  • Adoption of my first cat

    Adoption of my first cat
    When I was 6, I came home from school to find a little furball hiding in a little pink house for cats. I was so confused. There was kitty litter, kitty food, toys everywhere, and a little meow. To then, find out that my parents got my sister and I a cat! We struggled finding out a name. I remembered when I was 6, I loved strawberry shortcake so that was my offer but it got blown off. To then discover our new cat was named, Kiki (Key-Key) Meow Avery! And yes we did give her a middle name.

    Colorado Skiing Trips
    Our tradition was to go to Breckenridge, Colorado every thanksgiving to have a family bonding time (We didn’t go this year due to my grandpa getting sick). We would go skiing (my grandpa teaching me how to after I went to a ski school), turkey making, playing in the snow (snowman), and snowmobiling.

    When I was 11 I worked for a year going to tournaments. I won all categories, forms (where you do a series of moves as if fighting), weapons (a series of moves that you do just like a form but with a weapon in your hand), which mine was nunchucks, sparring (fighting opponents with gear) and combat sparring which is just like sparring but using a weapon.

    Black Belt
    When I was 11 I went to a testing to earn my black belt. At this testing was a 8th degree black belt who was in help of creating taekwondo. Who came to watch me earn my black belt! For my black belt testing I had to perform the black belt form in front of everyone by myself and break 2 boards. The first board I had to break was by doing a front jump kick and the second board you had to do was a back elbow. I then passed the testing!
