Black Belt and Its Importance in my Life
Let me start by introducing myself. My name is Lara Makkapati and I am 8 years old. I am writing this essay to express my joy and excitement about being one step closer to achieving my black belt in taekwondo, In 2013 when I was 4 years old, I wanted to learn something new and challenging. So my parents enrolled me in Strickland's Taekwondo. Like all parents they wanted me to learn from the best. So four years and 16 taekwondo belts later, I am so close to achieving my goal.
Practicing taekwondo helped me overcome fear and made me braver. It also taught me discipline, focus and respect. In the beginning, remembering the various forms was a big challenge. As I kept practicing the various forms again and again, it taught me how to learn new things. It also helped me stay focused at my education and at school. Sparring showed me how to defend myself and get rid of my fear. Mr. Cain along with Miss. Anderson made learning fun and helped me overcome my flaws. Being a black belt will help me learn lot more and also help me inspire and mentor other kids,
Along the way, I have had a few setbacks also, like not being able to do my form properly and not being able to break some boards. I never cried or though about quitting, but came back with more courage, energy and enthusiasm. I would like to thank my parents and master instructor Mr. Strickland for making it possible for me to become a black belt. I feel very proud that I am about to achieve my first degree black belt at only 8 years old and I will continue my pursuit for 80 more years to become strong and successful and learn more things. Becoming a first degree black belt, is just my first shining moment in my life and I hope to achieve much more.
