Something Better Always Comes Along

Back when I was at a kindergarten age, my mother enrolled me to take Taekwondo. In order to balance both sports and academics, she usually just enroll my brother and I during summer vacations. Fast forward, Taekwondo became my main sport. I was able to join a competition for the first time and eventually won a regional gold medal at the age of 12. By the time I entered high school, I exceeded both in academic studies and Taekwondo. Unfortunately, when I turned 13, my health suddenly declined. We found out that I actually inherited my mother's side illness called mitral valve prolapse, and anemia. The doctor prohibited me from doing any sports like Taekwondo because my body couldn't handle it. What made it worse was the added fact that I have an irregular menstrual period. Eventually, all strenuous physical activities stopped. That resulted to me focusing on academics. With that, I graduated as one of the valedictorian in our high school. So I guess what I actually wanted to say is that something better always comes along.
