black belt

    WOW!!!  i am a 3rd degree Black Belt.  Yesterday was my graduation it was a great day.  My grandparents, aunt and uncle, Mom and Dad and my mom's longtime great friend (who i call Aunt Cindy)were all there!!!  After the graduationwe went to the House of Japan to east dinner and celebrate!!!  I have been doing Taekwondo for along time over 10 years now.  I am so relieved that I am now a Black Belt. 
    Master Boles gave us speech at graduation.  He told us that we should feel like we are now apart of the family of our dojong,.  My completion yesterday was not really about my belt or uniform but it is about what is in my heart. That is what truely matters.  He talked to usabout the meaning of Taekwondo and how it is a basic way of life for us. Actually the "Do" of Taekwondo means life.  We choose our own paths in life sometimes easy and sometimes not so easy.  He said don't worry about the work we do but how we continue to go on perfecting what we do in and out of the dojong.  I know this because of my years and years of training.  I try to follow the tenets of Taekwondo always.
