why I joined ten tigers

There are several reasons why I joined the ten tigers program. First and foremost, I wanted a challenge. I have never really had a lasting challenge such as the ten tigers program and I thought I would test my own abilities to commit and follow through. Now almost three months later I am finding much harder than I thought it would be (sorry I couldn't get this in earlier I just couldn't find the time to write it).

Secondly, I felt that it would provide significant physical benefits, which I thought I would need, this semester especially. I have those online courses, and those, coupled with regular schoolwork, means I wasn't going to be getting much exercise. I thought this program provided the perfect opportunity to do my school assignments and not feel like a couch potato. Don't get me wrong I enjoy my occasional lazy days but I don't like them on a daily basis.

Lastly, I thought it would provide new and exciting experiences, such as the monthly group lessons, enviremental cleanup and empathy training. I thought these would not only propose a challenge and test my physical abilities as listed above, but help me improve myself as a person as well as an athlete and a martial artist.
