COLLEGE OR PRO WRESTLING SCHOOL?

Hello My name is Moe Mentum or my actually name is none of your business and I'm currently enrolled in high school as we speak.

I have 7 days until graduation and while most high school seniors are dreaming about going to U of M, Miami, North Carolina and whatever other colleges there are out there. I'm dreaming about going to a different type of school. I'm dreaming of going to the Monster Factory, Killer Kowalski's, or going to train with the local trainer in my area.

I don't want to be a doctor, or a teacher like my friends. I don't want to sit in a cubicle why my boss complains about the pathetic job I'm doing. I want to be blasted with chairs, I want to take bumps in the ring, I want to cut promo's. What I want to do is become a pro wrestler.

From the time I was little I was in love with pro wrestling. My fascination with it faded there for a little bit, but as people like the New Age Outlaws and the nWo was in there hey day I made my way back in a big way, becoming more obsessed with pro wrestling then I've ever been before.

I've told my parents now for a good two years that I want to be a pro wrestler. They had the usual rhetoric from my dad saying "All those people are con-artist's in pro wrestling". My mom acts as if I've never said anything and keeps asking me about when I'm going to register to go to college. My dad's even claimed that he'll pay someone just to kick my ass so I'll never ever aspire to become a pro wrestler ever again. That's how much my parentst are against it.

However there not the only one's in my immediate circle of friends who ridicule me and make a joke out of my dream. My friend Maria says "No one even likes wrestling anymore", my friends who are guys claim "You'll never even move out of your parents basement. Not to mention at almost every family function my grandparents and uncles make a joke out of my chosen profession.

What they don't understand though this is what I want to do with my life, and those callous comments aren't going to stop me from living my life how I want to live it, or is it?

I have three months to decide what I want to do with my life and three months only. By this time in late August either I'll be sitting in a college classroom, or on my way to a Pro Wrestling school. Share my descision making process as I make the life changing choice of my life. Hopefully I'll make the right descision.
