Thank you for sharing your what a black belt means to me essay. It was very honest and true. I can relate to what you wrote about by me having similar feelings and experiences that you have. It takes dedication, hard work, and never giving up to be here. The black belt challenge changes you as a person to become the best version of yourself. You are different in a positive way from when you started this challenge. It helps you grow and blossom into a well rounded balanced leader. Enjoy the last few weeks of your challenge because you will always treasure this year in your life. I will be the cheering you on during your final test. You are ready.

Wow! I’m so excited that you’ll be joining us! And I love your reflection. I have found it both humbling and encouraging to do this challenge as one that has already earned the black belt. I’m glad you’ll also walk this path, sensei.
