It was a Sunday I had set my alarm to 10 o'clock it was the day was I finally going to yellow band I had woken up full of energey and got changed into my uniform and took my sparring kit with me and raced to boxing. There was Roy saying "don't worry ur ready" I had to wait for the others to finish and then 10 mins later my partner arrived. I shouted to him "come here". He came within a second and told me some that nobody has failed grading from the beginners class. Me being 7 the youngest in the class I was nervous what if I did bad and failed Roy. I wasn't going to let it happen so I just thought of happy thoughts. However my mind was set to the negatives.
I saw the girls from my class do it with ease and said to my mate "if the girls pass we are defo going to pass" he told me that just stay with me and we'll both pass. I wasn't worried about us 2 I was worried about the rest of the class and he said Roy never seen anyone fail grading I prayed nothing bad would happen.
Roy called us out and made us bow I was up first and my first move was a simple jab cross. I did it and knocked me partner off he's feet and then we did round house kick left and right clinch realeses A and B, front kick, Knees and 1 and half mins of sparring. Then the awards ceromony began I heard everyones namebut mines. Till the very end Niqqash had told us I had passed my grading I looked at my grades and they were all A's. Roy smiled at me and said "you did brillantly I'm proud of you". I kept the smile on my face I got my yellow band and a certifcate to prove it, this was the best day of my life.
