Ah, I love the feeling of helping people. It just gives me a nice warm feeling inside and motivates me to do more. Doesn't time fly by so fast?!? It's already another year, and I remember most things I did last year as yesterday. I've been interested in martial arts for a while, so I really wanted to learn martial arts, and to join the Olympia Kung Fu and Tai Chi club. I've currently learned 2 of the long fist forms, a staff form, and part of a broadsword form.
Well, you see, there is a traditional performance called the lion dance that is performed every year during new year celebrations (for more info on the lion dance, click here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lion_dance).
Every year, the Olympia Kung Fu and Tai Chi club performs this traditional dance along with a few forms of Kung Fu and Tai Chi at our local Chinese New Year festival. But along with this final performance, we also do a few others. Of these, there are 2 times where we go to the 2 local public libraries and perform to fundraise for the libraries, and I participated in all of these performances this year, and last year.
