Looks are very deceiving... All the
pain, suffering, and sleepless nights just thinking about how she could be the
very best at what she does. Lauren always dreamed about becoming a black belt
to prove to the people around her that she could protect herself and that she
was able to put up a fight in any situation that she was faced with. It took
four years for her to accomplish her dream to become a black belt.
Starting off with a white belt she knew
that it would be a long journey to become a black but she didn't care she knew
what she wanted so she never gave up on her dream. The week of her first time
to get up in rank which was her first test she was very nervous but she knew
what she had to do to go in there and show her trainer what she was made so
that she could rank up and some of the requirement that she had to meet for her
first time was she had to show that she knew the basics of karate before she
was able to become a white belt with a stripe which she did. Knowing that it
did not take long for her to be a yellow belt.
As the years past she found what she
loved to do in becoming a purple belt she knew that it would only be a few more
years before she became a black belt as the training continued and she kept
finding herself more and more in love with the sport of karate she did not want
to give up meeting new friends and sharing the same interests as she showed.
With all the support of her friends and family she became to take the sport
more seriously than she ever thought possible more months of training ranking
up to become a brown belt becoming more and more closer to the goal that she
had set for herself so that she could prove that she more than just a girl she
wanted to show that she could actually prove to herself and everyone else that
she could protect herself no matter how people saw her.
Two years and three months have passed
and she anticipated the day that she would become a black belt and final it was
the day before her test to show not only her but the people around her who she
actually was. The day before she had her test she had one more class to show
herself that she was ready for the test… Everything went her way that day.
After class on the long ride home she thought to herself this is the day I have
been training for and its coming tomorrow morning. She went home and the
restless night she had which she couldn't get it off of her mind.
The morning finally came and she was
anxious to see if she would actually become a black belt her name was called
she stepped on the mat and went through everything she has been training for
she did everything perfect so there was no doubt in her mind that she did not
make it. Sure enough she got her black belt as she started to tear up she said
“looks can be very deceiving”.
