My Future?
The End???
There is no end and getting my black belt is just the begining for me. I strive to be strong, to be confident and to share karate with the world. I am determined to be the BC Provincial Champion and one day be the Canadian National Champion. The most important thing to me and the goal I know I will reach, is to be a Sensei one day myself.
