Kristen is currently applying to high schools and with that comes a slew of application forms and essays. One essay question asked, of all your extracurricular activities, write a paragraph on which one is most important to you. Now you should know that Kristen is involved in many activities. Here's what she wrote:
"Karate is the most important activity to me. It challenges me both physically and mentally. I really like it. I have been taking it since third grade and could never give up the years of hard work and dedication I've put in to it. In karate there are a number of tournaments. I love being able to compete against other people. The physical workout you get in karate is amazing too. Between warming up, exercises, katas, drills, and sparring, I go non-stop during every class, and I love it. For these reasons, karate is the most important activity to me."
Thanks for being such a positive influence in her life!
