“The fighter in your work may not be a professional fighter, bodyguard, law enforcement officer, or soldier.”
These are the words left to me by my grandfather. Words left unfinished and without meaning, but I have made of them a purpose. I was never a fighter, he knew that. I was the scrawny kid with glasses. My bullies used my ponytail to pull me to the ground, so I cut it off. I changed myself and built upon my grandfather’s words. My fighter isn’t professional. It doesn’t care about laws or winning wars. My fighter protects the little guy like me. I built it. Using the most advanced technologies and child-like imagination–yes, it can fly–I’ll be able to beat more than bullies. My fighter is my work and no one is going to pull me down again because of it.
I am the queen of science and my fighter is my champion. And, we’ll fight to make my grandfather proud.
