| I started taking karate because I liked to kick and punch. My parents knew it meant a lot more than that, and over the years I have realized it means a lot more, too. Karate has helped me to be self-disciplined. I have learned that if I want something I have to work hard for it. I have to be committed and dedicated to the goal. I also have to have the confidence to know that I can achieve any goals. I believe I knew this when Mr. Jones tied on my white belt when I was 3-1/2. I owe a lot to Mr. Jones, my parents and my grandparents for helping me achieve this goal and building my character, which determines who I will be as a person. | ||
