Persistence

Pride seems to radiate off 33-year-old Craig Hafner of Harbor Springs as he stands, dressed in white, carefully tying on his black belt. A smile spreads across his face as he makes sure the belt is tied correctly.

Although it’s just another Friday night practice at the American Taekwondo Association Black Belt Academy, Hafner takes extra care with his new black belt, inscribed with his name and the word "persistence." After all, it took Hafner, who was born with Down Syndrome, five years to earn the top level tae kwon do belt.
