The Courte-Privey

Valerie couldn't understand why the teachers were being so unsupportive. Now she was a teacher herself and special ed. And she knew a good teacher could make a big difference. She decided to take private lessons. After eight months of private classes, Valerie felt ready to sign up for local competitions. In her first few tournaments, she did not do well. But what mattered was being there. For the first time in her life, someone had sought her out because of her karate talent.
