Success!

Congratulations.

The march towards permanent student is well worth the effort that is put in.

Cheers

Congratulations on your success! The best part is that you accomplished it. I hope that the other co-workers were supportive and the one giving you grief about your weight understands the physical effort you are putting forth. All that aside this hoorah is for you and going through it and achieving a new level.

It's been truly amazing and honestly, this testing was a success in so many ways...

I went and watched the black belts test last night. I am just in awe at how awesome it went! Everyone did so well!

It gives me to goals to look forward to.

congrats on your test. It's great when you are finished. Such a great feeling.

Belt testing was a success! I am now an Orange belt!

I am really excited over this. The testing was
harder than my prior belts and I think our
Sensei rode us harder than before. I am glad!

I hurt a little bit today due to a leg injury I had
gotten on Monday, but other than that, I am fine.

This was also the first test in which some of
our coworkers came to watch. Like testing isn't
stressful enough lol. One of the girls who came
to watch is the one who gives me a lot of trouble
at work about my weight.

For once, I fully felt confident in myself and it went
well. We demonstrated our kick sets and bo staff.

It was awesome because I haven't had my own bo staff.
I have been using one of the school's. When I went to test,
I went to ask for one to use. One of my instructors said she
had a special one for me.

She pulled it out of the closet, and it was my
height...and it had a blue/silver bow on it.
Our school's colors. I guess a couple weeks ago,
my other half had purchased it. It was my instructors idea to
put the bow on it and give it to me during the class.

It was awesome. A perfect night. Thanks for all the
support!!
