  Those notebooks are very artistic. That seems like a good way to keep track of your numbers. Your numbers look on track to finish early. You really caught up this summer. Awesome.

  Congrats on your placements in the tournament! I was so happy to finally begin to meet members of my dojo. I’m glad you enjoyed visiting my “new” home state! I look forward to seeing you in California soon!

  Beautiful kata! You really nailed the most challenging sections, such as the spin, which can be especially challenging on an unfamiliar surface. Thank you for representing the dojo so well!

  That’s fantastic that you have caught up in your numbers. It takes dedication and you have lots of that. Injuries are difficult during the test. Part of the test is how you get through them and preserve. Modify what you can so you can heal. Keep of the good work.

  Great job in your dedication to completing your tasks. I hope you’re aware that arnica helps with bruising. I even took the internal kind in the months leading up to my shodan test. Keep up the great work!

  I can testify to your numbers since I’m the one that gets the dojo alarm notifications at odd hours from you popping in and every time the video thumbnail pops up, it’s of you working diligently. I’m proud of your work. You’re almost there!

  Humboldt State now Cal Poly Humboldt is an excellent school. I went there for my degree in Zoology. It has an incredible science program. The outdoors there are so beautiful. You will never run out of things to do like hiking, biking, camping, rock climbing, rafting, and backpacking. If you love the outdoors and major in environmental science it’s the place for you. Good luck in applying.

  If you and Olivia both end up at Humboldt, you are going to be significantly increasing the amount of Isshinryu karate-ka there by a large amount!
