I, Maggie Fitzgerald, are an established woman.
The people around me may be rushing to career, or getting married and having children, but I am the only one who has no hesitation in falling in love with boxing.
My idol, Mr. Frankie Dunn, was so brave and brave when he was young.
Although he is more than ancient and rare, he still stands upright on the coaching platform, guiding generation after generation.
However, he refused to accept female students.
I prayed to him again and again, but he was indifferent; I discussed with his friends to no avail.
However, I can't just give up, having decided to go anyway.
I know that although he has a will like steel, he does not have a heart like a rock. If I insist on it, he will probably always agree.
I stood in the corner practicing punching, watching the other students struggle with all their strength, and listening to the sound of Mr. Dunn’s indoctrination.
Yes, I hope that one day, that voice can belong to me.
"Your posture is wrong, you will hurt yourself."
It was a familiar voice, and looking back quickly, it turned out to be Mr. Du En's straight figure.
"I just remind you, and will not accept you as a disciple."
I smiled happily, showing the buck teeth that were once ridiculous.
It doesn't matter, as long as you are willing to talk to me, you can say anything.

As a woman, I don't have the power and talent of a man.
But this does not mean that I will give up passion and hard work.
Mr. Dunn still said not to accept women, but he always taught me in the boxing gym until late at night.
Perhaps, he already treats me as a daughter.
When my family heard that I was practicing boxing hard, instead of encouraging them, they were furious.
Of course, the comments made by the male students in the library cannot be obliterated.
But these are not important anymore! During the days I was with Mr. Dunn, I improved every day.
At first it was just a small increase in training, and then I tried to participate in the competition, who would have thought that I won one after another.
In the eyes of some people, I am still a lunatic; but in the local boxing world, I became the goddess of war.
As a reward, Mr. Dunn gave me a green shirt, but he refused to tell me what the letters meant.
Not to mention, when I am on the top of the world, he will always tell me.
I feel that I have done a lot of what I want, but it is certainly not limited to this.

"Maggie, the most important thing in boxing is to protect yourself."
I humbly accept all of Mr. Dunn’s words, but I have been disagreeing with this sentence alone.
Perhaps, he still cares about my gender, fearing that I will be devastated by the injury.
It is also possible that he cherishes me too much for fear of the slightest accident.
In fact, I never told him that this is not my style and style of play.
In every game, I always focus on the offense. Even if I accidentally get injured, I still clenched my teeth.
I always want to protect myself, but where does the offensive force come?
With one victory after another, my popularity has grown, and before I know it, I have become the second in the world.
Oh, by the way, the number one player in the world is called "Blue Bear", and she is my next and perhaps the last competitor.

Finally waited for the day to compete with the Blue Bears.
The audience was full of voices, and the audience cheered for me in unison: not my name, but the letters on the green shirt.
I couldn't help asking Mr. Dunn again, and he smiled and said, if you win the game, I'll tell you.
The moment I stood in the ring, I heard the coach's instructions again.
"Maggie, protect yourself."
The Blue Bear was much fiercer than I thought. The offensive was like a wave from the beginning, and I had to keep defending.
Gradually, I was able to come and go with the blue bear. I hurt her eyes and she broke the bridge of my nose.
Although I am at a disadvantage, I am still extremely confident.
Believe in yourself, and believe in Mr. Dunn even more.
He connected the bridge of my nose to me and deployed a strategy for me in a low voice.
At that moment, I firmly believed that I was about to break the myth that the blue bear was invincible.
I kept attacking the blue bear's buttocks. Faced with this style of play, she was gradually overwhelmed.
At the end of the third quarter, defeating the Blue Bear is like trying to get something.
I walked proudly to Mr. Dunn...
But I felt a fatal blow to the back of the neck, and my eyes went dark and I fainted.

When I woke up again, I was lying on the bed in the intensive care unit.
My family is greedy for my property, but Mr. Dunn has been sitting by my side to accompany me.
I have been looking forward to the day when I return to the game, but what I am waiting for is the sad news of high paraplegia.
I accept failure and bloodshed, but I cannot accept spending the rest of my life like this.
Others decide to end their lives in countless ways, but for me, there is only one way.
After several sleepless nights, I bit my tongue.
However, under the rescue of Mr. Dunn and the medical staff, I regained consciousness.
After several sleepless nights, I bit my tongue again.
This time, it was also unsuccessful.
I finally realized that suicide has even become an impossible dream for me.
And I, determined to die, had no choice but to ask Mr. Dunn.
I feel sorry for him. He only accepted me as a female disciple and caused such a big trouble.
Mr. Dunn, you have devoted all your efforts to me, can't you do me a favor at the end?
Not surprisingly, he refused.
Plead again.
Refusal again.
I don't know how long it took before Mr. Dunn finally agreed.
Thank you, Mr. Dunn, you are the only one who understands me.
Before dying, you brought that jersey again.
This time, you translated the above letters into English.
"My darling, my blood."
It's a pity, I still couldn't understand the smell, so you unplugged my oxygen tube.
This time, I was completely relieved.
Not as quiet and beautiful as autumn leaves in death, but as gorgeous as summer flowers in life.
If I start all over again, I will practice boxing and I will choose you to be my coach.
If I fail to return you in this life, wait for the next life...
But, promise me, in heaven, I want to see you later.
Yes, the later the better.
