"I am very proud of both of them. What impressed me the most in fact was how they kept working hard and kept going. A lot of kids get their black belt and then stop pursuing it," she said. "I am proud to see it as a process for them. Sometimes when kids get older they develop other interests, but Ben and Zoe have worked hard all the way." Paul also said she wishes she started taekwondo at the age her kids began compet- ing. "I wish I began a lot younger then I did," she said. "The fact that they are black belts already speaks a lot of their character. It's different when I was a kid than how it is now." Sanchez added that having a black belt at ages 10 and 13 would help both children in the future. "People will be shocked that they have accomplished this," he said. "It shows that they are dedicated to something and are willing to work hard in order to achieve it."
