Journal for Thursday

 

Hello King Tiger Family! It is Sparring day. Honestly, I can't wait because sparring is literally using your strength , power, and techniques to defeat an opponent. I went school today and I did what every ninth grader does at school: take notes, do the classwork, have fun, try to finish the homework at school, all that stuff. After that, I went to taekwondo. Every time when my car gets stuck in traffic, my dad says it is because of people coming back from work. I, on the other hand, think, "If they are coming back from work, shouldn't they be cruising down the I-77 highway instead being slow?" Like even a grandma in her 90s can walk faster than the cars in traffic. Because of the traffic, I came late and missed my volunteering hours for High Belt Class. I took the Family and Sparring class. During Sparring, I always think of finally being able to beat someone. But, if you keep on dreaming about something you will never achieve it. You should work hard and strive hard for it. And so I do and I never gave up.

Good Day...
