financial resources to make the journey. And the martial arts
journey is a secret dream of a surprising number of teens and

through my dark bamboo shades, I turn onto my left side and a
smile quickly overtakes the corners of my mouth. My senses are
filled with my precious child, peacefully slumbering, and
perhaps dreaming of a day filled with new discoveries and
adventures. Moments such as these offer me a sense of
contentment that all is perfect in the moment.
If only I had known that my heart would be captured by this
amazing being that I brought into ...
