| When I first started karate, I had also just started middle school in a different area, because I had just moved. Everything was new to me and I didn’t know anyone at school. When I started karate, I made friends right from the start. It also helped my self-confidence. I started becoming a better person than I was before, and made many friends. I owe this all to my karate teacher, Mr. Jones, and my family, who always support me. Getting my Black Belt, to me, means that I’m improving myself. It shows that I put all of my time and sacrificed some of my time for other things to earn it. It means that I have persevered and never quit on it, even when I felt like there was no time for it. When I get my Black Belt, I know that it shows that I have not stopped learning. I hope to continue learning and keep on doing karate. My Black Belt is just one small step in my life, but that one step shows that I can take millions more. | ||
