“Take every opportunity now, you don’t want to later regret wasting it.”
My parents believed that kids need a balance between mind and body in order to develop holistically. They believed kids need to study hard in school, but they also believed that kids need to play sports to stay balanced. In doing so, they had me in every sport imaginable!
When I first started fencing, it didn’t click. However, I stuck with it, and the interesting thing was – my parents told me they watched me changed. They said they saw me develop more confidence, and I seem to take more lead in doing things. So much so, I became the president of the Asian Student Association at my school. So now, it’s just natural to be part of Youth Fencing Chicago!
