Aaron recently earned his gold belt in his martial arts class. The week after, his instructor called me to ask if I thought Aaron would like to take on a leadership role. The program has a group called STORM Troopers which stands for Special Team of Role Models.
He was given a new uniform which signifies he is in a leadership role. When the class meets at school he will be able to help train the lower ranking belts. His instructor will also allow him to help at the Saturday class, but he is not the highest ranking there.
This is really his niche. He has very strong and powerful techniques. Being my child who has struggled with self confidence, I am so thankful that he is enjoying this and that his instructor sees his potential and talent and encourages him.
This is Aaron's instructor, Ms. Jennie, helping him adjust his uniform. When he arrived at class on Saturday he was wearing his old white uniform. Ms. Jennie called him back into the back room to have him change and he was able to come out and surprise the rest of the class. He was so proud!
