I made the belt!
But it was hard and I was totally soaked with sweat when I was done. My tae-guk number two was not perfect, so I was quite worried for a while. However I made it! Feeling not totally happy with my performance, but still happy! The grader is the president of the Kenyan Taekwondo association and my mom calls him "Stone face" because he is so tough! I thought he was going to kill me, demanding perfect kicks and plenty of pushups. He is so serious that both my mother and sister didn't think they made it while grading for him. When my sister graded last time, he kept saying that "we have a problem" and the problem was that she was too good for that grade and needed to skip a belt. They were also graded by another really nice examiner - just my luck to get "Stone face". On my next training session, Max told me (to my surprise) that I made really good grades and passed by far. Imagine my surprise!
