In my life there was one thing that I always remember, this memory was when my parents signed me up for a karate class when I was about 6 years old which was ten years ago. It surprises me that I remember this but still it’s one of the many. But when I remember this it makes me feel like a little kid because this was when I made up my mind that I wanted to do karate and become a black belt in karate. So I pursue this dream and was very successful although I failed my first written test but by that time I was 13 and it was so close I could practically feel it so I got back up on my feet and went for yet again and came out with a 89!!!!! Now I teach and instruct some classes although I haven’t attend a class in 2 and a half years due to an injury in the 8th grade I still visit every once and a while.
