A parent, whose child has been training with us for a couple of years, sent me this essay written by her son as part of his middle school application process.

It floored me that I had so much in common with a 10 year old's training experience. I too have changed a lot and  have had many wonderful teachers to whom I owe a great deal for their patience, perseverance, wisdom, and humour. Ironically,  the people that I learn the most from these days are my students. Thanks to all the kids at World Kanreikai Karate NYC dojo!
