I entered the seemingly ancient building and hurried to the room where I knew the children awaited my arrival. At this point in my life, I was 14 years old and a first-degree black belt.

As the Sunday morning sun defeats my curtains, and coat my walls in rays of light, I awake. Laying there, taking in the first few moments of my day, I turn to grab my phone from my night stand. Notifications flood my home screen alerting me of the events I missed while I was busy sleeping; just because I am sleeping, doesn’t me the world has to stop.
