When most little girls wanted to be Cinderella or Sleeping Beauty, my little girl wanted to be Simba. (She HATES it when I tell people this.) The point that I want to make is that my Mandy has never wanted to be saved- she wanted to save others!:) I am not surprised that she has selected karate to be her sport of choice....
The other night she tested for her Green Belt with 1 Brown Tip. She excelled in forms, sparring, and defense moves, but the board breaking at the end of the test was in question. Well, I am here to tell you that she DID IT- on the FIRST try! Great job, Awesome Amanda! We are SO very proud of you...
Watching your child feel the thrill of accomplishment is the most amazing experience.:)
