Testing for Senior Green Belt

Today Laney was able to test for her senior green belt. She did really well during form and board breaking, but had some problems during sparring. She is normally really good, but today she didn't seem al lthat into it. When I questioned her she told me that she was having an asthma attack! Thankfully it didn't get too bad & I was able to get her inhaler to her before board breaking. No matter what the outcome of this testing is I am so very proud of her for what she has accomplished in taekwondo. She moved to a green belt in 11 1/2 months. She has her self-confidence back & she is much more outgoing than she used to be. Of course, I have to give credit where it is due and let you all know that this would not be possible if it wasn't for her instructor, Anne Docarmo! She is the greatest and I would tell anyone that was looking to start TKD to check her out. She never says anything bad to the children. She is very positive and I feel as though that helps greatly. Here are some pictures from testing. Hopefully tomorrow I will be posting her test results.
