Taekwondo
My Taekwondo journey began over ten years ago, leading me to earn my first-degree black belt and train for my second. This experience has transformed me, teaching me resilience and self-discipline. Achieving my black belt symbolizes my growth as a warrior, giving me the confidence to stand up for myself. I’ve faced numerous challenges, and despite moments of doubt, I persevered. Now, as a black belt, I have the privilege of teaching others, reinforcing my skills and appreciation for taekwondo.
