Mock Test

I am really excited because I will be taking a mock test on Saturday. If I pass that, then I can go on to take my senior red belt test in November. I am also very nervous, but I have been practicing really hard. I know I still have to work on things, but Mrs. Wilmott and Mr. Trank have been helping me by correcting me in class. My job now is to take those corrections and work on them so I can get better.

While nobody can take the test for anyone else, it is good to know that as a team we have worked together and helped each other and that the whole team will be there and we will be cheering for each other. Good luck to the whole team!
