My students have really taken a liking to our “Don’t Quit” motto—even the Tiny Texans.
Case in point:
Yesterday, 5-year-old Zephyr had a gnarly stomach virus. He felt awful, but at the same time, he was sad about having to miss Taekwondo class.
So he shored up all the indomitable fighting spirit he had and declared to his mother: “I’m in control of my body and won’t throw up in class.”
Poor little thing! I was so touched that he was trying to practice the Taekwondo tenets of perseverance—and self-control.
Mean Mommy made him stay home anyway. (Smart mommy, if you asked me.)
For his willingness to come to class even though he didn’t feel well, though, Zephyr will get a special “self-care” stripe when he returns on Tuesday.
