When I decided to do martial arts classes, I didn't know if I would like it because I haven't done it before. This made me take the risk of trying it which made me get into it.

After doing martial arts classes for a couple of years, it helped me boost my confidence with being able to try more activities.

Around this time, I decided to do karate classes and I got into it. I did the classes for a couple of years and it was a fun experience.

After my parents divorced, I was able to understand why they needed to separate from each other.

The Coronavirus Pandemic was around which had me stay at home and do online schooling. I wasn't able to hang out with friends and I wasn't able to be social with many people.

When I went into high school, I planned to do my best for all 4 years in high school.

When doing things like learning to drive, I have to be determined to achieve what I want to learn.
