Tess,

My Doctor(s) told me that the memory is the second thing to go. The first, well is why you do not really get upset when you loose your memory. :D

Those refreshments were not free, that dixie cup of water that we each got a sip out of, and it turned out to be one ice cube abd tap water, cost me a dollar.:miffer:

My arms are gonna hurt tomorrow. 200 push ups and 200 sit ups. You might think I'm crazy but to keep going whenI'd run out of steam I kept thinking "Bruce Lee. Bruce Lee". I don't know where it came from or why but saying it in my head made it a lot easier doing those pushups and sit ups. Anybody else have little mind tricks to keep them going during a test? What are they?:)

Congrats Rachel. another milestone in your martial arts journey!
I wrote the following paragragh a while back, it's a required paper for my black belt. The theme is what the "Black Belt means to me". Hope this helps you for your next test:

"Why do we train? Maybe it's because we seek something from ourselves, go further than we actually thought we could. That our reach exceeds our grasps. The actual value of training is not achieved through birthright, race, and station in life. Maybe it's those long hours of dogged determination and self-discipline carried out alone, imposed and supervised by an exacting conscience. You may train for a short period of time, or maybe you train for the rest of your life, but the character you build is yours forever"


Good luck in your journey.

Peace and Respect :asian:

Congrats, sounds like a fun test!

I still say my favorite test in TKD was the one that I threw up in the middle and still passed.

Hahahahaha :rofl:

Too funny as that has actually been my mantra on occasion "I will not puke, I will not puke, I will not puke".

For the record, I haven't puked in a test. :D
