Boxing news
Team must say something
By Austin Smith
Boxing Coach
It was toe-little while ago that the
boxers put the 10-oz'ers on at the Bend
Armory. But man it's good to see them
doing something healthy whenever you
can, enit?
Who can say what to do when you're
already doing it. It's always better to
believe in yourself even if things don't
turn out the way you want. Sometimes
it's what we're up against that fails us
most. I personally don't understand why
I like boxing. I know why bullriders like
to play around with bulls, and why the
bulls try to hurt the riders.
But why does one man like to beat
the other man? Who knows? I like foot
ball and boxing and track and field and
music. I mostly like to witness a Na
tive nation come back from a hard
knock-down and to witness how they
get up to keep going on with life.
Feel the waves in the air? It's going
to be a better place to live once we
have built our own K-12 at least. Don't
give up, go for the win, get what you
want out of life, because this is our
body, we're the people who established
this nation.
It's those x's that defines our DNA.
I think our elders enjoy all the little ones
and the goings on at ECE. How'd you
like to enjoy that same thing right here
in town? But on a much bigger scale?
A high school with a packed gym this
evening, yes! The Madras White Buf
faloes vs. the Warm Springs Lands.
Someday it'll be true.
Yes, to have our own school will be
to have our own future and establish
your own goals and feed j our own cul
ture.
We need a lot around here. Right
now, I'm sure we could pull all of our
children out of school and just teach
them what we know and they'll learn
what they have and that would be bet
ter for their future. Right now all they
do is go to school, return back to a
non-social structure because that struc
ture is being destroyed before it even
stands up.
Education is important, but being
able to put it to use is our let-down. I
didn't go to Madras school system very
long and I think that's why things are
the way they are today for me and my
thoughts.
I've got nothing against a child's hap
piness until that child starts becoming
unhappy just for being who they are. I
say No. Let's not make do, I say. Let's
make a school for those who will some
day make a college as well as a future.
Jump high, run fast, move quick, score
if you can and dont be afraid to shoot.
Hope everyone wins, but you have to
honestly defeat someone to do that. So
please remember who lost to you and
how good their defeat gave you to the
feeling of winning. Happiness to a hu
man being is very little, but it can sure
fill up the hearts of their peers.
How about: Today vs. Then. For in
stance, in the year 2004, Today wins
by the score of No School for Warm
Springs. Then we'll win by the future.
Make sense? I guess I'm sorta off the
boxing news. Yet I'm sure that my cor
ner advice will come in handy, because
I know what if feels like to be the subject.
Expect the best - don't settle for less!
