Who Do You Want To Be?

“Who do you want to be?” is like asking, what kind of person do you want to grow up to be? Imagine that you can choose to be a doctor, a police officer, or an astronaut. It’s about figuring out what makes you happy and what you love to do. This helps you to create the kind of life you want to live when you grow up. Who knows? You could own your own martial arts sch

You Ready To Become The Person You Want To Be?

Sometimes it can be a little hard or scary, but as long as you keep trying, you can change and grow into the amazing person you want to be, just like a superhero!
