I would like to thank Master Kim and Master Santiago for their dedication in the development of youth and families. Since enrolled in this wonderful school, my son Derek Oden has gained focus and self confidence that has dramatically changed his life for the better at home and at school. I must admit that I, from time to time, take for granted how much love and energy goes into running a school like this. I was vividly reminded of how special Young In is when my son tested for his yellow belt recently. During the board breaking portion of the test he became nervous and frustrated as his mother stood in front of him holding the board. Master Kim looked him in the eyes and spoke to him with care and confidence. When he broke the board his eyes were filled with astonishment and joy. He did not hug his mom in that instance. Instead he immediately turned to Master Kim and hugged her. The teachers and their staff care deeply for their students and the school is run as a family. I would just like to say thank you for your kindness, sacrifices, understanding, honesty, and selflessness. You have shaped many young lives and reinforced good family values. You are a solid cornerstone in the community of Lake Stevens. We are deeply honored to have you all teaching our son. Thank you!
