Second Degree Black Belt

Goodbyes are never welcomed. 

You feel happy for the person who is moving on to bigger and better things in life, but you feel as if they've let you down in some way because you won't get to learn from this person. You won't continue to see the goodness in their heart or the way that person makes you feel when they tell you how awesome you are at sparring or how great you are just because your you.  

"He said that I'm a good at sparring and that he said that everyone else he would tell them they needed to change or correct one thing, but for me, he said that there was nothing I needed to correct or work on."  I could see the excitement spewing out of Zachary's mouth as he was trying to get the words out.  Slow down, I always tell him. This doesn't come easy from a boy who is now 11 years old and sees all the wonders of this world and can't quite put them into words fast enough to hold the listener.  Even though he's has speech problems since he was 3, that hasn't stopped this little boy from becoming all that God wants him to be.  And I felt proud for him today. Proud that someone else sees the joy that he brings to my heart.

owner to the Leander Taekwondo Center 
Mr. Alamadi ( I hope I spelled it right)
Zachary said his goodbyes!


So, as we say Goodbye to one of his Instructors (Mr.Alamadi, Pictured on the left) who is going away to college, we say Hello to a new journey into Taekwondo, Olympic Sparring that will be lead by Mr. Evans at the center.  It sounds so awesome that I wish I was in Taekwondo myself.  Thank you Instructors, Mr. Evans and Mr. Alamadi for all you do.
