Karate Graduation

Myles has been working really hard in karate and recently graduated from his white belt to his yellow striped belt. He is still loving karate and I'm so thankful we've found a niche for him.

This picture represents one of the many things karate has done for Myles - help him gain confidence in using his voice. When he first started karate, he hardly spoke up at all, but part of each class is saying the creeds, introducing yourself, and frequently saying "Sir," and other things. The instructors kept encouraging him to speak up, and although not all of his words are there yet, he is using his voice with confidence in each class.
