So enriched!

In February, Abby and Emma's school offered a 4 week after school enrichment program. The kids could choose from several topics; a musical, taekwondo, art, sewing, etc. Emma chose Taekwondo. I think she had a lot of fun, but when I asked her if she wanted to continue in Taekwondo, she replied, "Eh, I don't think Taekwondo is my thing." This video was taken at her "graduation" ceremony - she breaks her first board. The kids are taught to be confident, so when her instructor asks her if she thinks she can break the board, she must have answered, "I'm not sure." What might be difficult to hear is the instructor addressing the class - if you are playing basketball and you feel like you aren't sure you're going to make a basket, then you won't. So then her instructor asks Emma again and this time, she answered, "Yes, sir!"
