How I did it
It made me
Extremely happy! 
How I did it: I just kept plugging away at it slowly and eventually it was finished!It was a lot of hard work but well worth it. I learned so much along the way and not all of it was academic. I learned that I was a much more capable person than I thought. I also know that it is possible to continue to grow even after 30 (or 40) or after you have had children. Read how I did it…
It made me
Very Happy!!
How I did it: I applied for a temporary job and when I was offered it I took it. That is a hard thing to do when you have a permanent job but sometimes it is the only way to break into a new area. I'm confident that it will work out for the best. Read how I did it…

Becoming a Black Belt
14 months ago
I started Tae Kwon Do figuring it would just be great exercise. And it was! But it was also so much more. It was exercise I loved. I wasn’t constantly watching the clock waiting for it to end. Keeping my mind busy on learning the technique kept me from focusing on the effort it took. After class I felt energized. I felt a sense of achievement. In the beginning I never expected to work my way up the belt levels but then I got my first colour belt and then my second. Suddenly, being a black belt was within the realm of possibility. Now I want it!
