Yesterday Noah's Taekwondo instructor spoke at his school. The topic was responsibility. I'm always amazed at Mr. O'Connor's ability to keep kid's engaged and correct behaviors without raising his voice. Yesterday though, it wasn't 20 kids it was over 300. It didn't seem to be any different. After he spoke, Noah and 3 other boy's in leadership from his school were asked to put on a demonstration for the school.
Noah did great. He demonstrated a self-defense move that got the crowd excited. He was a little rockstar. Afterwards a bigger kid stopped us in the hallway to say "You were awesome!"
When Noah is proud he loses his big smile and gets a little grin on his face with his lips together. Yesterday his lips were so tight I thought he'd burst from pride. The kid was right. He was awesome.
