Candidate Journals

Today i went to school and black belt class and we did stick form 2 and staff form 2. Goodnight.

Today I woke up and I was super sick.. I haven't been able to do much today because I have a pretty big headache. I've been laying down for most of the day but I'll catch back up some time.

I was thinking about my old training partner Joe today and how he always used to say "Happy Friyea" on Fridays. I hadn't seen him in a while, so I was happy when he walked in the door for BB class tonight.  I left work early today and rucked almost 4.5 miles with a 20 lb. pack. There wasn't enough time to nap before class, so I picked up my boys and then ran back home for a shower and a Ghost energy drink.  The Ghost woke me up but also left me hyper during class - too much caffeine. Class was great though; Master Natasya led us through several of the weapons forms. Now I'm crashing so it's off to bed. I'm looking forward to tomorrow's training and the self-defense seminar in the afternoon.   

Today was chill.  I helped with a class and went to football practice.

Today I went to school and had to present a project which I don’t think I did to bad and I had a quiz in history that was really hard. After school I did my requirements and watched a movie. Now I’m going to sleep. 

Today i went to school and I got my clairenet for band. Then I went to king tiger after school.  I helped out with little tigers class and then I took black belt class.  That's it bye.

Today was mostly about dance. First I woke up and went to school. Then after that I went home and ate a snack then went directly to my dance class. It was supposed to be from 5:30 to 7:00 but my dance teacher went over time by 1 HOUR so it actually ended at 8:00. After that I ate dinner and watched tv.

Today at school it was pretty fun because fridays are mostly super chill. This week of school was mostly to get the freshman warmed up so we were doing a lot of group activities with them. We have been doing this one activity where we had to build little cars that could be pushed by wind from a fan. Today was the final testing day and ours did not do very well but it was very fun to watch everyones cars and how creative they were with their designs. In the end the car that went the farthest had probably the most simple design out of the rest. Also I did a push up competition against a junior named Addy. We had to do as many push ups as we could in 1 minute and she got 28 and i got somewhere around 25 but I lost count. After that we...

Hi today It was my second day of school it was so fun after school I went to king tiger on the van then I did my requirements I'm good at my sit ups and I helped out with two classes it was so fun then I did BBC well that's all byyy.

Practiced all my Poomsae and Self Defense for today just to prep for tmr. Took a good nap and got in a 4 mile run this morning.

Hi, today was an okay day. Nothing special. I woke up and relaxed for little while. I did my requirements before I went to class. Today I had black belt and sparring. Both classes were good. We did staff forms, sticks, and other drills.  I did a mentor session with Master Foster and two other people. We went over 1st dan special and self defense.  I hurt my heel in sparring. My mom is going to let me soak it in some kind of salt. I hope everybody had a good day and has a good one tomorrow. 

Today was the solemnity of the Feast of the assumption of Mary so we went to mass. It was a much better day than yesterday. I'm feeling like I'm getting out of my funk a little bit. Looking forward to the teacher meeting that we have tomorrow for our co-op.

Today is Friday and black belt class we worked on weapons. tomorrow is the self defence seminar.

Today was my second day of school and I love my science teacher and she had us do a worm experiment and it was really fun and after that I went to black belt class.

Finally, schools done for 2 days and I get to sleep in. Got to head to taekwondo tomorrow. Hope yall had a good week.

Today I went to school and we had to sign in to our chromebooks which was pretty fun, after that we had some free time for about 1 hour and 20 minutes. Then I went to my dads house and tried to ride a bike for the first time ever then I did my requirements. Also I got my school 5th grade folder. But today was perfect.

We are a the beach so its a little hard to get all of my requirements done so I will have to make some up (pull ups/rolls/falls)  when we get home. But today I did get in 2 miles. We have been going to the beach and swimming in the pool. I also beat my dad at giant Jenga

tipping culture exists because of sobriety movments. The sobriety movments that led to prohabition led to resturants losing revenue. This is  a problem because servers still need to eat. So people were encouraged to tip to save resturaunt owners from paying people livable wages. Now you see what I meant.

Today I went with my upper school to the white-water center, we had lots of fun and got really wet. We came back to the school for the back-to-school bash, and we played one big game of Manhunt. I have finished all of my requirements.

first friday of this school year, pretty normal nothing cool about it. just finished some requirements and im off to black belt class so yeah.

I didn't run yesterday so I am hoping to do one today. We are leaving Florida tomorrow so hopefully we will get our schedule right.

It's been a few days since I have journaled, so I will summarize. I've been to 2 classes per day, and also have had some good mentoring sessions and sessions with a mentee this week. I've been keeping up with requirements, and today I will go to balck belt class. Looking forward to the weekend because my work has been busy, and it's been a little difficult getting everything completed. Happy Friday!

I am ready for the weekend, this week has been super busy for me. Balancing, work , the cycle and school has been difficult. Some how I have made it to Friday eve. On Friday I plan to go to Harrisburg for their black belt class again to get ahead. I saw an email from Master Chelly that we have a self defense seminar at my Dojang on Saturday, so I also plan on being at that. I am trying to rack up all the extra credit and experience's  that I can. 

I dragged myself out of bed to do workouts, did my Chinese online lesson for the day, worked on essays, and then went to work. Work was a lot today, with afterschool starting and my voice starting to go away, so I couldn't talk as loud as I am used to. At home I ate some BBQ before doing more essay work and sitting down to play Fortnite. So far, I am not a fan of this season, but I have only played three games, so I will judge it more thoroughly whenever I get the time to do so.

pretty nice day, went to school, nothing the unusual, got home did some requirements and yeah, thats pretty much all i did today, pretty boring. 

August 14 - Entry # 10 I forgot to do my journal entry the past couple days with school starting. But, I had my first day of sixth grade so im officially a middle schooler. I was a little nervous but it went pretty good. I made a friend in class already. His name is Landon too. Had sparring class today. Still trying to kick this cold so now im taking some meds and going to bed.

Today was my last first day of school, im super stoked for senior year. i only have 3 HS classes and th erest are at RCCC. today i went and helped with testing, then afterwards i came home. then me and my mom went to get pizza. requirements arent great as usual, but only because im tired.

Today has been pretty exhausting. Haven't been feeling very well and this morning all three of my kids and myself cried trying to deal with school stuff. It's just been one of those weeks....

Light day today, got both leadership credits. Master Evins even let me end class!

Today I woke up later than I had planned. After I got ready, I went with my dad and my dog to his grooming appointment. It didn’t end so well because they said his fur was too matted. Anyways after I came back I sat for while and then got started on my requirements. I finished everything except the run. I had food and rested for a while before doing my run. I’ve lately been doing runs outside around my neighborhood and they are a lot more enjoyable. After I chilled for a while and played with my dog. I just had a shower and am going to have dinner.

Today I had to go the doctor and I have to get an MRI soon so that should be fun. I had to go to school and when I got home I had to work on homework. I got to take a break from homework while I went to sparring and that was fun. I finished my homework and now I’m going to bed. 

Long day again at work, but got up and went to the gym, hit lots of pull ups on the machine to help me. My back can really feel it today. We had sparring tonight, I enjoy the high energy of the class and am not nearly as exhausted as I used to be!

Today was a normal day but also kind of busy. So first I woke up for school then we just set up our stuff again and we are learning in math. After that i came home had a snack did my requirements and did my dance practice. After that I went for a walk and played volleyball then I did my homework and watched tv.

Today was my birthday. I didn't really do much today i just went to school and everyone kept singing me happy birthday. Somehow though, that many people didn't sing at lunch because they already did it in the morning. Anyways we didnt really do much at school we actually started learning stuff in math and history but in english we had to watch videos and stuff about how to behave in the college building because last year a lot of kids were being disrespectful and apparently someone pushed a bunch of chairs together and took a nap in the middle of class. Anyways after school i came home and did my requirements and then played volleyball in my driveway with my friends for a little bit and then i had violin class and we worked on a bunch of new pieces and then after that i showered and ate dinner and...

Today was my first day of school, it was alright I got to know a lot about my new teachers and stuff.

Today I got up and I went to school and we didn’t do much again and after school I went home and I did some requirements and I rested and I went to help with testing and that was good. After that I went to run and now I am home and I just ate dinner. Goodnight.

Today I helped at a sparing class and have finished the fifth day of my nutrition challenge.

today has been interesting. I got into an argument over washing clothes for some reason. I also found out that my friend lives 3 miles away from me & we have never met before school. Sometimes things get lost over time & I don't like it. in all fairness I have a tendancy to hoard things so I should just let it go.

Someone mentioned to me that they were nervous about the tea ceremony because they don't like the taste of tea! Well, for her and all the other Bochos, I say don't worry. Sure, it's not boba tea, but it will be plenty sweetened by the pride of your accomplishments. When you're tired and feeling beat up, dig deep and keep going. Check every box, complete every requirement and leave your blood, sweat and tears on the mat. If you do, I promise you will have no problem drinking that tea.   

Today I went to an open house for school and got my new Chromebook.  That’s it.

Today I went to band and I have to practice all my song for band. We are doing welcome to the jungle by guns and roses. That is the one that I am really having a hard time with. After practicing I went to go do my requirements.

today I woke up went to tkd and helped out with the camp. Then when I got home I watched tv and ate the rest of my lunch. Then I went back to tkd and did sparring. Night!

I woke up and went to school.  I switched classes and the teachers  mixed some students. After school I went to king tiger after school and helped out with classes.  That's it bye.

So today I guess the main thing about the day or really the two main things about the day  were my appointment which was actually virtual today it was interesting and fit for some reason seemed to take a lot longer than usual but the other mainish thing about the day was I mean I write Main but it's not really mean it's just I helped out with a class and we had tacos for dinner🌮🌮🌮🌮🌮

Today there was no class because of belt testing so I relaxed and worked on requirements. I was able to get them done early in the day. I also worked on my nutrition challenge essay and finished it. I plan to start the mission statement one tomorrow so I can be done with them all before school starts. I do not want to think about school. I'm glad I have one more week of break left. I hope everybody has a good night. Bye:)

Hey yall, just got done getting ready for bed, the belt testing for harrisburg went pretty well and I got a mentee session in during it. Well gn everyone

Hi today Iit was my first day of school I was a little nervous but also excited then I went out side did my requirements my friends were very interested so I let them join but we made a game out of it then I went on the bus to king tiger then I did leadership and sparing well thats all byyy.

today was my first day at school and I met a lot of my classmates, It was a half-day today and tomorrow we are going white water rafting at the white water center from 8 to 5. I have finished all my requirements and I'm getting ready for bed.

It's been a difficult past two days because I just started school again. But I'm getting through it. Tomorrow I have to leave early for a soccer game all the way up in Fayetteville. I'm also staying overnight because my team has another game on Saturday. But, tonight I got two leadership credits and did sparring class. That's about it. I got a busy day tomorrow. 

Today was so good at school today I heard from my ELA teacher that we have a test tommorow and im super worried. But anyways after school I went to my dads house for like 20 minutes or so but then I went to Taekwondo and finished my white belt challenge and im so happy. Then I went to my moms house and showered then did my requirements. Today was awesome.

I woke up got my requirements done early, my mom took my sister to cheerleading practice. I take the trash out. Now I watch TV.

Today was a normal Thursday. I keep thinking it's Friday. But anyway, one more day until the weekend. I’m going to help with testing today. Those days are the best days of Taekwondo. And today at school we did a LOT. A lot of running. We ran around both of the schools TWICE. And we ran up and down the stairs twenty times. It was crazy.

Just a normal day of working and mixing in requirements between meetings.  5-10 minutes when I got a chance.  I've got a bit more to do, so will knock those out after dinner.      

In Florida today visiting my grandmother. Hopefully I will be able to run and do all my exercises today. 

It still rained a little bit, but it was overall nice outside when I went out to do my morning run. Today I worked on double stick form 2, the one form I am still trying to figure out at this point, and I can finally log my stuff on the site! Hopefully it won't take too long to update all of the hard work I've put in over the past few weeks. I'll see y'all tomorrow!

Today I again focused more on studying and written work. 

Life has just been insane since we returned from the beach. We had our first day of school on Monday and then yesterday out of work and it was rainy and it was awful and I'm so exhausted and thankfully my photo shoot this morning had to be rescheduled because of the rain as well. So we actually got to stay home all day and I was very excited that my friend and I from our homeschool co-op were able to sit down and really hash out lesson plans for the rest of the year. Is it really true that we're only 3 and 1/2 weeks into this? Ugh.

It’s 10:30 pm. I got up at six to take my oldest to school and then worked all day. I got my requirements done in between meetings as usual. I had a session with my mentees in the evening. The mats were full so we went outside and worked through bolo in the parking lot. Afterwards, I worked on PMAA with big Matthew. I stopped at the grocery store, made dinner for the family and then started working. I’m taking a break to write this journal. This is a typical day, non-stop from the time I wake up until the time I get in bed. There are no rest days on the cycle. I want to slide into home plate at the end of the cycle exhausted, beat up and fulfilled. 

Today was not a great day. I got to school not feeling great and during second period I passed out. The rest of the day was pretty chill though so that was good. When I got to taekwondo I just helped with the sparring class because I did not feel like passing out again. Now I’m gonna go to sleep. 

Today I had a doctors appointment for 7th grade after that I went to soccer practice then I went home and showered and got ready for bed.

Today did BBC then came home did more requirements and am now going to bed

Today we had a football scrimmage.  It was cool.  We won!  But that’s it. 

Today I had school and it was ok but after school I chilled and did some requirements and I went to youth group after that and then I went to run and now i am home and I am about to go to bed. Goodnight.

Today I was my first day of school 🏫.  I had a half day because we only took a tour of the day . We talked about rules. Then i rode the king tiger 🐅 bus with only me and Olivia (my friend).I didn't really have a group.  Well that's it's bye.

Pretty non taekwondo day. Got up and worked out but had to get to work early and stay late, didn’t get everything done today, gotta catch up tomorrow. 

Hi today I woke up and started my requirements I did my push-ups I'm getting good at push-ups then I went to play with my friends then I went to TKD I helped  out and did leadership then I I went to church well byy.

Today was a good day. I got up earlier than normal so I did requirements early. I was able to start one of my last essays off. Later my mom came back from work to finish it at home so I just relaxed, a guy from spectrum came to help us change our wifi to a faster speed. He came late since spectrum told him to visit here right before his lunch started. So by the time he finished class was almost halfway done so my mom just said hat we can get a smoothie and come back home. Now I am just relaxing for the rest of the night. Bye. :)

Today was a normal day. First I woke up and I ran. Then I got ready for school and then on the bus my friend kept taking my phone and texting random people mostly my sister. Then at school we didn't really do anything we just like set up our stuff like our notebooks and our binders and we started learning in math but that's it and then we had a fake fire drill. After that I came home I took a bath and ate a snack then did my requirements and did my dance practice then I want to taekwondo and took class.

We have a new dlc for postal: brain damaged which is nice. I had a converstaion about skyrim today. I have a new idea for what i'm gonna do with my fo4 instalation & i'm gonna make the game run better. excues the grammar & spelling i am terribly sleep deprived. have a nice day.

Today we went to our orientations and met our teachers, It was split up into two times of the day, my brother and sister went first, then we had lunch, then me and my stepbrother since we are in upper-school. after orientations we went home and my dad got dressed before taking me my younger brother, and my sister to Carowinds. Then we came home and I got all my requirements done before going to bed.

Today was a lot like yesterday aside from the fact that I finally got my 3d printer working after like 6 months and I’m gonna sell some stuff at school when it starts. I’m making a website right now for my prints. I also did more running and biking today and I went to 2 classes and learned bolo. At around 8 I had sushi for dinner and now I’m going to bed.

Today I woke up went to school which was pretty good, after school I went home and got ready for taekwondo. I went to my brothers shin kickers class, and most of the time I was working with Libby, but after the shin kickers I stayed for the drills for skills class, and then we went to food lion and got some stuff. And ate dinner at home. Overall today was pretty good. 

Yesturday I went to my moms work and we got free lunch and dessert after that we went to taekwondo. Today I went to my first day of 5th grade and it was pretty fun. After that we went to taekwondo then the gym.

Today was my first day of school. I woke up early and got done with some of my requirements but I didn't have time to run. Then I took a shower and ate breakfast and went to my bus stop. The bus ride wasn't that bad because its only 30 minutes in the morning. That might seem like a lot to some people but last year it was almost an hour and a half long. Anyways once we got to school we did the senior walk thing which is basically everyone lines up outside the college building and the seniors walk out of it and we clap and cheer for them. I can't believe a lot of people i know are already seniors and soon they will be gone and going off to college or whatever they decide to pursue. After that we did this thing called connections which is basically...

Today i woke up went to the gym then took a shower I watched a movie and played a bored game the went to tkd Nightt!

My day was good  Before I went to my school I did my burpees and push-ups, and sit-ups. After school I did my two mile run. I completed my two mile run in 33:25 and after that I did my pull-ups and planks poomsaes and kicks I was exhausted after all of that my day was tiring.

I woke up got ready for school waited for the bus and that stared my first day of 7th grade it was pretty boring in reading boring in  career exploration and some what boring in science an very boring in math but now we are going to learn tomorrow right now I'm so tired but I was happy I could talk to my friends and get to see them.

Today I went to school like. I went home and ate and did my black belt requirements. I’m gonna run after. Not much to talk about. Saturday I’m going to the self-defense seminar at Lakenorman. Pretty sure Avery and Parker are going too. I would be seeing them three days in a row if they go. So that will be fun. But yeah about to run. And get it over with.

Today I made good use of my time by getting my homework done for school. After I was done with my homework I went to the gym and worked my arms too hard and almost threw up but I pulled my self together and did my requirements. After my requirements I went to go help out at TKD.

I JUST WANT TO MOW MY LAWN!!!  It's so water logged I can't do it.  It's long, it needs a cut, but this rain won't let me.     As for TKD - I've been working on my book report, and it's been a LONG time since I wrote one of those.  It's not going well, but I'll get it done.  

Today I did a one-mile walk with my dad. I hope I will get in all my exercises in before we leave for Florida.

Today started off interesting, I somehow hurt my thumb and toe yesterday in black belt class. It was stiff for majority of the day, which was not easy, due the fact I type all day long. I pushed through  the unpleasant feeling and knocked out my requirements. Tuesdays are my longest days at the Dojang. I got there early to assist with a senior tigers class, took the teen and adult class and then PMAA to finish the night out. I will not be able to go to the Dojang tomorrow for class, so I will need to make up one sparring credit. 

I went to the gym early in the morning today to get my requirements finished off. I’ve been pushing myself on the treadmill but it’s getting a little scary now. After I ate breakfast, I finished another one of my essays. I ended up writing 4 pages instead of 1. I have trouble paraphrasing. Then I cleaned my room for the next couple of hours. Then I went to my tae kwon do class and had dinner.

today was super tiring, another boring day at school, nothing much had happened other then going to taekwondo though.

Today I did a lot of cardio, in total I’ve done 6 miles on bike and 2 miles running. Aside from that, I went to class and helped out and did leadership. After all that I’m pretty tired..

Light day, took off TKD to gets some studying in and write some more on my essays. Also took 2 naps!

Today I read some more of my required book and did my requirements. My mom took me to KT and I had a session with my mentee and then went home for dinner. Then we went back to KT so I could lead warmups and help with class. When I got home I watched Dr Stone with my mom while I ran on the treadmill. 

Today I had to go to school and it was fine but after school I have to wait for my brother in my dad’s classroom and I literally passed out. So I went home and didn’t go to taekwondo. That was my day. 

Today was a good day, My mom did work at home so I stayed home from camp so I did requirements early. Some people came to check our roof and said everything is fine. After that I went downstairs and did my mile then started talking to friends. My dog went to the vet so she was tired the whole day, she wouldn't let the vet cut her nails though so my mom got some money back. I finished up my requirements after my mom got off of work. Now I am just relaxing. Goodnight! :)

Woke up this morning, very tired, went back to sleep until 12. My mom told me to do my essay about my hero. I decide not to and took a nap. She obviously got mad and had me sit downstairs at the kitchen/dinner table to get me to finish my essay. I get three-fourths of the way done and had to drop off my sister at her cheer practice. Afterwards I got ready for my taekwondo practice and was able to help in the class before mine. I worked with my mentee, did class, and went home. I finish my requirements and now I'm going to finish my essay. Goodnight!

Got up for the gym, did a mile and the workout. Lots of abs today, I wasn’t planning on going to TKD today but I don’t think illake it tomorrow so I want for 2 classes, I had hoped for a mentee or mentor session but didn’t get it. Not many instructors tonight, so I’m glad we went to help.

Today I went to football.  It was a rough practice.  No O line.  I’m tired and going to bed.

Today I woke up, I had breakfast then I chilled for a bit then I went to my schools open house then I went to taekwondo after I did my requirements.

today I am working on my white belt challenge it was interesting to see how much they learn everyday

Today I had my first football practice and I am super tired. today was movie day we watched. 🙂= search+shift+space

Today I woke up at 7 am to run a mile, then I went to a doctors appointment. We then went home for dinner then taekwondo, then came home and did another mile. I have completed all my requirments.

today i woke up did my requierments  and ate breakfast then i went to the mall with my grandpa went back home built so lego and went to taekwondoe for class came home to get ready for my first day of 7th grade.

Today was pretty fun, I had my second day of middle school which was pretty fun. After school I went home to home and did my requirements. After that I got ready for taekwondo. I just went to a black belt class tho, but I got BBC weekday, class leadership, and a mentor session, so thats good. After taekwondo we went to Pizza Hut, and we got mini pizzas that were delicious! Then I went home and went to bed. 👍🏻😀

So today was a little weird and kind of lazy school- wise because I'm homeschooled and we also have a co-op that's going to be starting in a week or two I think and it's actually 2 days a week instead of the usual one so we kind of have two off days for now and apparently we just used one but anyway I still managed to catch up on the things that I didn't quite finish yesterday and at this point I'm getting a little bit annoyed at myself because I have not been doing journal entries a lot which I definitely should be doing but in the evening we went to help out at Belmont and then we took the black belt class and I think I got plenty of practice in but anyway I think that's about it 👋👋👋

Today was a normal day. My mom wasn’t late at the bus stop. And I didn’t go to taekwondo. Today in the weight room, it was leg day. I squatted 120 in 15 reps in 4 sets. But I’m not as sore as the first day I squatted. But I'm still sore. I ran extra so I didn’t have to run as much this week. So I'm probably going to not run as much today.
