First Time I’ve Gotten A Drawing From A Kid

By a friend • November 26, 2025

I practice Karate, and while one class is happening I practice in my own section of the school. Often when I practice, one of the students younger sisters likes to watch me. She enjoys the karate atmosphere but is naturally a more shy person (and too young), so she likes to mess with equipment and such and watch me as if she was doing it too.

One time she said hi to me when I was taking a quick break, so I said hi back of course. But today when I was sitting down to take a sip of water she came over with a drawing she made, saying it was for me “doing so good at karate” and to keep it up. My heart absolutely melted.

I asked her for her name, gave her mine, and I encouraged her to join a class one day when she’s a bit older.
