We hadn’t heard from the flight school for a while, and my mom called them today. We were in davis for an orthodontist appointment so we stopped by to pick up some paperwork we need to fill out before I can start. It is super exciting that after waiting a really long time for a […]
Today just before school ended I looked outside and realized that it was absolutely pouring. I had ridden my bike to school and I knew that it was not going to be fun riding home. I also realized while walking to the bike rack, that it was also hailing. What more could I want on […]
Since I am behind on blogs, I am going to talk about my interest in motorsports. Many years ago here in the US, if anyone said they were watching a race, they almost certainly meant nascar. So for many years I associated motorsports with nascar. I thought nascar was boring, and I still do, but […]

Today I found my old white belt from when I was 8 years old. It kind of made me think a little bit about the my karate journey so far. Seeing my white belt really made me realized just how far I have come as a martial artist in the 8 years I have been […]
