Don't think that there are no sharks
just because the water is calm.
today marks the little big man's return to taekwondo training.
last october 19, during training, he sprained his ankle upon hitting his teammate's thigh. thinking it wasn't a big deal, he competed in the SCAA four days later only to aggravate the hurt ankle even more. after that, we decided to let it heal first before training again. after a week, it still hurt whenever he stretched his foot so we went to a rehab doctor who put him on a 4-session therapy to help it heal and advised not to stress his foot for the next 2 weeks. which meant no running, no jumping and most of all, no kicking until the 3rd week of november.
so today, he's back. as i watched him warming up, doing his ___ and study sparring, it seemed to me that he didn't even slip over the last month in the intensity of his kicks. it seemed to me that he got even stronger and more confident. perhaps it's because he missed training and gave it his all tonight. or perhaps it's just me, the mother, who thinks her kid is the greatest in the world.
i guess i'm just happy he's at it again. and looking forward to fulfilling his dreams.
and so i say, watch out world, sharkboy is back.
