Question

my assignments id been so nervous at my first class, but anika sensei had said hello to me and dad and hadnt cared that neither of us really looked her in the eye. she showed us how to do forward rolls, and it looked so cool, with her arms in a big curve and her head tucked in as she rolled. everything was really hard at first, but everything also made sense. at school i have to do math problems the teachers way even if theres a much easier way that works just as well, which makes no sense at all, but at the dojo were always taught to do aikido in a way that works and feels good. it was pretty obvious that anika sensei and the other black belts really liked doing aikido together, even though they all did it kind of differently from each other. maybe that was why aikido was great. doing aikido felt awesome, partly because you have to do aikido with other people. mom and dad say stuff to me like \we love you, beautiful boy\ at random moments, and saying \i love you, beautiful aikido\ would be the weirdest, most awkward thing a person could say in life, but it was kind of how i felt anyway. i did love aikido, it was beautiful, and brandon sensei felt the same way about it as i did. paragraphs 202 - 203 question 14. write: how do steves thoughts in these paragraphs contribute to the storys plot?
