Candidate Journals

today we had the community service project which was pretty cool to see so many people there to help out member of our community. after that i went to my friend bday party and came home and did some homework.    

Today was a really good day. I woke up and went to class because I had already completed the community service on my previous cycle earlier this year. After class, I came home and knocked out my requirements so I would not have to worry about them for the rest of the day. I feel like I procrastinate more when I hesitate to do my requirements rather than just doing them as soon as I get the chance. This afternoon, I decided to repair one of my old RC cars. I had to fix a couple things that had to do with the suspension and then soon enough I had a fully functioning RC car. I haven't messed around with an RC car in years so it was a lot of fun to take it for a spin. This evening, I just hung out at home because I am super exhausted from...

Today was a good day. We went and did the service activity, which was really nice, because we were able to pack supply bags for a whole ton of homeless people. It took a bit, but we got it done. After that, I went on a run, but it was really hard, because my calves and my knee were acting up, so I took it slow. I hung out with my friends, and we played games and ate snacks and it was the most fun I've had all week. I'm so grateful to them and how they were able to come over and spend a crap ton of time at my house playing games with me. Goodnight, and sleep well, cause tomorrow is Sunday!

Hey everyone, today was a good day for me because I was able to get some service hours in and play with friends. So, first I woke up and ran 2 miles, then after that I went to the service YMCA event and hung out there for a while. After that I went home and started working on a paper I needed to write, after that some friends came over and we played DND which was fun, we also played Super Smash Bros, and Magic the Gathering which were awesome, I hope you guys had a great day as well, and I'll see you all later.

hellooooo, i had so much fun at the community service today. the heat was so horrible but it was a fun time. i've gotten really close with the kids in our school i love our friend group so much. gonna go to sleep now im exhaustedddd and my stomach is killing me lol.  

Woke up early to attend the community service event at the McCrorey YMCA—and what an incredible event it was! There was an overwhelming turnout of volunteers, tons of donations, and so many blessings all in one place. Charlotte’s mayor even officially proclaimed today as McCrorey YMCA Day! ​Despite the heat, it was worth every second: our goal was to pack 6,000 care bags for the homeless, and we blew past it to exceed 7,000. ​Afterward, I headed home to knock out some requirements before going over to my in-laws' house. We grabbed half-off sushi together as a family, then headed back to help them set up a new TV and hang out. After hot dogs for dinner, we returned home later in the evening to unwind with a bit of football before bed. ​Hope everyone is having a great extended weekend so far!

Today I woke up early, then I went to participate in the community service at the YMCA. We stood in the sun while waiting, but we also socialized in did some sinwalis. Then we went to bag the foods, so that was nice. Then I went and put the foods in other peoples bags, then I went home. I was overheated after being in the sun for so long, so I chilled at home. Then I went to hospital for my mom, and we were there for 5 hours! So I did some requirements in there. Then I got home.

We had out service project today!!! It was super hot and we barely had anything to do but it was really cool seeing all this people get together for a good cause. Plus, I'm halfway done with my essays so yay.

Toda was the community service project. I had to wake up a little early today so I could get to the YMCA on time, but it was really worth it because I not only had a great time; I also got to help the needy around Charlotte. When I got home, I did my requirements. I decided not to walk today because I wanted to give my knee a rest day, but the rest of it went great. After that, I wrote my essay on the community service, and I only have like 2 left to write. Anyway, I hope everyone had an amazing Saturday, and I'm sad to say it's the last one I will be journaling for this cycle. Goodnight!

I woke up at 6a.m. for a 3 mile run which felt good. Small BBC because most people were at the community service event, lots of weapons forms and kicking today. After work, I came home for lunch and requirements. Around 2:30p.m. my mom and I went dress shopping for homecoming and got a few other errands done while we were out. We met my dad at Jason's Deli for dinner and then came home to relax for the rest of the night! Glad to hear the community service went well even though it was hot! We are 3 weeks out from the physical test, written test, and day that essays are due; make sure you are on track and keeping up with all of that! Keep up the great work everyone! ~ Peyton

Today was the community service project. It was so hot out and there were so many people there. I wasn't able to find too much to do, but thats kind of what happens when so many people turn up at a volunteering event. In total everyone packed over 6000 bags though, so that was really cool. The rest of my day was normal I also ran a 5k today.

Today, all of the black belts went to the YMCA for our community service project, where we packed bags for Stolen Lunches. It was really hot, but the event was still a lot of fun. I enjoyed spending the time together and was happy to be part of something that helps the community.

Today i woke up early and went to the parking lot at 8:00.We went to the stolen lunches fundraiser and helped out as volunteers. after I came home I slept then went to a friends house for a ceramony once I came back. I wrote this journal. 

Today was community service. Not going to write a whole lot cause I’m about to put that in the essay lol. But honestly it was better than I expected. Physically it was pretty terrible. So so so hot out. 3 hours, barely any shade. But mentally it was nice. The group I hung out with made it worth it, it was nice to see them. But, although I felt mostly fine that morning, I felt sick again when I got home. I’m rly getting hit over the head with the whole take it easy thing this week. Which I’m horrible at. Do I know I need rest? Yes. Am I still meeting people to train at a park tomorrow morning? Yes I am. I need the social interaction and practice lol. That’s all goodnight.

I woke up around 7 o’clock to get ready for my community service Event. I then got there set up the stage with balloons and stuff with other people that were doing it too and heard the speech on what they were doing. And then packed some bags for a couple hours got home and ate some lunch. I then did some of my homework finished my requirements and ate dinner.

Today started with going to the community service event with my sister. The heat index was over 100° so it was miserably hot out. There was barely any shade either. But at least it was for a good cause and we were able to help people in need. After the event, we went home to rest and nap a little. That sun wore us out. After my nap, I went to my great grandparents and did requirements then went swimming. We're back at my grandpa's for the night, and now getting ready for bed. Its been a long day. 

Woke up ate breakfast and then went to King Tiger. I rode with Master Marcus to the community service project. It was hard work but was super fun. I got home and worked on requirements and went to the pool for a little bit. I went to dinner with my parents and then watched a movie when I got home. Going to sleep good tonight. 

Today was the volunteering event at the Mccrory Family YMCA. It was Master Foster, Mister woods, me, and six others who went to the event. We mostly helped st up balloons, deliver drop-offs of the donations for the event from the driveway to the packing tent. Overall it was a nice experience, despite the hot weather.

Today, the Black Belt candidates got a chance to complete our Community Service Project requirement.  I'm not sure how many of us showed up (aside from Harrisburg, I did see people I knew from North Charlotte and Huntersville), but we did accomplish our goal of filling 6,000 bags of toiletries, water, and foodstuff for needy families in the Charlotte area, and we did it in a little over 90 minutes.  In fact, when that was announced, some of the people wanted to shoot for 7,000 bags since we had the space rented for another hour.  It was a great event, and showed that when a group of people, even those from different backgrounds, come together for a common cause, they can accomplish a lot.

​Today was a long, exhausting day, starting at 3:00 AM when one of the dogs got sick. After cleaning that up, I managed to crawl back into bed and catch a little more sleep before waking up for a workout—which turned out to be another great session. ​Work went smoothly; I hung out with a few kids and ate lunch until it was time to run the pickup route. The heat today was brutal. ​In the afternoon, I pushed through black belt class. By the time I got home, I was starving—just like yesterday—so I grabbed dinner right away. I wound down with some football before showering and getting ready for bed. Looking forward to the group community service event tomorrow! 

4 Today was pretty good. School was hard getting caught up on all ap classes. I was looking forward to sparring class. Overall I dint do swell as I thought i would do today in sparring. Overall a 6/10 day  

Today, honestly, was not great. I woke up late this morning, so I couldn't go to FCA, and I had 2 tests (which actually went ok, I think). During 6th period, my mom texted me and told me she was coming to get me early because my dog had an emergency surgery today. He's ok, but he's really sore. Other than that, I came home, did my requirements, and went on a walk. Thank you for listening, and I hope you had an amazing week. Goodnight!

Day was my brother’s birthday and we went out to eat and I did my requirements. That’s all I did today.

I hope everyone has been having a great week! Its been a little rough for me but hopefully this long weekend will help out. Did remote learning for school today at my friends house and then had an eye doctor appointment this afternoon. They put 3-4 dilation drops in each of my eyes and for the rest of the night I was definitely not the same. Everything was much brighter and just having my eyes open was painful. BBC was pretty fun, afterwards I had a good mentor session with Master Natasya working on weapons forms. I came home to requirements, dinner, and some relaxation time. Have a great long weekend everyone! Try to stay on top of your requirements because are 4 weeks out from testing! ~ Peyton

Maybe it's just the bronchitis talking but this has been a long week. I am coughing a little bit less so that's a positive change. I and my throat, nose, ribs and abdominal muscles are tired of coughing. I took last night's sparring class off, much needed evening of rest. This morning was probably my best in over a week so I am hoping that is a trend. Class tomorrow and then a workout with Joel. Hope the community service goes well! 

This week has gone by so fast for me. I think that I have been really busy with school and keeping up with requirements every day. Black belt class this evening was pretty good because we tried out a new drill and it's always fun to try out new drills. After class, I told my parents goodbye because they are going to a wedding and I won't be seeing them until Sunday evening. To end off the night, I went on a run which got me to the realization that I really need to rest my legs. They are pretty sore because of all the kicks I have been training for. Overall good week and I am glad it is now the weekend.

I took three tests today, and I think I did well on all of them. I know I did well on one of them, I got an 83% on my AP Bio quiz, which was above average, even though the average was absurdly high for the test, being 80%. I also took a surprise APES test, but it wasn't hard at all, and then the last one that I took was an Econ and personal finance test, and I think I did pretty good on that one too. We practiced spin falls in black belt class today, and I was able to get the spin fall from 2nd Dan number 6 properly first try, so that made me feel a lot more confident, but now I have to do it on the normal mat instead of the squishy one. I completed 4 miles today, and I'm waking up early tomorrow to...

I've been so busy for the past couple of days and up late with a lot of homework so I completely forgot to journal. I almost forgot today too. Anyways everything has been going good. Today I went to black belt class and sparring class which is always my favorite part of the week. I'm excited for the community service thing tomorrow, not so much excited about how hot its going to be. I'm also excited for my 3 day weekend. My plan is to finish all my homework before sunday and then use all of monday to focus on poomsae, self defense, etc. I've really been waiting for a day where I can just lock in on that and monday will be the best time. 

Hey everyone, today was an ok day for me, I was pretty tired all day and I was pretty stressed about some grades, I did good on my APWH test though. After school, I got some homework done and then went to watch my show and do some exercises, after that I went to TKD and did all the stuff I needed to get done. Then I went to go get pizza with my family, after that we went home and then I chilled. I hope you guys had an awesome day, see you later.

Today I woke up, went to school, then when I came back I ate lunch, then headed to Tae Kwon Do. In black celt class we did lots of fun stuff, in my opinion. Then after that was sparring, we did the same things but it was still a good learning chance. Then I went home and practiced my written test.  

helloooooo, today i went to sparring class and i hurt my hip reallyyyy bad so im in a limping sort of situation rn. hopefully it'll be better when i wake up. im really excited for community service it'll be fun to see everyone so i'm looking forward to that. 

Still not feeling well. I felt better today but not sparring better, so I didn’t go. Which is stressing me out a little about credits but it’s fine. I’m doing the community service thing tomorrow morning, it’ll be nice to see people but not great to be out in the heat that long. I’m really exhausted. And it annoys me that I’m exhausted from barely doing anything haha. But I’ll be back in my rhythm next week. I hate to say it but I’m about ready for the cycle to be over. Ready to have a little less stress and a little more free time I guess. But there’s also testing. That’s stressing me out. Especially if my ankle isn’t behaving by then. Oh well.

If you've ever been to an NBA game, you realize television doesn't do justice to real live 7-footers.  Up close and personal, it's hard to believe they're human beings.  I always wondered if a 7-footer came at me, how would I handle it (that's how we martial artists think about stuff, right?).   Tonight, at sparring class, I had a chance to find out.  The student who visited our class isn't a 7-footer, but he's a lot closer to it than I am.  2nd Dan Trent Foster (our unofficial sparring coach) gave me the solution to combat tall opponents.  His advice helped out a lot, but, hopefully, I won't have to put it into action again anytime soon.  6-footers are more my speed. 

    Today was Friday! I woke up exicited remembering it was Friday in which I got ready for school and went on the buss. I enjoyed my day at school and went to King Tiger before getting picked up by my mom. I then did some exercises before going to sparing. I hade a fun time at sparing in which I then got home and completed all my things.

First sparring back after being sick!!! It was pretty fun. I'm also excited for the community service tomorrow but warning to everyone watching this, it's going to be hot. 

Today I woke up and went to school which was okay I guess, but later I got home and chilled out for a bit until we went to the gym. I went to the gym and got 2 miles but yea. I then came home and called my friends and talked with them for the rest of the night, but I just took a shower so now abut to go to bed. I hope everyone had a great day!

Woke up ate breakfast and had remote learning. I got done about 11:30. I had lunch and went to the orthodontist. I did some requirements and got to King Tiger around 4:00. I did black belt class and more requirements and a mentor meeting. I finished my requirements after dinner. Up early tomorrow for community service project. Good night.

Tokay I attended black belt weekend class and advanced sparring class. I also helped lead warmups for sparring class. I then got my 8th mentor session.

Today I woke up did my physical requierments and dropped my sister to the bus stop. In school we started a math test and took a science test. After I got home I read a book then got ready for blackbelt and sparring class. Once I came home I wrote this journal and am about to take a shower.

I woke up and got to school after a really late bus. I then did my classes did a test and went to the black belt class I was about to be late for by car because of my dang bus. I then went home and ate dinner then chilled and went to sleep.

Today is Friday. I was really happy because it's the last day of the school week. I had a test in ELA, which is my least favorite subject. My grade wasnt great, so theres that. I came to stay at my grandpa's tonight so he can bring me to the community service event tomorrow, since my parents have to work. Im pretty excited about it! Now im about to get ready for bed. 

Ran a 10K starting at around 11am. Planned on going longer but the heat got to me, and I was worried Olive was going to get too hot too (it was just me). I have a 5k planned for the middle of October, for now my goal is to be near 22:00 but we will see how things go leading up to it.

Well it has been a while...this week I have been on the struggle bus (hence the title)! Monday was awful, then Tuesday through today I had 4 tests, 3 were for AP classes. A bunch of family stuff has been going on as well, but my mom is finally back from VA which is nice. I've quite literally not had time to take a breath since Sunday. I took a pass on sparring tonight and went over to my friend's house for a sleepover since we have e-learning tomorrow and this week is finally over. Stress is finally relieved (at least somewhat) so I can enjoy the long weekend. I hope everyone is having a better week than I did. Have a great Friday!

Today I woke up and ate breakfast. Then went to school and turned in my project with a 90 i got. Then found out soccer practice was canceled  and the game. Then went to TKD for my cycle. Then went home and ate. Thats my day.

helloooo, currently working on some lit homework since i have a test tomorrow. i also have a physics test tomorrow and i'm not prepared at alllll its so wraps for me. my goal is to sleep before 1:30-2 so i'll see how much i can get done. im really irritated but at least its basically the weekend. 

Today i completed my physical requierents went to school and finished a project there. After I got home I took a break then went to a learning cent er after i came home and ate dinner .After dinner I studied and finished my homework. Then wrote this journal.

Today was a good day. The dog woke me up this morning because she needed to go out. I took care of a few things around the house before heading out for my workout. It was a great session today—Lo pushed me pretty hard at a few stations. 900 calories burned, which was a great start to the day. Afterward, I had to run over to the UPS Store to return my old phone to Verizon. I still don't fully understand the upgrade deal they offered, but I'm definitely not complaining because I love the new phone. Helping out in classes today went well. I worked with the lower belts on their hop-step kicks, which was a lot of fun. Being back on the floor more consistently will definitely help me think outside the box with techniques and fresh teaching approaches. I'm still waiting to hear whether I'll be coaching Christian...

Today I woke up at 6:30 in the morning and got ready. I started my daily physical requirements around 6:50 and ended at 8:00. After I took a nice, refreshing shower and went to school. At school we didn't really do much other than present a project we did. So after school, I ate some chips and headed to King Tiger. Once I got there I donated some lays for Saturday and then did the sparring class, where we did pretty fun drills. After class I got my book signed and headed back home. Once I got home for 30 minutes I did my poomsae's, self defense and kicks for the day. After that I ate dinner and the time was around 9:00. I was really hoping to chill since I hadn't gotten any rest for the whole day and didn't game at all but I remembered I had a project...

Today was pretty normal day. I keep waking up past my alarm and end up having to rush. normal school and marching band practice. excited for my first game tmr!! no tkd class for me today, that’s all goodnight!

Today I helped lead warm-ups, assisted with class, and got my 7th mentor session finished which focused on all of the color belt self defenses.

3 Today was another simple day for me. I was sick so not much to do again. I did school work and tkd requirements  i felt well later on the day so I went to tkd class and got to help out. I met a wonderful well trained yellow belt that knew his stuff very well and immediately sent him to instructor conner for him to get tested next week. Over all it was a pretty good day. Good night crew  

Today was alright. I finished my weekday black belt class requirements yesterday and finally completed my new skill. i can bake now!!! it defiintely took a while but it happened!

    Today was another usual day. I wake up go to school, go to king tiger. I went to Jason's Deli's and ate before going to sparing. I enjoyed it adn knocked out my black belt exercises. Good night

Today was pretty normal. I went to school today and had my quiz in Spanish (which was kinda hard), and I started making my synthesis in AP Seminar. Other than that nothing really happened. When I got home, I did my requirements, and my knee started killing me, so I decided to skip sparring so I could heal faster. I had a lot of homework to get done, so I did that, and now I'm writing this. I hope everyone had an amazing Thursday. Goodnight!

Hello everyone, today was good, I had to hard tests, one in math and one in APWH, but I think I did pretty good. After school, I finished some assignments then went on a run, the run was nice but little did I know that I was going to be a little late to TKD if I didn't get back in time, so I sprinted home. Then we did sparring class, wasn't my best class, but it was still good. I hope you guys had a great day, and I will see you later.

This morning at the Y, after getting in my requirements, a group of us got together with a Black Belt from another school to work on some basics (kicking, blocking, punching).  When we were practicing the side kick, he stressed to the newer students the importance of chambering your leg before the kick is completed.  One thing he said that stuck with me was, "Everything we're doing becomes easier to learn when you understand why you're doing it."  To me, that applies not just to Taekwondo, but to other aspects of your life.  

I had another test today for AP Bio, and I have another two tests tomorrow too, and guess what? One of them will be my third AP Bio test this week! Today was good though, I got all my work done and worked on some of my duel enrollment classes and got some of that done too. I'm planning a game night with my friends for Saturday, but I have to finish everything for school and black belt cycle before I can do that. Hope you guys sleep well and wake up refreshed, goodnight!

Today was a very typical day at school. After school, I jumped directly into my requirements. My legs were sore from last nights run which added a layer of difficulty into the daily requirements. Later, I went over to King Tiger for sparring class which was good but I also was able to practice this new drill I have been doing. I am trying to get the front kick, turning side kick in Pyongwon to be on a perfectly straight line. After sparring, I came home and studied for a couple classes because I got a couple tests tomorrow. I hope everyone had a good Thursday.

Today I went to school, and after school there was an interest meeting, so I stayed back for that, t was a math club, so I hope to get in. Then I went straight from there to Tae Kwon Do. I got a mentor session, then I helped with a class, and I led the warm ups. Then I went home.

Woke up ate breakfast and went to school. School was ok. I went to King Tiger after school and met with my mentee. I went to early dinner with my Mom and then back to King Tiger for more requirements and sparring class. I then went home and did homework. I’m whooped! 

Went to school, pretty normal day. After school I did some requirements before class. When I got to class, I got to spar my sister and she "beat me". Then we all went to my great grandma's house to visit and celebrate her 83rd birthday. Now im headed home to do homework & finish requirements. Then shower & bed.

hellooooo, its almost midnight and I just finished my homework so im tryna write this really fast before it doesnt count for today lol. i still feel like i have to throw up 24/7 so yayyy that's amazing. this week has been so long already i need the weekend to come faster im so done with everything.

Today was first regular schedule day at at school with no homeroom. Pretty normal. After that i had band practice till 6 like usual but my band director took some time to come so we were all js waiting in the hallways for him. Our first game is friday and im pretty excited. When we went through our songs we did much better than yesterday. It was genuinely so freaking hot outside though and we were marching for like an hour and a half. Somehow survived and when i came home i got ready for black belt class. I literally showed up one minute early but for some reason i was considered late, ya ik i have to come earlier than js one minute but i literally had no time because marching band went a little over and my dad was kinda busy. Anyways, came home got some takeout and about...

Today school was pretty boring. We got home early today since my parents were both off work & it's one of my off days from class. So that was nice. I relaxed and played some video games a while, then worked on requirements. Now I'm about to go to sleep.

Today was a rough day I slep in.so wan't ale to get everythong done in the morning went to school and forgot I had too wear something different.Luckily the rest of the day was fine, After I got home from school I got ready went to swimming class.Then did the weekday black belt class .After I got home A friend came for a few minutes. After I ate dinner and wrote this journal.

​Today was a decent day. I woke up and took Christian to his orthodontist appointment, which went well, and then dropped him off at school. ​I headed back home to finish a few chores before going into work. Once there, I was able to spend a few minutes working on my essay before leaving to pick up the kiddos from school. ​Today was my first day stepping away from after-school duty to help in classes as soon as I got back, and I really enjoyed it. I got to watch two younger candidates during their mentee sessions, which was great for helping correct their techniques. ​After work, I dropped off one of the vehicles for service and returned home to grab dinner with the family. I finished up my testing requirements after dinner, then showered. ​I’m completely spent, so hopefully I can get a good night’s rest—another long day ahead tomorrow.

2 Didn't go to school today because I was sick. It was hard and easy to complete my tkd requirement today because I had more time but also it was harder because I was sick. Not much happened today but I tried to get school work done.   8/10 day  

Today at school we did lots of fun stuff so that was good. Then I went back home, and had a class. Then after my class I went to Tae Kwon Do. In class we did lots of poomsaes, which was good practice. I also led the class for part of the warm-ups. Then I got a mentor session, and at this point I know all of my self defenses and poomsaes, so my mentor asked me to do a self defense, randomly, and he said I was doing good, so I feel good about that. All I need is more detail, power, and speed. Then I went home, practiced poomsaes and self-defenses.

    Today was a pretty chill day. I woke up at a nice breakfast, went off to school. The usual, I then got to school and had a good day. I waiting for the King Tiger bus and when I got there, I did a mentor session with my mentality and lead class. I then got home and did my homework and exercises. Then I go to bed.

Today was okay but in band at school we played a note that was pretty hard. Later after school I went to go get some food, Once I at I went to taekwondo but we had to cancel the last class since there I was I guess to many low belts or not enough people but we are doing sparring tomorrow, after class I came home and did my jumprope for a few minutes. I then called my friends for an hour or so. I am now chilling out but now soon going to go to bed, I hope everyone had an amazing day!

Today I woke up and went to school. Soccer practice got cancelled so i went home and ate KFC . Later I went to TKD for my cycle. Then went home and helped my brother with his homwork.

I took an AP Environmental Science test today, and I did pretty well I think. It's getting pretty late so I'll keep this one kinda short, after school I finished my homework and went to Taekwondo to get some stuff done, and I was able to get all caught up on my mentee sessions (finally), and i got a ton of requirements done too. Well, I'm pretty tired, and I need to wake up early again tomorrow, so goodnight!

Today was not great. I woke up this morning, and my allergies were really bad, but school wasn't terrible. I have a quiz tomorrow in Spanish, and then on Friday I have a test in Spanish and in math, so I'm really trying to study for those. I also had a few club meetings today, which are always fun. I had DECA at lunch and Haunted Hallways (my school's haunted house) after school. I also had a crazy amount of homework, so I decided not to go to TKD because of that and my allergies. Anyway, I hope everyone had an amazing Wednesday. Goodnight!

I had quite a busy day today. School was very busy and I had to finish up some things as homework. I did most of my requirements when I was done with school at home. I then went over to King Tiger and was able to get leadership, a mentee, and mentor session. Really working on my kicks which are starting to look a lot better than they did. Later this evening, I went for a very humid run; I cannot wait until the weather cools off which should make it easier to run. I am currently reviewing some material in some of my classes because I have a couple tests / quizzes coming up tomorrow and Friday. I hope to get to bed soon so tomorrow goes smoothly.

Today I woke up around 7 in the morning and completed my requirements for the day. After I got ready and went to school which I had two tests. I had 1 for math which I got a 100 on and 1 for reading which I got a 93 on. After school I ate a snack and went to my friends house to play basketball which was pretty fun. After basketball I relaxed ate dinner and chilled even more. Later, I went to sleep.

Hello everyone, today was a good day for me because I was able to go to work after a long time. First, I woke up and went to school, pretty normal stuff did my classes and got my work done, I feel good about my classes. Then after school I headed over to work because today was a good day to do it because I got a lot of my homework done. Then after work, I got 2 miles down with my brother and then ate some dinner and now I'm here. I hope everyone had a wonderful day, see you later.

I woke up and got to school I then did some coding in my computer science class then did the rest of the school day and went home. I then ran did my workouts then did a class then went to dinner.

Today I had a computer science test at school and was pretty tired, and I also went to a club induction meeting. I helped with the black belt class today and got a assistance credit.

Woke up and had yummy breakfast. Went to school and had State MAP test. I did really good. School was ok. I went to King Tiger and did some requirements and both mentor and mentee sessions. I also took a class. When I got home I did more requirements. I am tired. 

After getting in my daily requirements at the Harrisburg Y this morning, I had to go to a friend's job site and help him and his department get ready for a food safety reaudit coming up in October.  A food safety reaudit is a return visit by food safety inspectors (either USDA or FDA, depending on what type of food you manufacture).  During the initial audit, the inspectors gave the company a failing grade because they found problems such as cross-contamination risks and incomplete record-keeping.  Those findings are warnings that something in the system could allow harmful bacteria or allergens to slip through and harm customers who buy their products.    After I left from there, I assisted during the 5:10pm Senior Tiger class at the dojang. I came in tonight and assisted because we're closed for Labor Day on Monday and we have belt-testing next Thursday night, so it's essentially...

Hey guys I am back on that streak (kind of) and feeling a lot better than I did over the weekend. I need to try going to more sparring classes to make up for the one i missed on friday. other than that, glad to be back!!!(after only 4 days)

We woke up in the morning and what school didn’t go to taekwondo or exercise because I was sick today and hope that will feel better by tomorrow.

hi guys, today was a pretty tiring day. i had work today until 7 and just finished up my homework. I had a calc test today and got a 99 on it and im pretty salty because my teacher COULDVE GAVE ME ONE MORE POINT. but oh well it's whatever i also had an econ test today but that was pretty easy. i've been so stressed lately i just don't wanna do anythingggggg im really upset. i've been feeling so nauseous and i couldnt sleep the past 2 days but just gonna try my best and sleep it off, goodnight!!

Color belt testing tonight went well. One of my kiddos from summer camp and afterschool tested and was the only one of his belt testing. I was proud of him because I think even just a couple of months ago that would have really not gone well. But tonight he did well, he got a little flustered but he kept calm, his kihaps were loud too😁 He needed to try again afterwards to break his board but he persevered and was successful. Definitely a good way to end the night! 

Today was a solid day. Woke up and took care of a few things around the house until about 9:00 AM. ​Around that time, I loaded up Christian’s dirt bike and drove over to Cornelius to drop it off at the shop for repairs. Hauling stuff like that always makes me nervous—it definitely pushes my anxiety on high. ​After dropping off the bike, I headed over to 9Round and got in a great workout. From there, I went straight to work to clean a few more vehicles. It was brutally hot today, so I was only able to power through one of them before calling it. ​I left work a bit early to pick up Christian’s bike once it was ready, then headed home. Traffic in the Cornelius area around rush hour is always crazy. ​Once I got home, I spent some time working on my kwans essay, had dinner, showered,...

Today I went to school did a small quiz and once I got home read a book.After I went to takwondo Got class ascistance and leadership credit.after I did a mentee sestion and a mentor session.I went home ate dinner and took a long break.

Today was a pretty normal day. I was honestly pretty tired throughout the day though, have to get used to waking up really early almost everyday. Today was the last day of going to homeroom and I was able to get some homework done in there too. My classes were all pretty normal today too. After I had band practice, we have our first game this Friday and im pretty excited and we ran through our routine and lowkey did really bad but we aren't always horrible so hopefully better tomorrow or we gonna have to run laps or smth. Anyways right after I got home I had tkd class but pretty chill today, my mentor wasn't there and my mentee was busy so no sessions only leadership. After that went home ate and about to sleep. Goodnight!

Today I felt super tired in the morning because I barely slept the night before. I didn’t run a mile today but I still did everything else I had to do today. Today was the last day we go to Homeroom first thing in the morning. Now we go to first block first which for me will be Health but it’ll be PE next quarter I think. So after 1st block I went to Computer Science and I had a few of my friends in that class so I talked to them most of that block. After that I had Visual Design class and I had lunch during that period so it was fun. After Visual design I went to English with my second best friend. Today is the first day I didn’t go to TaeKwonDo during the cycle I think except for when I was sick. I think so, I’m not sure.

1   Decent day overall, school was normal as usual, after tkd requirments I skipped math class to go to tkd assistance class. During class, I felt like my forms were getting better and better as we progressed with the class. Helping other students made me feel like I was learning from them as I was teaching them. I saw simpe mistakes and learned to not do them because it served like a 3rd person view, it was like I was sculpting the perfect view for myself.   Overall it was a very informational 6/10 day

Today was an average Tuesday. I went to school and had a normal day at school. When I came home, I knocked out my requirements and worked on my creative form. I finished watching Interstellar this evening which turned out to be a really good movie. I'm planning on getting to be early tonight because I am feeling a bit more tired than usual.

Well I’m sick lol. Skipped workout and class today. I’m going to see how I feel in the morning, maybe school maybe not. I’ll try to get to black belt class though I need the credit. I don’t want to be behind in school this early either but that’s not controllable. And I have a lot to keep up with, so it’s not smart to drag it out. Anyways we’ll see. I could also use that time, get caught up on some academic stuff. 

Today I went to school and it was okay, but after sschool was the fun part. Once I got home, I ate and chilled for a bit before going to taekwondo where we did a lot of poomsaes and self defences for the class, Later I texted a few people about band, I then came to this running track and ran 2 miles, I then went home. I went to take a shower because I was really sweaty after my run. I then went to chill out before my workouts, I then chilled out, I just ate some Fruity Pebbles because why not. I hope everyone had a great day!

Today I got up, got ready & went to school. After school I figured out my sister was going to take class today. I've been trying to talk her into starting taekwondo again. After we went to class, I went home and worked on requirements. Just got done with my shower. Now it's a video game or two and then bed. 

I took a test today in AP Bio, and I got a 20/24, so I'm pretty happy with my score (It's an 83% roughly). Some of the questions I missed when looking back on it I thought were because if stupid errors or not reading the question correctly. I also had an appointment to see when I can have my wisdom teeth removed, and we ended up settling for October 9th. I'm not super excited cause I'll be swollen for a while cause I have 4 wisdom teeth instead of 2 like my dad. I'm pretty tired form long days from waking up around 5:15 and going to bed around 10:00 every night, I'll have to get to bed earlier now. Anyway, hope you guys sleep well, goodnight!

    Today was a very simple day. I woke up after a good night of sleep and had a delicious PB&J before packing my back and going off to school. I had a social studies and a math exam which I think I aced. I then proceeded to hop onto the king Tiger bus. Once I got to king Tiger, I was then picked up by my dad and took to my orthodontist appointment. It went well and then went home and finished my exercise. After that, I took a shower and had a nice dinner and relaxed the rest of the day.

Today was a pretty average day at school. I started a project in Bio, which is really cool, and we had a discussion on the electoral voting system in AP Seminar, and it was really cool to hear and read about the different perspectives. When I got home, I worked on some homework and did my requirements. After I finished with that, I went to TKD and got to work on color belt self-defense again to make sure that I have them down, and we worked on all of the poomsae's. Anyway, I hope everyone had an amazing day. Goodnight!

Tonight, I assisted in the Senior Tigers class (ages 8-12) before my Adult class.  I met an 8-year-old Yellow Belt who I'd never seen before.  I thought she was visiting from another dojang, but she's been on vacation for the last month and hadn't been back at practice until tonight.  If she hadn't told me, I would have never known because she still performed Kwon Sool in both English and Korean, the advanced blocking techniques, and Chagi Sool without missing a beat.  I asked her how she remembered all that so well, and she said she practiced every day while she was on vacation.  That was very encouraging to hear because I remind other students that, if you want to improve, you can't just practice on Tuesday and Thursday nights when we have class.  You have to put in work outside of class.  She is the proof of what I've been...

Today I was very busy and productive. I had three classes at school and in my free time I was able to get that assignment that's been bothering me done. I thought the assignments after that one were going to be easy, because there's not usually more than one hard assignment in a module for that class but apparently that wasn't the case. There's another tedious research assignment, but at least this ones shorter. I also worked on a lot of math today. I haven't really been doing anything for my other classes since we don't have anything due until this weekend, but I think I should start because the weekend comes faster than you expect. 

First day of September. It was fun at school, but nothing much. Then I had a class right after arriving from school. Then I went to swimming class, which I had fun at. Then I came back home, and played with my friends, soccer. I played goalkeeper which was fun cause they were taking freekicks on me.

Today I had a pretty Good day. I got a black book class and some classes assistance and leadership. I’m close to being done with my classes assistance and leadership.
