Sarah's  biography

I’m glad you came by to visit to find out more about me. Well… Lets see. I live in Encino, California with my mom, dad, my eleven year old sister Alexis and my grandmother. I’m 5’ 2, with blonde hair blue eyes. I’m 15 years old, my birthday is November 11th, that makes me a Scorpio and I’m in the ninth grade.

I am now an official sports reporter for the school newspaper. I go to school with my three very best friends Maria, Kim and Tiffany. You can find out how we first meet each other by reading the “ Origin Story of the Karate Angels.”

Oh yeah… I don’t eat meat. No way...! But, I like everything else, I just can’t stand the taste of meat. I find that for me, I like to eat throughout out the day as I get hungry. Like when I workout after school, I usually bring something with me to eat as I go. At my house my mom is always cooking something special, and I won’t miss that.

Do I like sports? I love sports. My fav is Tae Kwon Do and Hapkido. I have earned my first degree black belt, it wasn’t easy. My teacher is Grand Master Jun Chong. He tells me I can start to train for my second degree after the Junior National Championships next year. I don’t know if I chose martial arts or it chose me. I do know that the moment I walked into the dojang (Tae Kwon Do School), I knew this was where I want to be. I have developed my mind and my body well beyond what I ever dreamed of, but most importantly I have gained self-confidence. And with this self-confidence comes the opportunity to become the best person I can be. No one can take this self-confidence away, it will always be there. I compete in both sparring and forms (katas). I love to perform musical katas with many different weapons, but my weapons of choice are the Kama’s.

I love soccer too. It was so exciting when I watched Mia Hamm and all the other girls on the US Soccer Team win the championship, I was hooked from that moment on. So I tried out for the girls soccer team, and I made it. Wow… I scored two goals the first time I played. Now I know what the excitement with soccer is all about. It’s da bomb...!

Some of my favorite things to do are, dressing up in old clothes, body surfing, surfing the web, mountain biking, camping, cooking, snow skiing and writing poetry. Hanging out at the library on rainy days. Reporting all the competition news from karate tournaments that I go to, for my newsletter titled “Sarah’s Competition Corner.”

Everyone asks me, what I want to be when I grow up. Now that’s a tough question, because there’s lots I want to do. Well, I love to write stories. I want to be a screen writer and write a children’s television series or a movie. After I become an Olympic Gold Medalist, I want to become an editor of a big metropolitan newspaper. Then I want to go to law school and become the first woman president.

My fav T.V. shows are the X-Files, Buffy the Vampire and all the shows on the Fox Channel and Kids Karate Television Online.com.
My fav athletes are Tiger Woods, Flo Joyner, Tisha Walker and Marion Jones.
My fav movies are; The Bachelor, Anywhere But Here, The Blair Witch Project.
My fav kind of music is, Pearl Jam, Lauryn Hill, 98 Degrees, Ricky Martin, ‘N Sync, Korn, Goo Goo Dolls.
My fav saying is; “ Practice doesn’t make perfect, perfect practice makes perfect. ”
