly say that I have accomplished, but I must confess that my greatest accomplishment by far has been to become a skilled martial artist and gain the respect of my instructors.
As a little boy I was always pushed around and bullied by those bigger, meaner, and more strong than I was. I always tried to ignore it and not let it bother me, I never spoke a word of it to my parents for fear that they might get worried, until one day at the beginning of the 8th grade I was pushed too far, three guys in ganged up on me and decided to use me as a punching bag because I stood up for some girl that was apparently an outcast. After this incident I became filled with rage and anger, my father told me that getting angry and throwing my fists like crazy was not the way, so he put me in a Kenpo Karate class to learn to defend myself and to control my anger and channel it into chi (the energy that martial artists believe that fuels the body) After a few weeks in there I was a pretty good fighter, my instructors said I was a natural and that they pitied the fool who tried to piss me off. A few months later the same trio that had beaten me up at the beginning of the year were back for a little more action, but this time the outcome would be different.
The three of them were apparently cowards that used fear to paralyze their opponents and then just clobbered them, that was how I was defeated last time, but that day I was too determined to not be pushed around to be scared, so as they tried to get at me I just blocked their punches into a different direction and let gravity push them down, things eventually got tough so I decided to end it and silenced them with a punch to the stomach to each one of them. After this day I was never scared of being pushed around, I was always cheerful and ready to defeat whomever messed with others or myself, I have a terrible hate for bullies and big shots that tend to pick on weaker beings than themselves, it is very cowardly and if there is one in my sight I will not let him go unpunished.
This is my greatest accomplishment, to have become a student of martial arts and to have exorcised my fears out of myself, I think everyone who is being bullied should receive the same training that I have.
