Sahbunim

For every ten thousand students that join a Tae Kwon Do class, half will drop out the first month. Of that five thousand, half will remain through the second month. Of those remaining students, one thousand will complete six months of training and then quit. Five hundred will study for a year, but only one hundred will see their second anniversary. Three will make First Degree Black Belt, but only one shall go on to teach others what he/she has learned. For Tae Kwon Do is now a part of his/her life and he/she shall go on to share this life with others. 

This person is a Sahbunim

         Think about it, he/she is one in ten thousand?
