Diary
3rd January (Sat) Sunny
I finally got my black belt today!
When I was five years old, I had my first Taekwondo lesson. I held onto Mum’s leg and cried. I was so scared. Mum did all the moves with me because she wanted to tell me it was OK. Coach Tom asked me to punch on a thin wood board. I was so afraid but he kept encouraging me.
Taekwondo was not always fun or easy. I broke my elbow when I was seven years old. So I practised my kicks. I twisted my ankle later that year.
I could only practise my punches. There was a deadly virus spreading when I was ten. So I took online lessons and practised at home. I worked hard.
Mum did not learn Taekwondo. However, she helped me practise at home. She observed my forms and gave me feedback. She knew
I needed lots of energy. She avoided giving me food with high fat or sugar and prepared nutritious food for me. Thanks to her, I am able to stay fit and healthy. She is also my biggest fan. She never missed any of my competitions. She celebrated with me no matter whether I won or lost.
When I took the black belt examination today, I stayed calm and focused. I passed with flying colours! I’m very proud of myself! I’m also grateful for Mum’s support!
