I am very determined. If I want to do some thing, I'll do it. Especially if it's learning a new piece, mastering a martial arts skill, or really anything else in my life. If I have a passion for some thing, no one tells me to give it up, unless it is detrimental to my health. There is a perfect example of a story that I posted on my YouTube channel about three people who tried to force me to give up Star Wars. I was not having it. Aiah ?pushed back every step of the way. Eventually, they had to admit defeat. They were going to get nowhere with me. If someone forces me to give up some thing I enjoy, they're not going to get anywhere. I'm not gonna give up when I enjoy in my life, and that is my life to live. Star Wars is not affecting my health. Star Wars is not harming anyone else? And Star Wars most certainly is not illegal. .

thanks for the compliments you guys. I'm glad you were able to see my new story. I have a YouTube channel that I'm going to send now. I even demonstrate some of my martial arts on there. Yes, my instructor does allow me to throw him. Martial arts training. It's a lot of fun, great exercise, and it's a good addition to have with my work out at a small gym in my area.

Dear Group,
Speaking of youtube channels, I looked up our Amanda here, and saw that she's been doing martial arts training and was featured in a news story on youtube. Super interesting! Link:
Good on you Amanda! I like the "works really hard and never gives up" quote!
Best, Jen
