Heyo everyone, just want to kick this blog off by saying congratulations to everyone who got an award last night, well done to all the lion and dragon dancers and demo team, and a huge congrats to the two new black belts. You guys earned it.
That demo marked the end of my fifth IHC year, and I can say that somethings never change. Performance anxiety? Still there. I could feel my hands slide down the spade every time I swung it. An overwhelming mixture of feelings, still there. Sad the year is over, but happy I spent it with such a great team. On top of that, some things do change. With each passing year I get to work with new people and see different people grow. It’s a very humbling experience, watching people grow. It makes me reflect on how far I’ve come, and how far I’ve yet to go.
Entering IHC year number six, I realize that it will officially be 1/3 of my life I’ve spent on this team. And that’s the third I value most. I’m looking forward to growing with the Rat team, and contributing to the team. See you on the mats.
