Today was a long day. I had more testing in school today and I got home I had to do my homework and require reading. Later I met with my mentee and went to sparring and blackbelt class. After class I work on my poomsaes with my mentor. When I got home I ate and finished my homework.

Journal #29 - 2/11/2026 Lalitha

Today was an async school day, so things were pretty relaxed on that side. I got my requirements done earlier, and later I walked to the dojang. I started with my mentor session, then helped out in the Senior Tiger class where I led kicks. After that I had my mentee session, followed by sparring, and then BBC where we did the single stick form, a few poomsaes and self defense-attacks to finish everything off. It was a full TKD day, but a good one. Hope everyone’s doing well, and good luck with the rest of the cycle.  - ⟭⟬ Lalitha Sree Damarla⁷ ( •̀ ω •́ )y ✨

Today was a normal day. I had PE in school today so that brightened my day up a bit. I also couldn’t make it to sparring today because I came late from basketball practice. My team made it to the finals, which we are playing tomorrow, which I am really excited for. That was my day. Just one more day until friday!

Middle of the week

Today was a very cool day. I woke up good. Math started as usual. We did some adding mixed numbers with different denominators. Reading was ok. We just read some more of our book, The Phantom Tollbooth. Lunch was ok. I had mac and cheese for lunch today. Recess was cool because I got a good goal. I also switched teams in the middle of the match due to the other team's best player was not showing up the game. Intervention was ok. Science was ok because we did review about weather and all the other stuff about it. Encore was fun because we played games. There was not much stuff going on at school. When I got to taekwondo, I hung out with my friends and got all my requirements done. I lead the down warmups because they are my favorite thing to lead. After taekwondo, I had a basketball game....

Didn't have too much happen today. Learned a little more in my class today to prepare for assignments coming up, then went over to the dojang. My brother and I both got there early to eat lunch since we both picked up food on the way there. I liked high belt class, in the beginning Master Foster had us practice jump rolls over a partner which we don't do a lot of. Afterwards a bunch of the students started playing soccer until we had to leave.

Today I had a regular day at school. It was pretty bland, not a lot was going on. After school, I went to King Tiger for leadership credits. I stayed their for a couple of classes and then it was time to head home. When I got home, I started doing my requirements. Since I did not get the chance  to run in the morning before school, I took an evening run. Running in the evening definitely has a vibe, however I still prefer to run in the morning. Just remember, people quit when the journey gets hard; not impossible. Stay strong. - Lucas

Today was chill. More i-Ready testing today for math and another modified schedule… today felt so much longer but I’m glad that all the testing is over. I got down to KT today to help with class and get some meetings in. That was mostly it. I’m looking forward to the rest of the week being normal. What beautiful weather we’ve been having by the way! It feels amazing outside and it’s making me so excited for the spring :) Keep it up everyone!

Lovely Weather!!

Another day of wonderful sunshine and 65 degrees!! School was ok, not much happened. I got home, got my run in and started doing requirements. I'm finishing up now and then going to relax with my mom for the rest of the night. I hope everyone is doing well! I know the cycle can be really overwhelming right about now, because there is a lot going on and everything will start piling up soon (if it hasn't already). Just know, you're not alone this. One of the reasons we have these journals is so that we can struggle together and be a community. Its not just everyone for themselves. Your masters and instructors have gone through this and we all know how hard this is. So if you need some encouragement or some help, never be afraid to ask. Even if this isn't your first cycle, its ok to struggle too...

Excellent day for the cycle. Good workout this morning followed by a walk up the hill that is Birkdale Crossing Blvd and down to the end. I want even sure if I was going to run today but after the walk I was nice and warmed up again and the weather was perfect. 2.61 miles and while I was tired after the run I felt strong for the rest of the day. I'll take that feeling anytime. Happy Wednesday everyone!

Nice Day

I really hope the days stay like this for a while. Today felt great. I loved the warm sunny day today and enjoyed spending more time outside. I kept one window open while I did my homework. I'm finally getting a decent grasp on my class of accounting. It was pretty confusing at first but I've been practicing and got much better. Got school tomorrow after three weeks of being virtual.

Today I woke up and went to school and had a regular school day. After school, I went to King Tiger for some leadership credits. When I came home, I went ahead to complete my requirements. After I was done, me and my family picked up food from Jason's Deli. The food was pretty good. It was starting to get late in the evening and I once again had two tests that I needed to study for. Math and English. I took a couple of hours to study and that was my day. - Lucas.

I don't know about you guys but the weather was beautiful! It was so nice that my friends and I sat outside for lunch today! I went to school and took a math test, I think I did pretty well. I came home, went running in shorts (I haven't been able to do that all cycle), finished up homework, and went to Scouts. I got some Chick-fil-a on the way home and am finishing up my requirements now. Have a great Wednesday! ~ Peyton

Pretty tired today. Did all my hard workouts before school then I did my easy ones after. I didn’t run though because my legs were tight and I didn’t want to risk re injuring anything. Back to running tomorrow tho I’m still on pace. I also helped with the adult class and got a mentee session in. Anyway that’s all.

Very calm day today. We didn’t do much at school today so I had a lot of free time when I got home. Before I got home though, I volunteered and helped to clean out the school with a couple of my friends. When I got home, I took a nap which was so refreshing. Went to class today to get a mentee session in (might get one tomorrow as well). Anyways, I might just end the day off by watching some Netflix or something.

A Typical Day

Today was an ok day. I woke up fine, but we had to do extra work at school for the class getting mad at the person that reminded the teacher of passing out the homework, so that was annoying. Math went fine, and reading was ok. Reading was ok because I got to read with my friend and talk when we were done with our work. Lunch was fun, because it came quicker that I thought. Recess was fun as usual, because we played soccer. AIG was cool, because I found out that I came in third place for top Math Olympiad. Encore was fun, because I got to talk to my friend again. We had art for encore today. When I got home, I started to work on my game engine. I am done with a print() function, but now I need to work on a wait() function. I was...

A regular week at school now begins. Mondays are of course boring and long . We just mainly caught up on a bunch of stuff for today.

Today was my birthday, and what makes today even better is that I did not have school today. Isn't that a coincidence. That's a pretty awesome birthday gift if you ask me. When I first woke up, I immediately knocked out my requirements because I knew I had kind of a big day planned. Since I turned 16 years old today, I spent a couple of hours at the DMV taking a road test to get my drivers license. I did indeed pass which is super exiting! It is going to feel really strange being able to operate a car by myself. Especially when going to and from class, not having to be dropped off or picked up. When I came home, I did not have much to do however when the evening came around, I really had to study for school tomorrow. I have and English and AP Environmental Science test tomorrow.

Today was a pretty normal school day, nothing too wild. I ended up falling asleep again, which honestly I wasn’t planning on, but it happened.

After I got back home, I packed my school bag since tomorrow is in‑person i‑Ready testing. Overall, just a normal day.

Super Bowl

This morning was a little rough getting started. My mom and I went to a friend's house to watch the Superbowl and got home later than expected. Because of this, I didn't get as much sleep as I normally do. On the way to school, I actually fell asleep which was nice, but I was still tired today. When we were in reading, I couldn't stay awake either. Thankfully lunch was good and then we ha recess. At recess, I was playing soccer but basically spent the whole time running up and down the field because the #1 person on my team wouldn't pass the ball. After recess I had AIG which is always fun. I was glad though that the day was over and my mom brought me Chow Mein when she picked me up. Since getting home, I've been able to relax a bit but tonight I'm missing taekwondo...

Yesterday and Today

I forgot to log my requirements and journal yesterday because I was doing so much other stuff. I woke up in the morning and finished my physical requirements early. I then went to some career readiness event, Costco, an asian store, and then returned home. I joined a Zoom call with someone and got ready for the Superbowl. I had some really delicious food, went to Starbucks with my friends, and chilled. I thought the Super Bowl was pretty bad, but that's just my opinion. Today, I headed to school, and it was normal. I finished all my work, and I just returned from school. I am going to go to class later today and also go to a friend's house for some career guidance. See you later!

I never have much going on during Sundays. I let myself sleep in a little later today which felt good. Though usually I try to practice not to wake up late to form a good sleeping pattern for myself. With not much going on the day felt longer than others. But I got plenty of time to get any homework or requirements in with a lot of time to spare.

Jr. Instructors Camp Days 1 & 2

I hope everyone had a great weekend! Saturday I went to BBC and stayed at King Tiger until 11:30 to help out with classes. I came home for about 2 hours and ran a couple miles. Then I went back to KT from 2p.m. to 11:30a.m. the next morning for Jr. Instructors Camp! As always, a great turn out and a lot of fun. Thank you to all the masters and instructors that came out to teach sessions. And thank you to all the kiddos for coming out and not causing too much trouble! I got about 4 hours of sleep last night on the hard floor so when I went home at noon I quickly took a shower and took a nap. Jr. Instructors Camp was exhausting so I did what I could with my requirments and now I'm watching the Super Bowl with my family. Have a great start...

I forgot to journal yesterday, but nothing really happened during the day. Last night I had a sleepover with my friend, which was fun! Today was fun. I got picked up from my friends house and then we made a chocolate cake/brownie thing, which was yummy! Then I did requirements and got home in time to watch Green Day start the Super bowl! Now we are just watch the Super bowl. :)

That was my day

Today was fun. I got to sleep in and relax this morning. Then, I went to school to see the Legally Blonde musical with my friends and sister. It was so good. When I got home I had a snack and went on a run. Today was more painful than yesterday but I ran my miles a whole minute faster! I got home just in time to see Green Day open for the Super Bowl! I ate a delicious dinner and now we’re all watching the Super Bowl!

Journal #26 - 2/08 /2026 Lalitha

Today was pretty calm overall. I woke up and got my requirements done first thing, then spent some time studying. At some point I ended up falling asleep, and when I woke up I cleaned up the place a bit. Later I went out to wash my parent's car, and I wrapped up the day by finishing another essay. But that's about what my day was.  Hope everyone’s doing well, and good luck with the rest of the cycle.  - ⟭⟬ Lalitha Sree Damarla⁷ ( •̀ ω •́ )y ✨

2 / 8 / 26

Today I woke up and went on a run. I was planning to run 4 miles like I usually do but when I was at the two mile mark, I had to stop and warm up inside my house. I did not expect it to be that cold outside, I assumed that when my blood started flowing, I would warm up. That was not the case. Anyway, I finished up the other two miles when I felt ready. After my run, I went ahead to knock out the rest of my requirements. The remainder of my day was reserved for relaxation. I did not have any obligations that I had to do. - Lucas

Arvaan's Diary - Day 35 Of Black Belt Journey

Hi everyone! Today I did not do much things today. I only did the same things. I got ready to do some exercise since we did not go outside today. Once I finished that, I played my games for two hours. I answered a lot of questions on my king tiger pages, too. Then I ate dinner and played with my sister, then ended off with going to bed!

Junior Leadership

Today was yet another good day and since I didn't get to write yesterday, I'll fill you in on what happened then too. I had an early morning basketball game where we were up 33-0 at halftime and in the 3rd or 4th quarter I scored 2 points. We ended up winning 54-7 which was nice, but I feel the other team essentially gave up playing. After that, my mom took me to scouts because I got to cross over into Troop 83 with two of the other guys from my den. We had a quick ceremony, got our patches and "scout bibles" then headed up to get lunch before I got dropped off at Junior Leadership camp. Junior Leadership camp was nice, as also, and I had a lot of fun learning taekwondo aerobics, nun chucks, the food (especially the breakfast sundae) and of course sleep. My mom came early...

Daily journal

Today was a good day. I am doing a lot of work and refining my essays, and they look pretty nice. I did some of my poomsae and self-defense, and the back of my left leg hurts quite a bit. I am also ready to watch the Super Bowl at 6:30
