This [blank_start]encouraged[blank_end] me to believe, achieve and succeed. I now have the self-determination and physical condition to [blank_start]attempt[blank_end] any mission necessary. My fitness levels are [blank_start]extremely[blank_end] high.

Finally from the age of thirteen I trained in mixed martial arts and [blank_start]attained[blank_end] a black belt, showing that I am skilled in safe self-preservation and combat.
