Candidate Journals

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Hey everyone, today was a good day for me because nothing bad happened, I woke up and went to the church discussion then went to school as usual. Then we had a seminar discussing things in APWH talking about stuff in groups, and I felt like I was on a world history podcast, it was awesome. Then after school, went home got my homework done and then went to my grandmas house and ate some Mexican burritos. After that we went home and got ready for the next day and made our lunches, then I finished the episode I was on in my show, I hope you all had a wonderful day, see you later.

Today I had quite a long day at school and only ran 2 miles today because of the hot weather. I also helped lead punching and kicking, and also helped high red belts with their breaking.

Woke up ate tasty breakfast. Went to school and had MAP state testing. Went to King Tiger and did a class and some requirements. I did more requirements when I got home. Tonight is the last day of my diet change challenge……woo hoo!!!

I woke up and got to school. got to assemble a drum kit then play on it while I was in band that was the main highlight of my day. I then got home did my homework and then ate dinner. I then chilled out for a bit then went to sleep 

Someone said school is tiring and I agree lol. I forgot how much energy it takes. I have that threatening sore throat feeling, irritating haha. I better not be getting sick I swear. Imma go get some sleep, I didn’t do great with that last night. I’ll get about an hour more tonight so yay that’s progress.

31 Today, school was so tiring. I kept falling asleep in my classes becuase I'm having so much homework to do. After school, I did my tkd requirments and then went to tkd class. It was my last day of being a white belt so it felt pretty good. During class I had a stomach ache but I still powered through. Then I gave a mentor session to help the person prepare for their belt testing.   Overall a 4/10 day

September appears to be confused... where are the litter temperatures? I see pumpkin spice being advertised everywhere and it is HOT. Fall, hurry up. Today was very Monday as well.  Got a lot of things done but not everything, my energy stores are running very low.  Tomorrow is another day though and I am off to sleep now. See you on the mat! 

Today was finally a normal school day for me cuz i didn’t have band practice after school🥹. Schoolwork is slowly starting up but still honestly love all my classes( i jinxed it ik). Once I got home I js had a snack and chilled for a little before starting my requirements. It was raining really hard and then suddenly really hot so had to wait till evening to go on a run. I have to make up a couple bbc so i went to harrisburg today and their classes are lowkey cool and fun, it made me miss my old dojo even more cuz there’s was rly nice and big and they had a 3 times the people we normally have in our classes. We got to practice on kicks and other stuff and i did pretty alright. I’m prob going back next monday. After I came home I went for...

Today was the day, I finally can stop not eatting bread. I am so exicted, But anyways I went to school and in band we did the first few notes, open G. After school we went home, ate, and went to taekwondo. After taekwondo my dad and I went to the track and got a mile in, then we went home and got morgans, Around 8, 8 30 we went to go get food. I then ate and chilled out. We watch a movie. Now I am going to bed. I hope everyone had a wonderful day!

Today I went to school, and I got excited because they gave us a field trip form to go to Atlanta, and see lots of cool things. Then I cam home, my tennis class was canceled, so I went to Tae Kwon Do to help out the junior tigers. Then I took black belt class and the Bo Cho Dans practiced hurricane back kicks so I got the hang of that. Then I went out for my fathers birthday.

Today I woke up and went to school. Then went to go to my soccer practice.Then went to play a soccer game. Then went to class in TKD . Then went home for dinner then right now about to sleep early.

Today I had a dentist appointment after school that I had to rush to. And then had Boy Scouts. And then I went home and did my requirements and I am really tired.

Today was a good monday. I got most of my work done for school, there's just this one assignment that has been bothering not only me but pretty much everyone taking that class. Its a research assignment which is very long and tedious for no reason. The teacher provided us with links to articles to research which might seem like a good thing but none of them had any good information, one was about something else entirely. So many people ended up watching videos about the topic or finding and sharing their own articles. I still haven't finished that assignment its too frustrating. Once school was over I went to my first after school club which is girls who code. I mostly only joined it because a lot of my friends are either in it or running it and they asked me to join. I am interested in coding though, and...

It's late again today too. I went to seminary early in the morning and was able to stay awake, thank goodness. School was pretty boring today, but I have a quiz tomorrow in AP Bio, and a proper unit test coming up as well. I need to get sleep so I can feel rested for tomorrow cause I also have a doctors appointment for my wisdom teeth. Anyway, hope you guys sleep well, goodnight!

Another solid day overall. Started the morning by knocking out a few requirements before heading into work. First order of business when I arrived was getting gas for all the vehicles that needed it. The workday flew by, and I managed to make some progress on my Kwans essay during lunch. Got home and went straight into yard work. No matter how short or tall the grass is, it’s always a solid two-hour job. ​After showering, we grabbed pizza with the family at a spot my in-laws highly recommended—it was a great deal and turned out to be fantastic pizza. Wrapped up the night by completing a few more requirements back at home before calling it a day.

Today I woke up early in the morning around 6:30. Today I ran 2 miles in the morning getting the exact same time for each which was 10:32. After that I got ready and went to school. I also sold lots of chocolates for a fundraiser we had to do which was fun. After school I chilled for a bit before heading to my robotics class which was around 2 hours long. After robotics I came home around 9 and ate dinner. After dinner I went to sleep. Good Night!

Today was a pretty normal day at school. I went to all of my classes and mostly just took notes. When I got home, I had a bunch of homework to do, so I finished that up before going to taekwondo. Today, I helped with the shin kickers class and the white belt class before taking red belt class. We worked on some color belt self- which was great because that was what I have been struggling with more. After class, I came home and did my requirements, and my parents decided to enter me into a contest with my mom's friends, so I had to do 100 push-ups in 30 minutes. It really wasn't that bad, but my arms are definitely sore. Anyway, that was my day. I hope everyone also had an amazing day. Goodnight!

Hello everyone, today was pretty good for me, woke up bright and early at 5:00 AM and got to go to a church discussion before school started. Once school had started, I saw my friends, and did all of my work, did all my classes, got a good grade on the AP world History (APWH, I'll just call it that from now on) test, and went home. I went to TKD and got all my work done, and I have straight A's in all my classes, my life is pretty good right now, I'm just pretty busy with everything that is going on. I hope everyone had a wonderful day, see you later.

Tonight, we had High Belt Practice (Blue Belt and Higher).  I knew we were in trouble when Master Foster asked the students (probably 12-15 years old) what post practice exercises they wanted to do.  Their eyes lit up like kids in a candy store.  They came up with exercises I'd never even heard of, like a "Flying Turtle".  I like to see them lead during warmups because some of them are not used to standing in front of a crowd and it builds their confidence.  I don't remember them being given free reign for post-practice workouts though.  I'll be ready for them next time.

    Today was as usuall. Wake up get ready for school and hop on the buss. Get their and have a good day and then going on the bus to king tiger. I got a mentee and mentor session done and lead class warmups. It was a normal yet efficient day. 😴

ok,so, sadly i was sick and couldn't make it to class today, BUT i am feeling better and can go to class tommorow. hooray!!! since i was doing alot before this, taking a day off didnt get me behind luckily. I just have to get back on that streak.

School was pretty laid back sense it was the second week of school. Got home to hammers and screw drivers and went to class to get a leadership credit. I then got home ate dinner chilled for a bit and went to sleep

Today was a good day. I went to school and had a typical school day. When I came home, I started on my requirements. My shoulder was starting to get a little sore so I took it easy on burpees and pushups. I went to King Tiger this evening and worked on my 540 kicks some more. This evening I plan on finishing the movie Interstellar which I started last night. That wraps up my day.

Today I had a long day at school, and came home to run 3 miles, and do 15 minutes of push ups, sit ups, & burpees.

We finally got my room finished and all the flooring done, so I got to move everything back in yesterday. First time sleeping in my room in a little while, since we could only work on it a little at a time, with my parents working most of the time. I slept pretty good. Before school, we stopped to get some Starbucks. Had a pretty normal school day. Did some requirements after school, then class, then home to finish requirements. Shower & bed soon. 

Starting to think I may have a serious knee problem. Will continue rehab and see if I can get some improvement. Some new support devices should arrive today. Glad September is here and hope to see some cooler weather soon.

Today was my grandpa‘s birthday so I celebrated it the whole day. Did my daily run ,Felt like my endurance, and my stamina was getting better and better.

hi guys, today i went to south carolina and went to my aunt's house. it was pretty fun i havent seen her in a while. we came home pretty late and i finished up all my homework. goodnight!!

​Today was a good day. I woke up and knocked out some of my requirements while watching two online church services. After lunch, I dove straight into cleaning around the house and getting through some laundry. ​I also finished my essay on the diet challenge today. I officially decided to keep the challenge going through the end of the cycle—there’s no reason to regress to a less healthy lifestyle. I feel better, have more energy, and notice my endurance improving, so I might as well see how far I can take this. ​Finished the evening with a great dinner before heading back home to complete the rest of my requirements, shower, and call it a night. Another solid week is coming—I can feel it.

Today was pretty chill. I did a 3 mile ish run yesterday and it was definitely one of my worst runs. I went with my dog and sister and couldn't really keep up, had to take breaks every now and then and it wasn't that bad my last 3 mile run. My sister said it was mainly due to my eating habits and running form which we worked on. My time hasn't really changed at all this cycle, not as much as it did last time. I really wanna get faster but I need to have better stamina and endurance for that. Anyways, didn't run today and got to sleep in yay! I've been kinda sick the past 2-3 ish days but slowly feeling better. I ate breakfast and was kinda chilling and then got ready for sparring class. I'm slowly getting better and there were some people there I havent...

Today was a pretty chill day. I woke up later today because we didn't go to church until 11. The service was really good, and it talked about teens with phones and what the bible says about it. After, I came home and went on a walk. My knee has really been hurting lately, so I just did a mile and worked on the rest of my requirements. Other than that, I did some chores and just watched a show. I made dinner tonight, and while I was making it, the power cut out, so that sucks. Anyway, I hope everyone had an amazing day. Goodnight!

today I got back from a Boy Scout camping trip. I visited with my nephew and niece. Once I was done with that, I came home and did A 2 mile run and my exercise exercises
