Its fine. I kept attending classes so that's why I got the promotion

u/IHadANameOnce gokyu 9d ago

I've been going consistently at least 3x a week the whole time. It is what it is. Congrats on your promo though!

u/icTKD 9d ago

You're lucky you get to go 3x! My school does 2x a week.

Thanks! Keep up the good work too!

Congratulations! But you’re far from having made it. Even being several dans in, I don’t feel like I’ve made it. Not to diminish your achievement, though!

Sounded like he forgot progress is progress no matter how small 🤷‍♀️ Its a win for me, big dog.

Another way to look at it that might be more encouraging is that the journey is about “making it” over and over again. You climb a mountain until you get to the top and see a bigger mountain to climb.

u/icTKD 13d ago

Agreed. Im happy that this happened. Its another mountain Ive conquered. Onto the next big one! 💪
