up at Denny Strecker's Karate I have notice that
she is becoming… more responsible for herself. She will
clean her room on her own and is more willing to help out with
the chores…She shows great interest in learning martial
arts and is very excited to go to class, which in my eyes is a
great thing. I have always stressed manners in my home and now
she gets to see it from another side that it is very important
to use them at all times. I also feel that her self esteem is
improving. She will tell me that she feels good about herself
now, which was not something she would just come out and say before.
She is also starting to stand up for herself…”
