Candidate Journals

I was pretty early waking up today because I had to do 4 miles today. I did 2 in the Morning and 2 before Sparring. I was really to myself today but still the same way. I ended up getting 2 lunches because my friend said you could but that wasn’t true but the ladies were nice and just let me have it anyways. I was disappointed on how I did today in sparring and I just want to get better. I’m supposedly Top 3 students in terms of sparring in the do jang but I still don’t use my gifts to full advantage. It’s annoying because I know what to do but I make it a pattern and it becomes obvious and they just make me do  the opposite. 

I woke up and had a protein shake and went to school I then did my classes until my band class came and we played on the drum set which was fun. I then went home and got Duolingo that my friends have been talking about and I choose to learn Japanese and it was so fun. I then finished my exorcizes and went to class.

Today was good. I did't have any tests, quizzes, or anything of the sort. but im feeling pretty sick today so im going to skip out on sparring and just go to black belt class.

Happy Birthday to ME! My knee seems to be getting better. Will continue to rehab. Continue to workout and practice my forms and self defense. Time to start considering essays and creative form.

Good day today. Got a lot done in the office before picking up my kiddos, also picked up a little guy that we are helping out for a couple of weeks with a ride. He is a kindergartener but is quite the  conversationalist and if my Waze had malfunctioned at all he would have been able to step in as navigator. Adorable. Then classes where I worked with a lot of new belts on their new hop steps and hooks, and helped run some kiddos through for their makeup tests. We have quite a few new afterschoolers in class too but some of them are Group 2 kiddos from summer camp and they are having a great time and start to the school year. After sparring class I came home and finished up on some requirements while the thin crust pizza I made was in the oven. My dogs kept me...

Today was my brothers birthday. First we woke him up for the presents. Then went to school. Then went to eat at a hibachi place. Then went to play golf. Thats my day.

hi guysss, very tired today had work and finished up my homework. im gonna have a mentee session and sparring tomorrow so im looking forward to that. goodnight!!

​Today was another solid day overall. I worked out early before work again, and it was another banger of a session. I burned over 600 calories, awesome way to start off the day. Once I got to work, I filled up one of the vehicles and gave it a quick clean. It still needs a bit more work—just like all the other vehicles—but I’ll get to them soon. ​I spent about 30 to 45 minutes working on my essay for the 30-day diet challenge. I stayed after work to catch a mentee session, helped out with the 5:15 class, jumped into class right after, and wrapped up the evening with sparring.  I did throw a few solid kicks in sparring tonight that I was happy with, but I did catch an elbow on a kick and foot is bruised again.  Dangit.  After sparring class I tried to give some advice on...

Today I woke got ready and went to school where I got my second project and 2 assignments.After school I went to Takewondo and got my leader ship and class assistance.After I went to a place like kumon.After I went to soccer were I scored In a scrimage.

27 Today was my math test. It seemed very hard at first, but I thought it through and think I did pretty well on it. After that, I went to tkd volunteering and helped others. Helping others not only made me feel good but also it made me learn from my mistakes and correct my forms. After that, from my mentor session, I finnaly got red and high red belt down.   Over all a 7/10 day

    Today was a very exciting day. To some of you this might sound like an exaggeration, but I was very excited to get my new backpack. I used my Amazon gift cards and it was arriving today. Anyways, this morning, I woke up got ready for school before heading on the bus. After school, I went to King Tiger got some of my requirements done along with sparring and had some delicious tacos. I then went home before receiving my new backpack is amazing. good night

Today was a pretty good day. School was good, nothing remarkable happened. When I got home I had time to do all my requirements and run pretty early. Usually I go around 8 but I went earlier since my bus got home early. I regret it because it was very humid. My cousins came from Ohio today. One of them is going to college in Canada so she's visiting before she has to leave. We played monopoly together which was fun and now I'm doing homework. 

today was pretty tiring. I started getting actual school work today. I was honestly feeling pretty sick throughout the day. after i had band practice and we fortunately didn’t go outside bc it was wet. i pulled myself through because i had a stuffy nose and sore throat. after i came home i went to taekwondo class and got a lot of poomsae practice as a well as a long mentor session. that’s all for today, goodnight!

Hello everyone, today was special because I got to do a bunch of new things in my classes, I'm also taking a quiz tomorrow in AP World History, wish me luck. After school, I finished my homework and then went to my favorite class of the week, sparring class. I was able to kick people which was fun, but I remember being kicked really hard in the chest, humbling experience. After that, I went home and ate some dinner, then studied for my test, I hope you all had a great day, see you all later.

Today I went to school, and had a diagnostic in math. I had not finished, but I wanted to take my time so I could get a better score than ever. Then I came home and took a class. Then I went to help out at Tae Kwon Do, and led the class. Then I got a mentor session, and practiced red and high red self defense, along with Oh Chang and Yuk Chang.

Today I got up at the perfect time and I got my mile done and did my pushups. At school today it was fun being in homeroom and making some more friends in there. I had a lot of fun at lunch with my homies walking around outside and stuff. I had AP History today which was kinda confusing at first but I got my work finished early. I made a lot of progress on my beats and lyrics for a few songs. I had a Mentor session with Master Weeks and a Mentee session with Matteo after school. I just realised I wrote all of this in no particular order 😭. I think I already got a good friend group who are the same types of people I hang around but also a little diverse. I have 4 friends that are grades above me now, most of them are sophomores.

I worked with some yellow belts today, they were a huge disaster but by the end they looked better and had fun lol. worked with some yellow belts today, they were a huge disaster but by the end they looked better and had fun lol. I had a long day. Especially ankle wise. I’m doubting it’ll be healed for testing. Which isn’t good. I’ll figure that out. It’s hard to keep up with training on it. I had to skip most of my workout today, even the elliptical was hurting. Again though, just trying to work around it. So yeah.

Today I woke up around my usual time and got to work doing even more pushups before going to school. Today at school we had a pretty big science test so on the bus ride I prepared for that. After school I ate a light snack before going to King Tiger. I helped out today for some credit and did the sparring class. Sparring was pretty fun I was really tired after so my dad ordered some pizza for us and I ate that for dinner. After dinner I played some games with my grandpa and called it a night. Cya!

Today was busy but overall a good day. school was normal; I can't believe that tomorrow is already Friday, It seems like this week has gone by super fast. After school I came home and did my requirements, I'm a little sore form yesterday but mostly all was good. I went over to King Tiger for sparring class and while I was there I was able to get a mentee and mentor session. Later, I came home and actually had some free time for about an hour, which was a strange feeling for a week night. That wraps up my day, I hope everyone else had a good Thursday.

hello guys, today i had school and i had such a tiring day. i’m taking 11 classes this semester and all of of them r either ap or de so it’s kicking my butt. after coming from home i worked on my creative form for a bit then did my other requirements before getting started on my homework which is yet to be completed 

Tonight, I got a lot of satisfaction helping out in the Senior Tigers class (ages 8-12).  One of the drills they had to do was front, side and roundhouse kicks over a kicking pad.  The point of the exercise was to get them to chamber their kicking leg before kicking over the pad.  I was surprised to see the control a lot of them had.  That tells me they're practicing on their own at home. I also had a talk with a student who was getting frustrated because he felt overwhelmed with schoolwork and practice.  I like to think of times like this, when you're feeling overwhelmed, as Life Is Getting Loud.  I didn't try to diminish the way he was feeling, but I did try to offer a way to quiet the noise and to help him going forward.  Ultimately, I'll support him either way.      

Today was ok, not the best. School was whatever, I was half falling asleep in my first 2 class periods becuase I was just so tired. I am definitely going to have a good 5+ hours of homework this weekend....not looking forward to that. I came home and started my requirements, around 5:45p.m. I went to KT for a mentee session and then got in some poomsae and kick minutes before sparring. Sparring was good, lots of jump rope which is always a favorite of mine. Short sparring matches with lots of rest which I appreciated too. I came home, ate dinner with my dad, and then started my homework (which I am taking a break from as of now to write this). I still have a few minutes of push-ups and plank to work in between math or AP world practice questions and reading guides but hopefully I can get...

Today was good, I had four study halls on account of my AP Bio class which is two periods long not happening today, but it was fine cause I got some other stuff done instead. I also went to tkd and I'm finally starting to catch up on mentee sessions. so that's good. In sparring today, we did a lot of footwork drills with jump rope, and let me tell you, it was not easy. We also ended up doing sparring around the world, which is where the matches are shorter, but you line up a bunch of people, and then after the shorter match finishes, they just rotate and go again right after. It was actually pretty fun, and I landed a couple really good kicks. I also almost kicked two people in the face with the same kick, one of them happened to be master Marcus, but I'm sure...

I woke up today and got to school and after that I got some homework. I then Got home and did a sparring class and got home and ate dinner.  

Today was a pretty normal day at school. We had a fire drill during a test, so that wasn't ideal, but it was fine. When I came home, I was not feeling great, so I decided to stay home from TKD today. I finished my homework and went on a 3-mile walk to try and make myself feel better, and it kinda worked, but then I went and did my requirements, and I started to feel really bad again. Anyway, I hope everyone had an amazing day. Goodnight!

Today I went to my schools football game. And did my requirements. 

Woke up ate breakfast and went to school.I worked hard at school and had a good day. I did my run when I got to King Tiger and then had early dinner at Jason’s Deli. I went back to King Tiger and helped out with class and did some requirements and a session with my mentor. I took sparring class and noticed some things I can work on. I am going to sleep well. 

Today I had a test in physics and hopefully I did well after that. I went home and studied for my next test tomorrow then I went to tae kwon do, was a very productive day today.

Woke up feeling the flu shot that I got yesterday, my arm was very stiff and sore and I was slow-moving.  I did hit the greenway, not a huge amount of running as I was having a hard time keeping my breath.  The pollen has been no joke and it seems like every year my allergies hit me hard at the end of the summer.  The rain that we have been getting is terrific, it also seems to have brought on a mega ragweed pollen season.  The miles got done though and I did feel better afterwards and the movement loosened up the soreness in my arm which made working on my other requirements a little easier.  I had some good groups in the classes tonight.  In one I had a white belt that started in summer camp, a little junior tiger that helped teach a brand new white belt how...

second day of school, got to go to 3 new classes. I’m rly liking my 1st block right now. lunch schedule pretty weird though. after marching band i went to my friends bell pooja. really sleepy goodnight!

I’m very tired and going to bed. Idk how to get enough sleep now lol. With school and everything there’s not really any time that isn’t occupied. Class was good though. Good night:

hi guys, very tiring day at school today im mixing up all my subjects and im getting confused i want summer to come back. i had black belt class today but came at 5:30 to help out and left at 8:40ish so now im trying to cram in all my homework. im currently doing my lit work so yay. okay goodnight

Today was another good day. ​I got in another great workout before work today and stuck around to put in a little extra effort. Right after, I went to King Tiger, picked up Joe and the little bus, and headed to Enso to load everything out. We eventually got it all packed up and moved over to storage. ​I had a fantastic lunch with Dad and Joe at City Barbeque, followed by a nice workday—the time goes by so quickly compared to summer camp! ​After work, I came home and spent about an hour writing my 30-day challenge essay. Later on, I met up for dinner with someone who used to work for me and is now out in the world flourishing. It’s always refreshing to catch up with him. ​Now I’m back home, showered, and relaxing. Got a long day ahead tomorrow, topped off with sparring in the evening!

Today was a good day. At school I was very productive and got most of my work done for the whole week. I had math after lunch and it was kind of boring because its basically all the same stuff we learned last year. Last year I was in AP precalculus and this year I'm in math 171 which is college precalculus so the stuff we learn is pretty much exactly the same. My dad picked me up from school so I got home earlier than usual. I finished my requirements and went to help out with the junior tigers class. The junior tigers are always fun, they have so much energy its very contagious. I also had a mentor session with master knight and took high belt class after. 

26 Today is a wednesday. I was informed that I have and Ap math test tommorrow and I'm both panicking and not panicking at the same time. In computer science ap class we did coding with python to make a physical hardware piece light up. It was pretty cool.   Overall it is a 5/10 day.  

I’m going to a football game for my school. I’d picture day today as well after school I went to a sparring class. And I got a credit for sparring class assistance, and leadership.

Today I woke up at around 6:30 in the morning, I couldn't run since my knee and ankle were still injured. My mom put some medicine yesterday night which made it feel a little bit better. Anyways I headed to school and got my result for social studies test which I got a 100. After school I went home ate some chips and a bit of my birthday cake, after that I relaxed for an hour before preparing for my science test tomorrow. I prepared for an hour and then took a break. Since I was pretty behind for like 2 days because of my injuries, I decided that if I couldn't do any leg excersizes I might as well do some push-ups. I did 4 minutes of push ups 4 times so 16 minutes. My arms were pretty tired so I rested for like 25 minutes and ate dinner. After...

Today was a pretty good day. I woke up and went to school, school was normal, not to many eventful events happening. When I came home, I got to my requirements and then went to King Tiger. I was able to get a mentee session in and was also able to work on some specific parts of poomsae. When I cam home, I wasted no time going to the track so I could run. I wanted to see how my time compared in a neighborhood vs a track with flat ground. I got to running and the whole time I was telling myself I was going to break my record and indeed I did. I ran my 4 miles in under 30 minutes which was a goal I have had since cycle started in January. It is so rewarding making a difficult goal and then working really hard towards it and finally...

Today was okay, I got all my work done, and I wasn't super tired. It wasn't a bad day, but it also wasn't an amazing day, it was just one of those day where you feel like you're just floating through the day and forget about most of what actually happened by the next day. Anyway, I am pretty tired now, so I'm going to bed, goodnight!

Hello everyone, today was pretty normal, woke up and ate breakfast then went to school. I finished classes like normal then went home, at I finished my homework and exercises. Then I went to TKD and got a mentor session and did some classes and worked on anyo isa. I hope all of you had a great day, see you later.

Today I had my club fair at school, where I got to present my idea to bring Beta Club to the student body. I had the people sign a paper so I could show my principal that we have kids interested, and I got over 30 signatures. Other than that, today was pretty boring. When I got home, I got in a quick mile run and had to go to taekwondo. Today was the shin kickers class and sparring, which went really well. I came home and finished up my requirements. Now I'm trying to finish my Biology work. I hope that everyone had an amazing day. Goodnight!

School was alright, I have a test in pretty much every class next week so I will need to start studying this weekend. I came home after school, worked on homework, finished up my daily requirements, and went on a nice run. My mom is leaving for VA tomorrow so I got to spend a little time with her tonight. I hope everyone had a great day! ~ Peyton

Today I went to school, and reading was extremely boring. Science was when we got our test results back, and I was happy because, my teacher said that most people got bad scores on the test, and I got a 90, so I was kind of proud of myself. Then I went to health, which was boring as always. Then I went to band, which was kind of fun 'cause we played instruments a lot. Then I went to social studies, we worked on projects. Then in math we worked on hard work, and I found a technique to do it faster, but the teacher said we had write exactly what she wrote, or else she would take away points which really frustrated me. Then I went home, and took a class. Then I went to my first soccer practice, then in the middle, had to leave, for weekday black belt...

Today was a long day at school. I also went to the DMV and barely passed, with a 20/25 score. Today I went to the black belt weekday class, and I caught up on some requirements for my black belt cycle.

Woke up ate breakfast and went to school. School was good. I went to King Tiger after school and did some requirements and class assistance credits. I did a mile when I got home and then did my ton of homework. Going to sleep good tonight!

I woke up today and slept in while I could then got ready to gob to school. I then did my classes and got home to nock out some class assistances and go get dinner

Today I woke up slightly late and I had to hurry up and I didn’t have enough time to take a run until after school. I ate two egg muffins and a singular pancake. Not my favorite combo but I like both of them individually. I actually got to school early today so I went in the lunch line to get breakfast that morning because I was still hungry. I went to class and made friends with the my other classmates that didn’t sit at my table. I made a lot of friends today and in just homeroom I made three. After Homeroom was Health which I talked with my table a lot more and talked to the people on the soccer team about their positions and stuff. After Health was Computer Science and I made a lot of friends and I made a few friends that were juniors and sophomore’s. After...

today was alright. i think i did pretty good on my bio test today. other than that a lot of memorizing. got home, just finished my requirements. nothing new.

    My day is going good so far, I have just finished my i-Ready test I did good. I am going to go to Grand Master Evens school for black belt class so I can get caught up from when I was on vacation. I also was able to mentor Jaden and get a leadership credit as well as class assistant checked off. I finished my exercises when I got home and here I am watching TV in my bed.

Hurt my knee pretty good on Monday. Couldn't put any weight on my leg. Saw my PT for my achilles rehab and she gave me a plan to get my knee back in shape. No running for me for at least a week. Started driving the bus again for afterschool pickup.

Today was pretty good. My school lunch was very good after school after school. I came home and went to Taekwondo after that I did my exercises and I just woke up and realized I had to do my journal.

Good day today. All but the kindergarteners and prek are back in school and I am back to my instructor schedule. Lots of end of the summer and afterschool work today in the office and then off to pick up kiddos. Back to help in class, worked stances with a lot of students today and some self-defense as well.Then some takeaways with Master Lucas and Master Marcus after class. Super helpful and I even took a page out of my mentee's book and wrote some notes down when I got home. Have my miles and workout planned for tomorrow and know what I want to tackle next with my mentor. Hope everyone has a lovely Wednesday!

Today was fun-ish. I went to school had a club meeting, went home and did my requirements. then i had a harrusburg youth council meeting (which was basically next to the dojung) so that was fun.

helloooo, i HATEEEEEE school why is my calc teacher such a harsh grader its making me mad. anyways i just finished all my economics and calc work and im getting ready to do physics now yayyyyyy :/ we are not sleeping tonight but its okay. byeeee

25   Today was a slighty better day from yesterday. I felt more energized after school, but still took a nap. After tkd class, I did my tkd requirments and went to thew airport to pick up grandparents. I haven't seen them in a long time, they are so amazing.     Overall a 6/10 day  

today was my first day of school. my classes are pretty good i like my teachers. afterwards i had marching band practice till 6 and right after i had tkd class where i got leadership credits and a mentee session. i’m trying really hard to keep up with everything im doing and it’s really hard. almost done 5 more weeks! goodnight!

Today I did my phisical requierments and went to school where we got homework and after I got home I got ready and helped In class for my assistance credit.Once home I ate dinner at friends house then came home read some of a book/Finally I brushed and wrote this journal.

today i went to school and had so much homework. i came home and did my requirements then went to robotics 

Today was a good day. Woke up feeling great and ready to take on the day. ​I headed straight to 9Round and hit a killer workout—it felt good to be back in the gym. I even stayed after to get some extra work in. I stepped on the scale for the first time in about two weeks; the weight hasn't changed much, but more importantly, I'm feeling strong. ​After work, I took class and then headed home to tackle a few chores. Dinner and a shower followed, and now exhaustion is setting in. Hopefully, I'll get a solid night's rest. ​Tomorrow starts early with a morning workout, followed by heading over to Enso to load up the rest of the gear and haul it to storage. ​Goodnight, all.

Today I woke up for school. Then I went. I took a reading test, but I was upset about my score. But I hope to grow next time. After I came back, I took a class, then went to swimming class. After that I played soccer with my friends for a looooong time.

Whew. First day of school done. I forgot how much I hated highschool haha. Classes today were good though. I was teaching a few kids their first class, kwon sol. One of them asked “do I have to yell?” So that was fun. I tried taking off my brace in the second class. That was a no. It helped the stiffness at first, but hurt worse after. For that small time though it was great. I so missed doing round kicks right. I can’t point my toes with the brace. Anyways. I got a pumpkin latte today, which was good. And I don’t want to go to school again tomorrow haha. It’s very hard for me to not be annoyed with people there. Goodnight guys.  

Today I woke up early in the morning at around 7. Although I couldn't really do any exersizes other than pushups because I hurt my ankle while doing jump ropes yesterday. After I went to school and in PE while we were playing ultimate football I dived to make a catch but since the grass was still wet I slipped while doing so and fell on my knee which hurt really bad so I could barely walk pretty much the whole day. I also had 2 tests, On 1 I got an 100 and we didn't get the score for the other one yet. After I got home I relaxed because my knee was still pretty badly injured and that's what I did the whole time. My mom applied some treatment which hopefully makes it better tomorrow. Anyways good night!

I was fortunate enough to be mentored by Master Knight tonight before class.  While we were working on Green abd High- Green self-defense and poomsaes, he stressed proper stances and hand placement.  These are things you don't normally focus on because you're trying to remember the movements.  But I understand why what he was saying is important.  You can never do the basics enough.  Being proficient in the basics isn't just important for white belts; it's the foundation of success for every belt level.  Mastery of the basics determines how good a student will (or won't) be in the future.  This includes poomsae quality, sparring effectiveness, self-defense techniques, and even your ability to teach others.  So never stop doing them.

Today was a good day. I had 3 classes today which were all good. I especially like my history class. I usually think lectures are boring especially for history classes but my teacher makes lectures very engaging and interesting. In my free time for the rest of the school day I worked on the puzzle that we have had in our room for the past week. We finally finished that one and started another one which was also 350 pieces but much easier. We finished that one in less than an hour and started a 500 piece one. When I got home I did all my requirements and went for a run. I did 2 miles, would have done 3 but my knee was feeling like it was going to start hurting a lot so I didn't push it. On another note, I miss playing volleyball. I hope I can get...

School is fine, its the homework that is awful. I have consistently had at least 2 hours of homework every night since the first full week of school and its starting to take a toll on me. I'm not behind in my requirements but I have had to use up a lot of my built up minutes. Weekends have been busy too; classes, requirements, homework, family/friends, and I just have not had a lot of relaxation recently. I feel like its all go go go and I can't slow down. Anyways, I didn't get to journal yesterday but both Monday and Tuesday were fine. Not much to report other than the usual schedule of school, work, requirements, homework, sleep. I hope everyone is having a great week and staying on track! We are more than halfway through, keep up the great work! ~ Peyton

Today was picture day at school, so I woke up a little early because I also had to be there early. Other than that, school was pretty normal, and I didn't get too much homework, so that's good. Right after school, I went to taekwondo and helped with the classes before taking black belt class. Black belt class was really good; we worked on some poomsae and self defenses which really helped me recognize my mistakes and fix them. Anyway, I came home, and I have to get my presentation for my Spanish class ready to present tomorrow, so wish me luck! I hope everyone had an amazing day. Goodnight!

    Today calm day, I woke up, went to school before riding back to king Tiger to finish up my homework. I got class assistance and leadership credit done for the day. I then proceeded to go home and finish all my other black belt exercise which leads us here now I am eating ice cream and relaxing.

Hello everyone, today was another normal day, the only thing that made today different, was when me and my family went to see a friend of ours at a retirement home. It was really nice to see him again because I hadn't seen him in a while, after going to see him, me and my family went to our grandmas house and ate some dinner, it was very tasty. I hope all of you had wonderful days as well, see you all later.

School today was kind of packed with work, but that was fine because I got it all done, and was able to get some duel enrollment stuff done too. After I got home from school, I pretty much immediately went to the gym and was there for probably an hour and a half. I got 2 more miles done and finished all my exercises for the day, and I got some extra too. I didn't got to Taekwondo today because I was at the gym until class started and lost track of time, but I will be there tomorrow for sure. Anyway, goodnight!

Today at school was busy but I didn't take home any homework. When school was over, I was so exhausted, probably from a late night of schoolwork last night. I slowly completed all of my requirements for the day; I was planning to run today but not anymore. This evening was productive because I was able to review the takeaways at King Tiger all the way through 15. Those are very difficult to practice by yourself, especially the higher ones, so it was nice having a partner to practice with. I really hope I can get to bed sooner tonight so I can wake up energized tomorrow.

Hello, Today I woke up as always and went to school, today in band we put together our clarinets, trombones,flutes,and trumpets. Which was super fun by the way, After school I went home, ate, chilled for a bit before heading to taekwondo for  most of the 3 classes. During the time in between classes I worked with 1 of our new deputy black belts and helped him with bocho dan self defence. After classes I headed home and took a shower to clean up, I then did my workouts for the day. I just started to play a game with my dad. I hope everyone had a wonderful day!

Today I woke up and ate  breakfast. Then went to school. Then after school I went to soccer practice and did push up and ran a lot.Then I went home and did my homework then doing my journal for the day. My overall is a good day.

Today was my birthday, & I didn't hold a party, but I was able to celebrate with my family, with us going out, & cutting a cake, which was delicious by the way. So I did two days of physical requirements today, and I am going to try and do twice the amount each day to catch up.

Today was my first day of school and my teachers seemed nice. Not much work on the first day and met some old friends over all a good start to the school year.

Woke up ate breakfast and went to school. Had a good day. Went to King Tiger and did another day of white belt challenge and some requirements. I went home and did more requirements and homework. Ready for bed. 

Today I woke up early at 4 and talked to my parents and they told me I had some time before I had to start getting ready so I watched Netflix for an hour and then I ate and ran a mile. After my Mile I took a shower and got dressed. After I got dressed I took care of my hair and went downstairs to wait for my Dad. My Dad’s always there to drop me off with my Mom on the first day of school. I My first block was really boring but it was fun making new friends. My first friend was somebody I saw walking in. We had instant chemistry and we laughed when we looked at each other like we knew each other for years and we had inside jokes already,There was a girl who was in all of my classes but I forgot her name. I...

​Woke up and went to get my passport sorted out. My in-laws mentioned they want to take us overseas next year, so I need to get that good ol’ passport ready. That also reminded me that I need to get my Real ID taken care of soon, too. ​Right after that, we headed over to the Lincoln County Courthouse to file some paperwork. All in all, we spent a pretty good amount of money today. For lunch, we grabbed a sandwich from a small shop out in Lincolnton—it was delicious. ​Came home, completed some requirements, and did more research for the essays. After grabbing a quick snack of yogurt and granola, I went on a 4-mile run. It felt okay—wouldn't say it was great, but not terrible either. ​Took a shower, ate dinner, and then relaxed before bed. Cranked up all parts of the requirements today! We’ll see how I feel...

Woke up and got coffee and started getting ready to go to school during school I Talked to my counselor about my AP and College classes I’m gonna be taking next semester and being ready for college after that I went home and Took a nap then went to tae kwon do.

Today wasn’t great. I did get a lot done though. Requirements, classes, music, reading. The classes today were rough. Had some stressful teaching first, by the second class I didn’t feel well. My ankle was hurting and I was dizzy during forms. Got home though and it’s alright. Have to get up early for school, not looking forward to that at all. Gonna go to bed as early as I can. Goodnight guys.

today was digital detox day. I only used my phone for sending important texts, email, and journaling. in the morning i went to this deca event where we painted the hallway and i got community service hours for it. after i came home i was trynna figure out what to do so i built this small lego set. Then i read for a little bit and finished my requirements. I was chilling with my dog and just passing time by till my class. i got a leadership credit in and afterwards went on a 2.5 mile walk with my dog and parents. that’s it for today, first day of school tomorrow!! Goodnight!

24 Today is a monday, like always its very hard for me to wake up in the morning. I woke up at 5:30 to finish up a project and get ready for school. After school and I come back home, I was very tired so I went to take a nap. I used to think naps were so lame and boring when I was younger and my parents were taking some. I finally understood the meaning behind it, thanked my parents and said sorry for thinking that is wasn't smart. I actually enjoyed that nap so much, I overslept by about 24 minuites, making me late for finishing homework and practicing for the SAT. I finished it and went to tkd. After Tkd class, I finished my requirments and felt very tired and now heading to bed. The more and more I grow up, I feel more and more that going...

helloooo, had school today ugh but it wasnt that bad ig. helped out with class today and got a mentor session in. im starting to fall behind a little on class assitance since i missed a few class so i need to catch back up. anyways heading to sleep, goodnight!!

Today at school was not bad for a Monday. After school was drumline and then after that, I came home and knocked out my requirements. Later in the evening, I was able to go to King Tiger for leadership and a mentor session. My 540 kicks are really starting to look good, I just need to keep practicing so I can start landing them consistently. When I came home, I studied for a while because I have my first real quiz of the schoolyear in math. I hope all goes well tomorrow.

Today I was not very busy. I only had one class today which was math, and it was also after lunch so the whole morning I didn't have much to do since I finished all my homework. I worked on a puzzle that is in our classroom which I (and everyone else who was working on it) find particularly frustrating. Its a picture of a bunch of gummy worms and its only 350 pieces, but the thing is every piece looks so similar to at least a couple other pieces so its hard to find where they go. The best way to go about it is to just randomly put pieces together until they fit. After school I did my requirements and went to taekwondo and we did poomsaes and after I came home I went for a run which was painful because of my knee. 

Today I passed a test in Spanish. I also went to a Taekwondo class and got classes assistance right now I’m doing my exercises and then I’m about to go to bed.

Today was pretty boring at school, most of the work I needed to get done I got done at school, so I didn't have much to do. I went to classes today, and was able to get another mentee session done. I am just now realizing that out of everything I need to focus on right now, it's study guide, and probably my breaking kicks. Everything else is looking good. Anyway, it's late so goodnight!

Today I woke and ate breakfast. Then went to school . Then i had great news about he soccer which is i'm in the team. Then was happy for the whole day. Then went home and ate then went to tae kwon doe. Then went home and feeling like to sleep now.

    Today was a pretty chill day. I woke up, had some breakfast and went off to school turned in my work before going to King tiger and doing a mentor session with Jaden in amenity session with Master Sri. I also helped out with class.. After that I went home completed my homework and black belt exercises and here I am eating ice crea in my bed.

Today I actually don't remember much of what I did when I first woke up, I think I was going through my Playstation gallery or something but I had to catch-up on my missing requirements that I didn't do yesterday because I was sick. I took a little break for around 45 because I was so tired from just catching up from yesterday. I made the drums on this new beat I was making. It's a little weird but I was still feeling it kinda like the whole 808 heartbreaks album but obviously worse. Then I ran a mile at around 12 or 1 I don't remember. After that, washed up and I put on clothes and my Dad took me to the barbershop. I was with a new barber and he did me right for only 35. He was Puerto Rican but I just thought he was lightskined because everybody else...

Today was pretty easy. School was normal; I took notes in most of my classes, but in seminar I had a presentation, which was kind of scary, but my teacher said I did really well. When I got home, I realized I wasn't gonna be able to go to TKD because I had to put together a one-pager for the club fair on Wednesday, and I had to have it done by tomorrow. Anyway, I finished that up, and I went on a 2-mile walk and completed my requirements. I hope everyone had an amazing day. Goodnight!

Hey everybody, today was a pretty good day for me, just the normal stuff, woke up and went to school and did my classes, saw my friends, the usual stuff. After, school I worked on homework, after that me and my brother went to TKD, it was good because I got a refresher on some color belt poomsaes. Then I went home and ate dinner with my family, I hope everyone had an awesome day, see you later.

I had my 6-month checkup with my Oncologist today and he was very pleased with the results.  It's always good news when your doctor's happy with you. I was able to complete my 9th essay today.  Only one more to go (Community Service).  Speaking of which, I was able to get some clarification today for Master Chelley about the donation of items.   We had a good Senior Belt practice tonight.  I think the candidates for the next couple of Black Belt cycles will be prepared for the non-paperwork parts of the test (poomsae & self defense).  Updating their requirements on a daily basis might be the more challenging part of the cycle for some of them.  Master Foster is about to pull his hair out trying to stay on them about that.

Today I woke up and went to school, and we have a test in reading tomorrow, so I am ready for that, and we had test today in math, on which I got 100, but it was also kind of stressful. Then when going home on the bus today, we got assigned seats. Then my tennis class got canceled, so I went to help out with the junior tigers, and the took class after that.

Today I went to the black belt weekday class, where we reviewed poems are for blue belts and up. I also started this week with a white belt for my requirements. Tommorow is also my birthday.😄

Woke up ate breakfast and went to school. School was pretty good. Got to King Tiger and did some requirements. I did the 4:45 class in my white belt for white belt challenge. When I got home I did more requirements and some homework. I will sleep good tonight.

I'm writing this during lunch!!! I'm pretty excited for the black belt class today. also to help our the junior tigers!

Today is my baby girl's brithday! CMS school begins tomorrow. My bus driver job will resume. Good workout yesterday with miles on the elyptical. Moved cubbies and picked up bus from the shop.  Made bulgogi for my wife.

​Today was pretty laid back. I woke up and knocked out my requirements for the day, then spent some time working on random projects around the house. Overall, it felt like a really productive weekend. ​I also got to hang out with my brother-in-law today. We grabbed dinner together before heading back home to relax and catch up for a bit. I spent a few hours researching my diet essay and the history of the Five Kwans. It's fascinating—and eye-opening—to see the data on sugar and just how tough it is on our bodies. ​Tomorrow, it’s time to step up the intensity as the daily requirements increase. I have a very busy day ahead, but I'm ready for it. Hope everyone has a great week!

today was pretty chill. i had sparring at 2 and we worked a lot on js counter attacking and using limited factors like only one kick, only front leg and stuff like that. All the people there are pro so it was quite a humbling experience. I do hope to reach their level someday and am definitely gonna keep going after cycle. After I was kinda chilling with my parents and dog. in the evening i baked so stuff js for fun and thats about it. today was my rest day but i did get stuff in from sparring class. I also have been procrastinating on my essays and other stuff and it’s not great since school is starting soon. not happy about that but i’ll js have to pull through. that’s all for today. goodnight!

hi guys, yesterday i forgot to journal but i took the sat and then went to my sisters dance recital and helped out a bunch there. today i mainly just finished a bunch of homework and i'm about to head asleep
