Cody Griffis-Swenson hasn't added a story.
In July 2015, I am aiming to compete at the USANKF Nationals and US Olympic Team Trials for a spot on Team USA Karate. This time, they will be held in Ft. Lauterdale, Flordia.
I have spent 10 years of my life dedicated to the sport and will only spend many more years doing the same! Competition is one of my biggest driving forces in karate. I have been competing in various competitions for the entire ten years of my career! Every day I push myself harder and further than the day before so that the next competition will show that I have grown stronger and better.
Going to school full time and working a part-time, minimum wage job means Nationals takes a huge toll on me. I plan a whole year in advance for competitions like this. The time and energy I put into this means I have to sacrifice important things in life like friends, being a normal 22 year old, and as time has told, relationships. I put everything I can towards my goals and this is far from an exception.
That's why I'm branching out to you. The spare dollar you don't know what to do with? Donate! Feeling generous? Donate! I will use this money to get me to and from Ft. Lauterdale next July.
