Scholarship / NTU Scholarship Essay - 'What My Wushu Coach Has Taught Me' [5]

Describe, in less than 300 words, a short essay on a subject of personal importance to you. You may choose any topic. Examples include: an event which has influenced you or a family member/friend/person who had a significant influence on you.

The person who inspires me the most is my wushu coach. He has such a great impact on my life that he eventually changes the way i look upon life. I used to be a quitter who easily gave up on things that seemed futile. I thought i was just being realistic. But my wushu coach could show me that we could go beyond our own limit and turn impossibilities to possibilities.

My wushu coach is a 29-year-old guy who is originally from Xiamen, China. He is one of those Shaolin-trained athletes which are well known for their tough training. I have been being trained by this amazing man for nearly 8 years now. He is also the one who brings me to the regional and national champion title.

Right from the moment he started teaching, he used his Shaolin techniques that no ordinary coach had ever used. It definitely felt like hell. I used to keep wanting to withdraw myself from his strenuous training. But he was the one who kept pushing me to never stop learning and trying the new moves. Despite me being so afraid of him, i half-heartedly agreed to keep attending trainings.

As days gone by, now i feel that i am much stronger than i used to be. I am no longer a pessimist. I can feel the benefits from obeying the rules my coach has made. He ever told me once that athletes tend to have different point of view in facing obstacles. We will not easily quit like normal people will. Thus, i am sure that these qualities and backgrounds i have could support me to reach my dreams in NTU.
