I answered "very inspired". I was "extremely inspired" during my very first class when a twelve year old girl tossed my on my butt like it wasn't no thang! I've been an aikidoka for almost eight years. I find myself smiling when a new student is all about strength and clenched fists; that's just what I was like on my first day.

I love the look on a person's face when they get the hang of something new! Passing on the stuff that my sensei has given me has been a very rewarding experience.
