I’m glad you enjoyed visiting the Eastern seaboard! I love the hydrangea picture. I had a gorgeous hydrangea bush at my home in Delaware, and this reminded me of it. So you added 6 states to your “now visited” list. How many have you been to? Do you hope to visit all 50?

That’s a beautiful picture with all the colors of the flowers. I am glad you visited the east coast with your family to make wonderful memories.

Olivia, it sounds like you’re working really hard and truly dedicating yourself to the challenge. May the satisfaction you feel as you progress along this path add to your motivation and diligence!

Let’s find some ways to help you with your sparring numbers some more. If you are here and there are other classes happening up front, see if you can grab another student to spar with, even if it’s a young one. You can “pull” them out of their regular class to get some extra time in the back. For the student, it’s a great opportunity to get some private time with a great instructor and partner. I’m also always happy to spar with you anytime as well!

That’s great that you’re working hard to catch up on numbers. The summer allows you more time to train. Also now you have partners to help you catch up on numbers. Keel it up.

Those 13 points are excellent! Glad you read the book and shared the wealth with us!

That sounds like a great book to read. Those are a great 13 ways to have strong mental strength.

Some great takeaways here. I’ll have to pick this one up.

It sounds like a packed summer of fun. Enjoy all the places you will visit and activities you have planned.

Awesome Olivia! Congrats on finishing your junior year! Enjoy your travels, JROTC camp, and your senior year!
