It's SATS week for many of our students!
This time of year, many of our younger students will be prepping for, or starting various exams at various stages of their academic lives.
A note from Sensei:
I'd love to see you in the dojo, even if you're not 100% engaged as normal but it's ok if you want to focus on your studies. The dojo isn't going anywhere. Both myself, the other instructors and your dojo family are here to support you if you need us. Remember you can talk to any of us at any time if you have any concerns, whether it's related to the dojo or not, we're here for you.
On a personal note, I'm also feeling the pressure since I also have assignments to turn in before the end of my school year, so I understand completely how you feel!
On that note remember your SATs are NOT and will NEVER be a reflection of how awesome YOU are. If you get the scores you want, great, if not it's honestly not a big deal. In the grand scheme of life it's only a small part of a much bigger and richer picture.
Embrace the challenge, be there to support your friends, and look forward to the next chapter of your grand life adventure after.
See you all in the dojo soon you awesome lot.
