So, today was another learning lesson for Micah during training...he learned that Cheetos and salt water taffy are not a sufficient breakfast before he trains for the tournament in Japan. 🤨🤢
With that said, even though he felt sick and wanted to quit. He kept going. He even told his Sensei Emily that he isn't quitting. He's going to get through this training as well as black belt training.
DAMN! That's the karate and Mountainside Martial Arts spirit!
This past week has been the hardest because school started. He is adjusting to a new middle school schedule while maintaining his intense training at the dojo. Micah is exhausted. Micah has shed a few tears. Micah has wanted to walk out.
One thing Micah hasn't done....Quit, given up, or walked away.
This says a lot about his character. He is 12 year old who can work through difficult situations, juggle a hectic schedule, and train hard for the tournament (which we leave for in 8 DAYS! 😮)
But Micah, also needs a little help from you. We are still behind on raising funds for Japan, and we are leaving soon.
Your donation to his go fund me or even a cash or Zelle transfer are much needed at this time!
He appreciates your $10, $20 to this once in a lifetime opportunity.
