Essays

After school my dad and I started to finish up our essays. I have already started the five kwans which is going to take me a while since it is a five page essay. But we are still doing well through this cycle.

Empathy Training

Today I did my empathy training so I was mute for twelve hours. After one hour I felt like I could survive the whole day but after the second one, I just wanted to start talking. Well, all I can say is that I got it done. So now I complete another essay.

Homeschool

Today was a homeschool day so we got to sleep in. Usually, homeschool days are short but this one went really long. When I finally got done it was about 4:00 in the evening so I was not happy. I wish I could redo this entire day which would have helped me a lot better.

Black Belt Night

Tonight my soccer practice was canceled so I went to take class instead. I helped out in the family class to get a Leadership 1 because I am so low on them. For Black Belt Class we worked on the self defenses and poomsaes that we needed to know. It was a different night that helped me so I can keep myself going.

My Friends Birthday

Today was my friend Nolan's birthday. He had his party this weekend but we celebrated it again today. His party was really fun and we stayed up late. For his birthday we first went to Sports Connection and then went to his house. We played multiple of games there and he had a basketball game going on a screen in his yard. It went really well celebrating his birthday twice and I think he enjoyed it too.

The Resting

Yesterday we had the physical test which was pretty tough. Today after I had breakfast I went straight to requirements. I did all of them at once which made me really tired. Then, later I had a soccer game which made me more tired. I hope I get some rest tomorrow because I will probably need it.

School

Today for English class we are learning about poetry. For our project we have to pick out an event that has happened in our country and write different poems about it. Today we wrote a poem to help us figure out how write one. In Science we are studying about atoms and we use balls and we connect them to form different types of substances. Me and another kid in my group made a lot of different things with them. It was pretty fun getting to use them. But other than those things my day was normal and not much exciting things happened.

The Start

Today our grading guy was starting to put his machines out because he is going to dig us a pool. For his machines he has an excavator, a dump truck, and some other machines that help him get the job done. This is the second project he is doing for us and it is going to require some big machines. It takes him some time but he can get the job done, even with one person. I can't wait to see the pool in our backyard.

PE

Today we had PE and our teacher is Mrs. Ford who is also in my black belt class. We warmed up first and then started with games. We played bowling from a far distance outside. It was windy and we used dodge balls as bowling balls so the balls rolled off the path sometimes. They missed the two pins a lot so each round we got closer and closer to the bowling pins. The class was really fun and I can not wait to do it next week.

Exploring

Today during Nature Study class at school we got to go deep into the woods. It was cool and there were a lot of branches and trees that were dead. We came across a lot of rivers too so we had to jump over them. My teacher said that we will someday come back in the woods so that I am looking forward to that.

A Lot of Fire

Today after we cut down trees we burned them. The fire went on for a while and we kept supplying it with wood. During it burning our neighbor cut down another tree which was very dead. That was added to the fire and so was some pieces of cardboard. I also helped my dad drive a tractor to a pile to pick up logs of wood. Our neighbors were also burning wood that kept on going through the evening so this day has been filled with fires burning everywhere.

The Cookout

Today from the the evening to the night our neighbors had a cookout and invited us to it. They made chicken wings and corn on the cob. I had thirteen wings and two cobs of corn so my stomach was satisfied. After that we played ping pong and other games and soon had to go to bed to rest after a good night.

I Feel No Better

Ever since I got sick I have been sick I have never felt like that I have been getting better. I actually feel a little worse. My dad has tried a few things to help me but the next day I don't feel much better. Well, I hope I get done with it before the cycle is over if I am going to get through.

A Sick Day

Today I was very sick so I had to skip school. My sickness was terrible so I didn't feel right for entire day. I wish I could make myself better but I can't get rid of this awful sickness. I also had to skip Black Belt Class so my dad and brother went instead. If I could change this day entirely I would so that I would feel great.

A Very Sleepy Day

Ever since day light savings time came I have never felt awake. My classmates and I at school were all half awake and even my teachers were wishing they could go back to sleep. I think but at the end of the day a kid named Wes who wasn't here to show his project presented it to the class. It was really big and it worked almost perfectly. After that I started to wake up a little bit so at least I survived the day.

A Snowy Day

Today in the morning I woke up and was surprised to see the snow on the ground. Yesterday was really warm and today was snowing and that did not make any sense to me. But I enjoyed it and was very excited. We are also going to see a movie so this might be a weird day.

A Good Day of Rest

Today I slept in instead of waking up early for sparring because of soccer. My brother and dad had to get up though but I stayed in bed. I got up around 9:00 and had to eat breakfast and put my gear on. I lost my soccer game 8:2 and we were not very happy about the score. I can't wait for another day of the weekend tomorrow though.

A Free Day

Today I had no school so I had a free day. I woke up about 9:00 and had breakfast. After breakfast about 11:30 I helped my dad put logs onto a shelf so we can have a fire and stay warm. There were enough logs to last about a week. Also I am going to see a Hornets game with all of my school friends. I wish day could never end.

Coming Home

Today I was coming home from Instructors Camp. I was really tired from all of the late night training and slept in today. I left the hotel at 10:45 and it took about two hours and thirty minutes to get home. I slept for thirty minutes of the ride back which refreshed me a little. I can't wait to go to bed after staying up late for two nights.

A Good Day

Today was a regular day. I got my grades back on my quizzes and I did two miles today. I just need to catch up on my push-ups and sit-ups. Also my burpees are really low so I need to do a lot of those. But my running is getting better each day so that is at least going well. But overall, I had a pretty good day.

A Windy Day

Today was a very windy day. The morning was calm but after lunch it started getting aggressive. The outside door to my science room was flinging open and closed. Running is also tough when you are running against the wind. In the evening it has put an end to this windy day and is calm again, the it used to be.

Morning

This morning I went outside to do my run. First I got my rain coat on, then I headed out of the door right after I was finished tying my shoes. It wasn't too cold, but I could still feel a breeze in the air. After my run I ate some waffles that my mom made right when I came home. I couldn't wait to try her waffles. They were really good and I had two of them plus some bacon. I can't wait to see how this day will turn out.

Church

Today at church we talked about how God's creations are amazing and how he always planned for us to be on this planet. We also read a few verses from the Bible that talk about how amazing God's creations are. My teacher also said that God is so powerful that all he did was speak and everything appeared. I think that what he did was amazing because none of us can do what he did, we have to use our hands and work instead of speaking. I can't wait to hear more next week.

Church

Today at church when I got dropped off I went into a game room where everyone was having fun and playing games. about four people were playing video games and the rest were either watching, or doing something else like pool. Five minutes later we had to go so we walked into a room and had a seat. The room wasn't too big, but we could all fit in perfectly. There were lots of seats and I sat in the back row with some of the other sixth graders. After they showed us a quick video we headed to our other rooms and our teacher talked to us about people who believe in different things and how people have had to debate about their beliefs. Next I went to go to my mom and we went together into her church to hear the pastor preach. Then we picked up my brother,...

Another ra...

Another rainy day for a walk, not as I expected it to turn out. I wish that it didn't rain because then there wouldn't be so much mud on the ground. Luckily we wore our rain coats so most of our body would be protected from the rain. But even with all that rain I still enjoyed the walk with my mom and brother. I also can't wait for my dad to come home tomorrow. On our walk the ground was very muddy and I tried not to step in the mud, but at least I came prepared with my sandals so they can get wet and my tennis shoes would get wet so I also came prepared for that too. But besides all that my walk was pretty nice.

A Rainy Day

My final walk was with my mom and brother. My dad left to train at Myrtle Beach so he could get to level ten for Philippine Combative. I just can't wait for him to come home and tell me about what he did. So we started our walk and the rain stopped and we were just walking on the gravel talking and having a good time. We entered Canterbury Rd. where the gravel road was left behind. We started to climb the short hill then go straight. After that we entered Surry Rd. and when we got to the end we turned around but that's when it started to rain. My mom was not very happy but my brother was excited and started to run. We then all ran trying to get back to the house before the storm drenched us. We finally made it safely home after about .3 miles....

Leading Class

Tonight during black belt class I lead the first part of the warm-ups. I was very excited as I walked to the front of the class. I smiled a little while walking up and didn't feel nervous at all. I was ready to tackle this task and complete it to the end. I had a great time leading and used my loud voice to echo across the room so everyone could hear me. After I was finished I jogged back feeling proud of what I've done and thinking about that at the end of class I would get the requirement signed off.

Going Mute

Today I went mute for twelve hours. It felt like throwing words into a dumpster. Putting all of that knowledge and throwing out did of my brain like it's trash. It wasn't fun and during my home school with my dad I had so much things that I really wanted to say but I knew that I couldn't so, I did my best to keep quiet. In the morning I thought that it was just going to be really quick and just like that I'll be able to speak again, but I was wrong. It did not feel good at all. Now I understand why people with that sort of disability And why they feel bad about it because know I can relate to that type of style. Later on in the afternoon my dad found a board for me so I can write on it to communicate. I felt really...

Today was picture day for my school and we took our pictures in the morning. I wore my hope collared shirt while my other friends were wearing their church shirts. We went up to the hill to take our photos, I was fifth in line with Cooper while the other boys were in the back. When it was my turn I was a bit nervous but I stepped up the hill and he positioned me. He took four pictures and later on the other boys went. They were talking in line and the picture man was calling them a lot. Then we took a class picture and had to get back to class to find our math test waiting for us.

Going to a Friend's House

Today, after school I went to my friend's house. When we got there we took off our shoes, he had some nerf pistols out and I took one and started shooting it across the house. Then I found one of his other guns and it had two connected guns on it. I never saw a nerf gun like this before and put it back down to go outside. He also got one of the new types of scooters and let me try it out. It was hard but I figured it out. What you have to do is put your feet on these pads and swing your legs side to side to go forward. I went down the hill with the scooter and he also started to chase me while I was on it. Then I gave it to my friend, he was really good at it and moved very swiftly....

Church

This morning I went to my church for the second time and was still getting used to it. First we did in the morning was we played games on the x-box and foosball tables. Then we went to this center where we talked about what we were going to do today and up coming events. After that we I went with the middle school people to our room. We talked about how we should not judge the Bible and how we should know what were saying about it carefully because you should always make sure what you say is correct. Then we went downstairs to see our parents.

Walking with my family

During the evening my brother, mom, and I decided to go for a walk. We started walking at Oxford Dr. and went all the way to Surry Rd. We walked one mile from our house and back from Surry Rd. First when I entered the road Cooper, my neighbor's dog who lives across the street from me was waiting for me at his fence. Right when my foot hit the road he started barking at me like crazy. I walked past him glad he was out of the way. I also saw three more dogs up the street that were barking at us right after I caught up with my family because I was finishing my desert. When we got home I was so excited to be away from all of those loud barking dogs, a place to rest in my bed.

The poomsaes we worked on were Il Chang, Sam Chang, Oh Chang, and Pal Chang. I worked with him on pal Chang a little bit and taught him a little more things so he can be able to soon know the whole entire form. We also got through red belt self defenses until the session was over. I can't wait to see him tomorrow.

At school ...

At school today we started playing four square with my friends for recess. I was third in line and was ready to play, when I was first in line I waited for someone to get out. It didn't. Take very long and I even got into king. I served it to a kid named Tony and he served it to Ryan who was in Queen. Ryan got out that round and Tony moved up to Queen. Then he got me out. I stepped into the back of the line and waited to be first again. Before I was hoping to play soccer but instead we started up four square. I wonder what we will do tomorrow.

We decided to play four square but Maddie stole the ball and deflated it. We started to chase her to get the ball and put it in the chicken coop. After that I went home to eat dinner.

Today my brother Trent and I were doing a project and were trying to see how many pennies we can put onto a tin foil boat that he made. We kept using 16 pennies as our amount and every time our ship would sink. It was an interesting experiment to try and we also tried other ideas for boats too. I hope that we will be able to do this experiment again.

Being home schooled

Today I had home school. I'm only home schooled on Wednesdays and Fridays, for the other days I go to my regular place for school. For home school our teachers give us a paper that has all of my subjects and what I have to do for them. I already finished them and it wasn't too challenging. I like to work by myself sometimes because it's quiet when no ones around. My last subject that I had to do was science, it's one of my hardest subjects but at least I got through.

Working for a neighbor

Today I was helping my neighbor by shoveling gravel rocks from a trailer into some buckets. Then he dumps the buckets of gravel onto a tarp and keeps filling the tarp up until its covered in gravel. I also got some help from my brother and my friends. Together we shoveled all the gravel into the buckets and the buckets start to fill up the tarp. It took about 1-hour to finish the job. After the work we were exhausted and took a brake feeling good that we finished something.

The trip

I was on a cruise ship called the Princess, we traveled to Alaska on it. Princess has a lot of pools and hot tubs. There's lots of places to eat and you can also watch movies. The movie I watched was the Age of Ultron. It was my third time seeing it but instead of watching it at the movies it was on a cruise ship. I hope that will go on another cruise later on.

We also crossed from the river to the other side. Then my brother, Trent was missing so we hiked back up calling his name. We found him in my friend's back porch. After that it was time to go back to our regular house.
