This blog is actually an apology. Specifically to Sifu Rybak. During class on Thursday (IHC), I asked her a question. It wasn't the question I need to apologize for but the way I asked the question. I started my question by saying "I already know the answer to this". As soon as those words had left my stupid mouth I knew I had screwed up, big time. I know better than this, or so I thought.
Both Master Brinker and Sifu Rybak have talked about this before. And I have listened, I swear I have. I had just asked my question in a way that looked like I was wanting validation, like I knew better than my instructor. This couldn't have been farther from the truth, honestly, I didn't know the answer. So where did this come from? I was asking a question I truly wanted an answer to, I wasn't trying to be leading with my question. As soon as the words had left my mouth I knew my question was now in question. I wasn't asking a question I was questioning my instructor. It was my ego asking the question, looking for validation. I was so flustered with myself I don't even remember the answer, so I didn't just screw up my question, I wasted an opportunity to learn.
While I am mad at myself for doing this, I am glad I have realize the severity of my mistake. So my apologize to Sifu Rybak, I did not mean for it to seem like I was questioning you, I will endevour to ask my questions properly from here on in. And to learn from my question.
