ughh i walked sooo much today! so first, we woke up at like 8, than parked the car somewere, and went to go get breakfast at the student services.but, we forgot to take the passes. than we went all the way back to the car, but my mom went straight, when we were suppoesed to turn right, and we got all mixed up. with what floor is the car on? what building is it in? and there were 3 buildings. so it was really nice. than we ate breakfast, my mom went to a student meeting sort of thingy, and we(heloise, yseult and i)went to the library. than we went to the football game, that was really fun. exept that it was raining. than we went to a barbeque, than we went to another library, where we just slept. and my sister took a video of me sleeping. than we went...

Wow! What a great weekend so far! The PMAA seminar in Myrtle Beach was great! It was the first time I did the Friday night seminar, and Saturday morning. I learned a lot, and had a great experience. Even though my wrists are definitely feeling it, what an awesome time!

Today I spent 3 hours at the Do jang working on requirements with Tyler, we got alot done. It was raining all day so spent the rest of the day relaxing. Hope to work out again sometime, it was great!

Today I spent three hours at the dojang with Chey doing lots of requirements. Then I wrote an essay and relaxed.

Another rainy day for a walk, not as I expected it to turn out. I wish that it didn't rain because then there wouldn't be so much mud on the ground. Luckily we wore our rain coats so most of our body would be protected from the rain. But even with all that rain I still enjoyed the walk with my mom and brother. I also can't wait for my dad to come home tomorrow. On our walk the ground was very muddy and I tried not to step in the mud, but at least I came prepared with my sandals so they can get wet and my tennis shoes would get wet so I also came prepared for that too. But besides all that my walk was pretty nice.

Today I did a lot of requirements because I know I am not going to have a lot of time next Saturday because of the test. We didn't go anywhere because it is raining outside. I also studied my written test. Have all the answers now.

Today I am doing the special needs challenge, chose mute. It is so frustrating and annoying to not be able to talk. A few minutes ago we ate Breakfast. Now I am watching the hero show Hero Reborn and the old one Hero. It is a cool show and interesting too. Anyways I think today is going to be a good day. I can not wait for tomorrow. See you. Bye.

...and my parents are making me do a journal. I wanted to go watch TV but I have to do this first. The benefit to doing it now is that I don't have to come back and do it tonight. I had fun sleeping. I feel like I slept nicely. I don't remember any dreams from last night. I'm still in my pajamas and I can't believe they are making me write this so early. I don't know what else to say. I'm not all the way awake yet. Bye bye. I'm tired.

Today was not as good as a Friday I had hoped it to be. The rivalry game and pep rally got postponed to Monday but it'll be just as good.

We had a half day today! Immediatly after school we drove to chapel hill to see my older sis. It was fun. We ate at bojangles. I really do not like fast food meats, for my opinion, it's pretty disgusting. We than met up with heloise and we met her boyfreind, than we talked to her room mate Christina, but we new her before. Than we went at target and spent over 200$ on stuff that my older sister needed. Over all, today was very fun. I hope you had a nice day too!

I just learned that my sister is like the rudest person ever. I mean like we're supposed to reminde each other to email someone and she does it and doesn't reminde me. I mean like come on? She lost my trust.

Today I was doing the mute challenge and I was so close to finishing. I was playing a game and there were a lot of cheaters so I started yelling at them. I was at King Tiger and a girl heard me so started yelling that I had talked. Mrs. Debbie heard this and told Mrs. Jen. Since I didn't make it I'm going to try the one hand challenge for half a day. I think I'll do that challenge tonight while I sleep. Good night.

Great day today with lots of progress on the tkd front. PMAA this evening and I survived - - -lot to absorb - - and some actually stuck. Looking forward to tomorrow.

today was fun because it was Friday.  Today I had a literacy test it was really rays I think I got a hundred.  Then in math I had a test but didn't get to finish it but she lets us do it another day. Then in science we did a experiment and it was really cool they had a cup and a postit note inside of it and the air block out all the water an the post it's isn't get wet!!  It was really cool then in social studies I had a test for the whole period!! It was so boring but I got a good grade.  When I got home I ate tacos for dinner and they were good.  When we finished dinner we played a game we didn't get to finish it but it was fun.  That was my day..

Today I did all of my daily requirements and went to school today. After that I just chilled because it was a friday and played some xbox at my fiends. And then I ate dinner with my family. I had a fun day today.

today i didn't do anything and won't be doing anything this weekend because I'm not going to the pmaa myrtle beach training

Today I got requirements done at the open 5:00-6:00 class and had lots of fun working on kicks, poomsae's, and self-defense with everyone that had showed up. I also went running with my friend Tyler.

My final walk was with my mom and brother. My dad left to train at Myrtle Beach so he could get to level ten for Philippine Combative. I just can't wait for him to come home and tell me about what he did. So we started our walk and the rain stopped and we were just walking on the gravel talking and having a good time. We entered Canterbury Rd. where the gravel road was left behind. We started to climb the short hill then go straight. After that we entered Surry Rd. and when we got to the end we turned around but that's when it started to rain. My mom was not very happy but my brother was excited and started to run. We then all ran trying to get back to the house before the storm drenched us. We finally made it safely home after about .3 miles....

Today, i did my empathy training essay. It was hard! I cant believe people have to be like that every day. Well besides that, i went to Walmart to get some things.

Today I left school early because I am going to the myrtle beach pmaa seminar so I had to get here I am still in the car

Today I was mute the whole day. I was lucky that I had a half-day, but I still had to be mute when I came home. Since I was mute, I could still do my requirements which was good. I finished my essays.

This week has been a blast, let me tell you what I did. On Monday we started a new skill not really new but

We had a teacher workday today. There was training in the morning, but the rest of the day was chill. It was nice having a break from the students. I should probably get more work done. I will live.

Getting ready to travel to Myrtle Beach for PMAA testing for my 3rd Lakan.Not nervous, just not looking forward to the whole deal.

We had testing on Wednesday and Thursday. I'm very pleased to see everyone do so well. The school is growing slowly, but it's growing. It's nice to get hugs by the little students. They make it worthwhile.

Today I had to get a shot. Ugh. It's one of those things that, you have to get 3 shots over a year. I think it like prevents this sort of cancer. I dunno. This actaully hurt more than the normal shot. It made my arm sore and hurt reallllly bad after. :p. School was fun, tomorrow is a half day! Because I had to get my shot at 4, and piano at 6:30 till 7:30, piano was right smack in the middle of both tkd and swimming.have a nice weekend!(I'm going to UNC to visit my older sister)

Today at school was not a very good day. During Language Arts class we had to about 50 problems. Then in Spanish class we were suppose to play a traditional Latin American game, but people were loud so we had an essay on traditional Latin American games. Finally in Social Studies class my class was loud again so we had another essay, this time on the refugee crisis in Europe. It didn't end there, at home my mom said that we were not going camping this weekend because there was a 90% chance of rain. She said the next time we could go camping is maybe earliest Spring and latest Summer. That was my bad day.

Tonight during black belt class I lead the first part of the warm-ups. I was very excited as I walked to the front of the class. I smiled a little while walking up and didn't feel nervous at all. I was ready to tackle this task and complete it to the end. I had a great time leading and used my loud voice to echo across the room so everyone could hear me. After I was finished I jogged back feeling proud of what I've done and thinking about that at the end of class I would get the requirement signed off.

todaywas pretty easy I went to school and I just went to the room and  did all my stuff when I got to my first period we could get this test signed and get extra points so I got it signed and got extra points.  When I finished school I got total Kwon do and had snack and did all my homework it wasn't much it was pretty easy.  When class started o lined up in the back like I was saposed to because him doing the white belt challenge this week.  So far it's pretty fun and that was my day.

Today, i went to school. i was happy because tomorrow was no school! I also did an essay and went to help out in the family class.

Today was the testing for striped belts. Everyone did great! Congratulations Leah on getting your Bocho!!!!!

Today i went to school and got time to finish my homework in class and i did finish it in class. So i had no homework for the day. I then took Spanish class at the end of the day. Which was fun! I am currently in Spanish 2. Then i went home and took time to make my belly full. I got spaghetti and that was mm mm good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today i went to black belt class but i didn't feel to good. my head hurt a bit but i made it through

So I am going mute tomorrow as my disability for the day. My school teacher said that I could just write down what I need to say on a piece of paper. I'm nervous because I think it will be hard to for the whole day. My brother mentioned that he remembered a girl named Miranda going mute for her black belt cycle. I think I will miss talking the most at lunch and recess. All the other parts of the day will be pretty good except for when I work in a group if I have to explain things to other people.

Art class is killing me, i cant think of any collage ideas, and i have to make two of them!! What am i going to do. The funny thing is that i can help all my friends with their collage project, but i cant think of anything. I'm really close to just sticking a dog's head to cat's body, Art.

Today was the same old day as everyday. I got to school, we had our classes, had lunch, specials, recess, and went home. Then I went to King Tiger and helped out with class. Then my mom picked me up and took me home. We had dinner and now we are just chilling.

Today in school we started to learn how to study for tests in every class. I am going to have a mentor session with Master Randle. Then i will go to black let class.

today i went to school and then i came home and i did my Spanish homework

I dont think i can goto the PMAA beach thing anymore. I dont have a ride there so yeah. Well I can catch up on my school work this weekend then.

Today was felt like another Friday which made it go by very fast because everyone was in a good mood.

Today was felt like another Friday which made it go by very fast because everyone was in a good mood.

I am definitely getting psyched for the PMAA seminar this weekend in Myrtle Beach! In other years, I was only able to train for one day of the seminar in SC. This time I will get a chance to do 2. It is always fun training with Guro Melegrito, and getting to know new faces is great, too.

IT WORKED IT WORKED IT WORKED!!!!! YAYAYAYAYAYAY FINALLY!!! Actually I have never tried but Iv never seen anyone do it. oooooohh I wanna see if you can publish a video. That would be coooolll...

So here I write. Ok it wouldn't let me publish this picture. So I'm in art. I'm bored but yeah. This is a project about your finger print and you like write in the lines in sharpie then you erase it and get a finger prints made of words. This is my small rough draft.

Hi ho- - hi ho- - hi ho- - it's off to the beach we go!!! Yup day early and could care less if it rains -- I have mental health days away from work so looking forward to some time away. Still up early --pushups/sit ups done and even got a run in. Now time to clean up, pack then hopefully requirements on the beach this afternoon. Safe travels everyone!!

Today was a nice day because for all of CMS today was a day off so I relaxed got some requirements done and then I went to class later in the day

Today was pretty fun I went to my friends house the whole day.  When I was there we played video games and watched YouTube.  After we watched YouTube we did need wars for a little bit then jumped on his trampoline for a while after that we played video games for a while again and then they took me home the I just watched tv at the house did my tae Kwon do stuff for a long time. After that we started a board game with my grandma no I'm here.

Today, i went to school and nothing was fun there. When i came back, i did sparring class. When i came back, i took a shower and got ready to go somewhere.

Today I started reading the second book in the series 39 Clues. I did not know this but the 39 Clues Books are written by different authors. The first is written by Rick Riodan. The second is written by Gordon Korman. The third is written by Peter Larengis and is titled The Sword Thief. So far in book 2 Dan and Amy Cahill have gone into catacombs but not like spooky scary bone catacombs. More like narrow hallway maze catacombs. They eventually found their way out by following a light source. They did not know what it was at first but it lead them to a room with lots of drums. The tried to move a drum but they were stuck in place. They found a metal ladder blocking the way out. They heave-ho'ed and brought it down. On the other side there were lots of figures in black robes. Da...

Yesterday I went to teen council for the first time. It was really fun! We(my sister and I) saw Eli,(from King tiger lake Norman) and we talked. I'm also a bit confused, last cycle when my brother did it, he had to learn Korean for his new skill. Do we Also have to? Not that I'm complaining at all.:D. Today was fun, in language arts(I have to share this) I did badly one time on a grammer quiz, and she gave us another quiz today about it(I had gone to her tutoring) and I was the only one who got a 100!i was really happy(Im just sharing some good news, don't take it badly) so yah. I hope you had a wonderful day! Have a wonderful night!( oh and btw, I went to 2 classes, first help, second take, master Evins decided to drop in for the first,I thought that was...

Today I went mute for twelve hours. It felt like throwing words into a dumpster. Putting all of that knowledge and throwing out did of my brain like it's trash. It wasn't fun and during my home school with my dad I had so much things that I really wanted to say but I knew that I couldn't so, I did my best to keep quiet. In the morning I thought that it was just going to be really quick and just like that I'll be able to speak again, but I was wrong. It did not feel good at all. Now I understand why people with that sort of disability And why they feel bad about it because know I can relate to that type of style. Later on in the afternoon my dad found a board for me so I can write on it to communicate. I felt really...

Well Wednesdays are just not progressive on the TKD front. Got home and construction mess was priority then off to Home Depot. The him & I were definitely the entertainment of the night for the employee's. Back & forth between the carpet, tile, bathroom vanity they finally had to mediate. Oh husband of mine please stick to golf and building things- - - Martha Stewart you are not. I was able to register for the 5K and happy that our community service is for the Levine Children's Hospital again. Like the fact that 100% goes to the cause and not admin expenses. I know we will have a great team!!!

Today I had a ok day at school and I started a new book called novice and its pretty cool.

Today I went to King Tiger for camp because today was a teacher workday. We did a lot of fun stuff. We played electronics, and we played some games on the front mat. It was really fun.

Hung out in Las Vegas with my parents and my aunt and uncle this weekend. Feeling very grateful that my parents are healthy and well and mobile at 70 and 72 years old. They loved the Cir du Solei show, O, at the Belagio. None of us gamble or drink, so much of the strip was an anathema to them. They went to the Grand Canyon while I took the red eye back to Charlotte. I'm still recuperating.    Did a lot of walking over the weekend, but no requirements. I'll get some essays done this weekend. I was looking forward to class this weekend, but got the email about no class this weekend. Guess it will be a good weekend to get more requirements done. Gotta get back into my shallow groove.

today i had fun. i played football with my brothers and cousins

Ankle is sore. I can still do push-ups using my Push-Up Pump. And of course sit-ups are no problem. I'm going through poomsaes and self defense very, very cautiously. No jump rope, running or sparring rounds for me, though. I'm still walking as much as possible and counting those miles. Essays are almost finalized and ready to turn in. The cycle is flying by.

Woke up early did some requirements before school. Tonight I helped with solid belt testing. Good job everyone!!!

Today I had another mentor session with Master Randle. We worked on Basic Form 1 2 and 3. We also worked on hapkido and bo cho dan self defenses. We also did koryo. I did sparring class and helped out in a class. We got a lot of sparring rounds in sparring class today

Today I did all of my daily requirements and played with my baby brother for some time. After that I did my homework and ate lunch with my family. I am going to go to Tae Kwon Do at 6:45 to help and try to get a Leadership 2 Credit.

Had a great black belt class and PMAA class yesterday with Master Evins teaching. It was a challenge in PMAA to practice abeniko strikes with the left hand! Ran 2 miles and walked 2 miles this morning. I also registered to run in the Hopebuilders 5K! Go team King Tiger!

Today was a ok day at school and I got a lot done in TKD.

Hurt, Hurt, Hurt.... It makes me so tired. I am truly trying. I get so frustrated and I only know how to push on. I think my pull ups are getting a little closer to actually moving in an upward direction. That is such a big deal to me! I want SO badly to actually be able to do just one pull-up. I had an encounter that involved the police today too.. that took a toll on me, and MASTER SHIN, you will be glad to know I behaved myself (I really think I did good) , and the encounter was NOT because of anything I did. Yeah! I'm tired, I've got a lot to do still, but my body is screaming for rest. So tomorrow, if allowed, I will head into another day with grace and humility. Testing in Belmont tomorrow too. I always enjoy being a part of that....

My ankle is killing me today. I almost cried like a baby in class tonight. Came home, did push ups, sit-ups, walked through poomsaes and self defense, soaked in Epsom salts, iced the ankle again and now it's elevated. I'm going to skip class Thursday to rest up for the PMAA training camp this weekend. I have a lot of requirements left. Trying not to get discouraged.

Today at school we had our Student Council speeches, we don't vote until Thursday. Many people ran for Historian, Secretary, Vice President, President, and Class Rep. People running would say a speech to 5-10 grade in the atrium. If you ran for Class Representative you would say it to the class. The sad thing was they did it during our lunch time, so we only had half the time to eat our lunches. In Social Studies we learned that the US was going to take in 10,000 refugees, but now are going to try to take 100,000 refugees. In Black Belt class we went over most of our poomsaes. That is all for today.

Today, we had no teacher in our classroom! We had to switch classrooms often. When i came back, i did my requirements. Then i went to black belt class.

Today I finally got my braces off of my teeth and it took all day because I had one appointment at 10:30 and then another at 2:30. But it pays off because I have looking teeth

Didnt really do anyting special today. just a normal day of school and requriments

Good day today - - I am just going to keep plugging along and do what I can do. Very confused on learning some of the new but it will eventually sink in- -just takes me a little longer.

I helped for all of the classes and then did the black belt class, we got a lot of requirements done.

Today i want to black belt class and got another Mentee session and had fun in class

Tonight when I got home Mom was watching another episode of Bones on Netflix. It is about a woman named Temperance Brennan who is a forensic anthropologist and a man named Seeley Booth who is an agent in the FBI. They work together to solve murder cases. There are 9 seasons and we are on Season 8. There is a lot of science in the show which is part of why I like it. There is also some mystery and action which I like too. In the last episode someone tried to kill Temperance with a bullet made from frozen blood. A man named Hodgens is my favorite character. He is a scientist who studies bugs and wood and slime. I don't know exactly what he studies but I like him.

i went to school then i came home and went to Tae Kwon Do practice and got some leadership credits

Today I had another mentor session with Master Randle. We went over stick form 1 and Hapkido. We also did Pal Gwe Il and Yi, and Basic form 1 and 2. I knew 1pretty well but was really shaky on 2.

Today was picture day for my school and we took our pictures in the morning. I wore my hope collared shirt while my other friends were wearing their church shirts. We went up to the hill to take our photos, I was fifth in line with Cooper while the other boys were in the back. When it was my turn I was a bit nervous but I stepped up the hill and he positioned me. He took four pictures and later on the other boys went. They were talking in line and the picture man was calling them a lot. Then we took a class picture and had to get back to class to find our math test waiting for us.

Today I did not feel good. My friend "forced" me to go to the office so I went. I like was really hurting.

so today, we left early because my sister didnt feel good. My mom has a dentist appointment. school was fun, in math, we dont have homework! yay! for once, but i need to write a paragraph for tomorrow. havea nivce day!

Had a great mentor session with Master Cavazos this morning! Worked on all of the Pal Gwe poomsaes. Feeling much better on Il-Sa. Oh still needs work for sure, but getting better.

I'm feeling a little better this morning. This week is going to be busy with testing at Bemont and PMAA beach training this weekend. I wish the weather at the beach would be better. Looks like we're expecting rain all day on Saturday. Looking forward to attending PMAA this evening. Things are starting to "click" now.

Its been a long day. Still working on requirements... and edits. I'm trying to fit a few requirements in and stretch every little bit. I really should be going to be but the to do list just seems never ending and today was one of those days where everything I had planned didn't go in the direction I had planned it. Either way, I'm about to miss my midnight cutoff so I will have to add more in the next journal. Health is hanging on okay today..

Feeling like blah. I think when I powerwashed my parent's house, I must have inhaled the cleaner. My nasal passages are irritated and I feel congested. My strength is still good, but my head feels like it's in the clouds. I hope to shake this off by Wednesday, when we hold testing in Belmont.

Today was pretty chill I just went to school had some homework but got it done. When I got to tae Kwon do I did my homework and then got dressed but it wasn't a class like always I am doing the white belt challenge this week and it was really fun today because I got to review all the old white belt stuff and that was really fun and when u finished class I took the adult class and that was fun.  When that was over I took kickboxing with Leo witch was fun because he is usually never there so that was my day

Today I did my daily requirements and went to school. After that I came home and went to Tae Kwon Do. After that I went home and ate dinner. I had a fun day today.

Very easy laid back monday to enjoy after school with a big basketball game and great dinner. One of the best Mondays hands down

Today was my birthday, i had lots of fun. i went to school then i came home and i went to scouts

Today i had a normal day at school and when i came back, i did some requirements. Then, i went to hyper.

Happy Birthday to the Hedlund Ladies!!!!! Crazy busy day today ending with an awesome black belt class. Inst. Tucker met us for a mentor session and think something clicked tonight - -yippie - -happy dance. After meeting we had black belt class and Master Chin & Inst. Hsin brought it on strong. My mind is still spinning but it is all good. The key will be tomorrow how much I retained.

Today I had a project and they just sprung this 54 question test on us, which was kindve frustrating but I get to watch my football team the jets so that is good.

Today I went to kickboxing. Holden, Mr. and Mrs. Hutchinson and Master Chelley were there tonight. It was really fun. I liked the music a whole lot. I got 21 sparring rounds and my Dad participated. My dad was doing really well on his kicks. He got really tired and almost passed out. In fact I had to drive him home he was so tired. Now I need to go put him to bed with his stuffed animals. Good night.

This morning I went to the doctor's office and after that I went home to get ready for class. I went to all classes, taking only one, the rest I helped with.

I got to go camping this weekend with the family. What a blast! I owe a lot to my wife for making the weekend work. She did a lot of the work and it made a short weekend great. Can't wait to go again.

Today, after school I went to my friend's house. When we got there we took off our shoes, he had some nerf pistols out and I took one and started shooting it across the house. Then I found one of his other guns and it had two connected guns on it. I never saw a nerf gun like this before and put it back down to go outside. He also got one of the new types of scooters and let me try it out. It was hard but I figured it out. What you have to do is put your feet on these pads and swing your legs side to side to go forward. I went down the hill with the scooter and he also started to chase me while I was on it. Then I gave it to my friend, he was really good at it and moved very swiftly....

Today nothing happened going to black belt class tomorrow though

My ankle is still mending but it's SO MUCH BETTER thanks to Dr. Schuster. Looking forward to some beach training this weekend!

Ahhhh....13.......nothing really interesting today...just kidding! Everyone said happy birthday, exept for the grumpy turd, aka my brother.(I usually call my brother that). I have candy, so I'm happy. a girl who I know is in this cycle and in 6th grade At my school said happy birthday to me.it was really sweet. I had a huge science test and a huge ss test... I think I either got a A or a B... I hope an A... I hope you have a nice day!

Well yeah it's my b day. Finally!! Yay so many people said happy b day, I got sung happy b day in almost every class (it was soooo embarrassing!) and yeah.

Today we did a fractions pre test in math. I got a 90. In science we did a virtual lab. It was about biomes. In social studies we did something on the code of Hammurabi.
