Carlos A Gaytan

My hero’s journey has started I want to do something for myself and for everybody. This journey is about me because I don’t know any hero’s and the ones in the movies don’t always tell the whole truth. I have not completed my hero’s journey because even though it has started it probably will never end. Because there will always be people that need an inspiration to move them or to touch their hearts so they can do something. I know that I will become champ and I will have everything I dreamed of.

My calling was when my sophomore year ended I had received alot of applications to go to the olympics for boxing. But just like I cannot go to college I can not go to the olympics. It made me feel that I am the best because of all the people in the United States they chose me to represent the United States. Although I cannot go it was an honor to just be asked. I had alot of times to take a job that I would be making good money and I would be safe, but It really wasn't what I want to do for the rest of my life. Now many people think that boxing is a brainless sport but I think it is the artist that makes the art such as Picasso or Hugh Hefnor. I had to decide if I wanted to take a chance to get my brains beat in and probably die in the struggle to become champ. Or should I choose a job that would not make a difference to anybody.I am going to move to alot of places to do my thing like to California and hopefully someday in New York at the Yankee Stadium.

I was in a place that I have been to but not recently. I had people doubting me telling me that I can't do it that not everybody can do it and that I am the person who cant. I was told that by people that didn't like me but being told that by my own friends and family I have never been before. I have more than one person helping me on my way up to the top my dad helps with paying for my equipment my cousins help with cheering me on at every one of my fights. And my mother even though she doesn't like my dream, she helps me by giving me the blessing of god. It would have to be a very great quest and I hopes it turns me into a great man. I really don't want it to turn me into a man like my father.

When I am done with my quest I will die a very happy man because I know that I made a difference in the world. With my success of winning the Light-heavyweight crown and hopefully adding the Heavyweight crown to my collection. I hope to give the kids all around the world hope that no matter who you are and no matter who tells you otherwise that you can do anything you put your mind to. I also want to help some of the homeless people but in a special way if they will ask me for money I will take them to get a haircut and a new suit and start them off with 500 dollars to go get a job and find me in the future and tell me how they did.

I talked about me in this paper because I hope to be an inspiration to all people not to just kids. I think I completed a Hero's Journey but not the Hero's Journey because people will always need a hero and when my time comes I will not be that hero anymore.
