  • Story: I am 34 yrs old and live in a small town in Tennessee. I have been married for 10 years (6/26). We have a 12 yr old son. Until I met my husband I had never been interested in fighting. He loved it and now all of us are hooked. As most of us parents know, there comes a time when the kids are too old for day care but not old enough to be left alone. Two years ago we came across that problem. I was stressed out until I read our local newspaper. Kapellers Family Tae Kwon Do was offering an after school program. That was my saving grace. I spoke to my husband and together we decided to enroll our son. The following week, we enrolled in the adult class. June 27, 2008, we will be testing for our 1st degree black belts. I am an assistant instructor and will be getting my instructor patch that night also. While there we have trained in jujitsu and sambo. Our son has taken part in 4 exhibition fights that are strictly grappling ( we will not let the kids stand up and punch).
    I have 2 younger sisters, 2 neices, and 1 nephew. My mother practically raised us by herself while working and going to college. She is an inspiration to all of us. In 2004 our world got rocked when mom was diagnosed with cancer. i am going to be honest, I was scared to death. Never in all my life have I been that scared as I could not think of life without my mom. moms just make things better. Anyway, I took her to her treatments and after 6 months the drs told us she was in remission. I still worry about my moms health and stay on her about her check ups. I figure if my mom can beat cancer then I can handle whatever life hands me. She supports us in every way a mother can.
    I served 4 yrs in the USMC. I personally think that was the only time my mother was disappointed in any decision I made. I dropped out of college to enlist. She eventually came around (when she saw my in my uniform).
    My family is the single most important thing in my life. We love to camp, taking nature hikes, and hunting. We are into the conservation of reptiles and amphibians. That is just a little about me.
