To me, a Black Belt means that I will be one step closer to my perfect manners and respect. Getting a Black Belt will give me more confidence and I will have reached one of my main goals. I will be like my brother and dad. This will be my sixth year of karate; I will have reached my goal at 10 years old through perseverance and hard work. Also, I will be setting a good example for all of the other belts. I will be able to look back and say that I got my Black Belt. I will be able to defend myself in the real world. I will know that I have made a great accomplishment when I am standing next to the other Black Belts. I will be an overall better person!

Andrew’s smile is as big as the accomplishment he fulfilled today.
His respect and manners are outstanding, what more can I say?

With brothers and Marion and Jerry cheering on their young lad …
Today Andrew became a Black Belt like his brother and his dad.

Andrew’s flexibility and that crazy thing he does with his hand…
Are just two of the reasons I’m one of his biggest fans!

He loves Mom’s pizza, chocolate mousse and steaks …
With his great perseverance, in life he’ll make his own breaks.

Andrew, you and your family are very special to me.
Your life will be awesome, just you wait and see!
