Candidate Journals

Testing is soon and I can’t wait. The only thing is that I have school before testing. I also had 3 tennis matches this week, so i am kinda tired, but i am going to get through it.

Testing is tomorrow and I am so hyped to go. This cycle in my opinion was the fastest one ever. The reason is probably because I have done it for a long time and I am used to it. Again I feel that I am going to crush it and all the others will too. I wish everyone good luck and a good testing tomorrow. Thats it for tonight see you tomorrow.

I am glad it is finally here. I did good today and only have a few pullups left which I will do tomorrow morning.    Looking forward to the testing.

I can not wait for testing on Friday. I am so ready and I can barely contain myself. Anyway lets get into today. The whole school thing did not change but as soon as I got I went to TKD and my brother went to tennis. After that we went to eat and I started to journal. That is were I am going to end it. Thank you for reading.

So, I test tomorrow and I'm very nervous. I'm just nervous because this is my first black belt test, so I don't know what it's like. I feel ready, yet anxious. On another unrelated note, I have to buy my friend Harrison a birthday present tomorrow. I am also going to tae kwon do at 4 to get another leadership credit. 

yesterday was a fun night because my brother had football practice. It was not like a normal football practice. They had a fun day so the players got to know each other. The coach asked if i wanted to join in their competitions. I said yes. We had a throwing, kicking and a punting competition. After that we had a nice flag football game. After that we had a water balloon fight which was very fun. Then we had some popsicles and cookies. When i came back home i played video games withy m y brother and i watched tv.

One day closer to Halloween! Today I have to go to tae kwon do at 4:15 and then to dance at 6 and back to tkd at 7:30. I also didn't have school today. At 11 this morning, I went to get my passport renewed because I'm going to Costa Rica next year. Costa Rica is a school trip we are taking over spring break in 2019. I'm so excited to learn about their culture, and to try the new foods. We are also doing community service by helping build houses.

today I did as many pushups and situps and pullups as possible.  I got up extra early this morning to get some in before school.  I did some when I got home from school. I did some between TKD class and meeting with my mentor.  I did some when I got home.  I worked very hard and got in a lot.  I have a test at school tomorrow so I studied for that too.  in class I got all my questions answered about the overnight test and I feel ready.   

There is this new girl in our group named Annie. She started today and picked up on our dance right away. I also showed my teacher my song for my solo dance. It's a lyrical dance and the song is called Yours by Ella Henderson. Anyway, the dance we're working on is for our Christmas performances. We are performing at Christmas in Davidson, The Southern Women's Christmas Show, and Huntersville Christmas. I'm so excited for these performances. 

This was the longest math assignments in my life. Math honors is so hard... anyway lets get into today. Todays morning started off like all the others, eating walking to the bus stop etc ( not in that order ). I went to school and all my classes did all that good stuff. Came home did my requirements, and the torture of today... HOMEWORK ( bum bum baaa )! The reading homework was fine until the math came. I spent more then two hours on four different assignments. After I got that done ( only a couple minutes ago ) I started to journal. That is were I am going to end it, thank you for reading.

today was a pretty good day. In the morning g i woke up and did some requirements for school. In the afternoon i played video games with my brother, and i also watched tv. Later i went to king tiger. We played jeopardy which was really fun. After that i went to my brothers foootball practice. They had a fun day. They had some competitions, a game, and a water balloon fight. They asked if i wanted to join and i did. It was really fun. After that i came back home. Here am i now.

One more day closer. Did some TKD practice today with Katherine and the boys to help them get ready for their test and then worked on mine. Getting nervous. A little too much thinking with my Poomsaes. This slows me down. Actually forgot a step in Oh Chang. Duh, Cannot believe it. But I still have confidence in myself.

I went to soccer practice today and tomorrow I go to Black Belt Class. I am super ready for the test, but I am also super nervous. I am honestly so proud to do this cycle with such dedicated people. I have losts of homework to do.

Today was a busy day. I had a lot of school work to get done and then I will had some stuff to finish up for my black belt cycle. My mom did cook sloppy joes for dinner so that was very good. Only a few more days for testing. I'm ready.

Today I had 2 tests and 2 projects due. On of the tests was for spanish, which I got a 92 on. The other was for biology and I don't know how I did on that one yet. I feel pretty confident in it though. The projects were for math and biology. They were lengthy, but not really difficult. Later tonight, I have dance and I'm so excited because I'm going to show her the song I picked for my solo dance. 

I woke up at 5:45 so I can do my exercise for TKD. Then I finished at 6:45 and started getting ready for school. I drank my milk first and then I took bath. Then I came down and I ate breakfast. Then I went to the hub stop Then my bus came, and we went to the school. After I got to school I went to my classroom and wrote down my homework on the homework board. Then I went to all my periods for school and then I went to the bus and it took me and my friends to the hub stop. There our parents will be waiting for us and I got into their car and went home. Then I went to TKD for sparring class. Then I came home and then I finished dinner and then went to bed to bed for the next day. After...

After school I came home and then changed my dress and then I drank my milk. Then I did my homework and It took me a quiet while to finish it. Then I played with my Gan Rubik’s cube from my friend who gave me a free purple screw which is the fastest screw ever. Then I took my sister to my neighbors back yard where they had a swing and they were outside, so she wanted to swing. Then I took her there and we came back when they had to take their kid to give bath for him. Then we came back, and I watched some TV before we ate and then I did some TKD things before we finished watched some TV. Then I finished it and then we went to bed at late night. For my exercise I did my push-ups for like about 20 to 30...

Today is one of my best friend Harry's birthday. I don't know what I'm getting him yet tough. Anyway, we have off of school Thursday, Friday, and Monday for fall break. This means that all the teachers are cramming our lessons into this half week. I have 2 tests and 2 projects due tomorrow that I started tonight. We worked on them in class, but only for a few minutes, so I had to finish them here. One is for biology honors and the other is for Math 2 honors. They're not very fun, and I don't see the point in needing to have them done before break, but I guess that's what the teachers wanted. 

Finished my sessions with my mentees. I think I helped them. I do believe I saw improvement. I have enjoyed teaching including assisting in classes. Thank you to Instructor Weeks for being my mentor. We had a really good session tonight. I shows me some of the finer points. I love learning and improving my TKD.

Today in my mentor session we I went over brick breaking and got some practice for testing as it has been around 3 years since i last broke a brick. 

couple more days so pushing hard to try and finish all my TKD items.  Very tired but made good progress

In the morning I went o the eye doctor. It is not bad at all. Later we had to drop my moms friends mom at the hospital. Then we went to the book store to get a book for my brother. When we came back home I did some homework. I am planning to go to king tiger later.      

For my exercise I did my push-ups for like about 20 to 30 minutes. Doing 150 push-ups after waking up is super hard. I still have almost got it doing a proper push-up. I can go down, but it is hard for me to come back up. Then for sit-ups I did it properly but because when I go up my neck turns it starts to hurt a lot and when I lean back and my lower part of my back bone hurts also. But I still do it. Then for jump rope it is hard to do 8 minutes, but I can take it. Then sometimes for practice my legs hurt Because I keep come down from jumping with force. Then I must get ready for school and for P.E. we still must do running for soccer practice learning. I am having a very hard time on days I have...

After I got to school I went to exploring technology and we had to go to other people’s scratch games and rate it. We got lie 4 because we did not have time for everyone to go. Then I went to math and she passed out a math paper which we had to work together on as a group table. Then I went to my next class which was ELA. In ELA we read a book for 15 to 30 min. and we then she passed a rubric for an assignment. Then we went to lunch at half of ELA. Then we went to finish our big question 3 paper and then worked on that assignment. Then we went to science and there we did an experiment with soap and then and a bottle of water emptied.

Okay so right now I'm taking a break between doing my requirements and studying. So let me explain I about an hour after I got back from class got a remind about a test. So I'm in panic mode. I have no Idea how its going to go. Well got to study.

Since this is my final year of high, I am applying to colleges on top of school and the cycle. Dividing my time between the three has been the greatest challenge I am currently facing. However, with the cycle ending soon, I will be able to spend more time on school and college applications.

today in the morning I had an eye appointment. it was not bad at all. then we had to drop my moms friends mom to the hospital. after that we went to a bookstore to get a book for my brother. when we came back I did some homework. later I am planning on going to king tiger.

today is the first day of fall break. there was some cleaning ladies that came to our house to clean in the morning. they are very nice people. later in the afternoon I went to king tiger. I helped out a class, mentor session, and I did a mentee session. after that I came back home and went for a run and then  played outside with my brother.

today I had a great day because I had no homework.I had fun at school after school I went to tae kwon do.when I got home I rode my bike today was awesome

This was not a good day. I set the wrong alarm and got up late. Then a flat tire to start the day. My patrol car was covered in mud when I got to work. Didn't get my first cup of coffee until I should'a been on my second. Almost t-boned by a tractor trailer. Then I got to feeling sick in the afternoon but had to take the boys to the dentist. I just need some rest and to start tomorrow as a new and better day. 

in the morning I went to the eye doctor. it was not bad at all. after that we had to go drop my moms friends mom at the hospital. after that we went to the bookstore to get a book for my brother. when we came back home I did some homework. later I am planning to go to king tiger.

Fist day of October! Only about 30 days until Halloween! My friend and I are planning on going as Sully and Mike from Monsters Inc. She would be Mike because she's really short and sassy. Anyway, today I had 2 tests. Let's hope I did good. I was also supposed to go to cheer, but I had a dentist appointment. We also have a game this Friday, even though we have Thursday, Friday, and Monday off of school for fall break. We aren't cheering at it though, which I'm happy about because I would have to miss the game for the black belt test (which I'm excited for btw)

Today was a busy day. I attended a tutoring session for calculus II in the morning and a college information session for Duke University in the evening. Time was not in abundance today. It's a good thing I did those extra requirements over the weekend.

After this journal I am headed to TKD. Today was really a do noting day except for requirements. I can not wait to go because I have so much energy to burn off. I really do not know if I will take sparring or what I will do after TKD. But guess I will have to wait and see. Anyway have to go see you next time.  

A large amount of homework was done today, particularly for calculus II. I was told it would be the most difficult of the calculus classes, and I can definitely see why. Each problem can take up to multiple minutes, which is time consuming. At least the homework due Wednesday is done.

today was not very exciting.  School was a little boring and had cross country practice after school and was not in the mood to run which makes it feel like a forever to complete the run.  TKD classes tonight were ok but because it was red strip night was more physical activities which I need but was really hoping to be able to work on the poomsie and self defenses to get ready for testing.

Went to swim lessons with the boys in the morning and then got to do the afternoon PMAA session. I really enjoyed it but what a coordination tester. It's always exciting to learn.

today was a a pretty good day I just went to school and helped out in class. But I’ve been tired for no reason lately it’s weird.  

Today was another back to school after the weekend day, after school I practiced on my forms to prepare for testing this weekend.

Today was a normal weekday. So I really don’t need to explain anything.

Today has been pretty busy. I did school and I just got all my homework done. Over the weekend I went to my friends house and we went it the pool.

More swim lessons in the morning and then home to get the house ready for a birthday party for Michael. I think the kids had a good time. Games and Marco's Pizza.  MMMMMMMMMMM Marco's. I love their pizza.

pretty normal day.  Went and served at church.   Continued to work hard on the TKD items.  Last essay was completed and is in dropbox. I am continuing to work hard to prepare for the testing in less than a week.

This weekend has been a blast! Friday was my school's homecoming game and barbeque. Us cheerleaders had to work at the bbq, which was at our football field. Families came with their children to get their faces painted and to eat and have fun before the game started. Even though we lost, it was a really fun experience to be cheering on such a fun night for the high schoolers. Saturday night was the homecoming dance. I took Tanner and we had so much fun. I danced with all of my friends. I tried to get Tanner to dance as much as I could, but he's not much of a dancer. I'm extremely tired from last night, even though it was so much fun!

today I had some yard work to do. We had to cut some branches from a tree, mow the lawn, and put some mulch on the ground. I also had to9 do some inside work. I am happy because I don’t have to to sleep early because i am on fall break.

Today I didn't do much, i worked on some math homework and watched Jurassic world. Back to school tomorrow.

Today was a fun day. I went mountin bike riding with my dad and had lots of fun. I finished up some black belt stuff and got some homework done. It was a good day .

Okay so the title is weird again but it actually has some meaning *It doesn't*. So I was going to right about what I did yesterday but all I can remember is the stick simenar. I only went to the first one but it was still enjoyable. Well time to eat bye

Today was a normal weekend, so you should know what I did today.

I can’t believe that the test is this week. I am so ready and excited. It’s crazy that it went by so fast! I am so glad that I got to do it with these amazing black belts and that I got a great mentor that has helped me learn all my dtuff.

Today was Ok I just stayed home all day and work on my requirements and school work. I’ve been doing a lot of work lately because all of my classes have a project due on the same date.

Today I went to the PMAA Stick Seminar with Guru Melegrito. He taught us a variety of things which can help in real life and just when practicing. After that, I went home and then finished my homework. The major homework that I have was my Spanish Quarter Project where I had to do a self-portrait. I also had to work on a poster for Senior Night for Tennis. 

Tomorrow, school starts again since the hurricane has ended. I'll miss having the extra time to do more requirements, but time is a finite resource. I'll be back to my daily routine where I do half of my requirements before I leave for school and the other half after I come home.

Today was the Philippine Combatives Seminar. I went to both sessions, and it was awesome! Guro Melegrito has so much energy, it’s incredible. I knew most of the stick forms already, but the hand to hand was cool, especially when we experimented in the second session. Overall, it was a tiring but amazing experience.

Today is a fun day. I thought there was black belt class but it was sticks seminar. I took the class which was cool. Later today I went to see a movie with friends. The movie was great. I am playing video games with my brother right now.

It has been day.  I had a great time this morning Philippine session.  I enjoyed the sticks as well as the 2nd part on self defense.  Other than that typical saturday.  Mainly TKD and some school work.

Today was a pretty good day I went to the stick seminar which was pretty tiring. But I stayed up pretty late working on a project for school.

Today was a normal weekend other than the 2 PMAA session. So it’s pretty the normal routine after 3 pm.

Today my grandparents came down for my grand dad's birthday. I spent some time with them and had fun. I wish i could see them more often.

My writing class today acted as a free period. I was able to work on homework for that class and other classes, which I was very glad for. I have many assignments and projects to work on, so the extra time was very appreciated.

Today at school in English I am starting the beginning of my senior exit project which will be a big project that I will be doing for the rest of high school. Right now I am in the beginning of choosing a topic to do my research paper on.

Recently, my brother became a basketball coach for a young basketball team. It was his second day coaching, and he did extremely well. He has always been passionate about basketball, and I'm proud of him for being able to turn his passion into a profession. I hope to follow in his footsteps and do the same for one of my passions, those being software development and taekwondo.

Today wasn't that bad. But it feels like something is missing. Well got to run bye.

for some schools this is going g to be a normal school day, but my school is doing something different. We have a fall break. Fall break is a spring break, but it is in the fall. We have a week off from school. What I am going to do this week is to fin ish up my requirements. I am so happy it is fall break.

Today was a normal weekday, so you should already know what I did. If u don’t, that’s just sad.

Today was actually really nice I have nothing to complain about. But right now I'm in a meeting for something I'm not very clear on. I won't make it to class today so I'll be here a bit. Oh its starting bye.

After I got to school I went to my classroom and wrote down my homework on the homework board. Then I went to the theater and then we went to the bus for my field trip which was 3 hours. There we went to some place before we ate lunch. For lunch I ate some slices of bread and they provided some food from Bojangles. Sine I can’t eat meat I ate everything that has no meat. Then we went in line and went to the bus. Then we got to our school and then I didn’t know where to go to. Then I got news that my teacher and my class were in the theater room. Then I went there and finished my class. Then I went to social studies and did my 8 artifact finding thing papers. Then I went home.

After I woke up I did my TKD exercise and then I finished at 7:00. Then after 7:00 I started getting ready for school. I drank milk and then went to bath. Then after I took bath. Then I came down put my towel and then I ate breakfast. then my parents took my sis to her daycare. Then my friends’ parents came and then picked me and another friend and came with their daughter. Then they took us to our hub stop. From there we go to the bus and the bus takes us to school. Then after I got to school I went for my field trip. Then I at the end of the day our bus teachers let us go outside to our bus and we go in it. Then he buses takes us to our hub stop. Then the friends parent picked us up and takes us...

Today is going to be quick ( like most others ). I went to school and learned that slope is y=mx+b and it is really easy. I also learned that this Monday coming up I have a teacher work day. I am very happy to hear that because I need a break. This week was one of the longest for some wired reason. Ok I am going to end it there see you next time.

Tomorrow is the Homecoming game and pep rally. Today at cheer, we practiced the half-time routine for the game and the new stunts and dance formations for the pep rally. The pep rally routine has a dance, stunt, into another dance, and another stunt. For the first stunt, I am backing a show and go into a prep and down to a cradle (you probably don't know what that means haha.) The second stunt, I am basing a prep retake into extension down to cradle. I am not usually a base, so it took a few times to hit the stunt. After it hit the first time, it his every time after that. We practiced it about 10 times in a row, so my arms are killing me. 

Today 2 of my teachers at school were out so i didn't do much. I did have an English test that I got a 93 on so i'm happy about that. 

My morning began very well.   I had breakfast, watched a little tv and had an enjoyable time visiting the auto store.   Looking forward to our Black Belt class tonight!  

Today I realized just how much work I'm drowning in. I don't know how I'll be able to pull it off. Thankfully, almost all of my Taekwondo requirements are done, so I can focus more on schoolwork, but I still have to go in for leadership credits. Even though I'm stressed out, I', still excited for the Philippine Combatives Seminar this Saturday. It'll help me relax a little, besides, I get to see Guro Melegrito again! Anyways, I have a ton of work due tonight and tomorrow, plus a test, so on to that...

Today was a normal weekday. You should already know what I am going to say.

Tough day at work. Tired and have a headache. Refrigerator isn't working. Waiting for the repairman.. Sure it's gonna cost a bunch of coin. And going to have to replace all the food. All in all, not a good day. Looking forward to TKD to take my mind off things.

After I got to school I went to my classroom and wrote down my homework on the homework board. Then I went to first period which was Exploring technology. There we continued our scratch game. Then we when for math and we did some online Alex knowledge things. Then for reading we did some reading and she passed out some paper and we worked on teams. Then in the middle of reading class we went for lunch. Then we came back and finished it. Then went to science and we tested all our bridges and worked on Newsela. Then In social studies we worked on doing the 5-word-jot for a artifact which my teacher provided to us. Then she gave us two papers with 4 stations on each side which we must fill out the archaeologist papers.

After I woke up I did my TKD exercise and then I finished at 7:00. Then after 7:00 I started getting ready for school. I drank milk and then went to bath. Then after I took bath. Then I came down put my towel and then I ate breakfast. then my parents took my sis to her daycare. Then my friends’ parents came and then picked me and another friend and came with their daughter. Then they took us to our hub stop. From there we go to the bus and the bus takes us to school. Then after I got at school I did all my periods. Then I at the end of the day our bus teachers let us go outside to our bus and we go in it. Then he buses takes us to our hub stop. Then the friends parent picked us up and takes us to...

Today our tennis match got cancelled so I can FINALLY come to class. It has been a while since I have been able to come to class. Today was also our picture day, so I got dressed up. Nothing much else, so that’s all. 

Usually, on Wednesdays, I help out with one the classes at the North Charlotte location. However, due to large amounts of homework, I simply did not have the time to make it to the class. While taekwondo is my passion and I need to obtain leadership credits, school must be my priority.

Today SHOULD be the last day I have to journal FINALLY. Today I had my mentor meeting and it was all about falls and rolls. I really needed these falls and rolls so I don’t have to do ALOT of falls and rolls everyday. Today I also had a plan to do many push-ups and sit-ups so that before my testing I have a day to relax and do nothing. Class today was basically all about doing kicks onto shields. I had to use the shield against my friend who’s a black belt and he kicks hard. I hope everyone had a great day!!!!!!

I'm enjoying my white belt week. It seems to take a lot of pressure off me. Kind of like 'wow, I'm a white belt and I can do all this stuff.' Definitely a cool feeling. I have all of my fitness challenge goals complete. Just a few more journal entries needed. I won't make the Saturday Black Belt class or sparring goals but that is what happens when you work Saturdays. Starting to slow down on fitness, just lightening the load on my body. I have a little wear and tear and trying to get rested up.

Today I had cheer team pictures after school. It only took about 20 minutes, and then we were allowed to leave. I went to tae kwon do right after, and then to dance after that. I just got home and now I'm doing homework. Tomorrow, I have cheer practice before the Homecoming game on Friday. There's also a barbeque before the game. I am working the face painting station. On Saturday, I'm going to the homecoming dance with Tanner. 

Okay so the title is weird again I know but this time it’s serious ( It’s not ) Alright so the bells at my are really loud to the p point that you can hear them from two neighborhoods down. The normal bells are so loud that the fire bell is quite compared to it. So they were blasting all day today because there were a bunch of notifications. My ears still hurt. Got to go to calls bye.

Today was a normal weekend. So I don’t have to explain. You should already know what I mean.

Today I had black belt testing and I think I did good. I also went to a birthday party. It was a lot of fun. That’s it.

My son Michael's birthday was today. He wanted a Wacky Wednesday so we took him to children's Wang Ho for a celebration and then out to dinner with family to celebrate. I took a day off from TKD classes. Felt weird being there just as a parent.

Today i felt very fun. I had a good day. All my classes felt pretty short. At school I had a fun time joking around with my friends. After school i studied for a science test on Friday. After some time i went to king tiger. On the way back home there was a lot of rain. When i came back home I watched tv then i ate dinner. Here am i now.  

Today was a pretty good day did good on all of my tests. I have been staying up pretty late these past days cause I have tons of homework to finish.

Today was a normal weekday. You know what I am going to say.
