14 MORE DAYS TILL TESTING. PRACTICING REALLY HARD AND I AM REALLLY NERVOUS. I had a good day and I cannot wait till tomorrow for BBC. See you guys tomorrow.

Today Master Chelley needed a lot of help. A lot of instructors were not here. She e mailed everyone and a ton of people showed up to help. It was a fun class. I took the family class after and I worked on pow gue. I did not have a lot of home work so I could have stayed longer. See you guys tomorrow.

Today I went outside and played with my friends. I was doing some of my requirements outside. I had a good day I can't wait for next weekend. See you guys tomorrow.

I am soooo happy with the score that I got on my written test(105). I beat all of my scores from last time but I wish that I could have done better. I feel like I could have done better. I was really nervous about today. Throughout the whole day I had butterflies in my stomach and I was nervous. I felt like i was not doing well enough and I feel like I was going to pass out. I am happy with what I got today but I feel like I could have done better. How do you guys feel you did and what did you think and feel??? See you guys tomorrow.

Today I served soup at my church. I was upset that I had to miss Black Belt class. Make sure everything is done for tomorrow. It is 11:56 and I am rushing so I can do this journal on time so it is short. See you guys tomorrow.

Today I took sparring class helped out with Wang ho. In sparring class I felt like my kicks were stronger than they have before. I am getting better and better every day. I hope you guys are keeping up with your requirements and practicing/studying for Saturday. See you guys tomorrow!!

Today I took kick boxing and adult class. In adult class I found out that we do not need to know some of the things that that I have already learned. That is a good and bad thing. It is a good thing because it is one less thing that we need to practice, the bad thing is that we could have been doing something else or practicing something else instead of doing that. In adult class we also practiced pow gwe. I think I have everything down pat that we need to know. I also took j=kick boxing. I took kick boxing even though I am already done with my sparring rounds. I enjoy kick boxing a lot. See you guys tomorrow!!

Today I went to hyper pro. we took class outside and it was really nice out and it was fun. We practiced black belt stuff most of the time and Instructor Marcus taught me something new about Keoping. After that I helped out with the family class and got a leadership credit and a mentee session in. I had fun today and I hope you guys did too. See you guys tomorrow and Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!!

Today I helped out with a family class. I was really fun and I taught someone how to do Chagi Sool. I had a really good and exciting day. I really do not know why but I have been. How was your day??? See you guys tomorrow.

I am solo happy. I made it through the mute day and did not have to restart. I felt like I cannot speak today or else I will have to start over but I can talk. How did your empathy training go??? See you guys tomorrow.

Today I went to black belt class and we practiced wang ho, basic forms, and stick/staff forms. After that I took sparring and we practiced back leg roundhouse kick then a "headshot". Both of those classes were really fun but I had a struggle. My struggle was being mute. I still need to be mute now but in class I thought I was doing everything wrong because I was not keoping. It is really hard not to talk and not to comment on peoples ideas. I cannot wait till I can talk. So far I am doing well with it and I have not had to start over. See you guys tomorrow.

Today I went to black belt class and we had a new person join us that got their Bo Cho Dan yesterday. His name was Mr. Hutchinson (Davis's Dad) and he new most of the basic forms before he started.

It was really fun because we got to help. She did really good and earned her high green belt. Are you guys going to help out with testing???? See you guys tomorrow!!!

Today I took kick boxing and I got 20 sparring rounds in. Also I got a mentor, mentee, and leadership 1 in today. I am in the green for everything except mentor and mentee(I am in the yellow).

Today at my house the people from LKN came over and we went over our study guide/test answers so we know we would pass the test. It counted as a mentor session and it was really fun.

Today I took a hyper pro class and we also practiced some black belt stuff in that class. We got a lot of rolls and falls in. Today was my second day of the whit belt challenge. It was not as bad as yesterday because I took hyper pro with my white belt and helped out with the next class. I got both leaderships in and a.mentors session. The only thing I need to get caught up on is mentor and mentee sessions. I go to class a lot and I do not know how I am behind on those. I go to class almost everyday and most of the time I take 2 or 3 classes in a day. Did you guys already do your white belt challenge??? If you did how was it??? Did you like it and how did you feel??? See you guys tomorrow.

Today I had my first day of the white belt challenge. It was ok, I like being a black belt better because you can do more stuff. I thought it was kind if boring to do the same thing over and over again. It is nice to be a black belt because you can do more things. It was weird being in the back of the line. Also , I got a leadership 1 credit in and a meter session in. I had a great day and I hope you did to. See you guys tomorrow.

I forgot to do my journal yesterday(I am still in the green) but I do not like missing a day on journals. Yesterday I had s great day. I went to black belt class and sparring. After that we went home and then my sister's friends dad got a promotion and invited us over for dinner. I had a salad with grilled chicken in it. It was really good. When we got home I watched dolphin tale 2. It was a really good movie and you guys should watch it. I also watched 1000 to 1 last week which was also a good movie. Today I did my homework and exercises. I also watched dawn of the planet of the apes. That was a good movie too. Whenever I watch a movie I am doing my exercises at the same time. See you guys tomorrow.

I went to black belt class today. I got a lot of stuff in. I thought I was doing great but now I am in the red for mentor and mentee sessions and I am in the orange/yellow for leadership 1(helping out in class). I NEED to get caught up with that and I need to start on my essays. See you guys tomorrow.

I took sparring today. I only got 5 sparring rounds in but I still learned something new. I had a great day. I had a 2 hour delay but it seemed as long as a regular day. I have another 2 hour delay tomorrow. See you tomorrow.

I am sad again. School was canceled and that is even more work and days we have to make up. I am only happy because I can still focus on Tae Kwon Do. See you guys later.

I am so upset. School was canceled and I am going to have a lot to catch up on. The only reason why I am happy that we did not have school today is so I can get ahead with TKD. Did you guys have school?

I have not been doing a lot of pull ups and I am in the orange. Just a reminder, Master Hartle(Chelley) said that Master Evins is going to check our requirements in four weeks. This is the fourth week and I am pretty sure he is going to check our requirements. That also reminds me that there are ONLY 6 weeks left until testing. If you are behind, I would try to get caught up this weekend. See you guys soon!!

Today was the last day of Jr. Instructors camp:(. I wish I could do that more often and I wish I would have gone before I was a Bocho Don. Did you guys have fun at camp????? I had a great time. For you guys that are going to Instructors camp, have fun. I learned a lot of new techniques and more about how Tae Kwon Do came to be. If you guys do not know how it came to be, it is really interesting and you should find out. I hope I have a good time at instructors camp next year. :) Hope everyone is caught up.

Today is the day. I am going to go to Jr. Instructors camp today with my brother. I am so excited. It is my first time going and I can't wait. See you guys there.

I had my Spanish exam today and I was so scared. It was not that hard. I am not as stressed now as I was. My brother and I are going to Jr. Instructors camp for our first time. My sister is going to Instructors camp for the first time. I hope I have fun. I hope I did well on my Spanish test..... I went to sparring class today and we did that cool/weird thing that we did at Master Evins school to loosen our hips. It was fun. We also played jeopardy in class. It was fun. Just if you guys were wondering, my jump rope round are done because I went to Sky High and jumped for three hours. Master Chelley said that I could count that for jump rope rounds. Hope to see you guys tomorrow!!!

My sister and I are both taking a Spanish test tomorrow but she is in 8th grade and I am in 7th. We are studying together and we are both scared. I am keeping up with everything but running.

I am so excited. I just went to my first hyper pro class and I loved it. I was Tae Kwon Do for about three hours today and I got a ton of things done. I am so happy. Hope every one is keeping up.

I am really nervous. I have my Spanish benchmark on Thursday and I do not feel so comfortable about it. I have been studying but I am still scared. I am also nervous that I am going to fall behind. I just hope that I pass my Spanish test and keep up with Tae Kwon Do. If you are in the same crisis as me, comment back(you do not have to). Also you can study whatever you want while you are doing you push ups and sit ups.(I have done it and it works, you get two things done at once) HAPPY GROUNDHOG'S DAY!!!

I am almost caught up with my exercises. I am so happy and excited and I hope everyone is caught up and does not get sick(I was sick for three days and I am catching up on them now). I have one more day :). Keep on working and try your hardest. Do not give up. We are all doing this together. Have a great week.

Just if you guys were wondering, all of my squat thrusts/burpees are done because I thought we had to do 150 a day. Also today I went to black belt class and I learned a new poomsae (a stick form). It was really interesting and fun. After black belt class, I took sparring. We did this new warm up drill where we had to jump up and shake our hips. Master Knight said it helps because most of our power comes from our hips. I had really fun today and I hope I can attend the black belt classes and sparring classes every weekend. Make sure to stay confident and keep doing your exercises.

Doing great, I have to do some of my push ups and sit ups for the three days that I was sick. I better catch up quickly. Have a great weekend. Who are you rooting for???????

I had a good day at school today. I went to class and sparring. I hope that I can go to taekwondo at least 3 times next week. Have a good Friday and weekend. Who are you rooting for?????

Today was a long day, I was tired and we had rec at the end of the day. I was not feeling so well and I did not do some of my exercises yesterday. I have to catch up today and try to get some sleep. I am going to go to Tae Kwon Do today and do some mentor sessions. Hopefully I will not fall behind. Other than me being tired and it being a long day, I had a good day and I am felling better.

I am feeling better today (I did not feel good yesterday) and I am tired. I need to start doing my meditation (I have not done a lot). I hope I get my homework done fast so I can practice. I hope you guys have a good gay at school.

Today I am hoping I can get to Tae Kwon Do. Hopefully I do not have a lot of homework. I wish I can go to Tae Kwon Do everyday. I didn't get all of my exercises done yesterday (it was my dads birthday) and I will try to get them done today.

Hello, This is Leah,Yesterday I just finished my pre test. I was nervous but I got through. Today I feel like I should not have been nervous about the pre test. I was thinking about that every time I get nervous I mess up and I get more tense. I am just happy I got through the pre test.
