I managed to scoot out of work today just in time to make it to Katie’s belt ceremony, for the Green Belt she earned on Saturday. It was every bit as cool as the last time, and I’m twice as proud. Proud because she’s progressed so quickly, and proud because she’s met the challenge of her instructors’ expectations with the sort of professionalism and grace that I’ve always known her to embody.
She’s pictured here, just after her promotion, with Mr. Lloyd, the head instructor at the Springfield Mudokwan school. He and the rest of the Lloyd family (who run the school together) are nearly as proud of her as I am!
