Hi King Tiger Family, Happy Valentine's Day. Pretty good day. Got up, did normal routine and went to work. Work was normal and productive, however dealing with some performance issues with people. Always interesting. I did go to church for Men's Bible Study. Great message on making time for scripture each day. I can usually make time at time, but mornings is sometimes difficult if there are extra things to do, but I need to work to make the time. I got home, took care of somethings and now writing this. I need to do some requirements but not sure I am going to get to them. We will see. I will get it done. Take care.

Today I had a lockdown at school. I was sitting in class then my science teacher started running down the hall saying "Lock all the doors!" and the teacher told us to get to the back of the class. I hid in the corner of the room next to a book shelf and started praying until I couldn't think of anything else. But then this loud and annoying girl starts to run around and scream and it gets worse because I heard and felt knocking on the door because I was on the wall. I started to text my mom "I love you" but then I hear my teacher say "oh false alarm a teacher put in the wrong code". It should of said violently sick but instead it said violent attacks and the teachers assumed that meant a school threat so that was weird.

Hello King Tiger Family. Today was an early release day at school so we only did our Black history project presentations. I did amazing on my speech and feel like I had one of the best board. After presentations we went music and then lunch. I went to after school and ran 2 miles and spent the rest of the afternoon relaxing with my friends. My mom picked me up and told me that we were having black belt practice for candidates so we went home to pick up my uniform and head to King Tiger. I completed my exercises and worked on short sticks. I also had a mentor session and worked on staff form and more short stick forms. Me and my mom stopped by Chickfila for dinner and then came home. I worked on self defense and rolls and finished the rest of my requirements for the day. ...

Happy Valentine’s day ! This morning I woke up early and got ready early. My dad bought me and my sister chocolates and cupcakes but he woke up sick. When I got to school there was a whole ton of pink. Math wasn’t any different than a normal day. We had clubs today and my friend was ranting to me about how she hates all the couples during valentine’s day which made me laugh. I only got 2 presents the entire day both from my friends but i’m grateful anyway. When i got home I did some requirements and went to Tkd but instead of having a class I helped out with the junior tiger testing. I will be helping out with the senior tigers tomorrow even though my parents are going to a housewarming but i didn’t want to go anyway. That’s all for today good night !

Happy Valentines Day! So far school has been fun. I did forget to put in my rubber bands for my barces but considering I'm recieving candy every few minutes I don't think I'll need them. I gave some of my friends skittles (one of them got more than the others) and my mouth is filled with colors of different candies. I'll probably be sick by the end of the day....

Another late journal, because I'm ever so great at time management! Today, I helped out in the senior tiger class. I led a warm up and then did worked with Deetya to help the high white belts learn Chagi Sool! We noticed their kicks weren't the sharpest, so we had them balance their legs to hold a square target to practice their knee positioning; we told them if they could balance the target they had a good position, and they were very entertained. Honestly, so were we, especially as the high white belts struggled at first. Eventually, they all did well, and it was rewarding to see them succeed! I should really work on my time management..

Tae Geuk Sam Chang.

Today was another great day!  I helped in the Senior Tigers class, attended the Adult class and mentored my new mentee.  I went home and worked on my self-defense and poomsae's.  I finished Sam Chang extremely fast and realized I'd left out quite a few movements,  six to be exact : ).  There are 34 movements in Tae Geuk Sam Chang.

Matthew's journal entry

Hi Guys! First of all, congratulations to everyone who made it on the demo team. That's awesome! Second, how's the cycle going? Good? Awesome! I know it can be hard with school, work and extracurricular activities but we're here for each other if we need help. My BBC just advanced because I finished my mission statement essay. I was satisfied with the result. I didn't actually finish it because it's still a rough draft, but it's a good one nonetheless. It will only take me 20 minutes to finish the final draft. Anyway, that was that. I hope yall's day was macaroni and ham sandwiching awesome! Matthew Beckwith out!

Hi King Tiger Family. Today was a good day. I went to school and took my ELA test and I think I did good. We have to give our speeches tomorrow for part of our Black history project and I think we are doing them all day because it is early dismissal. I am excited about the half day. I ran for 20 minutes during recess. When I came home I worked on my science book creator project and then finished my requirements. After dinner I practiced my speech and then took a shower. Now I'm about to read before bed.

Journal for Tuesday

Hello King Tiger! If you have read my last journal, you would have known that I am behind on requirements. Well, today, I finished the requirements I was lagging on and now I have to wait until tomorrow to do the next one. Today was fun because we had club pictures for a club today and a guy named Ryan picked me up on his shoulders and I had a bird's eye view. I was honestly scared that he would drop because he was trembling a bit. My legs were killing me in the most painful way it has because I played too much badminton today during PE. Anyway, I hope everyone is having a good week 6.

I woke up this morning and got ready for school like normal.  Then we walked to school.  We had blocks like usual, we did this test thing and they gave us little ear bud in a cool case that we got to keep.  At recess we played infection and I got 3rd because there were so many people infected!  Then I got to KT and ate snack and then did my black belt stuff and ran a mile.  Finally we went to a pancake supper at church, I had 3 pancakes and some really good sausage patties.  Then we went home after making sure Anthony got over to Boy Scouts.  Goodnight.

Today was a pretty fun day at school. I woke up early because i had to straighten my hair. In math we didn’t get much time and only did notes because there was this assembly for a dance performance thing by some company and it was really interesting because they were really good dancers. In science we started a new project but I didn’t really get it. In Spanish we reviewed for our test on thursday. In social studies we did a puzzle trying to find out who killed this person which started WW1. And Ela was the same as yesterday because I was still way ahead of the class.

Today was my fort day as a white belt! I decided to tie my belt into a bow for the act, and I found it funny alongside other people!! The belt surprisingly stayed on for the class, but while I did some mentorship with Deetya and Master Foster, it immediately fell off after we started Hapkido 2 (wasn’t surprised).

Crazy Floor Rolls!

High Belt class was great today.  We started with some kind of Crazy Floor Rolls that made me dizzy and we also practiced Kick Routines, Poomsae's and Self Defense.  In Black Belt class, we practiced Knife training.  I was able to find the only tutorial on You-Tube for Koryo Self-Defense since the one on this sight is no longer loading. The channel is: King Tiger Tae Kwon Do Bocho Dan Deputy Black Belt Self Defense by King Tiger Tae Kwon Do.

Today was quite an exciting Monday. A ton of new units for school as well as finishing up some projects for different units. I had fun instructing today and got the message that I made the demo team. It’s very exciting, though I am still very sore from all of it. My chest is what is the most sore right now, but in the end it’s all worth it. I am proud of myself, especially since I was originally not going to tryout. I’m glad I did……

Hello King Tiger! If you read my last journal, you would know that I am lagging in week 6 for requirements. I just finished Sunday's requirements and I am going to do Monday's  and Tuesday's tomorrow. If this trend keeps on going, I am going to be in some huge trouble. Anyways, my day was good. I took an exam for a club. I don't know what I got(the questions brought confusing to whole new level), but I think I did good. Wish me luck, guys...

It's my daughter's birthday, so we are in Virginia to celebrate it with her. She spent a few hours with us at the hotel before heading out later to celebrate with her friends from college.  Another reminder that I am getting older - or at least too old to hang at a bar with college kids.  Thankful for an early bed time and no hang over tomorrow.

Good Evening King Tiger Family. Today was an ok day. I got up and did my exercises and then went went to school. I turned in my Black history project that I was talking about a few days ago. I'm glad I finally got to turn it in. It took multiple days to finally get it done. During my school day I started to feel a little sick and had to go home early. I came home and relaxed for a few hours and started feeling a little better. I did not feel well enough to go to my class tonight. I'm upset because I missed a lot of credits. I finished the rest of my requirements and I'm glad I was able to run laps at school before I started feeling sick. I'm about to work on a couple of activities for my book requirement so I can knock out...

Today I am still sick, so I ended up not going to school. For fear of infecting others, I skipped out on Tae Kwon Do as well. I did whatever I could from home. Today was really boring. After school my friends were all texting me wondering why I wasn’t at school today. I told them that I was sick but no one believed me because after all, it was the day after Super Bowl.

Another great class taught by Grandmaster Evins.  I still can't believe we have a Grandmaster teaching our class.  It is very humbling for someone like me to watch his demonstration of a technique, even slowed down by his standards, move too fast for me to follow.  Many thanks to Master Cavazos for helping me after class with Bo Staff forms.  I still felt good enough in the evening to get in kicks, sit ups, jump rope, plank and push ups.

Super Bowl Sunday!  Spent most of the afternoon working on my essay for tae kwon do.  Learned a lot about Korean history.  I was able to get in a workout before the game started.  Had the gym to myself.  I could say everyone else was invited to a super bowl party, but I prefer to look at it as I was the only person in the building who had the discipline to work out right up until kickoff.  I tried to mix up the routine.  I am still feeling it from the chest and back workout on Friday.

Back again! Like normally, I went to school and our sub was very nice and we played lots of fun games. I did not have outdoor recess since it was raining pretty hard. At home, I relaxed and got ready for the 5:15 class so I can assist. I also had another mentee session but it was a different person. I did kicks down the mat (leadership) and when I got home I watched some mrbeast with my family as we ate and now im going to go to sleep. Good night!!!

Happy Monday! Busy day! One of our dogs, Cami, had a dental at the vet's office today so there was drop off and pick up as well as her being kind of out of it all day. All went well though and I think she'll be back to herself tomorrow. I got in a 2.5 mile run. I'm still doing the couch to 5K program. I am progressing although slower than I would like. I got my bb requirements in for the day. Worked. Took Jovi to his guitar lesson. Went to taekwondo and got in a mentee session, a class assistance, and a leadership credit.

Today I woke up and was back at it. I got ready for school and as I was walking out the door, my sisters dog got sick. Which was a terrible thing, however it did mean he got to come with me for the ride to school, which was awesome. I had a pretty good day at school; I had a test in psychology and registered for my classes next year. Then I came home and had a meeting with my personal counselor. Then I went and worked out. Afterwards I got food from City Barbeque, which was really good; I did get way too much food and could not finish it all. I then did some homework while waiting for the dogs from camp. Later I finished up some requirements and showered. Now I am here.

Managing life

2nd day of work, today I got to care for a patient. There’s things that feel familiar to when I was in school, but other things that I was responsible for that I am now. It’s going to be a long transition into nursing, and I’m never going to know everything. But the key is to keep asking questions and working on learning and improving more. The people I’ve been working are great, having a supportive team is helpful. Another big aspect is to take care of yourself and find a routine. Something I’ve been reading a lot about with atomic habit. Today I did my physical reqs. before work, when I get off I going to attempt to go to a run.

Hey guys! Happy Monday. As I mentioned in my last entry, I said I would write about the Super Bowl. So here it is. My thoughts on the Super Bowl are mixed. I don't exactly like football but i think it's starting to grow on me. At first the game was a bit boring, but after halftime, with the score being 10-3 it appeared as if the 49ers were winning. Yeah... no. The Chiefs scored a field goal and then a touchdown (+1 point conversion) At over time the score was 19-19. The 49ers scored a field goal in over time but it wasn't enough. The Chiefs had the ball and QB Patrick Mahomes made the winning pass. Everybody cheered. Hilariously, my Mom danced. She wanted the Chiefs to win but the boys in the house wanted the 49ers to win. It was hilarious to watch my Mom celebrate. Today we are...

Today was a normal day and it was kind of boring. I watched the Super Bowl and wanted the 49ers to win but the chiefs made a last second touchdown and they won. I’m sad the 49ers didn’t win but maybe they will next season.

Surprise!

Today at church, I was in the dining room uncovering the food.  I looked up to tell everyone to start fixing their plates and as I looked toward the far, far end of the room, I saw my husband (he was supposed to be in West Virginia).  I said, "HEY, THERE'S TROY!  Then I said, IS THAT HIM?  : ) I was surprised because I didn't expect to see him until Monday.  I didn't run today because my knees are the size of elephants knees.  I worked on my self defense,  poomsae's and other requirements, and watched the first few seconds of the Super Bowl and the half-time show.  I usually watch the last quarter, but I really needed to get some reading in.  I don't know anything about football, but I do know the importance of the last inning or quarter, whatever it is.  I'm from Cali, so of course...

Journal for Sunday

Hello King Tiger! Today was a good day except I couldn't do my requirements because my parents made a rule that I should not do any requirements over 6 o' clock and I reached home at 7 because of shopping . Let's hope I could finish today's and tomorrow's requirements by tomorrow, which is most likely to last over an hour.

A quick journal before I fall asleep!! Today I made a couple of drawings on these paint swatches I found! Each paint swatch had a name and, obviously, a color, so I drew something based on that. My favorite was ‘Bread Basket’, which was a painfully simple one but it was something I didn’t normally draw, which was nice

Today I woke up, did requirements, and showered. That is not something I normally do in the morning, but I forgot to shower last night since I showered during the day. Then I went to church, I got to teach the kindergarten and 1st graders, which I always enjoy. They are so young, but some of them are just so smart. I then came home and helped get the house ready for the painters to come. Tomorrow and Tuesday we are getting most of our house repainted into a more modern and neutral color. Then I finished up my requirements for the day with my dad. Then I did some homework, my girlfriend came over, then I did some more homework. Afterwards I showered, stretched, and now I am here.

Today I got to sleep in and it felt great! I ran 2 miles on the treadmill and I did my requirements. After I did all of that around 5 I went my friends house and I watched the superbowl. And I got to hang out with my friends. We had BBQ for dinner and before we left our friends donated to finished bags for bags of hope.

Today I went mute and had to use a whiteboard, a marker, and a napkin to talk. I woke up hearing my dad say "Parker are you up?" and I couldn't say yes so I had to crawl out of my bed and wave my hands in the air like I just don't care. We then went to Walmart to shop for Valentines day. When we were at check out this woman forgot one of her bags so my dad said "run and go bring it to her." so I did but I accidently scared her but I couldn't say sorry or here you go so I just ran off like I was batman or something.

Today was a catchup day because yesterday I spent most of the day out at a dinner and a party. So today I caught up on all my homework and then went driving with my dad. My arms were still sore from Black Belt Class but I managed for the most part.

I am very sore from yesterday. The demo team tryout was fun and very much worth it, but I am extremely sore. I finished my science project and talked with my friend. After watching the killer half-time show, I am now lying in bed whilst talking with my friend…..

First day on the unit

Today was my first nurse shift on the unit. I saw some very interesting patients and medical interventions. I will be under the guidance of a preceptor for about a few months, building to be more comfortable with patients on my own. Each shift I need to work on being more comfortable and competent in my skills. I also have to manage the black belt cycle with doing 12 hr shifts. Good thing I been working really hard in January to stay on track.

Hi King Tiger Family. I hope everyone is doing well. We are at the mid point... and making great progress. This is where we should be starting to refine your black belt level skills and use your mentor sessions to ask questions. It is was a great Sunday. Got up like normal, went to church, family had lunch, and then some requirements. We also have some painters coming tomorrow to paint our house so we spent time today getting ready for that too. Now, I am watching Super Bowl and actually in the Normatec(s) to help with some recovery. Getting settled for the rest of the evening and hopefully bed a decent hour. Have a great night and week. Take care.

Sunday

Hi guys, do you know what day it is? If you guess Sunday you're partially right. Actually, scratch that - there are two correct answers. If you guessed that it's SUPER BOWL Sunday then you would also be correct. If you want the Chiefs to win, that's cool. If you want San Francisco to win, then we think alike. Maybe I'll check in later, but right now I'm going to a party with my friends. Good luck football fans!

Today was so much fun. I had black belt class while our do jang was on zoom with Master Evins. It was a great class since I got a ton of work on my Bo Cho specials. After instructiong class and little tigers, I went out to lunch with a friend and then came back to the do jang for the demo team tryouts. I had so much fun during the tryouts and Master Osborne is such an enjoyable teacher. I hope I did well, but I really learned how to improve myself especially after my knee recovery and saw where I can improve on both my flexibility, speed, and strength in my techniques.

Today started with black belt class, afterwards I taught some classes. At home It was pretty normal, at one point my dog had my hand enveloped in her paws and my hand fell asleep. At night I went to watch the aadams family musical with some friends. Then we got dinner and went to the park. It was very wet out so we got soaked but overall a fun day.
