Candidate Journals

Hey guys! I decided to start reposting for my black belt test coming up March 27th, 2026. I am a little tired, so I did some practice and that was it. Good luck on the written test, March 14th, 2026 everyone!

For some reason, my journal yesterday didn’t save, but it’s no big deal. I started the white belt challenge today, and it was much better than I thought it would be. I also got a mentee session in which was convenient 

Almost done with these journals. Woke up today and was very appreciative that it is spring break week and I don’t have school for the next week. Today I went outside and ran, worked on a couple things at my house, and went to taekwondo where I had a mentor session, and also I finished my mentee sessions last week which is good. 

Didn't have anything going on today besides classes in the evening. Did some of my requirements outside in the backyard since its not raining anymore and the ground is dried up. I like practicing outside instead of inside. We had smaller classes since its spring break for a lot of our students and their out of town. Also, focusing a lot on helping the candidates as their testing is coming up and I want each of them to do well. 

Since last week was the end of the third quarter at school, my school gave us a long weekend. And because I did not have school today, I went to the FeedNC food bank in Mooresville. I helped out in the warehouse for a couple hours sorting foods and categorizing them by dates. When I got home, I mowed the lawn; it is becoming that season where mowing the grass will become a weekly chore. Unfortunately that also means that it will soon become the time of year where allergies will start acting up. Later in the day, I knocked out all of my requirements. Hopefully my teachers will take it easy tomorrow to kick off the fourth quarter.

Not much to say today hopefully everyone is doing well.

My day was good I had school there wasnt much work becuase its the end of the quarter but when i got home i studying some taekwando then i went there to help out a class then after i got food from chipolte. 

I had a good workout this morning and did lots of situps, which felt great. We finally got some rain today, and I was actually pretty thankful for it because it washed away most of the formula I spilled in the driveway. I’m also getting more comfortable with Chonkwon, which feels like steady progress. Classes went really well today, though the sizes have been unusual. It seems like people’s schedules are shifting, so class times might be changing for a lot of them.

Today was a good day. It was hot today and we spent most of the day relaxing at the resort and we went swimming after we ate. We shorten our vacation because I need to get back and finish preparing for my Black Belt exam and fitness test. Tomorrow we will be traveling back to Charlotte and I will be back in class on Wednesday.

Today was a good day. It was nice having monday off since our school has begun spring break. I feel like im able to focus and study more which is nice since the written test is this week. I studied and worked on forms for a while. After I went to concord and went to the cat café and walked around. I then went to the teen class from 6:40-:7:25 where I was able to get a mentee session in beforehand.

today was a chill day. I played my VR with my friends.  today was a good day. I had drama for my elective and we presented to the class

Today was a pretty tiring Monday, mostly because of the time change. School went by quickly, especially since Social Studies was async. After that, I spent most of my time finishing my requirements, practicing, and cleaning out the closet for a bit. Then I got ready for TKD. Since it was PMAA belt testing today, we had that — and honestly, we did really well. Good job, guys! After that, I started my white‑belt challenge. I helped out in the Senior Tiger class, which was mostly red‑stripe activities and a few single‑stick strikes. Then I had a mentee session with Amelia. We worked on her lower‑belt forms and moved on to her regular forms, and I started teaching her hop‑step kicks. I also had a mentor session with Master Weeks after PMAA, where we worked on my Hapkido forms. When I got home, I changed quickly so my parents and I...

Today is Monday I had schoolWe honored A staff memberAfter he passed away on FridayAnd we came homeI did a workoutGreat workbookTook a showerDenmore workbook finished in essayAnd did I already.

The past 3 days, I have been in LAS VEGAS for Spring Break. It has been a blast and I am having so much fun exploring this cool place. I am not leaving until the 11th, but I am not going straight home. I will be going to a family friend's home also, which is out of NC. The hotel I am staying at right now is kind of crazy. It is all Paris, France themed, so it looks really good. The past 3 days, I ate some really good and new food like Raising Cane's, saw awesome stuff like cool casinos, (not for long!), and large building and colorful stuff. Today, I ate at a really good indian restaurant, went to the pool, explored more of the strip of Las Vegas, and later today, I am going to ride what I think is the tallest ferris wheel in the US,...

After a long hard day yesterday, I am back in North Carolina and I’m so happy to be back. Looking forward to working out tonight and seeing all my taekwondo friends tomorrow.

I am Done with my sae project I made a better pull up bar it took 10 hours.

Today I spent the day at the Kennedy Space Center with my grandparents. I explored the history of space travel and had the opportunity to different rockets it took to make space travel possible. After that we went to the outlet mall, and my grandparents brought me some shorts for school.    

Today was a normal Sunday… uhh with the time change/daylight saving time, the whole day felt like it went by super fast. I woke up and went out for a run/walk, then came back home and knocked out my requirements. After a few hours of working, studying, and reviewing stuff, my parents and I went grocery shopping. When we got back, I spent most of the time helping unload everything and get things put away, and then helped make dinner.   After that I practiced for a bit, and I also ended up downloading Atomic Habits in an mp3 format and saving it to my mp3 player so I can listen to it whenever I want instead of in one long sitting. Overall, it was a nice weekend. Feeling ready for the week and for the upcoming PMAA belt testing. Good luck to anyone taking that test!   Hope everyone’s doing well, and...

Nice day today. After I finished my SAT tutoring classes, it was still incredibly bright outside. It was nice to look at after every other day was super dark.

Today was tiring. I had a project for science so I did my requirements early and worked on it basically the whole day. It’s on the human body. After I finished I had dinner and I’m about to sleep.

The time change is irritating. I liked it when the sun started coming up earlier and now it's back to darkness in the morning. It slows me down at work but that is okay, it's not really that bad.

Welp I’m back again. I guess it didn’t save 4 journals so I have to do more. A lot happened since the last journal, such as instructors camp, bunch of classes, school, and the test is coming up. This week is spring break though thankfully. Today I been outside a lot as it isn’t to hot or cold. I also went to the gym and played basketball and ran. I gotta get a haircut though soon for summer , so that’s going to happen.

 Today was a chill day.  I played with my friends and studied for the test.  I made cookies and did my requirements. 

Poomsae class was very small today, probably because of the time change. Even so, I got a lot of productive work in and felt more comfortable with Chonkwon, which felt like real progress. Later we went to the Hartles so Olive could spend some time with Grammie. Olive is getting so close to laughing, and it’s really exciting watching her get closer to those next milestones. I’m really looking forward to what comes next for her.

Today was a good day. I woke up today and made a egg in a basket which was good. After I did all my physical requirements relatively early into the day as well as running 1 mile. I then went to the movies and saw hoppers which was decent. After I studied Taekwondo for a while.

Today was an ok day. I woke up and watched cricket on TV this morning and that technically took up the whole morning. My team win though so I was happy. The rest of the day was about filling in the requirements I need to do because I was sick last week. So I had to catchup today, while doing a lot of science homework. 

I'm going to Korea with King Tiger this October and I'm so excited. I asked Master Natasya to help me learn some basic Korean so that I was completely unprepared in a new country. So the last 5-10 minutes on Mondays, Fridays, and Sundays she has been teaching me. I know how to pronounce, write, and read the vowels, y sounds, w sounds, and 6 consonants so far!! She said next time we will start putting letters together and make words! I love learning new languages, I think it is super fun and I feel really proud of what I have learned so far. Thank you Master Natasya! Overall a good day, poomsae class was very small (just 3 of us), came home and alternated between homework and requirements. I hope everyone had a great weekend! ~ Peyton

Today is Sunday I woke up went kayaking and eat lunch in South Carolina I came home finished 2 esseys played mincraft and di a long workout.

Today was a normal Saturday. I woke up and went to TKD for Weekend BBC — we worked on multiple kicks and a few self‑defenses. Once I got home, I spent most of the time working on essays and studying for the test while my dad took the car for its yearly check. I helped my mom with her work and went outside for a light jog. When my dad came back, we ate dinner and then went out again for a walk. I did my requirements when we got home. While helping my parents, I somehow managed to drop a heavy fan on my foot… so now it’s bruised, lol. We were going to play badminton, but the weather and timing weren’t on our side. After that, I came home and went straight to bed. Overall normal day. Hope everyone’s doing well, and good luck with the rest of the...

What a day!!! I was supposed to be in Jersey until tonight but life has a way of throwing curveballs. I’m now home and get to handle emergency surgery recovery for my husband. While I didn’t get to do the things I wanted I did the things I needed. 

Pretty nice day today. In the morning I didn’t do much outside requirements and such, but in the evening I went out to get some ice cream and food. Ice cream was really good but it was super crowded. Now I’m home enjoying spring break

Lots of weapons in class today, excellent. I almost overslept, I never reset my alarm from meeting at the school for Instructors Camp. So my alarm went off at 3 am...very disorienting. And somehow I woke up at 7:30 with no alarm.... not typical of me. I need alarms 😄 After class, if to the gym with Joel, got some pull-up work in, my regular requirements in, miles on the treadmill and some stretching in. Also a session on the hydro bed.. 10 minutes can make such a difference after all of that. Tomorrow is poomsae class, tired thinking about it but it will be good. And I am two weeks in too my nutritional challenge...no sweets and no soda. Not easy, definitely a challenge. Have a great week and don't forget to study for your written test! 

Today was a good day. It was our first day in Orlando, FL. We arrived around 3:00 am this morning so we slept in late. When we got up, we walked around the resort and found the arcade room and I played some video games and I beat my grandfather in air hockey. We sent the rest of the day in Disney Springs, eating and shopping. When we got back to the hotel. My grandmother help me study for the Black Belt exam. Later we ordered pizza for dinner and watch a movie.

Had sparring, junior and senior tiger classes this morning. After that the rest of the day was to myself. At home we took off the pool cover since the weather has been warm. It only took like an hour and afterwards we had to clean out the leaves and things at the bottom. 

Toady I woke up and went to taekwondo. After taekwondo I got home and did some homework. After that I ran errands with my sister and did requirements after. After that I played for a bit and ate dinner after dinner watched a movie and I’m about to sleep.

Today was a good day. Was able to chill at home a lot today and play the game with my friends.  I did black belt class and studied for the test. 

Today was good. We slept in, which felt great! We had some breakfast and then played out side. The weather was great, strangely warm. Then we relaxed and worked on some stuff. I did the requirements and then we went out. We got boba, which was really good! Then we played out side some more and had dinner. Now we are watching some TV and relaxing. :)    

Today was pretty good. I woke up and went to class. This class was filled with weapons. That's all we did, weapons for the whole class. When I got home, I did all my requirements for the day. After that I went to the grocery store with my parents, good thing Costco exists. The rest of my day was pretty relaxed. I am looking forward to the rest of the weekend because I do not have school on Monday. Since I won't have school, I plan to go to the food bank and help out. At my school, we are required to have done 40 service hours a year and I am just about finished. Help at the food bank and the community service hosted by King Tiger will give me the last few hours I need to reach 40 hours. That's all for today, I hope everyone had a good Saturday.

For some reason, the weekend got here so slowly this week! BBC was fun for today, we did A LOT of weapons which was great because I don't practice those as much due to lack of space. I stayed for work and came home just before noon. I was dreading my run today so needed to get that over with, I ended up running 2.5 miles which I'm happy with. I ate some lunch and started the rest of my requirements. My parents are having a little date night so I'm at home with my dog, Bandit, working on homework and just relaxing. I also baked some brownies tonight! :) I hope everyone had a great Saturday! We are less than 3 weeks away from testing now, keep working hard everyone!! ~ Peyton

Today was a good day. I woke up and attended Saturday Black Belt Class. After class I came home and studied for the Taekwondo test. I then finished all my physical requirements and was able to run 2 miles. I then went to my cousins birthday party.

So happy it’s the weekend! Time to get started for the next cycle week and have a little fun. 2 more days until I’m back in NC and back to the grind. Happy exercising all!

The end of the cycle is in sight.  This is a very good thing because I have definitely hit the stage where I am questioning everything that I thought I knew and how I do the things that I thought I knew. So basically everything, all day. A good rest, some good work tomorrow and some runs in this weather will help me reset. Just know if you get frustrated or dispirited with your progress that everyone does. Have a good Saturday class!

Had to finish up an essay I had in English today, but I didn’t have much time to finish it because we had an early release. I was still able to finish it, but it’s not my best work. Black belt class was fun, but I need to fine tune my Happkido 4.

Today way fine we had a early release day got to sit wete we wanted In Math played basketball in gym but they called my bus the wrong number I am on 555 they called it 551 

I woke up at 5 am to do a review for my test today, and then I took it 5th period. I was exhausted but had a band audition after school. Then I went to KT for BBC and did warm ups at the front. 

These last three days, I have been so busy. This week at school was the end of the quarter, this means tests were everywhere and teachers were trying to cram lessons in to meet deadlines. Good thing I got ahead on my requirements so I could focus on school for the rest of the week. Today at class we had this cool self defense drill, I feel like it prioritized our muscle memory to have to turn around and remember which foot is supposed to be in front and then perform the self defense. After class, I went on a run, and by this time I was exhausted from everything that had been going on during the week. I was thinking to myself, "this week has really been testing my limits."  And that got me thinking, your . . . "limits" is just a metaphor used to describe what you have...

Toady was kinda awesome! We had a band field trip today for MPA. And guess what…. WE GOT A SUPERIOR!!!!! It’s the best rating you can get. After school I had dnd club and I tricked someone to give me their tavern. After dnd I went to TKD and took class. After class I had some dinner and now I’m about to sleep.

Today was a normal Friday, honestly. School went by pretty quickly, and once I got home I spent some time planting. I helped clean up a bit and then read, studied, and worked for most of the afternoon. When my dad got back from work, we had dinner together and went out for a light walk. After we got home, I finished my requirements and showed my parents all my kicks, self‑defense, and poomsaes. After that, I ended up reading even more, and now I’m calling it a day. Nothing too eventful; just a steady, productive Friday. Hope everyone’s doing well, and good luck with the rest of the cycle.   ⟭⟬ Lalitha Sree Damarla⁷

Today I finally almost got rid of my fever. It was good because I had a fever for the whole week and it felt nice to be better. I had something called a color run at school where people throw color powder at each other. It was fun. Then ai went to black belt class and then went home and just relaxed.

I haven't journaled in 3 days, but I'm back. I've been so busy with other stuff like baseball and school, but I've been getting space now. I can now finish my miles at baseball practice because we run there and some other requirements. School's been getting hard because the quarter was about to end, so teachers needed all their work ASAP. I've still been finishing my requirements for the day, but haven't been getting the time to log them. I am back on track today. I am really excited for tomorrow because I am going to Las Vegas. Then, we are going to Arizona and Seattle, so the total trip will be 7 days. I am really happy to take a small break, but I will still do my daily requirements for TKD. Tomorrow, my flight is in the morning, so I have to wake up early. It really is nice...

Today was a good day. I had a half day today at school into spring break which was nice. After I went out to eat with my dad. I then came home where I finished all my physical requirements, ran even though it was really hot, and worked on my poomsaes, stick, staff, and self defence. After I studied for the black belt test.

Today was a good day . I had to go to school and go to music and it was pretty fun learned about new instruments then did are reading test I got a 100 on it so that was great then we did math and we are almost done with the lesson. Then did ss then it was dismisal I got picked up around 3:20-ishh.And that was a  day BYEEE.

Today was a good day because we a move and I got out of school early for spring break. I'm traveling to Florida with my grandparents for spring break so I will not make to Black Belt class tonight and tomorrow morning. I will be studying for my Black Belt exam while traveling. 

It is so much easier to work out when you do not have the normal day to day.  I will miss this time in NJ because it allowed me to do so much more than I expected to do.  That being said, I am looking forward to getting back to the routines next week.

Last student of the day was the perfect way to end the day. He listened, needed some help, made corrections, tried hard, asked some questions.  And had fun.  Frustrating day in some respects but it ended well in a very positive manner and that is always such a blessing. Happy Friday tomorrow!

Today was normal i went to school and got finalized grades for the quarter of the year and also i had a math test as well today which was boring and when i got back from school i did homework and finished a science project.

Had our senior tiger testing tonight. I had to help with the ninja gym so I couldn't be there for the first one but I was able to help with the second one. That testing went great and the students came prepared. Afterward, the other instructors and I went out to eat dinner together. It has become a tradition that we do. After every senior tiger testing we go have dinner together.

It's been a good week except I've agitated an old shoulder injury.  Despite that I'm over production at work, more money, and I have been keeping up with my practice. 

My day was good i had school i had to work on a project with my friend. The when i went home i practices my staff form then i went to taekwando to help out a class.

Today was also not a great day. I woke again unpleasantly and have been doing so for a week. I am still tired from being my sick the whole week. I had to do sparring to get my credit, and it was hard, because I could barely breathe. But its fine. I atleast got a credit. Hope tomorrow is better. 

Today was a good day.  I practiced baseball with my dad.  Tomorrow is my school dance so no black belt class tomorrow.

I haven’t journaled in a while, but today was pretty good day. School was easy and I caught up on all my work in my first period which is really good, I then took a test in my Spanish class and it was pretty easy honestly. Then I got home and went on a really good run, and after that my friend stayed over to help me with my requirements. Finally I ended up going to help with testing which was fun, and that’s pretty much it for my day.

Today was a pretty good day. In Foods and Nutrition 1 I made flaming hot cheeto mozzarella sticks, deep fried oreos, and brownies which were all good except the mozzarella sticks they didnt turn out as good. After school I had drivers ED where I drove from 2:30-5:15. I then came home and changed into my uniform where I went to Taekwondo. At Taekwondo I was able to assist and lead warm ups as well as get a mentor session in after even though I dont technically need it just working on some stick stuff I was still unclear on. I then came home and finished all my physical requirements.

Today was simple . I had school and came back. After school I had to get my bottoms braces and my teeth hurt. I couldn’t go to taekwondo but I did do my requirements. After that I wanted the India qualifier to the t20 World Cup for cricket. I had some mac and cheese for dinner and I’m about to sleep.

Today is Thursday and I had school and taekwondo then came home ate dinner and went to bed.

The last 2 or 3 weeks of the cycle feel so good becuase everything is starting to go down and relax a little bit. You feel the relief of all the requirements finishing up and falling off your plate of "To Dos." I finished up my last sparring class today, tomorrow will be my last weekday BBC, I'm done with all my leadership credits, and mentor/mentee sessions. I'm on track or ahead on all of my requirements and school is tying up into a nice bow as well. I don't know about you guys, but 3rd quarter in school is always so tough and the most exhausting. I took my math test today, bio quiz tomorrow, Econ project due Tuesday, English presentation on Monday, Health test on Tuesday, band auditions for wind ensemble are submitted, and everything is doing swell for right now which feels so good! I hope everything is...

Today was normal, honestly — happy Friday Eve. School went by really quickly and nothing major happened. After that I finished my requirements and practiced for a while before going out for a run/walk. When I got back home, I reviewed my study guide real quick, finished my homework, and helped my mom with her work. Then I helped make lunch/dinner. My ankle’s improving, but my abdomen is still cramping on and off whenever I kick  After that I cleaned up the place, showered, and headed to taekwondo. We did more sparring drills, kicks, and other sparring‑week stuff. After class I had a mentor session with Master Weeks, and we worked on Single Stick Form 1, Staff Form 1, and my Hapkido forms (Huge thanks to Master Weeks and Instructor Antoine, especially for the Hapkidos.) When I got home, I brushed my teeth, watched some lower‑belt self‑defenses, listened to Atomic Habits,...

I went to school and practiced for my wind ensemble auditions. I also studied for my science test tomorrow. Now I'm going to go for sparring and class!

today was chill. me and my 2 other friends presented in drama. chill day

Happy Friday Eve all!  Been a great week of training and running but I miss the classes so much.  I had to get creative this with my weapons as I did not have them in NJ.  My Bo staff was an old rain stick, and my sticks were old Hawaiian instruments.  Sometimes you have to be able to work with what you have in front of you and get creative :)

Today was a busy day. School was fine but afterwards I had to meet with my mentee, go to sparring and black belt class as well as meet with my mentor after class. Went home and ate dinner and had a few minutes to play video games.

Went to school  watch a movie in ag and did a tornado drill and had 2 subes and went outside in gym and no  Taekwondo. 

Couldn’t get requirements done yesterday because I had people over for the whole day, but I tried to make that up today. I helped out the high belt class, which was smaller than usual today. I like helping out these classes it’s pretty fun

My day was very tiring i had a long day of school and in gym class i hit a new pr for squats 205lbs while fasting. Then later I did my homework and went to black belt class.

War huh good god. What is it good for? Absolutely nothing, nothing, say it again. That seems relevant for the day.

Started the day with a good workout. Kicked my butt but in a good and productive sort of way. Worked with several different belt levels today but white with black and high white have been on my dance card a lot. Lots of work on stances, today back stance was the stance of the day. Hope everyone has a good Thursday!

I woke up, did requirements, and then went to school. I practiced for my wind ensemble auditions. I practiced science olympiad and then I went home and studied for tests.

Today was a good day. I woke up and went to school which was tiring after a day off Tuesday. After that I went home and ran 3 miles although it was pretty hot out today. After I went to Taekwondo where I mentored someone before sparring then attended sparring and BBC.

Today was a good day.  I had a math quiz and I think I did good on it. I assisted with a class, did black belt class, mentor session, and sparring. 

Today was a normal Wednesday, honestly. Since Wednesdays are async, I had more time to get my work done. After finishing that, I had an eye appointment — it went well, and I guess I still need glasses for screens, lol. After that, my mom and I walked for a while and got around 2.5 miles in. When we got home, I randomly fell asleep for some reason. I had my Math 1 small groups today too, which was actually pretty fun. Once I woke up, I practiced a bit before showering and walking to taekwondo. I got there early for a mentor session with Master Weeks. We spent most of the time working on our double‑stick sinawalis and Bo‑Cho self‑defenses. After that, I helped with the Senior Tigers class — we did sparring drills since it’s sparring week. Then I helped with Junior Tigers, but had to stop halfway because...

Today was simple. We had a field trip in school today so I missed my running. After school I had to do my running but I couldn’t go to taekwondo because my sister and mom were at work and they took the cars out. After I did my requirements I watched a show and ate dinner and now I’m going to bed.

Today was not that good. I was tired the whole day and had cold, cough and shivering. My eyes were paining and I didn’t want to sleep, but it felt good when I did. Weird. And school was also to much work because my whole body was tired, and I didn’t want to do anything. I was also trying to do my requirements but every time I did a move I my eyes would hurt for some reason. This is the worst feeling. Hope tomorrow is better and I can go to sparring 

I am missing my routine of working and then going to Taekwondo class.  I can't wait to come back home and pick up classes again.  Having routines is not only good for the mind but also for the soul.  Practice hard this week my fellow people on cycle!!

Today was a good day. I had fun at school even though we did a lot of math. I did my my white belt challenge in taekwondo class today and it felt weird being in the back. After class my grandfather grilled some hot dogs for dinner and we worked on my poomsaes.

My day was good i just had school i did good in it then i came home practiced some taekwando then I went to taekwando i mentored my friend and took class.

Today was a lot of fun. I had school off today so I got to sleep in which felt really good. I’m still recovering from Instructor’s camp. It’s crazy how one long day can throw you off so much. Then, I went on a run before my friend came over. Me and my friend hung out for a bit. Then, I went to run some fun errands with my mom. We went to Target and Old Navy. I got some cool new stuff. When we got home I ate a delicious dinner and relaxed for the rest of the night. I can’t believe the post-test is only in two weeks…We’re on the home stretch everyone! Keep it up! 

For ninja today I had a walk in for the first class and a kid trying it for the first time in the second class. They both did great and were already pretty athletic so they had no problem with the exercises and practice that I had them do. After ninja, I had to teach my class at the dojang which we mainly worked on curriculum review for testing which is on Wednesday and Thursday. 

Everything has been going well. I tired bud I sleep well.

Today I went to school and was tired the entire day. Then I went to taekwondo and got class assistance 

Yesterday, I knew it was absolutely a Monday but for some reason when I woke up this morning, I had it in my head that today was Wednesday. I had planned out my day in my mind and completely forgot about all of my activities today until I checked my calendar at lunch and realized I had a club this afternoon and Scout COH (Court of Honor which is basically an award ceremony) tonight. That just threw off my day lol but everything else was fine! I've been working pretty hard on an English project I have to present next week :( and trying to get ahead on requirements because we only have about 3.5 weeks left of cycle!! Woohoo, I'm so excited for this to be over! I don't know about anyone else who has been on cycle before but I like to plan to start finishing all my requirements...

Today was a better day than yesterday. I didn't have school today, so I just chilled at home and did other stuff. I finished my physical requirements earlier than usual today, so that was good. I also had one paper assignment from yesterday that I finished today, but it was kind of long. I had tryouts today for school in baseball, and I did really well. We did so much running and fielding stuff. I came home and couldn't check if I made the team because I had to go straight to Taekwondo, so I got changed and headed there. I got my leadership credit, which is what I need, and then just arrived home. I found out that I made the team for baseball, and I was really happy. 

Today was a good day. I had school off which was nice after a long day yesterday. I woke up and cooked a egg in a basketball as well as french toast. After I was able to run 3 miles and get all my physical requirements done before 12:00. I then studied for the Taekwondo test. After I went to assist the 6:15-7:00 class.

Today was a regular Tuesday, honestly. Since there was no school, I had more time to work and practice. I didn’t go to taekwondo, but I spent a good amount of time working on my essays. I studied for a bit and went out for a jog before doing my requirements. Not much really happened today — just a steady, quiet day, and I’m pretty tired. Hope everyone’s doing well, and good luck with the rest of the cycle. — ⟭⟬ Lalitha Sree Damarla⁷    

Today was quite a lowkey day. I did not have school today because juniors and seniors have ACT testing. Although no school was in session, I spent a lot of time studying because the end of the quarter is Friday and I have a quarter final for my math class and my AP Environmental Science class. preparing for those tests are going to take a lot of time out of my evenings this week. Knowing all of this I spent some extra time doing requirements to try and get ahead so I would not have to worry about requirements as much as I normally would. I hope everything goes according to my plan. - Lucas

Today was really good we had no school because of some government thing and i went skiing this weekend i had a lot of wipe outs and falls because it was my first time so it was rough and now im still sore which im glad had no school for a healing mentally and phyisically day

today was chill. I got to see my friends. we played a new game called cockroach. 4 out of 5 stars. would have done day again :) :) :) :)

I had to go to the eye dr over the weekend and they say I need glasses for some stuff, so not sure about that but think I found a pair I like. I got to go fishing with my dad so that was fun and looking forward to a weekend fun at the soccer game. 

OOF yesterday was a day.  Between working and working out I am taking care of my elderly mother, and it takes a toll on the mind.  Love my mom but I never want to grow old and have my kiddo deal with this.  The one thing that made me happy was I was working through Il and Yi Chong and my mom wanted to learn the arm movements.  While she didn't understand all the movements, she gave it a go and smiled and laughed the whole time.

Had to catch up a lot in school today, since I basically missed like 2 days worth of notes/assignments. When I got home I was super sleepy but I pushed on and got my requirements done. Surprised that we don’t have school tomorrow, but I’m not complaining!

Did anyone else know that it was going to be cold today?  When will I learn to check the weather on days I am going on a run? I didn't really notice quite how cool it was until I was already committed😂  At least I got a run in😁 My back was really tight yesterday but I walked several miles and really stretched it out last night. Today was so much better. The gym in the morning for a workout before work and a dojang full of CMS teacher workday kiddos. Hope you all have great Tuesday!
