Candidate Journals

Today I went and helped out with class i also got a white belt for the challenge the class was more like a staff class because that was all we did was use staffs it was really fun i also got in a mentoring session with master Michel we worked on hopkido he didn't really remember 14 and up so well do it thursday but we worked on first dawn self defense instead of hopkido over all it was a really good day still working on history of the Kwans pretty long essay compared to the others i hope i can do it in time 

I can't believe its already October. Summer came and went so quickly that I didn't have a chance to catch up! Im starting to have to do less and less requirements a day which takes off a lot of pressure. Master Chin has really helped me get in Leadership classes this week. The only thing I am worried about is mastering the Staff Poomsae and the Attack and Defend portion of the test. 

today i woke up like any other day but i was unusually awake so i got a head start. i got dressed, had pancakes, bacon, kix cereal, milk, and a protein shake. i got packed up and was at the bus 10 minutes early. i slept on the bus and enjoyed my free time by listening to new songs on my phone. in first block we read all the rest of "kaffir boy" except the last chapter, we will read that tomorrow. in second block we got changed out and did static and dynamic warm ups at the track, then we ran 3 laps which is roughly .8 miles on any track thats not the inner track. then we went to the practice field and we worked on football wide receiver routes and how to catch, how to cover a receiver, i always caught the ball and never let a catch...

I had too much homework today, so I did not go to any class. Since I finished at 8pm,  I was able to do some requirements.     

today i was at school and my friend emily made me a new braclet. after school i went home and did everything. yahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

There is one week till every esay is due I dont know about you but (......I AM GOING TO DIE......) There is going to be some late nights in m7y house tonight and I need to get these done so bye need to get 3 esays done   ...YAY... :'(

My teachers are very nice and are very mean at the same time. They are mean because they give us strikes and they give us strikes by using the bathroom and I don't think that is good. I love my teachers because the homework that they give us is very fun but I have a lot of it. My homeroom teacher is very cool teacher because she teaches my favorite subject. Social studies:)! I love social studies because It is very interesting to me. I love the American Indians because I love there culture.

Wow it's the 1st day of October already. Well today I did my 5:45 class. We did forms and knife stuff. It was really fun. The cycle is almost over so I just have to hang in there. I CAN DO THIS!!!!!!!

Today i had school and safty potral at school.I am tired and hurting   We Can Do It!

on saturday 9-14 i went to black belt class and sparring class I got a mentor session in but I never go up to do warm ups in front of a big class its just too much pressure on me with that kind of thing 

Today I accidentally slept in and didn't get much requirements done in the morning. I got done with all my burpees and self defence yesterday so I dont have to do those anymore YaYYYYYYYYYY! Now I have to go to bed. :_-(.

today i woke up at 6:30 for school. when i got home my mom got me a rainbow loom kit. almost forgot to do my journal today. ahhhhhhhhhh

Today I did a good amount of requirements. i also am almost done with my mentee sessions and walking. Starting tomorrow I'm going to start walking 2.5 miles until I'm done. I think I'll be able to finish with some things early, and some things right on time. Tomorrow I'm going to try and do a lot.

today i got extra recess at my school. i got extra dinner. i got dinner from panera bread and i got a dinner from home. i also got extra sleep. i was so tired i fell asleep during class. i am also very tired now. i am also in extra trouble because my vice principal wanted me to sign up for safety patrol and i did not.

Had a great day at school and at South Charlotte. Master Chin really helped me review over what I needed to work on and helped me get in requirements. I really need to work on the staff poomsae. So my plan for this week consists of getting in as many leadership classes as I can, but still be reviewing over what I need to know for testing. 

So to start off, my day was fine, I got home and got to relax and then do some spanish homework, then I annotated and did requirements. I ran pretty well. I went to class and we worked on a lot of things like attack defense, hurricane hook, and staff form 2. What was interesting about today was that last night I had a very realistic dream about the zombie apocolypse. I woke up at 4:30 and ended up doing my morning requirements to get back to sleep. See, I already have a kind of apocolypse plan, but I spent the whole day thinking what would I grab first, who would I take with me, which certainly put an interesting spin on my day. I hope no more apocolypse dreams tonight!

Journals for me are very important because I cant miss one or I will be behind on them and will fail. I also have to do homework so it kind of reminds me to do them. If the Buffalo Bills win I don't have to do my reading homework because my teacher (Mrs. Ellis) loves the Bills and so does my math teacher but she still gives homework:(. I am very exited that school has started and that the cycle will be over in twelve days because I am going to celebrate so much like I did when the empathy training and I couldn't feel my hand when it was out of the bandage. I also liked the empathy training class because I got to feel the way that people with one hand or arm do. I feel really bad for those people like instructor Auerbach.

today i woke up really super early, like 3:40, and spent the next hour in restless sleep constantly waking up. i was not happy to start my day, but i got dressed and went downstairs. i had waffles, rice crispies, bacon, milk, and a protein shake for breakfast and my stomach didnt feel to good so i was almost late for the bus but got on. i slept on the bus and when i woke up my stomach still hurt. in first block we went to the media center and did an activity where we were given stacks of books and chose 3, we had to read the first two pages and inside cover/back to find out about it, then choose which one was our favorite and why. then we all checked out books and spent the rest of the time reading. my stomach felt better probably because i was sitting...

Got RAK off my list. it feels good to be accomplished. anyways im exterly close to finsishing my situps and burppees. so im gonna do them now and edit them 1 hour later. 

I'm pretty sure I'm going to lose to my mom in fantasy football.  She was beating me by 20 points last time I checked.  We both have one player left.  I have running back and she has a wide receiver.  I really think I'm going to lose.  My guy would have to get 35 point or something.  He needs a blow out game.

tday i had school and safty potral at my at school.also,I watched a movie at my house.

on thursday 9-26 I went to black belt class and I helped out with class and got a leadership credit 1and 2 and got a class and the mentee mentor things all i really need is running

today i ran 2 miles before school ugh i felt really tired after requirements and im still tired not really any homework at all so no stress on work i still got to right a couple essays 

Today, I was focusing on catching up on miles.  I did 7 miles!  And I did extra basic kicks. It was a long tiring process, but I made it.  My legs are sore, but it was worth it!!

Today I worked on my requirements, kwan essay and studied for the test.  It's nice to see the numbers going down..... and down.  

Today was a pretty long day, but relaxed in a way. I got up late (for me) at 9:30 and then did requirements and went to sunday school. It was cool seeing all the new kids that I get to help teach. I had to leave a little early since I realized that I had to eat before going to the Nature Museum to volunteer. There I worked from 1-5 and I got to help train a new volunteer. Maggie was very nice and funny and I'm looking forward to working with her some more. I also realized I don't get to help out with the Halloween Special Event since that is the day of my test! oh well. I had a very nice dinner with my family and now I am doing homework. I plan to get to bed early tonight!

yesterdays empathy class was amazing and i loved it. We wrapped our hand in tape so we couldnt use it and had to learn blocks and strikes with one hand. We did OH-chong one handed and it was confusing and i really had to slow it down at points to think about what i was doing 

i was really tired today but i had a good night sleep last night so yeah newtons laws of logic or whatever they are called are wrong. so anyways i took a long 5 hour nap after church and felt even more tired. i think i might be sick or something

yesterday i didnt get a chance to write, i was moving furniture for my moms friend with my family. it was really difficult but we got it done. i had my friend sleep over last night. we spent the night playing video games. we woke up and played video games till his mom came and got him. then i spent the day doing requirements and chores, i got laundry done then worked out for a couple hours. then i went to my friends house and we played more video games there, then i went home and took a shower, now i just need to do some homework then go to bed to get ready for monday...:p. hopefully it will be a good monday!

Today I had a lot of homework and I did a lot of requirements.  I was able to go to MaxLife this afternoon  at Mecklenburg Church.  I liked one part of my homework. I created an iMovie for Social Studies class.  It was about how my family learns, leads, and serves. It took a while but at the end it looked really great. 

today i did a lot. i did requirments, rode my skateboard, played soccer and did chores. i am so tired but so happy. i am happy because i finished 1 of my essays.

Today I relaxed and stayed home all day. I did my requirements all in the morning so I had the whole afternoon free. I got to watch Iron Man 3 with my family and have a relaxing day.

Today I did 2 more essays. One on Mom as my hero, and another on empathy because I lost my first one. Luckily I remembered the experience, plus yesterday's emathy class also helped me complete the essay. It's ben a long day of essay writing, but I still got about 2 hours to play with my friend Zoey. We had a great time. I got some people interested in buying cupon books at church today, but nobody actually bought them today. Anyways, after this journal, I'm going to watch some tv and go to bed. Tomorrow, though, I'll have to do a lot.  

I do not know if I have just hit the wall with exhaustion or if I am coming down with something.  Slept in a bit this morning, which is not normal, then hit Costco & HT.  When I got home I curled up on the sofa and lights out.  It was a long nap and I did not feel revived afterwards.  Decided that maybe I need to take a small break so spent some time in the kitchen getting meals ready for the week and such.  After I tried to work on pushups & situps and did ok.  Jumped on the treadmill and was pretty happy there.  The TV was on so I said put the DVR Chicago Fire on which kept me going.  I know I am a very slow runner and my pace is not improving much but at least I have the endurance so that is good.  I am done for the day.  Going to...

Today I have been really tired and I don't know why. I thought I wouldn't be tired because I had a really good night sleep last night. I have also been doing my sympathy essay today and I think it is really good. I went shopping so I relaxed a little then for the first time in a long time. I have had a really good day.

today I worked alot on my test a lot of things weren't on the internet so i had to think i ran 2 miles after that i also did alot of my requirements early 

today i just finished my empathy training essay. yahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

This morning I finally was able to sleep in late. I ate a healthy brunch, then went straight to homework. I'm behind on a few classes and run/walk. It would be good to get in a run tonight before a bust day tomorrow. The demo at freedom park was fun, although there were more people on the stage than there were watching us! And I think everyone really enjoyed the BB class afterwards. 

i got the tape off my hand at 9 pm. my hand was stinging and burning. so i started to do some carpet angels. those made my hand feel much better. i thinking right now it is finally over.

Empathy empathy put yourself in the place of me! The empathy class was super cool today, I learned a lot. It was kind of hard, but very inspiring as to creative thinking. I got to hang with my friends for 2 hours and then I knocked out the history of the kwans. Not much other than that!

16 Journal Enteries (This will be my 17th one) and only a little bit of time to go... What if they don't let me test. I need 12 more sparring classes too! So I will do 4 sparring classes a week. 2 on Tuesdays and Thursdays at Lake Norman and 2 on Fridays and Saturdays at North Charlotte. I hope I can do this

Today was a long day. First I got in 2.25 miles in. Then I got to help out with little tigers testing. Then I got in a mentor session with Master Knight. I did not have time to go to the demo and do class because My mom and dad had yard work and my mom car had to got the shop. But I did 4x the amount of requirements as I usaualy do, so not a bad day.

Today was super busy.  First the demo at the park.   That was kind of cool, but it went really fast.  Then, some physical requirements, then the black belt class.  Taking class with one handtied up was crazy, and kind of confusing.   Then homework, then more physicals.   Tired!!!

Today I finished one essay and just put it in Dropbox. It's on my new skill, animation drawing. I also got some good progress done on the five original kwans essay. I have a lot of essays to do and not a lot of time to do them. At least I have one done, now. I didn't get that many requirements done today because I was doing essays, SCUBA, and TKD classes, but mom said it was okay since I was going to do a lot of work on my essays. At least I did some requirements at Tae Kwon Do today. I also went to subway for lunch and got a salad. It was really good, healthy, and energizing. SCUBA really made me tired though. Tonight I'm going to watch a movie.

Hello people today I was not able to go to black belt class because we could not find where it was they saidit was somewhere else besides master Evins and I had already completed  So as the title says I only have 15 more to go YAY!!!!!!! now I have to go so see y'all

Today I helped at KTMH 9:00 class and a got to help people get theit red stripes. While I also got some requirements in. The rest of the day I rested and spent time with my family. Now we are watching Iron Man 2.

today I did my last helping in class.I help in king tiger mint hill

Today has been a great day.  Demo in freedom park pretty cool then class in south charlotte was incredible.  My hand is still taped up and will remain for the rest of the day.  Mentor session this morning also.  Be back tomorrow as its taking me twice as long to get things accomplished this afternoon and have dinner obligations tonight. This is going to be interesting.

I went to the demo at Freedom Park and the black belt class after today.  I found the class very interesting because I have never done TKD with one arm before.  

It was really, really confusing using only one hand.  There are a lot of different techniques.  There were only four basic blocks with two hands, now there are eight because you have to change it around.  My forms were hard to keep up with, especially the ones with low blocks and inside block.  I really enjoyed learning how to do it.  I can't believe what people go through with one hand everyday.

today I did the demo in something park it was fun next I went and did class it was fun then i did sparring class that was fun to

today  i went to the demo thing at the park and am using one arm today

My day started with requirements.  Afterwards, I headed to the North Charlotte dojang.  Today was a milestone day for Little Tigers.  Today was the first time we did testing for the Little Tigers since the program began again.   The kids were so excited!  Some of them got to the dojang thirty minutes before testing because they wanted to make sure they weren’t late.  Many of them brought their parents and their grandparents to watch.  The kids got to show their family how hard they’ve been working on following directions, answering yes ma’am, kicking and punching, basic stances, and even counting in Korean.  You could tell that both the kids and the adults were very proud of their accomplishments.  Their instructors were very proud too! J  Thanks to Master Knight, Instructor Dege, and Melvin Harris for helping with testing. I hate that I missed the demo at Freedom Park and Instructor Auerbach’s...

I dont have enough time to write that much so let me just tell you a little bit of my day. I had a test and I got a 104, got a 100 on my quiz, got a 100 on all my homework. I did not have to do that much of my requiremnts because Im done with most of stuff. I just need to stop worrying about the physcial and worry about my journals and classes. Im scared Im not going to pass. If I dont pass will I have to do everything over again or will  my data save?

when i got home i forgot to do a journal. i had to run down stairs to do it. im about to go to bed big day tomorrow. yahhhhhhhhhhhh

Today I took the black belt class at lake Norman.  I got help with staff form 2.  One less thing for me to worry about.  The cycle is almost over, and still so much to do.  Tomorrow is the demo at freedom park.

Today went really well. I got green on poomsae, got new shoes, and did a lot of requirements. This Saturday I'm going to try to sell a bunch of coupon books. I'm going to do a lot of requirements this weekend and work on essays. Tomorrow I will finish my last required sparring class, and second to last leadership one credit. I think I'm going to catch up and get ahead soon. 

I got my HOTA and apes test scores back, 95 for hota and 91 for apes. Considering I thought I failed them, I'm pretty proud. I spent my afternoon doing apes notes and now I'm kinda brain dead. But I had a nice dinner with my family. Food night, see you tomorrow!

Today I went to the class before black belt class and I got leadership credit.  I was helping a high blue belt with his form and self defense.  It feels good to help somebody with something I know.  Afterwards in the black belt class we got to practice Hapkido 1-20, short stick and bolo.  

Happy camper!!  Very productive day on requirements.  Has lesson with Master Chin this afternoon, thank you Master Chin you are the best, then black belt class in Mint Hill this evening.  Got to Mint Hill early so was able to attend the 5:45 class and also help in class.  It was the first time I helped at another school and was not quite sure what is acceptable.  I had the white belts so I figured if I started saying drop do situps, pushups, punching, kicking, blocks and squat thrusts in between they would think I was nuts.  Hey is was poomsae week so we did a lot of Kwon Sool, even criss cross apple sauce Kwon Sool.  Even though very repetitive I tried to explain the why of things because that was one of my main things when I learn, please explain to me as it helps make me understand.  Black belt class was...

Today I helped out at KTMH 5:45 class. I got to help high white belts learn their poomsaes. Then I took black belt class and we went over hapkito, sticks, and black belt cycle questions. So we got a lot done. Now I am tired and I am going to go to bed.

Today I had to be home early because I was behind on logging the requirements in on the computer. Master Hartle was very mad at me and we had a little talk about it and it made me cry. I really want to get my black belt so I was sad when he said if I do it one more time I would be off of the black belt cycle.

Today I did my weekday black belt class with Master Burkart.  I worked on Hopkido, Stick form 1, and completed another Leadership 1 credit.  I am tired and ready for bed.   

Today I woke up at 6am like usual and did requirements. I am exited about the weekend because now I can get almost all of my requirements done. I am also exited for the soccer game this tuesday.

Today I had sparring class. Master Knight taught the sparring class. There was only 4 people at class. We practiced on getting our opponent intimidated. We also practiced our kicks.  We got a chance to spar and kick each other.  It was fun.  I was able to get in a lot of requirements also. 

after hours of staring at the board and doing worksheets and test while trying to keep my eyes open its finally Friday! But unfortunately my Saturday sleep in till noon plan cant happen because of the black belt demo. so yeah :( 

On 9-26-13 I went to black belt class and we did a lot of self defense blind I was really carefull not to hit anyone we also did a lot of kicks

Today was a busy, stressful, long day at school. Had to work on a project in almost every class in addition to tests. I have plans to finish up todays requirements tonight after friends and I go to Scarowins. Really excited for tomorrows demo. Also extremely excited that I don't have to drive a hour to get to Saturday BB Class. 

today i ran 2 miles faster than i usually do my dad said i had to hurry up so i did but i didn't have to i really think he just wants me to be like him

I'm feeling better today. I ran well for one. I also got some of my APES notes done, which is a start. However, I slept through both my alarms this morning. I hope I don't keep up the habit because it's hard to make the requirements up in the afternoon. I must go to sleep now! ahh!

Today I helped with Wang ho class. I helped the white belts with their hwa rang poomsae.  I wanted to see what they would do if I TKD them through the moves.  It was interesting. In the end they knew the poomsae pretty well.   Also had a mentor session with Master Mitchell. We went over hopkido thru # 4.  Still have a ways to go.  

class was cool today. i liked how the we practiced our curriculumn in a form of activities instead of straight out doing it.  

Had project after project today. Teachers are really loading us up with homework and tests as well. Im really looking forward to this weekend with the demo in Freedom Park and this Saturdays class. Hopefully we will help motivate everyone that is doing the run/walk and also raise money for Levine Children's Hospital. 

Today when I went to black belt class it was interesting to have master Shin teach class especially when we did the self defense with our eyes closed.  I like it when there are different people teaching because they each have their own styles of teaching

Today I sold 4 coupon books, and have some people interested in buying them. I took a sparring class at Mint Hill, and we didn't do drills, but we did the other stuff that we usually do. I'm going to compete in the AAU, so these sparring classes will help a lot. I managed to get a good amount of requirements done, but I still need to do a lot more. I need to do some sparring rounds done, but all in all I'm doing pretty well. Last week I was in the green for all my physical requirements! Most people are close to finishing, so I really need to try to get lots more done. I need to do more poomsaes tomorrow as well as self defense. I also need to do jump rope rounds. 

Pretty uneventful day.  Hit requirements hard and had class at South Charlotte tonight.  Worked on many different areas in class as some of the students will be testing next Friday.  Looking forward the weekend and just going to keep plugging away.

I am so glad that I am almost done with all my requirements! I only got 500 kicks left and 3,000 pushups and sit ups and 100 more bur-pees. Today I slept in by accident and didn't get all my goals for today done in the morning man. ;-l

Today we played Holy Trinity for my schools soccer team.  We tied 4-4.  I made one goal.  After the game I had a mentee session with my mentee Gregory.  After that I went to help out with the Jr. Tiger class.  I was not able to get in any requirements because I had homework.  I have a half day tomorrow so I will get in triple my requirements and attend sparring class. 

today we played mat ball again and the score was 3-5. we were losing and for once it played out like all the sports movies do. i was one of the last kickers and the bases were full. i kicked the first  home run in our class! in the end we won 8-5

today i went to mint hill to master berkart school. it was a lot of sweet but was really fun. yahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I'll probably still journal, but at least the monkey is off my back and my required number of journal entries are done. One more thing to cross of the list. My toe continues to challenge me. I've learned to keep my weight off the right side of my foot so that walking is not a problem. Jumping or running I still very painful. And I still can't put a shoe on. I'm glad I can still wear sandals!

at home my dad helps me with sparring and my mom started to help me with my test so I am really happy with my parents. I love them and they do everything with me and now there doing it to help me.

Today I woke up at 4:30AM to get in a esay and my workout I think it was a good Idea because I was fully awake when I was done and got in a quick shower and was on my way.The cycle is drawing to a close and we all are finishing our stuff and are hurring to get in all our jurnal entreyes so good job every body.

I've gotten so much better at leading. I don't like when kids don't listen to me. It tells me that I should behave too.  I also don't like it when kids do exactly the opposite of what people are telling them to do.  I'm glad that I've gotten better at listening.  I hope when this is all over, kids will respect me and think of me as an instructor. 

i woke up and got a head start so i could relax for a bit before i had to leave. i got dressed and had pancakes, bacon, milk, rice crispies, and a protein shake for breakfast, got packed up, then just watched tv until it was time to go but i forgot what i watched. i slept on the bus and went to first block but our teacher wasnt there, she showed up 10 minutes late and didnt tell us why but we didnt question her. in first block we read more about "kaffir boy", we are close to finishing and will probably finish tuesday, its a really long book and it took all class to go over 13 chapters. in second block me and 8 other guys spent the class in the back room trying on uniforms, we all got our pants and shirt but not anything else because they...

ALMOST DONE WITH MOST OF MY REQUIREMENTS! I finished alot of my stuff so tomorrow my goal is 500 pushups and situps, and 20 pull-ups if I have enough time to do 20 pull-ups. 

Today was hard in school. I had two tests, one in HOTA and one in APES. I also overslept my first alarm, by the way. English class was a waste of time, since I'm not caught up in the book. Both my tests were kinda hard, and I wish I had studied some more. I hope BB cycle isn't taking its tole on my grades yet. I am just read to get everything done. And have time for naps. Yep, definitely naps.

Today I  had an okay day. I didn't get that many requirements done, but I can catch up on that. I haven't had any time to work on my essays, so I've decided to do the writing on the weekends, and do my research during the week. I need to do a lot of kicks, and I'm catching up on poomsaes and self defense. Also, I want to finish meditation, sit ups, jump rope rounds, and journal entries early.  Tomorrow I have a long day, and I need to do even more than I usually do to catch up for today. I really need to get a schedule to help me know when to do what. Tomorrow I'm also going to try to sell a lot of coupon books for my school. Tomorrow's going to be a busy day, so I need to at least make a schedule on when to do...

Today, I helped with Wang ho class. I got to help a lot of my friends from summer camp, and made some new friends too. It's always interesting to see howpeople react to certain situations, and how the learn.  Had lots of homework too.  Bern up since 6:15 am to do physical requirements.  Tired.  

Today like usual got up at six did requirements go to school home work tae kwon do bed time. Tomorrow I got a science test so I am studying hard for it. Today finally I did one full pull up!

Finally it's time for the happy dance, I am in green on tracking in all except one item (mentee) and I could not be happier.  My mentee, Luke -- who is the best, is only at class on Tuesdays because of other obligations.  Hoping that I can scoot away and meet with him a few extra days to get caught up but if I do not it's ok- - he is so worth working with.  I will be there for him on his next test regardless of cycle testing and requirements.  I am very lucky!!  Got to South Charlotte about 4:00 today and hit requirements hard.  My little friend Johnathan was there, all of 3 years old, that helps with my requirements on Mondays & Wednesdays.  He likes to know what I am doing, why I am doing it, what is next, when is the Panda going to find a home and can...

I’ve been reading some journal entries that have said the physical requirements are getting easier to do and at first I thought so too….but this week, the pushups, situps, and the burpees have been really, really hard.  And don’t even mention the pull-ups…I’m getting better at doing them with assistance, but I still haven’t mastered doing one without assistance.  L  I’ve just got to keep telling myself that I am getting stronger with every pushup, every situp, every burpee, and every pullup! I really enjoyed the rain today!

Today I didn't have soccer practice so I had a chance to help out with class.  I also got a mentor session and lots of requirements. I finished my homework before 8:30.  I now have some free time before bed time. 

Had a very successful day at South Charlotte. Had the chance to see Instructor Tucker and go over Knife Self Defense with Master Chin. Its so good to have her back! Im finally catching up with all of my requirements after being sick, having injuries and traveling. Im hoping I can get in another leadership credit tomorrow after finishing all of my schoolwork and completing the many projects that have been assigned. 

There are a few items I've either finished or I'm close...I can see the finish line. I wish I could say that for more of them. I've sacrificed time with my kids, housework, time with my friends, and time for myself. I look forward to getting some of that back...at least until next cycle.  My family and friends have been very supportive. I'm thankful for that. 

Today my little brother went on a 3-day field trip to Barrier Island so I can have 3 or 2 1/2 days annoying little brother free!  I got a recommendation letter from one of my teachers yesterday.  I should be getting another one from another teacher real soon.   

My school gives a lot of homework for fifth grade. The easy thing is I can do my homework at afterschool. I also get to read for 30 minutes.

Tonight I am going to manage my team.  I think I am going to have to take some players out.  This week I am playing my mom.  She's going down!  Right now she is projected to win.  That is why I am going to work on my team.  I am not going to lose to her.

today i went to leadership class we did a lot of jump and spin kicks for the jump front kicks master Kim told me to demonstrate next we did Tornado kicks i got really dizzy after class master Kim said my jump front kicks were great   

Today we raced at Mcalpine. I believe that is located in south Charlotte but im not 100% sure. But anyway i ran a 22:30 5k which is a minute behind my personal record so im getting back down to it. i am still sore from mondays workout of sprinting 4 miles so i couldve shaved some time off possibly. anyway im really happy with my time!
