Support

This week has been great for me. I got a job, not in my new field, but money in the bank is awesome. It was also the restart of classes, which was completely re-energizing for me. I didn't realize just how embedded the kwoon and its members are in my life, how important and vital they are to who I am. This is what I want to write about today, the support I receive from my kung fu family.

The job for instance, I got a big help from Don Bjorkquist. Being someone of influence, he asked around and got me a position at the dealership he works at. This was a huge moral booster, having no job when you need it is quite mentally draining. Now my mental attention can be directed more towards my kung fu and studying for my EMR exam. Which again, if it wasn't for Mike Kohut, I would not where to start in regards to that. 

I cannot express how grateful I am to my fellow kwoon members. You guys have been helping me both on and off the mats for years now. I am so happy to be a part of such a great group of people. This is what it is like to be in a community. This feels good. 

A new spark of motivation has struck me to train harder than ever. I am not just training for me, I am training for all of you. I will become successful, enough so that I can repay all the good deeds I have received. See you all on the mats.
