As I was taught Taekwondo, I then moved to a different level to attend AAU and USAT Taekwondo National Referee Poomsae/Sparring Qualification Courses. I was formally appointed to a USA National Level Referee at the age of 16, where I volunteered as a judge and referee in various competitions throughout the year. As I refereed and volunteered throughout the years, I felt like I had a sense of purpose in serving the community. I will continue to benefit the society as a talented referee at every opportunity.
