When I think of qualities I hope to instill in my son, I think of our family values: faith, family and friends. I know Joseph will continue to grow in character and integrity. I’ve already seen those qualities develop as he becomes older. Many people have their kiddos join Taekwondo for self- esteem building. Joseph has strong self-esteem and he is gaining self-control and an internal focus of control. He has a wonderful spirit and zest for life. Taekwondo at the Colorado Taekwondo Institute (CTI) is helping him develop a meaningful way to reign his spirit. When our friends ask about Joseph’s attitude toward Taekwondo, I answer, “He is passionate about Taekwondo.” He is learning that hard work leads to recognition and success. He is proud of his Taekwondo accomplishments. He loves his trophies but when asked what he liked about a tournament, he replies, “I learned something new and I tried my best.” I love that answer because it applies to so many aspects of life! Also, Taekwondo at the CTI is helping Joseph understand mutual respect – for himself and others. Thanks CTI! -Julie Berg, mother of Joseph Berg (1st Grade School Teacher, Rooney Ranch)
