Candidate Journals

Today was very busy. I went to school early just like every Friday for art club. I am working on a mural that I designed with my friend and we are actually making a lot of progress! I’m so excited for it to be done 😄 School was otherwise pretty normal. This week has been busy with tests, etc. so it was good to have a chill day. This whole week I have also been helping out at color belt testing which was a lot of fun! Today I did rolls and falls and BBC after school. When I got home we ate my favorite dinner ever: wings and potato salad :) It was so delicious. Anyway now I’m relaxing before a busy weekend!

Fun day! I finished all my work in school, so when I came home, I chilled a bit. I then finished all my physical requirements and was proud of myself. I also had to go early to Taekwondo to finish my requirements there. I had a BBC Weekend class, a Sparring Class, a Mentor Session, and a Leadership Credit 2, which I was happy about. I just came back home from Taekwondo, and I have to go to my friend's house for some reason. I think tomorrow is Day 50 of the cycle, which I am happy for.

What a great week for my workouts!  I felt the strongest this week because I did 2 pull ups and when I started this journey, I could not even do 1.  This is a huge accomplishment for me and I really can't wait to see how many I can get to by the end of cycle.  Hoping next cycle Cenzo will be able to join me because he graduated to high red yesterday and broke that board on his final attempt.  Overall a great week!

Today i had a great day. First talked to my friends imto it was time for class. Sdcond we went to music and came back to class to do our ckla quick check i did good on it then it was snack time i ate some chips jello and a juice. Then did a kahoot then did our math quick check i also did good Then ate lunch went outside then came back into the class and did our ss quick check.[ preatty much just quich checks lol].

Long day but a good one. Nice workout this morning followed by some miles then our final day of color belt testing. All in all it was a great testing week and our students should be proud of themselves. I hope everyone has a fantastic Friday!

In the evening I went to work at the ninja gym. I haven't been back to work for a couple of weeks since I needed to help at the dojang with my dad being gone. I missed the gym and the students there, even though they frustrate me sometimes. Afterwards I had my class to teach and also ended up teaching adult class since there was pmaa testing going on in our dojang. I rarely ever teach the adults and I like teaching them. Its a smaller class and they all catch on easily so Master Foster likes to have them practice some advanced drills no matter their belt.

Today I woke up and went to school, like very ordinary day. I finished up an essay in alps which i hope i got a hundred on. I didn’t go to taekwondo today as they are still testing, but i am definitely going tomorrow either to regular lake Norman, or maybe even Harrisburg

Really excited for school tomorrow because I’m not going to have much work that day! But regarding today, I spent a majority of it working on a club project with some classmates. I’m also excited for tomorrow because I might be able to go out somewhere with my friends, so that’s something to look forward to.

Today was good. Happy about Friday eve! At school I had a couple quizzes and a test that went very well. After school we went to run with the high belts and help out at testing, which went great! My mom and little sister tested for high red! After testing they wanted to go to Chick-fil-a, which was very yummy! Now I am doing homework and the rest of the requirements. :)

Today was a good day. I got 26/26 on my social studies test. I did a lot of math homework today and my requirements now going to bed. 

Tomorrow is the last day of makeup work and that's a very good thing. I how everyone is doing well.

Pretty much the same as yesterday. I got up and did some requirements, then headed to school. It was my friend’s birthday so that was cool. After school I went on a run then went to her house and we smashed her cake. After that I went to go help with 2 classes but I only ended up doing one because I had to leave early to work on some school stuff. That’s it.

Today was very tiring from multiple classes last night. Made through school but math class was a blur. It took a lot to want to exercise but I pushed through. Tomorrow is a new day and new challenges. Back to work. 

Today was just boring and normal i went to school and had a test in science which went not in favor but after the test we got assigned more homework than normal which sucked but after school i went ahead and ran because it was actually nice outside today and i had some time before it got dark and i did the rest of my requirements.

Today was pretty good. I went to school and it was mostly the same. Then I came home and did my homework and some requirements. After that I went to TKD and helped with class. I did manage to get a mentee session. However after class I was showing someone my creative form and I twisted my knee really badly on a reverse tornado kick and my knee feels really wonky. Overall my day wasn’t bad and I’m just ready for the weekend.

I qoke up early today and I got my requirements done fast. I went to school and had a bunch of assignments. After school I went to the orthodontist to tighten my braces. 

Day 46: Today was another sick day for me. I stayed home from school and mostly rested and exercised and sleep. I went to play chess with my father and won because I have been practicing chess for 2 years! My mom also made me mac and cheese. It was yummy. Then I ate dinner and went to bed. My parents told me I would go to school tomorrow because I stayed home for two days straight. Have a wonderful Thursday, guys!

Today was a fine day. I woke up fine, got to school, and got work done. Me and my friend were working on the next episode of our show. The animation is almost done, but we still have a little more to go. In math, we did the same thing as yesterday. Reading was the same. For lunch, I had a lunchable. For recess, I played soccer, like always. For intervention, I worked on the show. For science, I learned that I was part of 4 people that got mastery on our test yesterday, so while the other people were doing test corrections, me and my friend were working on the show. For encore, we learned more about weather. After school, I went to taekwondo, lead ups in the warmups, and got a mentor session in after. After all of that, I went to swim. Class ended early because some random...

did requirements went to school help everyone in math went to gym played football outside and went outside in ag. then I got home and did more requirements then i went to the high school and did open house and chose my classes.  

Today was ok, I woke up, went to school, came home, did like 3 math assignments, then watched tv until dinner, then after dinner I did my requirements. I also ran 2 miles at school.

Today was okay. In school today, we did some basic stuff, and I did my work. I had a Spanish test that was a little hard, but I pushed through. In PE, we finished drafting our volleyball teams after finishing our basketball unit. I then came back home and finished my homework. I also finished all my physical requirements. I then got ready for Taekwondo. I got both my leadership credits and then got a mentor session in too. I just returned, and guests were over at my house, so I did my work in my room. I hope tomorrow will be better than today.

Today was a good day. There wasn't anything out of the usual at school. After school I came home and ran 3 miles because it was feeling nice agian, after I ran I finished up all my physical requirements for the day. I wasn't able to go to Taekwondo today however since I had not transportation.

Lots of stuff going on tonight! I went to school and came home with about an hour of homework. I went running and started my other requirements. It was reallly nice to have a break from sparring this week (LKN KT has color belt testing)! I've been working ahead on my requirements to have a break this weekend while I go camping and thats been going ok. I also had to pack for my camping trip tonight because I have about an hour tomorrow at home before I get in the car. My dad made burgers and fries for dinner tonight that were delicious! Tomorrow is my last day of no sweets and I'm so excited!! I hope everyone has had a great week. If you are sick or injured I hope you feel better soon and get to rest over the weekend! ~ Peyton

Today was a normal school day. After finishing up my requirements, I headed to taekwondo. I led kicks and punches, then worked with the green belts on their kicks and their belt‑level poomsae. After that I had my mentee session with Lolitta; we focused on Chil‑chang and Hapkido Number 1, so basically her belt‑level material instead of lower‑belt stuff today. I wrapped up the day by reviewing my Bo‑Cho‑Dan special with Master Weeks. Overall, just a normal Thursday. Hope everyone’s doing well, and good luck with the rest of the cycle. - ⟭⟬ Lalitha Sree Damarla⁷ 

Today I woke up and went to school. Was not looking forward to it because I knew I had two major tests back to back in my first two classes. My 4 hours of studying last night paid off because I got a 97% on my history test. I am still waiting to hear back from math. The rest of the school day was smooth sailing. After school, I came home and started doing my requirements. Since there was no sparring class this week due to colored belt testing, that left me with a couple of hours to relax. Remember, strength does not come from winning against your struggles. Strength comes from facing your struggles and deciding not to give up. - Lucas

Well I finally had to go to the dr and I have the flu and an ear infection so now I know why I've been sick all week. Hopefully with some meds I'll be back in business soon. Hopeing to make it to black belt class tomorrow since I've miss all week.

Today was a pretty chill day first I had to do morning work to do then we went to pe to do our new lesson witch was basketball we did some dribbling and 1v1s so that was fun then did ckla then win time then math then ss.

So excited for today, my son is testing for his high red belt.  I know he can do hard things even if he thinks he can't.  I am such a proud mama bear and can't wait to see where he goes.

Today was a better day but long. My stomach didn't hurt today at school. When I got home I ate a snack and got ready to go to taekwondo class. I worked with my mentee and had sparring and black belt class. I was able to work with my mentor as well. Got home late and ate dinner with my grandparents.

Another night of color belt testing, it went well.  There were a few moments where the student was nervous and had a case of the yips but a little direction or encouragement and they moved on. That's something to remember, your instructors and masters know you at tbis point...if you just make a mistake or are nervous, they can tell. Conversely, if you haven't prepared or simply don't know and are watching others...they can tell. So can your fellow testers. Everyone gets nervous or a little too hyped, just make sure that you have a foundation of strong work and lots of practice. I most definitely get the yips...working on relaxing those nerves. Have an excellent Thursday!

Simple  day today. I woke up for school, and got breakfast there. Their breakfasts aren’t that bad, but it isn’t the best. After school I got all my requirements in for today. I have run day at school tomorrow so I can get in some miles then.

After classes two of our candidates Sid and Brayden wanted to work on their creative form. We did a mentor session where they showed me what ideas they wanted to implement in their form and I would give suggestions if they needed it. They ended up with a good start and some good ideas on what types of things they want to put in the form and it was a lot of fun. I told them to go home and practice what they have and spend some time adding a little more to it.

My day was boring there wasnt much to do i just had a bunch of  homework.

Toady was simple. School was basically the same . After school I had a bunch of homework so I did that and my requirements. After that I went to TKD and took class. I then worked on my creative form with Brayden and came back home. I made some sandwiches for dinner and I’m about to sleep. 

Happy Wednesday everybody. I helped with testing today, that's always fun. The only bummer about it is when someone doesn't get the board break. 

School was alright. I didn't have the best day, but it wasn't terrible. Again, it was just a bunch of reviews or other stuff. I went to the track outside for PE, so I got my mile done there, but I was a little bummed because I brought my Basketball shoes instead of running shoes, so my shoes are now dirty. In Spanish, we played a game to get ready for our test tommorrow which I am a little worried about, but I think I will be fine. When I came back from school, I finished the rest of my physical requirements, ate some food, and then finished my homework. After that, I went to D-Bat for about 2 hours, and my arm hurt for a bit. Once I came back, I took a shower and then ate dinner. I just finished my dinner, and I am about to go to...

Today was completely packed. I woke up at 4:30 to go running before school. I usually run 4 miles before school on Wednesday. When I was right around the two mile point, I had to stop running because for some reason suddenly felt very nauseous. I do not know why this happened, but my body did not agree with something I ate because I completely lost my breakfast into the toilet. I didn't really feel sick after that incident so I got back outside and ran another 2 miles to complete my run. After that, I went to school. Nothing nothing crazy happened at school, just school. When I came home, I started and finished my requirements. Then the rest of my evening was spent studying for a math and history test tomorrow. I spent about 4 hours studying, I am now thoroughly exhausted. - Lucas

Pretty average day. Didn’t really have much homework, so I had a lot of free time to do stuff. I was able to help out junior tigers and get a mentee session. Anyways, I’m probably going to go to bed soon, so hopefully tomorrow is a bit more exciting.

Today was a good day but I’m really tired. I did a black belt class and sparring and mentor session.  I’m glad to get home early so I can go to bed.

Another average day. Did some requirements before school, then went to school and did a whole bunch of nothing, then I came home and ran and finished some more requirements after that. Finally after all that I went to a black belt class and that’s pretty much all of my day.

Today was a good day. School was pretty boring although I was able to leave early after 3rd period where I went to the doctor to help with my chest and foot pains. She said everything was fine and I was still able to continue thankfully and prescribed some medications that helped. With that clarity I was feeling good and came home early so I ran 3 miles while it was feeling nice around my neighborhood. After I did all my physical requirements then went to Taekwondo where I was able to mentee someone before sparring, attended sparring, attended bbc, and get a mentor session in.

I had a good day today, not to bad. I woke up early and got my requirements out of the way. After, I went to school and came straight home. I got a bunch of stuff out of the way and studied for upcoming events.

Today is Wednesday I had school did all of my work, came home, did my home work, worked out and went to TKD.

Today school was async, so it was pretty easy to finish up the work for that. The pain that lasted for the past one week finally went away, so that felt nice. Afterward I headed to taekwondo. I had a mentor session with Master Weeks first, then helped with the Senior Tiger class where I led kicks/punches and worked specifically with a blue belt and a high blue belt with their poomsae and self-defenses. After a while we moved into sparring which was a usual routine, and then in Black Belt class we went over Yuk‑chang, had another mentor session and did Hapkido 1–3 with Aiden :> Overall, just a normal Wednesday. Hope everyone’s doing well, and good luck with the rest of the cycle. - ⟭⟬ Lalitha Sree Damarla⁷ 

Today was pretty good. I loved the weather! At school I had a few quizzes and tests that went well. I also had the pacer test at school. After school we when to help at color belt testing, which was good. Now I am doing the requirements and doing some homework. :)

Today was alright I guess, it was pretty boring though. I woke up to go to school, then after school, I went home and did my homework and watched tv, and did my requirements. Later I ate dinner and now I'm typing this. By the way we went to the field for PE today so I had a chance to run 2 miles.

Today was ok. I got to school fine, got all my work done, and made a chess game. Me and my friend tried to play it, but we could not for some reason. In math today, we did a worksheet where we put the letter based off the answer we got from the math problem. In reading, we read our book. For lunch today, I had sliders and fruit. At recess, I played soccer. After that was all tests. I went to church after. I ate mac and cheese, green beans, and popcorn chicken. I played soccer and chess at church.

"Nothing is impossible, the word itself says 'I'm possible.'" Quoted by Audrey Hepburn. A reminder that challenges can be overcome and your mindset is what matters. My day was ok, I'm going camping this weekend with my Scout troop, so I'm excited! Since Sunday I've been trying to get ahead because I won't have a lot of time to do requirements there. We leave Friday night and don't get back until Sunday morning. I hope everyone is having a good week! Keep up the great work! ~ Peyton

Day 3 of being sick and im over it.Feeling some better today and starting to have more energy. Im trying to keep up with school work and stuff so I don't get too far behind. But my teacher caught this mess and was out today. Im ready to be better and back at it.

Day 45: I did not really adore today's events! First, I had to go to the school nurse because I threw up! Then, once I came home all I could do was sit in bed. I am not sure if I will attend black belt class but I must do it because it's part of the cycle. Then I ate dinner and went to bed although I was still awake. Have a good day everone.

Today was a good day ran two miles helped with class and took another class i was also filling in more questions on my test some of them were pretty easy others one took more then 20 minutes of searching im aiming for around 90 this year since I got 83 last time anyways peace

Today I woke  up and my stomach was hurting really bad but I went to school anyway. By lunch time I was feeling better but my stomach was still hurting a little. When I got home, I took a quick nap and was able to help out in Taekwondo class. After class I went home and Gigi had dinner ready and when I finished eating I felt better. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day.

Color belt testing went well tonight. One of our white belts was so nervous and had been struggling with moving his left leg...remembering to move that leg instead of his right or both when moving into cheryeot or joombee. He did so well! Super proud of him and loved how proud he was of himself. It's easy to forget sometimes that at one time we were all white belts who struggled or yellow belts that always moved the wrong foot when turning in Il Jang. And also to forget the joy of figuring out your poomsae or that new kick. We have to do a lot of work and requirements to get to where we all are, make sure that you let yourself feel the joy of it too. Happy Wednesday tomorrow! 

My day was good school was annoying as usual especially spainish class. But when I came home I called one of my old friends all the way from Jordan i havent talked to him or seen him in over 6 years. 

Back to school today. It was an alright day, but what surprises me is that we are almost done with the 3rd quarter of school.  After school, I did 1 mile outside and also did my requirements for today and caught up a little. No tkd today as testing is happening.

My dad flew home from California today. He came straight to the dojang from the airport and taught our adult class. I'm not surprised at all knowing him even though he had a full day of flying. Jakhye taught our first junior tigers class today and I taught the second. 

Mo deep thoughts today. Only shallow ones. Thank you folks I'll be here all week.

Today was a normal school day. I got my requirements done, but I’m just tired physically and mentally, the pain stopped too, hopefully! I also finished another essay too, and I’m planning to lock in tomorrow. Hope everyone’s doing well, and good luck with the rest of the cycle. - ⟭⟬ Lalitha Sree Damarla⁷ ♪(^∇^*) 

Today was alright, I woke up, and worked on my lit project, then watched tv for most of the day. Then later I ran 2 miles on my treadmill and did my requirements.

We’re back at school today sadly but it wasn’t that bad honestly. I had an English test which I got a 110 on so that was really good. Finally actually got started on my Spanish project. For the rest of my classes it was pretty chill. Then I came home and knocked out the rest of my requirements. Had my friend do kicking and self defense with me aswell. Later I helped with the adult class and also got a mentee session so that was good.

Today was a pretty good day. We came back to school after a three day weekend which was tiring. After I went home and did my physical requirements and finished up some homework I had. I then went and volunteered at the charlotte meal packing from 6:00-7:30.

Today was a cool day. I woke up fine. I went to school, did all my work and got all my work done. Everything from math to reading, was what we have been doing the past couple of days. For lunch, I had lo mein. For recess, I played soccer. I did not score since the ground was wet. We won the soccer game 4 - 1. In intervention, I did more work. In encore, we did review for a dance that was so hard, only did 3 classes of doing the dance, and also 4 minutes long. Then the teachers want to get mad when they failed to teach us quick enough. After school, me and my mom went grocery shopping. Then we went back home. I did not go to taekwondo tonight because I had a basketball game. It was the first playoff game, and we won 61 -...

Today felt like a Monday, start of the school week and just drousy getting up this morning. But at least we only have 3 more days left in the week! My day was ok, nothing happened at school. I got home, started requirements and then went to scouts. I was elected into the OA (Order of the Arrow) tonight which is basically like the Honors Society of school but for scouts so yay! I got home and finished up requirments, ate dinner, and getting ready for bed now! Have a great Wednesday! ~ Peyton

Today was very normal, nothing really happened. We had kind of a busy morning and at school we had a Chinese New Year party thing. After school we went to TKD to help at color belt testing, which went well. When we got home I did some homework and requirements. Now I am getting ready for bed. :)

today was as chill as it could get. I played video games with my friends. see ya. :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) 

Today was a pretty chill day. I didn’t have school today so I chilled the whole day. I woke up at 10 and started basketball training outside at 11. After an hour of training, I had to go to this passport picture thingy. Then I played a video game and then I went outside to play more basketball. The only bad thing today was I couldn’t get credits today since there was color belt testing and not class. 

woke up when to school play pickle ball in gym and got home and played with my brother with the football and watch Moon knight and now watching daredevil and did a project. 

Today is Tuesday I went to school, did all of my work, came home and did a workout then I went to TKD and came home.

I woke up early and got my requirements done early. After I got that out of the way I went to school and had some after school activites. I went straight home and finished my homework. I got to relax and study for upcoming exams.

I had a decent day today. When I went to school, I didn't do much hard work, except for some review. I did get some homework that will take me some time, so that was kind of annoying, but that's okay. We also had a choice day in PE today, so that was really fun. I didn't do much in Spanish either. When I came back for school, I ate some food because I was hungry and then finished some of my homework, but not all. I then went to Taekwondo to help out with class because I am kind of slacking with "Leadership 1 Credits." I also got a mentee session in, so it was a pretty productive day. I just came back home and finished my physical requirements. I also have to finish the rest of my homework and then have a class later. 

Today was a regular day at school. Taking a study hall this year is really paying off because I usually complete homework in my study hall and not my evening which is used for physical requirements. When I came home from school, I jumped into the daily requirements. Soon after, I worked really hard on my creative form again. I ended up practicing in my backyard because there is a lot more space to try things out. I am planning to go to bed early tonight so I can wake up energized for my run tomorrow morning before school. - Lucas  

Day 44: Today was a busy school day because of all the work we had! At school, I had two homework passes, which I used to cancel my homework for the week. Once I came home, I started bicycling in rounds 5 times in only ten minutes. I also ran for the time being, so I could save my time! Then, I did my exercise and practice, which was not too hard. I also had a dictionary I got on day 42, so I read the vocabulary words and it was fun! Then, I ate lunch and played dead rails! I like all the updates they put while I was gone. After that, I ate some batter-made food which was a Indian type. It's called Idili! I ate some dinner after that and brushed my teeth. I read my dictionary one more time before going to bed, too. I finally went...

Well im still feeling super sick and have been at home trying to rest and get well. Im starting to get bored and ready to go back to school. Im still keeping up with my requirements other than running gonna have to make that up over the weekend.

After a long week of feeling tired and unmotivated, I pushed through over the weekend and finally feel like myself again. I’m especially excited for this week because my kiddo is finally testing for High Red. He has worked so hard, and I couldn’t be more proud of him.

Busy classes today, last day before three days of color belt testing. Lots of good work today, even with students who aren't quite ready yet.  And reviewing with others who are. Had a session with my mentees working on Hapkido and planned out our next session for some more Hapkido, the forms specifically. I also worked on Third Dan self-defenses in class tonight with Instructor Rob and Master Chelley. Lots of good work today, which is great because I am very sore from our poomsae class on Sunday. Two words : stability ball. Shout to Ms. Marina-- she rocked it!

Today was a good day ran two miles went to weapons class and helped out with another class also yesterday I had a mentee session with master dege and went to Sunday sparing class i love sparing I might be able to do a grass-roots category tournament in April anyways peace

My day was good I didn’t do much but I went to ihop for breakfast with my sister. Then did a a bunch of errands with my dad. Later I randomly got in contact with one of my child hood friend and I haven’t talked with him in over 6 years.

With the days getting warmer I made sure to spend a good amount of time outside today. Running feels so much better now that its not so cold. For classes I taught one of the junior tigers and my brother taught the other. They were both good classes and I like the change. I'm definitely more comfortable teaching senior tigers but junior tigers are a lot of fun too. 

Today was boring, all I did was sit at home all day until it was time to go to TKD for a mentee and mentor session. Then I went home and did my requirements.

I'm digging these warmer days. No notes at the moment earth weather.

Another productive day today. I woke up and thankfully had no school, so I didn’t have to wake up at like 6:30. School is an alright place to be, I don’t like getting up early, but it’s fun to be there sometimes. Anyways I had breakfast, and ran 2.5 miles around the neighborhood. Then I relaxed for majority of the day, getting my requirements in and then going to taekwondo where I assisted and took class. That’s it for today

Toady was simple. I had school off and did some requirements. After that I played call of duty with my friends and went to TKD after. I took class and went home. After I got home I had some chicken rice for dinner and I’m about to sleep.

Today was a good day.  I was out of school for President’s day.  I spent time with family and went to top golf.  

woke up to Hudson and his friend then I walk my dogs and feed them, and mom woke up and got coffee then I did missing work and watch them play fortnight. then we played outside with the football and tag then his friend and Hudson whet to his friend's house and i went to taekwondo and i help with junior tigers.

Had the day off today, so I spent a majority of the day relaxing and playing video games. After I did my requirements, I went to help out the junior tigers then I did my black belt class. My mentee hasn’t been coming lately, so I might need to find a new one.

Today was kind of weird because I couldn’t tell if I was feeling better or worse; the pain kept coming in waves, so it was just… confusing. But I still finished my requirements. After that I went to PMAA, then helped with the Senior Tiger class. Later I had my mentor session where we went over Tae Kwon Il and a few other poomsaes. Overall, just a normal Monday. Happy Presidents Day too! Hope everyone’s doing well, and good luck with the rest of the cycle.  - ⟭⟬ Lalitha Sree Damarla⁷ ♪(^∇^*) 

Today was a cool day. I woke up fine, no motion sickness, and well rested. After I woke up, I went to iFly to start my day. I have not been to iFly in 1 and a half months. I did good today at my lesson. I did a solo high flight, side slides, and entering and exiting the wind tunnel solo. It was fun doing iFly today. After that, me and my mom went to cracker barrel for brunch. I had pancakes and eggs at cracker barrel. After that, I just hung out at my house until I had to go to taekwondo. I help out with the juniors, I got mentored, did all my requirements, and did a high belt class. My mentee was not here tonight, so I guess I just have to find another one for now until she comes back. After that, I had dinner at...

Today was a pretty good day. I was feeling better today although my leg was still slightly hurting. I did all my physical requirements earlier because my grandma was taking me out for lunch. After that unfortunately my mentee wasn't able to come before the monday class so I wasn't able to do anything book wise but I did still attend the monday class.

Today I woke up and actually had to go to school today. I feel like every school in the area except for my school had the day off because of Presidents Day. School was pretty lowkey because three of my teachers were not here today. After school, I went to King Tiger for leadership credits. When I came home from King Tiger, I started and finished my requirements. I really started to craft my creative form this evening in my spare time. The rest of the evening had nothing else going on.

Today was pretty good and busy. On Saturday we left to go camping at LKN state park, which was very fun! We also did our digital detox during that. We got home this morning and unpacked. Then I played outside for a while with my sister. Then I did I the requirements, it was great weather for a run! Then we went to TKD. We learned some of hokido! Now we are watching American Idol! :)

Today was amazing! I slept in until about 8, did some homeowork and started requirements. Around lunch time my dad and I drove to the greenway where I ran 4 miles. The weather was so nice today and felt so good to run on flat ground becuase neighborhood is very hilly! After that I got a smoothie from Smoothie King and finished the rest of my requirements. Finished off with work today, helping the kiddos getting ready for color best testing Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. I had a great mentor session with Master Natasya, working on double stick form 2 and she even taught me some Korean vowels today! ~ Peyton

Today was very productive. After black belt class on Saturday my family and I went to stay in a cabin at LKN state park. It was so much fun and we did so much hiking. I did my digital detox during that time too. Anyway, we got back home today so I had to do some cleaning and unpacking. I also got to finish quite a few of my essays. I went on a nice walk and then I went to KT. I’m glad that today was off but unfortunately it’s back to school tomorrow. Great work everyone!

Day 43: Today was a great day to play outside! Not as lame as yesterday while it rained. I did all of my martial arts daily task in the morning, so that saved me a lot of time! I played pickleball, scootering, and doing some running and bicycling too. Then, I ate dinner and went to read a book. After that I drowsed off and went to bed. Have a awesome day, guys!

Today is Sunday I woke, up said Happy Birthday to my brother, Wylie, studied for TKD, then I went to wrestling team dinner, after that I came home with my friend then did a workout and sparred and hung out for the rest of the night.

Today is Monday I woke up from having a sleepover with my friend, did a workout, then later in the day I did a part of another workout, studied, and went on a 3 mile run with my dad.

Today was alright. I’m pretty much fully recovered from whatever pain I was having last week. I ran 2 miles today and PR’d on that so I’m happy about it. Also got my hair redone. Now I just finished my requirements and I have to do school work to prep for going back tmrw. 

Happy President's Day, guys. Today has been pretty chill and fun so far. It was my friend's birthday party at Topgolf, and I had a lot of fun. I ate a lot of food, and my stomach was filled to the brim. I didn't get to play as much because I forgot to join the games, but I took some of my friend's turns and hit decently, considering my last time playing golf. After the party, my parents picked me up to go to my annual doctor appointment, and it was pretty standard. I was all fine, and then we headed to the car dealership to get a free car wash. It was closed, so that was pretty annoying, but we just came back home. After I reached home, I was really tired, so I took a quick nap, but then finished all my physical requirements. After that, I played basketball outside...

So I have been off for a few days maybe longer time is going by so fast. I am just frustrated with myself. I seem like i train and train and train and do not retain it for a long period of time, and like today I was fine when I woke up but by the mid moring my back hurt so much I could not bend down to pick up a sock. Just crazy. I tried to do forms and self defense this late afternoon and did a few but the pain is just to much. We will see ho it goes tomorrow. 

Well I started feeling bad yesterday so im home from school today and laying on my couch. So just gonna be a tv day for me and hopefully I can get to feeling better so I can go to school and class tomorrow.

Today was pretty basic. I had the whole day to myself with nothing planned so requirements were easy to finish. Not enjoying the rain as it gets pretty muddy outside and I almost slipped a couple times. This weekend has felt weird because my dad is in California visiting my grandparents the environment at home has felt different. Also with the dojang too since Master Knight taught the senior tigers on Saturday which my dad usually teaches.
