First Impressions

Ever been nervous your first time you’re trying something new. That you’ve practiced and trained for, but you were still nervous about the real thing? Right know, I'm experiencing that feeling more then anything. Sure, I've been trained in Mexico by the luchadors over the border, and sure, Anna, my girlfriend and also my partner in crime has taught me a few things, but I still feel so unready. Like I'm going to flop. This week I have a big challenge ahead of me. I have to get myself over for the first time, and also make a great first impression.

I woke up to Anna lying next to me, watching me sleep, and now waking up. She smiled, and carressed my face, obviously sensing my nervousness about this upcoming week. I could tell she knew something was up with my morale. She knew me oh too well.

:::Anna:::
"What's troubling you sweety?...And Don't tell me nothing is, I know that look when I see it. You're nervous or scared, one of the two."

:::Brooke:::
"It's this coming week. My first true match in an actually company. I think I'll flop. It's just me and tons of guys. I know i'm an easy target to them, being a female and all. I'm just...thinking I won't pull it off."

I knew that I'd be a target for everyone, being the weakest and definately the smallest. I knew Anna had faith in me, if only I had faith in myself. I never did have confidence in anything until she came along. She made me believe I was pretty, I'm pretty sure she'll tell me I'm capable of this too.

:::Anna:::
"Brooke, I know you better then possibly anyone else on this planet, hell, even in this universe. You'll do fine. You have more strength then you give yourself credit for. You've also got more strategy and speed than alot of them. Think of it this way. You're a female. You may be smaller, but you're more witty and smart then most men. That's always to your advantage. Keep that in mind.

:::Brooke:::
"You know, you're right. I'm just afraid of getting hurt. Compared to them I'm so delicate. I could break something...and don't even start that nail sarcasm. I'm just afraid my first match I'll be out permanently, something I don't want one bit. The thought alone scares me. I don't want to be immobilized or scared to get back in the ring."

:::Anna:::
"Brooke, you're not porcelain, sweety. If I could face guys when I was in the ring, you can too. Don't think that just because you're a woman you'll break more easily then them. They have no clue how strong you are. Even you don't know how strong you are. You're smart, and you are strong, you need to recognize that. Use it as your defense. It'll work. I promise everything will be alright. Don't doubt yourself and others won't doubt you."

I knew she was right. I was smart, and I was strong, I just never recognized it in myself. I was just as good as those men that I'll be facing. Just because I'm a whole different gender doesn't mean I don't have the upperhand. I can be just as successful as them. And I will be.

I had myself convinced I could pull this off. I'm a female, but I'm a strong, intelligent female. I've got JUST as much talent as those men, and I'll prove it to them all in the Battle Royal this Tuesday.
