Getting Mentees Ready for Testing

After going to the gym this morning, I went to the dentist for my annual check-up.   This afternoon, I visited a couple of car dealerships with my niece, who's beginning her junior year in college in 2 weeks.  Tonight, in our regular class, I was able to snag some much-sought-after leadership credit and class assistance.  We are conducting testing on 7/30/2026, so I was able to help a couple of students with their poomsaes, board-breaking kicks and self-defenses.
