Heros, my cousin Curtis.

I chose my cousin Curtis as one of my living heros because he is part of what inspired me to take up martial arts in the first place. He got his black belt when he was about my age, and just kept on going from there. He became the Rhode Island state champion for his age group, and for this I idolize him.

Lila took action and asked the custodian if the light was alright, it was then Lila went and told the… Continue

My hero, Tia Booker

I think everyone on this blog page knows her and how amazing she is. Tia is one of my hero's because, well, firstly she is amazing at tae kwan do and also because she helped me get to where I am now (and Tia, if you're reading this thanks for all the help!) I love working with her because she inspires me to try things I wouldn't normally attempt at and she is just a fun person! this shows that just about anyone can be anyone's hero!
