Why you should sponsor me for your next influencer campaign?

 I am a 3rd degree black belt in taekwondo along with being a 1st degree black belt in hapkido, making me well versed in the sport of fighting. Being in taekwondo for 10 years has taught me many things, such as the true meaning of grit, determination, and hardwork. I suffered an almost career-ending injury just as I was about to make my competitive debut in the September of 2015. I persisted through the injury and became the grand champion of the tournament. However, this injury continued to plague me for the next year to the point that I re-injured myself in September 2016. I went through 3 months of intense physical therapy and was back training for my first national competition while also achieving the accomplishment of becoming a 2-time state champion. Flash forward 6 months, I am the now the current 2nd place medalist in the AAU Taekwondo association for my age and weight division, fighting through the pain and adversity it took to earn that medal. Although a tough competition, I know that I can give it all I have and win gold next year. However, between being a full-time student and training schedules, I have a hard time collecting funds to pay for the expenses needed to travel again. Being granted a sponsorship would not only help to prove the fact that persistent effort creates success, but it would also put me in the position to inspire others to pursue their dreams, no matter how far or how difficult they seem.
