Who am I?

Independence, respect, and individuality, have molded me into the person I am today. My name is Michelle but I go by Mish. The biggest influence would have to be my older brother. He's been someone I've looked up to since day one. Being seven years apart, we've grown to be very close. He's 24 years old, and has come a long way after high school. He owns a Tae Kwon Do school and that's become a big part of my life. I've done Tae Kwon Do the day I turned three years old and it's been a sport that's ran in my family for generations. Next to my brother, Tae Kwon Do itself has been a huge influence. It's a sport that trains the mind and body. I get the best of both worlds, not only do I get to train but I learn the meaning of earning and giving respect. Being advanced in a sport, allows you to help others and make the people around you better in what they do. This summer, I had the opportunity to work with children, teenagers, and adults that joined Tae Kwon Do. I instructed the classes and decided that I loved teaching, but children especially. My goal after high school is to get into a good school for early childhood education and then get a job as a Pre-K teacher or own a Pre-school.

  1. I am super jealous that you've been doing tae kwon do because I've always wanted to be good at it, but it never worked out for me! Hope one day that you will become a great pre-school teacher.

  4. That's awesome. I used to train in aikido and I miss it so much. Where is the dojo? I would love to get my daughters into a martial art.
