We went to his stripe test, like any other day, expecting Carson to get his 4th stripe. Little did we know, Carson was graduating from 3 stripes to a new belt, a yellow striped belt. Which in the MMA world, more responsibility and more focus and determination is expected.
We had no idea Carson was graduating and Carson didn't know either. When Sensei called his name, Geoff and I had to pick our jaws up off the floor. Carson walked up so proudly.
In Carson's world, graduating to a yellow stripe means standing with a new group of kids, closer to the front.
He worked hard, he push through the days he didn't want to go, he pushed through the tears when he wanted to sit with Mommy and watch the other kids. Very proud, its not just a new belt, its the sign of accomplishment. It shows what you can achieve with determination and drive.
Keep working kid, you've got this in the bag :)
