This shows just how much Tim has changed from 2017 to now. So much change in a 7 year span. 7 years ago Tim did his first big TKD tournament, Kukkiwon Cup, and won 3 gold medals (1 for forms, 1 for breaking & 1 for sparring) and the grand champion cup. His tag team also brought home the trophy for that event as well. It was a banner day for Tim that day that jump started him wanting to really get into the competition side and TKD. He appreciates all that he learned on his TKD journey and will never forget those that poured into him for all those years that he did that sport.
Fast forward to now and Tim is coming to the end of his first whole year in the sport of Olympic Weightlifting and loves it. He came in 4th at Nationals and that is so huge seeing as he wasn't a complete year into the sport when he competed at it. He recently did States and brought home 3 gold medals for the 61kg weight division (1 for men's Youth, 1 for men's Juniors because he qualified with his total & 1 for men's open because he qualified with his total) + he was given a Best Youth Male Lifter plaque. He really cleaned up at States this year. His total got him into the 1st Wave for registering for the North American Open which is a huge event.
All this to basically show you that he is looking more like a man now and has all the manly muscle bulges to go along with it...LOL! He has a more grizzled jaw line now as he is growing into a man. It's a sad/happy mix of emotions for me that my boy is growing up but we've raised him right and trust God for his future because that's really all we can do as parents. Our kids are on loan to us from God until they're grown and we are to help grow them up in God so that they will be good additions to our society. Tim will most definitely be that. He's such a good young man with a good strong mind. We are excited for all that God has got in store for our boy in the future.
