Kya I'm Kya C., I'm 14, and I'm a black belt in Taekwondo. I was honoured to receive the invitation for the 2023 International Children's Games in Daegu, South Korea. I am extremely ecstatic about this amazing opportunity because I see this as a way to inspire young children and show them that they can be anything they want to become as long as they give it all they've got. I can do all of this and at the same time make one of my dreams come true. Kya practices Taekwondo with Kees Lake Country. |
