We were looking at next weekend being T's last regular event this season since Nationals are in July but now we are looking at 3 more events. 2 are in NY and 1 is in NJ. 2 are 4.0 point ranking events and the 1 in NJ is a 10.0 point ranking event. Life with an elite athlete having to travel, do events, and train never ends. Chasing points is going to be never ending it seems. Chasing points aside, going to these events also gives T more experience with fighting the tougher kids in his bracket. It gives him more ring time with them and to learn how to better fight them and hopefully learn how to beat them too. Between homeschooling and all this TKD that we are doing life is crazy to say the least. There is never a dull moment and things are constantly changing in this sport and we just roll with it as it comes and keep moving forward. We've been blessed to have some awesome competitors, parents, coaches, and masters touch T's life along the way. He's really loving every moment of this journey.
He does school because he has to but he loves all the training and doing the events. My boy is growing up so fast and is so smart and mature for his age. We may be struggling through math at the moment but he got a high praise from a sales person a few weeks back about how well spoken he is and how well articulated he is. He does so well in his other subjects and I know the struggle with math will get better as he gets older and matures more. I'm just glad that we are able to homeschool because without doing homeschooling he couldn't compete like he does. He's living his dream and we are supporting him as much as we can for as long as we can. He's an amazing kid and I can't wait to see the amazing man he is going to be when he is all grown up.
