My dad thought I needed karate in my life, and he was right. My dad, a third-degree black-belt, got me involved in karate in middle school. By doing karate I got healthy, gained confidence and had focus -- three things I really needed in my life at that time. However, the best part of karate for me was that it gave me a wonderful relationship with my dad. He was often my class instructor, personal trainer -- and always my biggest supporter. I was never what you'd call an "ace" at sports, but with my dad's help I placed in virtually every karate competition I entered. Those memories and lessons learned during that time still help me out every day of my life. I am very lucky to have a dad who would make this kind of an effort for his daughter year after year.
