Candidate Journals

Today was meh day. I went to camp and it was movie day. We went to the movies and saw Garfield. They said there would be popcorn but we didn't get any. I felt disappointed. The movie was definition of c tier and I fell asleep to it twice. I woke up near the end of it and it was alright. We've seen way better movies. Camp besides there as alright, had some fun but overall it was just meh. I went to tkd and helped out in junior tigers. I also did a mentor session with my mentee. Took class, class was good. Master Foster is back and now we have the entire gang. I just started learning staff form 2 about a week ago so I really need to work on it. After class I stayed for a mentor session with Master Knight but I was not the only...

Today was a normal day, I stayed home from camp and just relaxed. I did some requirements about an hour after I woke up. I did not have to do all of them since I did the poomsae seminar. After I finished my requirements I just relaxed and talked to my friends. A few hours later my mom came home and we had dinner about 2 hours later. Now I am just relaxing until I have to go to bed since I have to go to camp tomorrow. I am going to miss being able to just relax. Goodnight everyone and I hope tomorrow goes well bye! :)

Today I stayed home from camp because I stayed up a tiny bit too late doing extra requirements for today and watching tv and since I could not go to sleep (3am, nothing much right). So since I stayed home I slept in until 12ish. I got up and finished all my leftover requirements i did not do last night. After I did that i did what I normally did. Relax,talk with friends and got lunch but my mom got some spicy chicken (if your actually reading this keep that in mind). So I tried some of it and it did not taste spicy to me as much as she said so I made a sandwich out of it and with some cheese. So later when I was talking to my friend, my mom came back from work and came into my room saying "tell your friends you will call them...

Today was just a normal Sunday, no camp, no taekwondo. Just stayed home, watched church online, and did my requirements. I am very tired and just want to relax. The only interesting thing that happened to me today was me working on my five Kwans essay. Besides that today was just a normal day. Goodbye everybody :).

Today I slept in before I went to the poomsae seminar. It was actually very useful and if you ask anybody who went they would say the same thing. I learned many useful things about how to improve my stances, technique, and blocks. I learned interesting facts about pal chang double kicks and how they should be done. All this time I thought they both were ladder kicks moving forward. After the seminar I went to Cheesecake Factory to celebrate how the cycle is going in general. I finished my requirements at home and planned out my essays and other requirements for the next month. It felt good seeing that I am on my fourth essay and will have a lot of requirements done before school starts. I hope everyone has a good day tomorrow. Goodbye :).

Today was a simple day. I did not go to camp because I had to go to the dentist. Everything was fine no cavities and no need for anything special. I came home and relaxed before doing my requirements. Later I went to TKD to do black belt class and sparring. Master Knight taught the classes since Master Foster was out on vacation. I learned some of staff form 2 and worked on staff from 1. Staff form 2 was pretty interesting with a lot of new movements and attacks. We did a lot of rolls and falls in class too. We also did a lot of drills in sparring to practice our movement and footwork. I think I did pretty well sparring. We ended class with ladder kicks which tired everybody out. After class I went to Jim and Nick's with my mom for dinner. I hope to see everyone...

Today was the last day of the digital detox, I was excited to get it done with but that was not the only thing that happened. I went to camp today and it was a good time. We played a lot of fun games, went to the flying tiger obstacle course and I just relaxed. After camp I went to Starbucks to get a drink, it was pretty good. Now I am home and done with all my requirements so I am about to go play with friends. Goodbye everybody :)

Today was a good day. I did the digital detox day 1 today. I didn't find it too challenging but I did wish I was able to actually use my electronics. Besides that I went to camp today and we watched a movie. It was pretty good. I got a lot of requirements done. Later I went to TKD and helped and took class. I also got a mentor session done. After that I went home and finished my mile. Now I'm just relaxing and having a good night. Speaking of goodnight I hope you have a good night and your day went went well. Goodbye :)

Today I stayed home from camp because my mom worked from home. I went back to bed and slept for a good 6 hours. I woke back up and started my requirements after having a breakfast bar. I spent a lot of time on poomsaes and I am happy with how most of them look. I watched a little tv and relaxed for most of the day. I got some clarification on the digital detox from Master Chelley and I plan to start it tomorrow. Overall today has been a good day. Goodnight guys :)

Today, I stayed home from camp due to my mom not feeling well in the morning. She eventually felt better and did some requirements with me. I watched a movie with her while running on my treadmill. I'm pacing myself at higher speeds now. After the movie me and my mom finished requirements then had lunch soon after. Then i went to king tiger to do class, help out with a class, and do a mentee session. Overall today was a good day but I have to do my digital detox tomorrow and probably the day after that. Anyways I hope everybody had a good day and tomorrow goes better, have a goodnight. Bye :)

Today was a simple day since it was Sunday. I had no camp and no classes. I was able to sleep in until it was time to watch church online. During church I got a good amount of requirements done while listening. It was a good message about having faith. After church I was able to finish my requirements. Since I finished my requirements early I was able to talk with my friends and play online. I hope you had a good day and I hope tomorrow goes better. Goodnight :) 

Today was a busy day. First I woke up early and went to tkd class to get some credits and stayed for leadership, Abraham (who if you don't know goes to the Harrisburg location) brought cookies since it was his birthday which was nice (thanks again,Abraham). After I had some I talked to some piers and master Foster than went to my cousins house to go to the pool. We stayed for about an hour and a half. Then I stayed at my cousins house for about a good 3 hours, we played a lot and got dinner. Now I am home doing all my requirements except for the mile then relaxing for the rest of the night. I hope you had a good day or night and stay positive. Bye! :)

Today I went to camp. In camp today we did an Indian dance which mainly was about leg and arm movements. After camp I went to my aunt's house to get ready for TKD class. I was able to play with my cousins a little but then I had to go. After that I went to TKD class where I did black belt class and sparring. I came home which is where I am now and I am finishing up my requirements. I hope everybody has a good day as you're reading this and if not I hope tomorrow goes better. Goodnight :). 

Today was a normal day at home instead I got to do less requirements since I did extra poomsaes and self defenses yesterday. My friends were offline today so I found other things to do during the day like building with legos and building a marble track. I will most likely be going to camp tomorrow and 100% will be going to black belt class so yeah. Have a good day or night and enjoy yourselves. Goodbye :)

Today I stayed home from camp to do some extra requirements, specifically for my poomsaes and self defenses. I felt like after the time a lot of them looked really good. I spent some time talking to my friends and relaxing. I went to class where we practiced some more self defense and rolls. I also helped out in junior tigers and got a leadership credit. I enjoyed helping the junior tigers and leading groups for them. Today overall has been a good day. I hope everybody can say the same and I hope if not tomorrow goes better.  Have a good night. Goodbye everybody :)

Today was a simple day. I decided not to go to camp today so I can get my requirements done faster and then relax after. That is exactly what I decided to do. The second I woke up I gave myself an hour to relax and then I did all of my stuff. I spent the rest day relaxing, talking to my friends, watching tv, and playing video games. It felt good to get my stuff done early. Tomorrow I plan to go back to camp and go to my TKD class. I hope everyone has a good night. 

Back on the cycle   Today is the 3rd day of the cycle for me and the first day for my journal entry. I feel like I got a good start. I already finished some of my essays and am halfway done with my miles this week. It has been a long day with camp and classes. I now remember that the cycle takes a lot of energy and time. A couple of kids at camp are also on the cycle and we were able to train together and work on requirements. I had my first mentor session tonight and it went good. I am working on finding a mentee this week. I have an idea for someone I just need to ask them. I am looking forward to the rest of the cycle. I feel like it will be rewarding.   

Hello King Tiger Family. I was checking my tracking and for some reason the system says I only have 49 journals when I have 51 so I wanted to do another one just in case. I hope everyone is hanging in there. We are so close to the end! I am excited and nervous for the test this weekend for Harrisburg and next weekend for everyone. All I can do is do my best. I think I'm ready! Have a good night. 

Hello king tiger family. Even though I completed my 50 journals I wanted to stop by and say hi to everyone. This has been a good week for me. Yesterday we had had our Black History event at school and I was John Lewis for our wax museum. There were so many people and I got a little nervous at first. After the museum there was a performance from other classes and our step team performed. Everyone did a good job. Today I took a science and ELA test but only got my grade for the science test...a 95. I was happy about that. After school I came home and worked on my requirements for over an hour. I had to make up for yesterday since I did not have a chance to do anything other than run. It was hard and I was tired after but I got it done....

Good evening king tiger family. Today was a great day. I got up and went to school and while i was in after school the step team came in the cafeteria and practiced and everyone was watching them even my friends mom who originally was ready  to leave but spent ten extra minutes watching the step team. After school I  went to taekwondo and after class i did a mentor session with master night and then I went home and finished requirements. These requirements are really hard to do. I cannot wait until next week where most requirements go down. That is all for today. Have a awesome night and a great day tomorrow.

Hello King tiger family. Today was a normal day. I got up, went to school, and came back home. Tomorrow the girls are going on a field trip while the boys stay at school and have a visitor come teach us about drones. I think its kind of unfair that the girls get to leave school. I came home, ate and finished some school work and then worked on my requirements. Now I'm about to relax. Goodnight.

Hello king tiger family. Today I woke up not feeling the best. My mom said I had to go to school so I took some medicine and had an okay day. I went to after school and then my mom picked me up and we came home. I relaxed for a while and then went to taekwondo for a class with Grandmaster Lee. I didn't feel my best but did not want to miss the class. We learned a lot of new self defense and practice for kicks and making sure we have good stances and blocks. I asked him to sign my black belt book so I can have his signature in my book. I am excited about that. I came home and ate dinner and took a shower. I played some video games and now I'm about to get ready for bed. Goodnight.

Hello king tiger family. Today was an ok day, at school I woke up and went to my class, but then the teachers said they were shuffling the classes and I ended up with the smallest one so yeah. Then I went to taekwondoe originally to just get a mentor session but ended up helping a class,being mentored and mentoring someone. While I was helping out with class I did requirements. That is all today so goodbye and good night.                

Good Evening King Tiger Family. Today was amazing because there was no school. I spent most of the day relaxing. I did my exercises, ran over a mile, and finished my book requirement. I went to the burg today and helped out in junior tigers and took class. Today we learned how to use power in our kicks and we did a lot of drills. We also worked on red belt self defense. After class we did black belt curriculum and worked on stick forms. I stayed for a mentor session with Master Foster and he helped me with more stick training and went over some poomsaes. He gave me a lot of good advice and tips. I ate dinner when I got home, took a shower, and relaxed. Goodnight!

Hello King Tiger Family. Today was a good day. I woke up and completed some requirements in the morning and then went to school. School was normal. I had P.E and was able to run laps and finish my exercise requirements because the other 5th grade classes ruined P.E for us because they were not listening. We were only allowed to to run laps and read a book for P.E. My teacher allowed me to work on my exercises instead of reading. My mom picked me up early from afterschool early because I had to get a haircut. When I came home I finished my requirements and practiced stick forms...well what I could remember. I just finished dinner and now I'm about to get ready for bed.

Hello King Tiger Family. Today was an early release day at school so we only did our Black history project presentations. I did amazing on my speech and feel like I had one of the best board. After presentations we went music and then lunch. I went to after school and ran 2 miles and spent the rest of the afternoon relaxing with my friends. My mom picked me up and told me that we were having black belt practice for candidates so we went home to pick up my uniform and head to King Tiger. I completed my exercises and worked on short sticks. I also had a mentor session and worked on staff form and more short stick forms. Me and my mom stopped by Chickfila for dinner and then came home.

I ran for 20 minutes during recess. When I came home I worked on my science book creator project and then finished my requirements. After dinner I practiced my speech and then took a shower. Now I'm about to read before bed. 

Good Evening King Tiger Family. Today was an ok day. I got up and did my exercises and then went went to school. I turned in my Black history project that I was talking about a few days ago. I'm glad I finally got to turn it in. It took multiple days to finally get it done. During my school day I started to feel a little sick and had to go home early. I came home and relaxed for a few hours and started feeling a little better. I did not feel well enough to go to my class tonight. I'm upset because I missed a lot of credits. I finished the rest of my requirements and I'm glad I was able to run laps at school before I started feeling sick. I'm about to work on a couple of activities for my book requirement so I can knock out...

Hello king tiger family! Today was my grandmas birthday so after sparring class this morning at 9:00 am (Yes, that is very early) I left my dojang and went to cracker barrel and my cousins and aunt came too. After that we all went to my grandmas house and had a great time. When me and my mom left, we came back to our place and started working on a social studies project around 4 pm. And we are still working on it as of right now so I am going to get back to helping her. Have a good night!

Good Evening King Tiger Family. Today was a normal day, went to school and received some things I should have gotten yesterday inside of my Thursday folder. They also revealed that we are having an award ceremony soon. I had to make up my math MAP testing and I think I did well. I cut my finger open in art class. It was a small cut and as long as I'm not rough with it and let it heal it will be okay. We were cutting out things for our art project for black history month.

Good Evening King Tiger Family! Today I woke up feeling better. I woke up a little later than normal and I did not do any requirements before school. School was normal except when I got there I found out someone took my headphones out my cubby. No one admitted to having them and I had to borrow some from school. I was not happy because I just got them for Christmas. They are going to look into it tomorrow. I have another pair at home that mom my said I could take and bring back home for now. Other than that my day was good except now we can't play with other classes during recess because some kids don't listen. I spent most of recess running laps.

I learned a lot about John Lewis and new things about...

Good Evening King Tiger Family! Today was another good day. I finished jr. instructor's camp. This was my second time going and so far my favorite one because it was more about fundamentals. I also got to see some familiar faces from summer camp and my tae kwon do aka the burg. It was a really good time overall and to come home I felt sad and relief at the same time because I got to rest in my own house. I worked on a few requirements but have a slight headache so will probably spend the rest of the night winding down. 

Today was an amazing day! I got up and did requirements. Then I went to school and had early dismissal After that I went to my house and started to relax and then I started to type this. In a few mins I will go to jr. instructors camp so I have to finish packing.

Hello king tiger family. Today was a good day. I first woke up and ran then went to.school. Then I went to school and in art class we used Indian ink. My teacher warned to be careful because it was hard to wash out. Of course I got some on my new sweatshirt. My mom was not happy. After achool I came home and ate dinner. I had to wash my hair because I got red fuzz in my hair from my hood. Everyone kept asking if I dyed my hair at school and I was confused until I looked in the mirror. I finished my requirements while I watched tv.   

Good Evening King Tiger Family. I'm glad to tell you that today was a good day. Today I woke up and did my exercises in the morning and went back to sleep for a little while. After that I went to school and had a great day. I tried to tell my principal about the community service project but she did not come in until the afternoon and I was told that they would let me know when she arrived. I never got a call to the office and did not have a chance to ask to go back to see her. I will try to talk to her tomorrow. After school I went to Tae Kwon Do and helped out in junior tigers and then did a mentor session with my mentee Caleb. He is a really good mentee and we had an awesome time. Caleb listens and knows a...

Good Evening King Tiger Family! Today was a great day. I woke up and ran and knocked out some other requirements. I went to school and we finally had our donut celebration for finishing our 50 states project. Besides that it was a normal day. I came home and finished my other requirements and did a couple activities in my book. I had to run 2 miles today and I hated it. I wish we didn't have to run a mile everyday but they did say getting your black belt was not going to be easy. After that I practiced poomsaes, self defense, and kicks. We had tacos for dinner and I came upstairs and took a shower. After I finish this I am going to bed. Good night. 

Good Evening King Tiger Family. Overall today was a great day. I overslept this morning and did not any requirements done before school. School was good today. I was disappointed that we did not have p.e. today because they decided to do a schedule change for our connect because of the teacher workday last week. They never did this before. We had music instead. I presented a music project with my group and one of our members went rogue and tried present his own project as ours. We were able to inform the teacher that was not what we completed and we played the real one. Lots of people like our project. The rest of the day at school went as normal. I went straight to King Tiger after school and helped out in junior tigers. I then took my weekday black belt class and had a mentor session with Master...

Happy Sunday King Tiger Family! Today, I got up but I did not get to go to church today so me and my mom watched virtually because she was too tired to go. I completed some of my requirements while I was watching Ukids in my room. I cleaned up my room and then we went to pick up groceries. When we came back, my mom made breakfast and we ate. Then I helped set up our new treadmill with my mom and grandma. I did a little over 1.6 miles after we set it up. I relaxed and listened to music after that and then practiced my poomsaes, self defense, and kicks. I also knocked two essays which I did not want to do but I was happy when I completed them. Later I played Tekken with my mom and ate dinner after. I was able to complete two activities...

Today I got up early and went to sparring class. After class I realized that I left my uniform top at home and my friend Declan let me borrow his. He saved me from a long drive back home. I am thankful for Declan and his help today. I helped out in junior tigers and did a mentor session with Caleb. After that I took a class as a white belt and stayed for leadership class.  We talked about being thankful and finding something we can do at home to help out. I'm still trying to think how I can help out at home. I stayed for the ninja gym reopening and play with some friends and offered to clean up after. I came home and finished my requirements and now I'm about to rest before working on my school project and some essays.

Overall today was a really great day. In school we had our birthday celebration and our character parade. The person I voted for best character of the month won. We got cupcakes, cookies, chips, and juice for the birthday celebration. My mom came up to volunteer and she brought the chips again this month. We also took a science MVPA test and got to go outside for recess. My shoes got muddy and my mom was not happy when saw them. I went to get a haircut and then attended my Black belt class. There were not as many people tonight. We practiced a lot of self defense and board breaking. I did okay with both and have to keep practicing some things. We had pizza after thanks to Master Foster and Instructor Conner. I came home and finished my requirements. It was torture but I got them done. I'm about...

I cancelled my taekwondo class today because I had to study for my science test. I went over the study guide and feel like I am ready for the test tomorrow. After I finished studying I did my exercises and I will have to double up tomorrow on my poomsae and self defense. I'm about to relax and play Tekken before I go to bed. 

Today I tried to go mute but ended up talking a million times. Besides that all I did was do requirements, go to the grocery store and relaxed.

Today I got up and went to the usual 9:00 am sparring class. After I stayed to help out with jr. tigers, take a regular class and leadership. We played a round of tiger ball and I got out right before the last 2 mins. Of course when I got home I was extremely tired and finished requirements and winded down 2 hours. Then i had to work on a school project. After that I just relaxed for the rest of the day.

Today I woke up and knocked out some requirements this morning. Then I went to school and had a normal day, nothing exciting. My mom picked me up and I went to my black belt class. After we were done we had a potluck and after we ate I played with my friends.

Back to usual days. I woke up early so I did some exercises and played my video game for a while. I went to school 1 or 2 hours later. After school I went to my aunt's house to run on the treadmill for my mile. It was too cold to run outside today. I miss the hot temperatures in Jamaica already. Later I went to taekwondo class and let warm ups. I also did a mentee session and had another mentor session.  Then I went home after stopping by Harris Teeter. I finished my homework, ate, took a shower, and now am about to head to bed.

Then we went on a glass boat tour and came back and went to the waterpark. Hours later we came back to our room and washed my hair. Then we went to see some stage shows which really entertained me. This has been an wonderful vacation and I wish I didn't have to leave.      

Still on vacation. I got up and went to the gym to run. Then came back to the room and got ready for breakfast. After breakfast my mom took me to the souvenir shop against my will and eventually I got something. We went to the beach after. We later came back to the room and I finished some requirements and got ready for dinner. We stopped to get a milkshake on the way. Dinner was good. 

Today was the second day of my vacation and my first day waking up in Jamaica. I started the day doing some requirements on our balcony while at the Carribean Sea. Then after that I had breakfast and went to the water park for 2 hours. The slides there were fun but oen of them were pretty scary. After that we had lunch and now we are about to head to the beach. I plan to work on some poomsaes and self defense on the beach. 

Today was the first day of vacation so I do not have much to say. First I got to the airport and got on a plane 3 hours later. Then I arrived at Jamaica 2 hours later. Then rode the bus for 2-3 hours. The I finally arrived at the resort and went to my room and started typing this.      

Today was a usual day. I got up, did some requirements. Went to school and did my classes. Went to after school. Then I went home, finished the requirements and packed up for my vacation. I have to wake up at 4:30 Am so yeah. I am in bed now and just winding down.

Today school was delayed for 2 hours. This made me happy because I had more time to practice, run a mile and enjoy myself. When I arrived at school I went to class and talked to my friends. After that we soon started class when we switched classes we found out P.E was only 5 mins due to the two hour delay of school starting so we just played one round of silent ball. When we switched for the 2nd time my classmates would not stop talking in the hallway and the teachers took all our recess away since we had "P.E" today. When we switched back to our homeroom we packed up and went home, but I went to taekwondo class. I found it more exiting than usual because today was my first day mentoring someone. After that I took class and went home. I then took a shower and...

Today we had no school! My day started like any other, staying in bed for an hour after I woke up and watched TV and played some video games. A few hours later my mom said it was time to do some school work. But it was not that hard since the school websites were down. So I started doing exercise and the other cycle requirements a few hours later but while I was doing that, i got a tornado warning. My mom said it was fine but if I hear strong winds to let her no and she will tell me what to do. But even more later the power went out for hours so when I finished I just sat down in silence. The power came on later and I moved on with my day.

It was time to go back to school... I tried my best not to sleep too long. When I got up me and my mom went outside and ran a mile. When we got back we felt our ears explode due to the change in temp. I knocked out some of my exercises and got ready for school. When I was at school I found tomorrow was going to be the best day ever because school is out. I went to Taekwondo class and helped in Junior Tigers. I then had my first mentor session with my mentor Instructor Conner. It went pretty good. I came home and finished my self defense.  Today was a long day and I can't wait to wind down.

I survived the shopping trip of 1/7/2024. It all started when I woke up and got in my car to drive to a nearby school's track. Me and my mom arrived around 10:00. We both ran a few laps and finished at a decent time for my first time running. But then that was when the terror began. My mom had said we would go to a store to get 1 or 2 items. So we went in to a Marshals and found half of what we needed to get but then they were out of stock for one of the items. So around an hour later we went to an Target and grabbed some Starbucks. I sat down and realized that we have been out the house for around 3 hours. So we went shopping but we did not find the item we were looking for but bought at least...

Today was the day of the black belt cycle pre test. I was exited but at the same time worried. I woke up and fell back to sleep to hear my mom saying stop oversleeping. I got ready put my dog in her crate and gave her a dog treat and got in my car. I stopped at chick-fil-a to get a biscuit and hashbrowns. I arrived at Grand Master Evins dojang and my mom told me that breakfast was over. I got out and entered to see a lot of familiar faces. I practiced with one of my friends on self defense and we soon started the pre test. We first warmed up with exercise, then went into the written exam (which I think i did horrible on). After that we did poomsaes and i think i did really well on them. My mom soon picked me up and I...
