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!

You’re likely going to be in the best shape of your life within the next few months! The summer heat is the unfortunate consequence of that Sacramento life. That said, winter can be an even more challenging time to get your miles in (unless you love riding in the rain). I generally recommend getting ahead while you can now. Maybe some morning or evening rides to avoid the heat?

I am glad your body is adjusting to all the physical exercise. It will help you in this challenging year.

Awesome start Elinor! And congrats on wrapping up your junior year!

Congratulations on starting the black belt challenge. It is great that you will have your friends doing it with you. The support and encouragement you get from them will help you along the way. I am around if you need advice or support also. See you in the dojo.

You’re such an important part of the dojo family Avi! And this test makes it even more so. The whole dojo is behind you!

Celebrating your courage and long-term vision, Avi!

So excited to do this together!
