Undergraduate / Common App Short Answer - Tae Kwon Do tournaments and gold medals [7]
Elaborate on one of my activities(150 words or less)
As I trotted toward the center of the mat, I felt a drop of cold sweat dripping down my forehead. There stood my foe, looking down at my red and black belt. No, it wasn't fair. Just because I was undefeated in my rank did not mean I had to face an older and tougher black-belt opponent.
Before my brain was able to squeeze out the decisive tactic, the referee shouted "Shi Zak!" Sensing my reluctance to lunge forward, my foe quickly struck, hitting my abdomen twice. But as he backed away, I countered with my yup-cha-gi which landed on his face. He was down.
The crowd roared, and I stood awe-struck as my arm was raised high. Only when a gold medal was bestowed did I realize I had won the tournament.
It was the first of several gold medals in Tae-kwon-do tournaments for the determined Grade 7 boy.
Exactly 150 words loll!
