In Miya's own words:
"To be able to teach and learn is the highlight about working at Eagle TaeKwonDo Academy. Being both a TaeKwonDo student and instructor for beginners and color belts helps me communicate with students from many different backgrounds.
"I've achieved a higher level of patience since working with kids from 5-12 in the After School Program and Summer Camp as well as with students of all ages from age 4 and up in the evening and Saturday classes.
"I'm amazed every time a see a student's confidence shine through as they improve the skills I've taught them. It motivates me to keep practicing every day.
"Personally, it has helped my confidence, especially with public speaking. I no longer dread speaking in front of crowds and meeting new faces."
