Maurice lacks confidence and is not sure of himself. Initially, he was a little hesitant about the classes and wasn't sure he could perform what was being asked. But with a lot of encouragement from his Dojo and foster mom, he continues to gain confidence and demonstrates that he enjoys the challenge. Maurice attends classes at least 2 to 3 times per week which include exercises and movements that encourage him to be more disciplined. He is a very quiet child and does not talk very much, but since his involvement with Karate, he appears to be more open and comfortable. Unfortunately classes are becoming more expensive and are not fitting well into the family budget. Maurice would love to continue going to class to ensure his confidence is right where it needs to be!
