Black Belt Convocation

Saturday was an amazing day for everyone.Everybody got their new ranks including Mrs.Wilmott,Mr.Trank,Cam,and I.We all had an awesome time doing the demonstration,recieving our new ranks, and the potluck dinner.Also a big congrats to Master Callaway for earning his fifth degree Black Belt!!I would like to thank those of you that stayed for our Convocation,we really appreciated it.Well anyway,during the premotion I was really comforted by the warm and gentle hearts of others.After recieving our new Ranks/Belts we were all excited.When we had to go over and give everyone a hug it was really nice.Just like what Mr.Houck said, martial arts is like an extended family even when someone is new.When that part of the Convocation was done it was really neat to see Master Callaway and Grand-master Kuek each recieve gifts from the academy.I think that I speak for everyone when I say that Master Callaway you've really earned to get to where you are now.As for Grand master Kuek you've always been a great master to follow and I know that you will be proud with Master Callaway.Keep working hard!at the demonstration part well that was the easiest,it was fun,and it was very entertaining to hear everyone's profile.I also liked to watch the preformance part of the Convocation.When the potluck dinner was going on we all had a blast. Mr.Trank,Jess Mrs.Wilmott,Olivia,Cam,my mom,and I talked the whole entire time.The food that was brought was some of the best food that I've ever tasted.Especially Mrs.Wilmott's chocolate chip vegan cookies.They were to DIE FOR!!All in all it was a fun day even cleaning up afterwards.To Mr.Trank,Cam,and Mrs.Wilmott keep striving for higher excellence.You guys are The Bomb!!!!
