I liked drawing in High School and I started watching competitions on TV. Instead of going to a gym, I just started doing aerobics in the mornings until I was able to afford to go to the gym.

I love the feeling I get when I push myself. I love how the voice in my head tells me "Stop! You can't do that! You'll never be able to do it!" and I tell it to "STFU! I just did!"

Also, I get amazing sleep after a good work out.
