Fencing.

Having a hobby is something everyone should have to entertain themselves in their free times. For me, Fencing is more of a passion, not a hobby, but still, I do it for fun in my free time, so it is a hobby. Fencing is a sport that works in combat between two people. Each fencing athlete has its own sword, which can be, épée, foil or saber. When my dad was 13 years old he went to his best friend’s house and saw a fencing sword, at that time he did not know anything about the sport, so his best friend told him that that sword belongs to his sister and he told him a little bit about the sport. Since that day, my dad loved the idea about fencing, so he joined a club. 5 years after that, when my dad was seventeen and a half, he made it to the Puerto Rican National Fencing Team. Now, my other 4 siblings do fencing and so do I. Fencing is a huge part of me, now that I’m in college I don’t have the opportunity to fence, but as soon as I get home I’m sure I will keep on fencing. I have traveled to different places because of fencing. I have met so many people through this sport and I’m eternally grateful for it. Doing fencing makes me so happy and it liberates me from stress. Therefore, fencing is my passion and I’m grateful that I have that sport in my life.
