Musings and Homework:
I will try to make this short, because she was told not to put REALLY personal thoughts into this blog. No one likes listening to a girl who has problems. It's deemed annoying and bothersome. Rather, the observers would like to read about the latest crush, the most saddest poem...or, hell. Their bowel movements.
No one would like hearing about my problems anyways. I'm too selfish if I do that. So, I'll just instead put down the metaphoric points for my Learning Guide for Writing.
THAT'LL get your attention. Mostly my work is better than my thoughts anyways.

Things You Need when you're a Karate student:
Belt: This piece of colored cloth isn't just that--it holds you. Its your attitude throughout your training and your karate life. It defines who you are--for attitude makes up for what you do, and what you think.
Teacher (Sensei): Trust your Sensei. This person holds the knowledge that is passed down from many generations--and is willing to teach you patiently those ways as well, so that you can practice them to near perfection. Also, it is also necessary to learn from your teacher, because you too may become an example to a future pupil someday.
Moves: A single punch, a roundhouse kick--they all symbolize the imagination. There are many ways to use your hands and feet as your empty handed weapons--in order to affiliated yourself, you must teach yourself diverse moves to broaden your mind.
Gym (Dojo): This is your primary setting, your home ground. The Dojo is usually covered with mirrors and wooden floored, so that you can come to grips with both your bare feet--and your reflection. You must be able to fight in any situation you are under.
Uniform: Your white uniform reflects who you are--but it is quite different from a belt. When you enter the dojo, you are not what you are anymore--you are the clear reflection of a training Karate student. You are sharpening yourself up to be the warrior you are trying to be.
Punching Bag: All students make mistakes. No one is perfect--that is what training teaches us. You train yourself on this bag to strengthen yourself; we make mistakes, but we are able to change ourselves in order to prevent making more. It lessens our worries and helps us be aware of our actions.
Meditation: Uncontrolled emotions can get in the way while training. A student is urged to meditate in order to wrap their hands around their feelings. A student must empty his or her mind, so that when they're back to train, their emotions are more in their hands and they are able to think more clearly.
Weapons: The many weapons a skilled karate student uses give more ideas to what they can do. A weapon is just an extension of your hand--therefore, with weapons, you can use more techniques you've never knew were possible.
Matches: When a student reaches a level, they are required to try their skills in a tournament, particularly a match. Students are pressured easily to take risks that they think are impossible to leap over, but in the end, the student learn they can take the challenge on with renewed conscience.
Medal: When a student receives this in a tournament, it boosts their confidence and motivation. Receiving a medal raises a student's expectations about themselves--but they are urged not to use that as their consideration; it is really the exhilaration of being in a match that should be worth the effort to praise.
