Today was truly a remarkable day, and my heart is overflowing with gratitude. I am so proud to have achieved my 4th Dan, Master rank! This test was undoubtedly one of the most challenging I’ve faced, lasting about 2 hours and 15 minutes. For nearly three months, my amazing partner, , and I dedicated ourselves to this journey, and what an incredibly humbling experience it has been.
Together, we not only inspired each other but also showed that age doesn’t define our capabilities. When we take care of our minds, bodies, and spirits, we can accomplish anything we set our hearts to. To my sister, , and to , , , , , Jasmine, Master Jay, Master Crystal, Master , Master , Shareen, and all my friends and family, thank you for your unwavering support through the late nights, injuries, frustrations, and joyful moments. Without your encouragement and love, we wouldn’t be here today.
I’m immensely grateful to God for enabling me to show up for myself, my children, my teammates, and our students. This achievement is not just for me; it’s for all of you! 🙌 💪
