COUNTDOWN TO PUERTO RICAN DAY PARADE
Many people do not realize the benefits of their child's participation in a parade.
How many of you parents can really say you had the opportunity as a child to march in a parade and demonstrate to the public?
I am sure not many of you had the opportunity. I did not either.
Martial Arts is about character development and acquiring the courage to stand with pride and conviction in front of those who may judge you.
It promotes the ability to conquer inadequacies and physical disbeliefs.
There is so much more positives that happens to a student when participating in such an event.
Give your child the opportunity that many children wish they could and should be a part of!
