One touch at a time

Fencing was my PE subject during my second semester in UP being a freshman. It was a fun PE class because we were the first ever class to have fencing back and being thought by a alumni varsity fencer in UP is something worth appealing to.

During that time I thought about continuing this PE subject into something more serious but I kept on pushing it back because I had Tennis then but after what happened to me in the organization. It was the last push to put me into Fencing. I love Tennis and if I can I would continue on but the emotional turmoil I was experiencing with the org was a bit too much for me to handle. Leaving was the only way. I could have entered to another sports or an outside Tennis club but I don't have the means and entering another org will be tedious and I have no interest anymore in joining other organizations.

It sounds like I used Fencing as an escape route.

I did.

Though it was fun because Fencing is an aggressive sport and I used that aggression against the guy in my disposal but its not a wise move. Fencing is a sport where you have to control your emotions and be calm and think.

I started as a PE student and now a trainee in the UP Fencing Team.

I have to admit at first I wanted to give up on the sport. Why? I thought I was not cut out for the sport and that I may never be. But with a little push and a lot of training, I may have a chance at being part of something I never thought I could ever get in my life.

Now that I am nearing my first year in playing Fencing and I have to say I have learned a lot and gained new friends.

From being an escape route to being a real thing. Life really is weird. Or its just me.

I tried to perfect it. I really did. :D
