We often see boys wrestle(摔跤). Not many girls like the sport. But things are changing.
In the US, more girls begin to wrestle. In the 2015 -16 season, 363 girls joined the IKWF. In the 2017-18 season, this number was up to 503. There is also a girls' wrestling championship(锦标赛)at the end of each year.
Many girls become interested in wrestling because their brothers wrestle. Yamilet Aguirre is a 12-year-old girl. She learned to wrestle because she was not happy to only watch her brother wrestle. " I can have fun doing it," she said. " And I can prove(证明)girls are also strong like boys." She won the girls' state wrestling championship this spring.
Some schools are going to have wrestling programs(项目). More girls can try the sport for themselves.

All these are your happiness. If you know some of them, you can see that happiness is always around you.
Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. You are poor, but you can also say you are very happy. Money is not everything. You have something else that money can't buy.
