get my black belt

Started karate almost 9 years ago (May 99) there were many reasons I quite after the 1st 2 years, there are other reasons I quit the 2nd time I went back in 2004, and finally I went back a year and a half ago (Jan 07) well I’ve gotten up to purple, I’m 4 belts away from black… I injured my knee (dislocated it for the 2nd time) so my recovery is going to take a lot longer than it did the 1st time. Not to mention I’m going to end up with some sort of PTSD from how the injury occured this time… basically entirely a freak thing! But I promised myself that once I started I WOULD in fact get my black belt, and I’m going to no matter how long it takes me!
