Tara and the Sky High Kick

6 min 45 sec

Tara tied her white belt with careful fingers, her heart drumming like a parade drum.
She was only seven, but her dreams stretched taller than the school roof.

Every afternoon she hurried to the community center where Master Kim greeted students with a bow and a gentle smile.
Tara bowed back, then raced to the far corner to practice her front kicks.

She kicked once, twice, three times, imagining each kick brushing the ceiling tiles.
Master Kim watched quietly, nodding when her knee lifted higher than yesterday.

After class he said, "A strong tree grows slowly, but its roots grow deep."
Tara nodded, though she secretly wished trees could rocket skyward overnight.

That night she stood on her bed, kicking at glow in the dark stars stuck to her ceiling.
Mom peeked in, laughing softly.

"Bedtime, sky warrior," she whispered, tucking Tara beneath a blanket printed with crescent moons.
Tara closed her eyes and pictured herself leaping above rooftops, her foot tapping clouds like fluffy drums.

The next day she arrived early, tying her belt even tighter.
She practiced kicks while other kids chatted.

Her friend Leo asked if she wanted to play tag, but Tara shook her head.
"I need to kick higher than the sky," she explained, eyes shining.

Leo scratched his head, then shrugged and ran off.
Tara kicked again, feeling her muscles burn pleasantly.

Master Kim clapped hands for class to begin.
They practiced forms, stepping carefully across mats like moving puzzles.

Tara kept her back straight, her arms sharp.
When they broke for water, she noticed a poster taped to the wall announcing the Spring Tournament.

Tiny stars decorated the border.
Her stomach fluttered like a kite.

She had never competed before, but the words "High Kick Challenge" glowed inside her mind.
She drank quickly, then returned to the mat, determined.

Weeks passed like swift clouds.
Tara kicked every day, measuring progress by the wall mirror.

She drew a tiny pencil mark each time her foot rose higher.
The marks climbed like brave inchworms toward the mirror frame.

One afternoon Master Kim knelt beside her.
"Tournament day approaches," he said gently.

"Remember, the goal is not to beat others, but to better yourself."
Tara nodded, though she still pictured her kick soaring past the moon.

At home she practiced balancing on one foot while brushing her teeth.
She kicked while waiting for dinner, careful not to knock over the salt shaker.

Mom cheered each tiny improvement, clapping when Tara kicked above the kitchen chair backs.
Even Dad, who usually watched sports, paused to admire her determination.

"You've got springs in your shoes," he teased, ruffling her hair.
Tara grinned, then kicked again, her foot whistling through the air.

The night before the tournament she felt nervous butterflies.
She packed her uniform, her belt rolled neatly.

She could hardly eat her spaghetti, swirling noodles into shy spirals.
Mom squeezed her shoulder.

"Your best is always enough," she promised.
Tara nodded, but sleep came slowly, tiptoeing like a cautious cat.

She dreamed of standing on a mountain peak, kicking so high that her foot painted stars across the sky.
Morning arrived sunny and bright.

At the community center, colorful banners fluttered overhead.
Kids from nearby dojos stretched and chatted.

Tara found Leo; he was competing too.
They compared belt colors and shared shy smiles.

Master Kim gathered their team, speaking calmly about courage and respect.
Tara's heart thundered, but she bowed with the others, palms sliding against thighs.

When her division was called, she stepped onto the mat, knees trembling.
The judge, a kind woman with silver hair, explained rules.

Tara listened, nodding.
She performed her basic kicks first, snapping her leg forward, back, then roundhouse.

Each kick felt strong, but she wondered if they reached high enough.
Then came the creative portion.

Tara inhaled deeply, remembering every practice moment.
She began slowly, balancing, then launched upward.

Her foot traveled higher than ever before, brushing past her shoulder, past her head, past the top of her imagination.
Time seemed to stretch like taffy.

She landed softly, bowed, and stepped back.
Applause rippled through the room.

Master Kim beamed.
Tara felt lighter than air.

When scores appeared, she saw she had earned second place.
A shiny silver medal hung around her neck.

Leo won third and hugged her proudly.
Tara grinned so wide her cheeks hurt.

Later, she stood outside beneath the bright blue sky.
She lifted her medal, watching sunlight dance across its surface.

Though she hadn't reached the literal sky, she felt her kicks touch something bigger.
Master Kim approached, placing a gentle hand on her shoulder.

"The sky isn't a place you reach," he said softly.
"It's a feeling you carry."

Tara understood.
She kicked once more, her heart soaring higher than any foot could fly.

She realized every practice, every tiny improvement, had lifted her spirit beyond the clouds.
From that day on, Tara kept practicing, not to touch the sky, but to feel its endless height inside her chest.

And whenever friends asked how high she could kick, she smiled and said, "High enough to carry my dreams."
They would laugh and clap, begging to see.

Tara would bow politely, balance steady, then kick, letting her foot write promises across the air.
Sometimes Leo tried to match her height, sometimes new students watched with wide eyes.

Tara encouraged them all, sharing Master Kim's wisdom about growing strong like trees.
At night she still pasted glow stars on her ceiling, but now they reminded her of possibilities rather than distant goals.

Mom tucked her in, whispering, "Sleep well, sky dancer."
Tara drifted into dreams where she floated among constellations, each star a small victory she had earned.

And every morning she woke ready to kick higher than yesterday, knowing the real sky lived within her brave heart.
