"From starting in kindergarten to becoming a black belt when I’m 12 is phenomenal. This was one of my greatest accomplishments of my life. I owe it all to my mom. In the final years I wasn't sure I wanted to continue, especially with the test coming near, but she pushed me to do it, and I've never felt more proud of myself. This was something to never forget. My master told me you never forget the day you earn your black belt. He was sure right!"
