The Tiger Test

Tonight was the tiger test, and I can honestly say that in all my years of testing (elementary - college)  tonight was by far the hardest test I have ever taken.  It was a test that literally pushed me beyond my limits physically, mentally, and emotionally.  My limbs were shaking, I cried, and I almost walked out.  But I didn't.  My Sensei pushed me to keep going.  I pushed myself.  And in the end, I was the victor.  I learned about myself, my strengths, my weaknesses, what keeps me going, my limits, and the truth about those limits, and many other things that I'm not going to share in this venue at this time.  Bottom line - I'm glad I did it, and I'm glad I'll never have to do it again.  I will be sore tomorrow.
