In taekwondo today, Max brought me a medal!! Apparently "Stoneface", the president of the Kenyan Taekwondo Association and my grader, was really impressed with my performance! This is funny, because I actually really thought I'd failed the test! Max explained to me, that being a person that had practiced taekwondo for a quite short amount of time, I was not expected to do so well! It is extremely encouraging to get such fantastic, nice looking medal for my efforts! Maybe this will speed up my next grading!? Max also told me that the grading is a learning experience and that the grader wants a communication, as well as have you do things you don't know yet. So, you're really not successful in the grading process unless you partially fail it! I feel proud an encouraged by knowing this, and a lot happier with my performance during grading.
