It was a pretty good day. We spoke to another group of investors who happened to have another great connection that we could use in the future. It’s pretty cool that the people we are getting in touch with all have something that is in the field we are working with.
I got to school on time and help teach. I actually taught most of the first and second classes and as always it makes me feel very respected and good when they listen to me. After I gave the exercises for the second class, the senior instructor called me over to the side and handed me a small cup of cold water from the upstairs cooler. Now..this sounds like nothing. But it was a big deal to me. First off…the senior instructor GOT ME WATER. ๐ Second…basically the guys are the only ones who use the cooler cause well…it’s upstairs in their dressing area. It’s not like it’s a big thing, there are only two girls in the scool…but COOL. And it was also cool because generally you’ll see the main instructors drinking coffee or water from cups upstairs. This made me feel VERY high in the ranks and it was awsome!
Then during our class I was the only colored belt out of the black belts who got to give part of our exercises while we were doing it. Each black belt got up and did 3 exercises a piece but because I teach as well I got to give them too!
THEN…I think I didn’t tell you but on Saturday we are having a black belt test at our school. I was a little worried cause it’s been a while since I’ve fought in one. Everyone in the school has to fight the guy going for his belt a couple times. That always makes me nervous even though the eye isn’t on me. It turns out the the guy going is an 18 year old that I’ve been helping (I have been helping alot of the people I teach) but he asked me to be his Second! This is a really big honor. I was Daddy’s second and some of you may remember the journal about it. It means I get to be in the back helping keep him together and giving him ice and water. Concider it being in someone’s corner in a boxing match. In Karate…this is a really big thing. You put alot of trust into your second. I was pretty surprised he picked me. He told Sensei and Sensei approved of his choice. Anyway…I feel realy good!
The only bad thing that happened today was that Daddy hurt his foot when he kicked someone tonight. He’s having a little trouble walking and we may have it checked out tomorrow. I’ll let you know how it goes.
