Fritz has been going to Code Ninjas for a little over a year now, ever since the center he goes to opened (we literally signed him up at the grand opening). Wednesday evening they had an open house and as part of it, they asked Fritz to talk a little bit about his experience there and challenges he’s had and overcoming them, kind of give some motivation for other kids who were there.

Fritz is the furthest ahead of all the students that attend that dojo. He’s nearly done with his green belt. He’s been working in JavaScript for about a year now and is getting pretty good at it. The next belt he’ll learn Lua.

Anyway, Fritz was so nervous, but he stood up and he spoke really well and was understandable and everything. We were so proud of him and he was so proud of himself. Since he turned 13 last month he’s suddenly matured a lot both in how he carries himself and how he looks. It’s kind of crazy and awesome, really, just how much he’s changed so fast.
