Essay On Black Belt

609 Words3 Pages

Wearing a black belt does not mean I am invincible, it means that I never gave up, I worked pass the pain, I overcame the disappointments, I did not cave into my doubts, and I faced my fears.

I remind myself why I am doing this, because I do not want to be a nobody. I am a somebody and I deserve to be heard. A black belt is only a white belt who never quit. I am proud to be a black belt. Today I am on my way to earning my second degree black belt and I could be more
