As I stood there today, I could see it all.  I could see exactly where the ring will be, the shoes lined up against the wall,.. I could even see the boxers out on the balcony, relaxing after training.

This time in a year EVERYTHING will be different.

A sports bra will be my work uniform, with a t-shirt being optional.  I plan on drastically changing my looks, going for a bit of a bada$$ look with an extreme tattoo and half a head of cornrolls.

And, of course, abs will be just as big of a much needed part of my work gear as my sports bra. 

 I will finally be able to come into my own, to be the example that I want to be... to my "family".  I'm excited about extending my family and though I question what will become of my UP Boxing Club family, I'm trying to maintain forward, positive thinking.  I can't change how they think or react, I can't control that but I can change and control how I think and react.
