weekend recap

went to the kick-a-thon on Saturday. After lunch i was back at the dojang for Jr Instructor camp. I led a session on leadership. The kids were split into groups and given a scenario card that outlined a challenge they may face as a junior instructor. They had 15 minutes to discuss and then act out a solution. Every group did awesome, and the skits were really fun to watch. The number one thing all of us can do as in the dojang is to lead by example. It was a great weekend. I took a four-hour nap when I got home from camp on Sunday. It was rough trying to sleep on the mat! But getting to watch Grand Master Evins learn the TKD aerobics routine was worth the lack of sleep. Of course he aced it - good job sir! P.S. - I just turned in my final essay, and it felt good
