Candidate Journals

Good morning. Yesterday was a good day. After school I came back home and finished most of my requirements. Then went to class to help Family class. I also got my mentee session done! Have a good day!

Up early for push-ups, sit ups and burpees.  Taking care of my journal entry now because I will not be home until around 10 PM tonight. Just works out better for me to head to class from work without coming home in between, so it’s going to be a long day.  Thank goodness for Master Dege!  She’s always just a text message away when I’m trying to sort out self-defense in my head and she never hesitates to help me!

I feel so swamped with homework and deadlines! I have a 4 page essay by Wednesday and an in class timed 53 minute essay for another class and my precalc test tomorrow, my upcoming cpcc deadlines aren’t helping either so I just feel really stressed but I’ll get through it. The weather was really nice today, a feel good, windows down, ride home from school was enough to wash most of my worries away for a bit.

Uh oh! Working on poomsaes tonight and oh chang was mushing into taebek. That is not good! Usually when this happens I start over and it's fine, but not tonight.I started over and got to mush at the same spot. Rather than making it worse, I decided to skip it. I'm sure it will be fine later. Maybe tomorrow.

Today was so tiring, I have a lot to do this week. I have a dance to attend and right after that, I have the Junior Instructors Camp to attend. I have a lot of quizzes, tests, and projects due this week. This week will definitely be tiring! 

It was a normal day....nothing exciting except the weather...70!  I did some  requirements at home...pushups, situps, and burpees. I went to family class and we did our poomsaes, stances, and we did some fun activities on the mat. I looked over my school work. Now it is time to get some rest.   

Today was Erik's 10th birthday and I think he had a really good day. He is still out of school because of a water leak. Hopefully he will go back to school soon. He got to sleep in so I didn't get to wish him happy birthday until I got home from work. We then did a video chat with his grandparents in Denmark and they watched him open the present they sent to him. After that we went to Melting Pot for dinner and we all ate too much. He says it was a good day and I think so too.

Today was meh. Nothing really happened, like nobody went to school because they were all tired from the Super Bowl I really didn’t have anything interesting happen today. No tests or quizzes no pop quizzes no nothing. Just boring 

Yesterday we watched the Super Bowl and I am very excited that the Chiefs won it. Today in my mentor session, we practiced the new self defenses and hapkito. I am really working on my stick form, I think I am getting better at it. I really need to work on my staff form. 

Today I turned 10! I am still out of school this week because of the water break. This morning I woke up and watched some TV and waited for my grandma to get ready to go to Ihop. After I took my birthday money and went to Target to get new Legos. When I got home there some packages in the mail with even more Legos! For dinner we went to my favorite place the Melting Pot for fondue. Cheese fondu is my favorite!

Enjoy the little things in life. Because one day you'll look back and realize they were the big things.????

I have officially completely paid for the Korea trip!  Now I just need to save up some spending money!  Today was a typical Monday at work, very busy.  I'm home now and about to get started on requirements.  I'm starting to get nervous about testing in front of Grandmaster Lee and his Korean colleagues who are so high up in the ranks at Kukkiwon.  I'm scared my mind will go blank and I'll just freeze.  I actually did go blank when I performed my creative form at the public exam when I tested for 4th Dan.  I just kept moving my staff until the music stopped.  I even looked at Master Chelley at one point and did jazz hands.  Not my best moment.  Thank goodness she laughed.  It was very obvious that I was not doing the same form I had done for the Masters during the private exam.  

Today was a good day. First I had school as usual. It was a very nice day today so I was able to walk 3.6 miles outside. Crazy weather!!!! 3 days ago it was snowing!!! And now its 70 outside!!!!!!! Then I finished the rest of my requirements. Right now I am having dinner. Hope you had a good day. BYE!!!!!!!!!!

Today was another day on the cycle and school. I went to school received homework from my teacher and came home. When I got home I ate pizza then did my homework. After my homework I did my requirements then ate a snack. That’s it I guess.

Today was awesome. I got to sleep in and when I woke up we had donuts for breakfast. After that I made brownies. I ran 2 miles this afternoon and then spent the next two hours doing requirements. All was god and I even got my nails painted. Now I’m at tkd and I’m about the take class!

Hey guys! Today I was so tired at school, because I stayed up late watching the Super Bowl last night. I’m going to TKD to get credits and a mentee session in. Welp that’s it. Hope everyone had a good day! 

Dear John    I know you have been running hard with the gym move and 9 Rounds and so many more things on your plate with permits and environmental work, good to see you are doing a recovery day. Six miles yesterday took it out of you did it not. Well rest and get back at it tomorrow.   John 

alright, updates on the weekend - i have the day off today because of a teacher workday, which works out great because yesterday was the superbowl. me and a friend had a bet before the game. i chose the 49ers and they chose the chiefs, and everything was working out great until the fourth quarter of the game. we didn't bet anything except maybe bragging rights so it's okay. if we did bet $ i know for a fact neither of us would pay. community service was good, but woah, was that a LOT of canned food. bbc and sparring was fine, my sunday other than the superbowl went relatively good, and we are back to monday. i have been slacking on journaling/tracking on the website but that's going to stop today. see you guys tomorrow and good day to all

Had a successful and fun Parents Night Out Friday evening.  Saturday I really enjoyed the Community Service Project.  It was a ton of back and forth, up & down, and around!  Got in tons and tons of steps, I'm sure.  I like to stay busy, so it was perfect for me.  It was also going towards a great cause, so win-win.  Sunday consisted of playing at the dojang with my son early in the morning, a couple of grocery trips, and the Super Bowl.  It was a fantastic game!  I'm glad I was pulling for the Chiefs!  Sunday was another rest day.  No requirements, just a day to reset.  I will hit it super hard on a beautiful, sunny day like today!

Let's get this party started! Here we go, last full month of the cycle and I am ready to take it on. Feels like I've been on the cycle forever but it's only been a month and a half. This morning I didn't make it to the gym so running with the dogs in the neighborhood is on tap. I have seemed to misplaced my blackbelt book but im sure i'll find it soon enough. I am happy to report that I have lost 10lbs since I've been doing this. Not as much as I'd hoped but I plan on kicking it up a notch this month, especially with the running so I expect to see better results. Im not 1 to check the scale every day or every week. I usually hop on once every 3 weeks or so. Let's do this!

Good morning. Yesterday I ran 2 miles with my brother before Super Bowl. Then I watched for a little and then went to bed at half time. This morning I woke up and my dad told that the Chiefs won. Waiting at the bus stop for my bus. Have a good day! 

Yesterday I went to church and received my first Bible.  Then my family went to help at a local animal rescue. We foster with them.  I got to see a ton of puppies!  Last night I went to a super bowl party!  Today I have off from school again so my mom is taking me skiing.  Trying to find time to fit in my requirements.

Today was really fun, I slept in (It’s already a good day), met up with some friends with lunch, and got to hang out with my brother back from college for the weekend. Unfortunately my day ended with a massive homework spree that left my hand cramped and my brain fried.

Today was a good day and we celebrated Erik's birthday with his maternal grandparents who both came up from Spartanburg. We had awesome homemade cupcakes in the afternoon with some coffee, well the kids didn't have coffee mostly because they don't like it. Erik had requested ribs for dinner so he got his request.

Had a surprise visit from Jeremy today and this will really be the last for a while. It's not often anymore that he asks me to do something for him, but he asked me to sew a new patch on his uniform. So proud of him His 22nd birthday is tomorrow and those years have gone by way too fast. Not quite as fast as this cycle is going though. Went to a funeral for Pat's father and was reminded how important it is to not put things off to tomorrow because tomorrow is not a guarantee. It was so nice outside that I came home and took Monty for a walk. More self defense and poomsaes to practice tonight. Until next time.

Today was a great day. In the morning I did my home work. Then I had lunch. After lunch I did my requirement and worked one my written test. Then I had dinner. Right now I am watching the superbowl. Chiefs or 49ers!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was a beautiful day today!  Took a 2 mile walk and worked on Poomsaes.  Ended the day getting all my self defenses jumbled.  Again.  I think I might be thinking about it too much.  Now I’m watching the Super Bowl even though I vowed never to watch football again after Luke Kuechly retired.

Tomorrow is my birthday and we celebrated all weekend. My best friend spent the night last night and we hung out and played video games. Today my grandparents came over and my mom made the best chocolate cupcakes ever. We played a new game I got called Throw Throw Burrito. It is really fun. Yesterday we went to the community service and got done early so we are going to do another project with my mom. 

Sometimes the bad things that happen in our lives,  put us directly on the path to the best things that will ever happen to us. O and there I a big football game on tonight. 

Good Day. Yesterday was a good day. I went to the Community service with my brother. We went at 10.45am and saw Master Knight next to us in the parking lot. We went in and waited for Master Chelley. We put the cans in the boxes and there was lot of stuff to be done. We were glad that we could do a lot. Then i came back and had my lunch. My brother and I ran while my parents walked. we did a 2 miles run. Today is Super Bowl. Have a good day!

Dear John  I hear you missed the community service project, not good, I know you have been busy with the new gym remodeling and equipment moving but you have to stop and get it done. So what that you are paying two rents and have to work until 10 pm and on weekends. It is just to much for even me to understand. I bet you will be sure glad it will be done soon.  Need  for you to stay focus but rest some so you do not burn out. It will be bad if that happens. I am sure you are going for a run on Sunday so do not kill yourself and enjoy the game this Sunday. It is your favorite day  Groundhog Day in PA is a blast. Everybody needs to see Punksatawny Phil someday.   Be safe out there   John 

Hey guys! Today is the Super Bowl!! Who are you guys going for?!?! I’m not really a big fan of football, so I don’t really know who I’m rooting for. We are also celebrating my brothers birthday today by inviting all of his friends to watch the Super Bowl with him. That’s honestly really it! Hope you had a good Sunday! Bye!! 

I really need to start doing these more often, so today is the Super Bowl Chiefs need to win, requirments are going well, yesterday was a long day because I had to do Sparring then BB class, then go to community service which was fun, but thats it bye.

Today started with Junior Tigers focus and teamwork, moved on to practicing self-defense with Master Tucker and then black belt class with plenty of kicking, rolls, falls, and poomsaes including Jameson forms and traditional basic form 1. Went to the afternoon shift of our community service project and sorted some canned food. There was quite a bit of waiting for the last group to bring their collected food, so I was able to work with Andrew and later with Vina on self-defense. Practice, practice, practice, and then practice some more. My nephew is visiting again. It's nice for him to visit, especially since my boys aren't home.

Today has been really good and productive, got a haircut and got my daily requirements done before helping out at the community service project which was nice. After that I had to meet up at my aunt and uncles house for the rest of the day and that was really fun! 

Today has been long but awesome. Helped in junior Tigers class, then helped in black belt class. Master Dege, Master Burkhart and I all took a section of the class and taught different things.  Then we went to help with the food drive for our community service project.  I had to come home and rest for a bit, but then I started working on requirements.  I have discovered that I need to say the belt level and the number of each self-defense out loud as I do them to help keep me focused on which belt level I’m actually doing.  Hopefully this will prevent them from swimming around in my head and getting all jumbled.

Today is a busy day.today at 9:00 we had our basketball pictures our team pictures and individual pictures then at 10:00 we had our basketball game and we won by one point 23-22.then we went to community service.then we went to my house for a few hours cause I did not feel good.Now I am doing this and going to pick up my dad from the airport.so bye ???? 

Today was a good day. In the morning I had sparring. After sparring I helped out family class. Then I did black belt class. I had the 1:00pm part for the community service project. Everyone for the morning part did mostly everything. All we got to do was carry banana boxes and sort a few cans. The rest we just sat there and talked. I am doing my requirements right now. We are going to eat outside today. I hope you had a great day. BYE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tonight I decided to take the night off from doing requirements, Instead I did some cooking and enjoy the time off.  My ankle and knee should be happy , rest time.

Today in black belt class we did our kicks, trained over some of the poomsaes and forms. Later on I went to my community service and helped stacked cans in the containers. I did not do as much as I wanted to do.  I went to dairy queen afterwards and took a rest. I still have some requirements to do later.

Hey guys! Today in the morning I went to TKD and took sparring and black belt class, I also was able to get a mentee session in. After I went straight to do community service, I’m upset that there was barely anything to do. It’s my brothers birthday today, so we are going out to eat for dinner. Hope everyone had a good day! Bye!

1 month in the books!! Goals for February. Increasing running to 4-5 days a week. Jump Rope everyday. I want to be more consistent with these two requirements. Great Black Belt Class today. I liked working on falls and feel like all my falls are improving. Working this afternoon so looking forward to a nice run tomorrow.

I can't believe it is February already. January was a blur, but I should have expected that. Work started crazy in the new year and has not slowed down yet. I am working seven days a week now at 10-12 hours a day just to keep up. Travel has diminished, but I expect to have a couple of trips in the Feb/March timeframe. The new house is going great, and the workout room we have set up is perfect. I will post some pics soon. I hope to see you in class this upcoming week.

This has been a really long week! I finally moved into my new house on Wednesday and we have been getting the house set up. My room is big. The dogs really like the house. Today I have go go to my community service day, I hope it is going to be fun. 

Today I got up early and did my requirements before sparring class because we are going to South Carolina for my sister’s volleyball tournament.  I also met with my mentor.  Not excited about the car ride today.

Good Morning. Yesterday was a good day. Came home from school and went to BB Class. We came back home and I had dinner and I was so tired that I went to bed. This morning I woke up early to get my stuff done. Will be leaving for the Community Service in a hour or so. Have a good day!

Friday is always a good day. A lot of people work from home on Fridays which means the office is almost empty. That is often good for productivity. I left a little early today and got home and worked on my requirements. I also got some practice in on my guitar, I enjoy practicing so much it makes me wonder why I didn't get started before now. Ohh well, better late than never. :-) Dinner was family pizza night and we watched Spider-Man: Far From Home.

The last day of January was okay. I just finished my project. I am excited for tomorrow, the community service.

Today was a normal school day and I'm glad its Friday. Kickboxing was fun but tiring and I did some requirements. 

Today was good, Friday’s are always good if you ask me... I had the first half of my stats test today and a quiz in chem which I thought both went really well but other than that it was a pretty normal day. I’m really excited that the kick boxing classes are starting back up and I had fun attending that alongside blackbelt class today.

I like Fridays, good day at work. Black belt class. Got to spend and hour with a good friend. Great ready for a busy Saturday!

I like Fridays, good day at work. Black belt class. Got to spend and hour with a good friend. Great ready for a busy Saturday!

hey guys! im so glad that it's finally the weekend!!! I didn't have any homework so I was able to knock out my requirements once I got back home. I went to TKD today and got some credits and a mentor session in. Hope everyone had a good Friday! bye!!

Let it snow,let it snow,  let it snow. Well ok it only snow for about 15 min or so today. No need to buy   Bread or milk.

Today I went to master Shellys school for black belt class. It was really fun. I got a ton of credits and I also got a leadership 2. 

Today was was a pretty normal day, despite the fact that it was Multicultural Day.The reason why I'm not very excited for that is I have to wear a costume to school. But at school it snowed today! That was the only good thing that happened at school. When I got home I ate and did my requirements since i didn't have any homework. After that I went to go write this journal. Later I'm planning on eating diner and reading.

Today I was planning to go to the lake Norman school for black belt class but it ended up we didn't go because my sister got home late. Its really doesn't matter right now because I got some extra time to get done with my work and to track. After this journal I'm going to just read, so have a good day to all!

Well… I just entered a journal entry and evidently it has disappeared... so here I go again. I am very excited that it’s Friday. This was a long week. Tonight I’m going to go eat dinner with my friend Beth and then hopefully get some requirements in.  Did 40 push-ups this morning but that was it. It’s raining and cold! Fortunately, I bought a furnace today and my house is warming up!

Today was a good day. First I had school. Right now I am working on my requirements. After requirements my mom says we might go out for dinner. Hope you have a great rest of your day. BYE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today has been a pretty good day so far.  Even though it is cold and rainy...not the most motivating weather.  Had a great long workout at the gym.  Getting set up for Parents Night Out at my dojang in just a bit.  Glow in the dark obstacle courses, indoor snowball fights, pizza, and a movie!  Fun times.  See everyone tomorrow for the community service project!

its free-day friday bc i am finally FREE from the clutches of school. today was good. we had a donut sale @ school so i got a doughnut for breakfast and then went to my first class. while i was walking to one of my other classes later in the day, it suddenly started snowing and as the day progressed it turned into a heavier snowfall so in the middle of class we all just rushed outside and started trying to catch snowflakes and throwing bits of snow at each other. it was fun but was cut short after 10 min bc the teacher yelled at us to get back inside or we would _(insert threat bc idr what she said)_. i'm home now and unfortunately has stopped snowing but it's okay bc i still had fun. have a great day everyone and i'll see ya mañana.

Another day off from school!  I’m going to urban air today.  I’m going to get some requirements and homework done before I go.  Looking forward to a fun day!

Good morning. Yesterday was looong. From school went straight to my classes and then from there to sparring. Master Marcus worked us out. I got a few sparring rounds in. Finally it’s weekend and Super Bowl!

Not ideal to be doing poomsaes at 11:20 pm. Where there is a will there is a way. On a brighter note kitchen is clean, got to sparring tonight and a mentor session. My mentor Jason is awesome. I love what he picks up on my poomsaes to fix and how he helps me with my self defense techniques. I think these sessions will make all the difference in my improvements.

I can't believe that the month is already over. But that was really quick. I did most of my requirements. I have 2 projects and I have a social issue awareness, thing that we are starting.

Seems like a long time since I drove home from work before dark. Tomorrow is the last day in January and work wise it seems like forever, but requirements wise it flew by. Is it just me? I do feel better about the taekwon forms, and believe it or not, even double stick forms, but there are other things that still seem so unfamiliar. Hopefully I will learn everything I need to know before testing. I do not like to feel unprepared.  Looking forward to our community service project this weekend.

I worked from home today and got some good work on my requirements. I went on a good long run around lunch time and that made me good and sore for red stripe week class. Still trying to work on the bolo form but I seem to have staff form 2 down finally.

hey, i haven't journalled in a week but i'm back and will be here tmrw and the day after that bc honestly i reaaaallly need to journal more. today was okay. school and tkd was normal. by now, i'm looking forward to going home from school on friday. i hope you guys had a good week so far and sleep well, goodnight 

Got home from Black Belt class at about 9:30 pm.  I was able to fit about 30 minutes of pushups, situps and burpees in, but I'm going to have to call it a night.  My furnace died of old age and I haven't had heat for the past 2 days.  I'm having a new furnace installed tomorrow for $3,500.00.  That's a very painful price.  I wasn't expecting it, but we never do expect those kinds of things.  We worked on Espada y Daga 1-4 in my Mentor session with Master Cavazos tonight, and Master Dege and I practiced our creative form.  Now I'm off to bed.  

Today in class I worked with Master Marcus for staff form and special self defense. We then did our sparring at the half end mark of class. I will study more for my test tomorrow and get some rest.

When someone helps you and they're struggling too, that's not help, THATS LOVE. ????

Today was a regular school day and a regular day on the cycle. I went to school and received 1 piece of homework. Vocabulary homework, it was really easy. Before I did my homework I went to piano class and King Tiger. I got leadership 1, a mentee session, and a black belt class in. Tomorrow is a big day so I’m gonna prepare myself for tomorrow.

Today was a good day. First I had school. I forgot to tell you that my dad is volunteering for camp thunderbird(3-day field trip)!!!!! And for AIG we are going to go to JA BisTown we found out are jobs today. I am the CEO of Albemarle foundation! P.S CEO = boss! After school I did some of my requirements. After doing requirements I went to sparring class. Lake Norman location. Lastly I had dinner. Right now I am going to bed. Hope you had a good day. BYE!!!!!!!!!!

It’s almost Friday, yay this week has been so long and I can’t wait to finally get to the weekend I have soccer practice and I can’t wait I’ve also been practicing all my drawing skills so now I can draw a perfect germ for Science class. (Don’t ask why it’s a germ) We also got to fill them out in the hallway today in the theme for a film with Stranger Things. It was so much fun

Today was kinda tiring but I really enjoyed sparring class. My school work is starting to get tougher as we begin EOG prep and enter new topics. I have to study a bit more on scatterplots just to make sure I'm using the calculator correctly. I've been doing well on my requirements and I almost have all of my leadership 2s done. Have a good night everyone!

Busy past few days! Getting the rest of the trades in, security and cable/internet installed, and the rest of my furniture came today! My house has everything, just have to put it all together. These next few days is going to be a whirlwind! I am very tired, but I'm still keeping up with my requirements amazingly enough! I'm not going super hard core but I'm getting enough done per day. Sparring later tonight and I'm excited. 1 of my students is coming! Should be a good class. 

Hey guys! I’m excited it’s almost the weekend yayayay!! I didn’t have much homework, so I was able to start on my requirements early. I’m going to TKD today to get come credits and classes in. Tomorrow at school we don’t have any tests or quizzes, meaning I don’t have to study for anything- yaya! Hope everyone is having a great Thursday so far! Bye!

I found out yesterday that my school is closed for a week!  That is awesome news!  I have plenty of time to get my requirements in today.  I am not sure of the plan today, but I’m sure it will be something fun!  I have soccer practice and black belt class tonight.

Good morning. Yesterday was a good day. I had PE and finished all my physical requirements in school. Went to class and got my leadership credits and also my mentee session. Today is going to be a crazy day with classes straight from school. Have a good day.

Well, I made it to yoga class after work tonight and boy did I need that! Yoga is in my building after work, so it's easy to go back to work if I have things to finish up. When I got back from yoga, I realized my boss was still there. I knew I have things to prepare for her meetings tomorrow and figured I'd work on them, but didn't expect her to still be there. I ended up bringing work home to finish, so not much time for requirements, especially since I need to be at the office earlier than usual. Unfortunately as well, the normal stress relief effects from yoga tonight are long gone. Don't wish to know what I'd feel like if I hadn't gone. Hopefully tomorrow will be a little more requirements friendly.

Well I didn’t meet my goal of journaling everyday in January which is a little disappointing. Other than that everything seems to be going well and on track. 3 more days and we will have 4 weeks in the books!!!

Well I didn’t meet my goal if Journaling everyday in January which is disappointing. Had a good visit with my mom and sisters. Flew back today. Nice to be home.

Great day at family class today. We trained with Jason on our poomsaes, blocks, and self defenses in class. I then went home to do my requirements. I did my homework and studied my notes for school.

Today was pretty tiring. Especially because my bus dropped me home 1 hour later. After I got home I had to go to dance class, I could only go to jazz class because I was very late for ballet ????. I got back from dance and took a shower then ate dinner and wrote this journal.

Today was a good day. First I had school. After school I did some of my requirements. Next I went to king tiger to do leadership and I also got with my mentee. Then I had dinner. I am going to bed. BYE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today was a good day. In the morning/afternoon I had school. Then in the evening I did my requirements. Then I went to king tiger. I was not able to do my journal yesterday(Its the 29th) because I got home a 9:30 and my bedtime is 9:00 and I had to get ready for school. So I am doing it today. BYE!!!!!!!!.

Had a good day , got a little  tired towards the end of the evening. Will go to bed early. 

I had the same day as yesterday requirements, school, helping at TKD, soccer, homework, now doing this, the going off to the pillow to catch some ZZZ ???? 

So instead of just adding another day, I will just "repeat" yesterday. Today was the same- school, homework, requirements. I was able to go to TKD and get some credits and a mentee session in. I just want Friday to come already- im ready for the weekend! Well, that's about it. Hope everyone had a good Wednesday!

Today I went to school and came back and got ready to go to king tiger tae kwan do. I wanted to get leadership two today but when I heard sawyer needed 1 more, I just gave it to him and said "tommrow i'll get it. Now I here stuck and doing nothing and most likely gonna die from boredom... 

Today at school we did multiplying fractions,and in reading we are doing geology and grammar.after I went to school I went to Tkd then I went to my turtoring and I did pretty good,then after that I went home to finish my requirements,watch TV,open my birthday presents,clean my room,try my new KOBE BRYANT jersey,and do my journal.BUT NOW I AM GETTING READY FOR BED SO BYE AND GOODNIGHT ????????.

Found all of the answers to the written test!  Out of 80 questions, i knew probably 60ish off the top of my head.  Definitely had to look up some of the tougher ones towards the end.  I love learning new things about TaeKwonDo!  I got in 2 mentor sessions already this week, and 2 mentee sessions.  I must say, my mentees are looking pretty good!  I am definitely looking forward to the community service this Saturday!

Worked, ate dinner, and now I'm working on self defense- Bo Cho Dan all the way up to special self defense # 4.  I'm going to do it over and over and over to make sure it sticks.  Pushups, situps and burpees after each belt level self defense and then I'll finish with a few rounds of sparring combinations and jump rope.  

I have two tests today which is difficult. Also, I have a math test tomorrow but I am studying very hard for it. I have a mentee session today and I plan on getting leadership 1 and 2. 

Good morning. Yesterday was a long day. From school went to classes and then went to sparring. Got in a lot of sparring and jump rope rounds. Master Marcus made us sweat a lot. I also did my mentor session. Have a good day!

Today I’m going on a field trip with my class.  We are going to the oldest house in Charlotte.  It’s a half day for me!  My mom is going on the field trip too so we get to leave after and go out to lunch.  Hoping to get some requirements done before school so I can have a break this afternoon!

Today felt like a Monday, but I was able to get out of work at a reasonable time to get over 3 miles and 130 burpees in before black belt class. I was able to get to the dojang early enough to go over self defense with Master Burkart before class up to green belt. After class, I worked with mentees on self-defense, staff form 2 and rolls and falls. Unfortunately, not many other requirements today for me and now it's time to sleep. Just realized it's been a few days since I added to the tracker, so will update that now. Goodnight all!

Today I woke up as usual go to school get tons of homework. But since today was Tuesday, I had Science Olympiad so I had to stay at school for another hour. Then when I got home I went to King Tiger to get leadership 1, black belt class, mentee, and mentor session. At the end of the day I had tacos for dinner and did my homework until 10:45 and now this!

Today, the school was pretty fun. It was a good start for the 2nd semester and 3rd quarter. In science, we are learning about the Human Body Systems. We are doing this fun Group project, where we all- the group members, choose one of the following areas to focus on.
