I absolutely LOVE winter!!!
- Christmas
- the weather (duh)
- looking at Christmas lights and decorations
- Christmas break from school ;)
- Snow!! (If it snows, which in Alabama usually does not happen)
- Wearing Jackets and boots
- Buying a Christmas tree and decorating it with my family
- Buying presents for loved ones
- Waking up on Christmas day and finding presents under the tree!!
- New Year's Day!!!(btw, that's my dad's birthday!!)
- Most of all, I love spending time with my family!!!
This Christmas, I want you to do somethings;
1. Make someone's day
2. Tell someone that you love them
3. Volunteer somewhere
4. ENJOY it with loved one!! Because that's the best part, and before you know it, you'll be off to College and that's the only time you'll get to be home with your family:(
5. KEEP your New Year resolution!!! ;)
LIVE this Christmas to its best!

Black Belt!!!!!!!
Got my black belt!!!!
After 2 years of being loyal to taekwondo, I have achieved my black belt at last! Well, my black belt in training, I won't actually get my solid black belt with my name engraved on it until February. Getting my black belt is a huge milestone for me as a martial artist. My instructors have started to expect a lot out of me since this is an important phase in my martial arts career. I have to learn the black belt curriculum and the new board breaks this cycle! I had to also get ready for tournament, Regionals are coming this November! My first tournament as a black belt!!!! Wish me luck!

My Newspaper Editorial - Martial Arts Vs. Other Sports
Martial arts VS other sports?

When mentioned the word “sports”, most people easily think of football, basketball, or soccer. Although it provides a good value towards life, martial arts is probably the last thing that people think of as a sport.
Taekwondo, Karate, Jiu-Jitsu, Judo, etc, are all examples of martial arts. They all require determination and the mindset of not giving up just as any other sport does.
Martial arts develop a sense of quick thinking and reflexes that are required in the world we live in today. We all have seen those news stories where kids commit lethal actions due to physical bullying in schools, self defense provides a resolution to situations like that.
I was taught at a young age that when in danger, do whatever best to ensure your safety as well as of others around you.
Martial arts academies allow their students to develop valued life skills. Such as self-control, assertiveness, and dignity with which, any career would be unachievable.
Instructors dedicate their entire lives to ensure an enriching and safe environment for people to learn to be self advocates and be independant.
I have done taekwondo for a while now, and it has prepared me to face anything that the world throws at me.
Not just on a regular basis, but even in the 2016 Rio olympics, taekwondo and judo didn't make the most popular headers in the news.
The south loves football, maybe even is passionate about it, but does it really help the athletes develop skills other than good stamina?
So why neglect the one sport that teaches you and insures your safety in real life situations?
