After class and after the rolls, I got called up in front of the class.
My belt now looks like this:
That second stripe took a long time to be earned. Time off for surgery and recovery turned it into almost two years, and then over 100 hours on the mats to get it.
It's both interesting and amazing how much a little piece of tape on a belt means and is worth, and at the same time is not really meaning anything at all in the grand scheme of things.
Now to work on continuing to improve, and to try and earn stripe three.

Congratulations. The next stripes should come more quickly, then on to purple!
Congratulations. And it really does mean something. It means dedication and effort, something that makes life worth living. On now to the next step and stay safe and on track. Best of luck.
Congrats!
Well deserved !!!
Outstanding, Aaron! When I started in Tae Kwon Do, I didn't know how much I didn't know. Now after 2nd degree black and 25+ years, I do know how much I don't know. It's a journey. Take care, my friend!
