Final journal of cycle 1......

I'm 12 weeks of 24 weeks in on my Master's journey. Yes, there was a time I wanted to give up, and it was early in the cycle. However, I put my big girl dobok pants on and kept going.

I know more now than I did 12 weeks ago. I'm going to continue my mentoring sessions do I'm ready in the spring.

I have 2 easier essays, and two more challenging essays left. I plan on getting my easier essays completed sooner rather than later.

Im also going g to continue to meetvwith my mentee.

To all those testing tonight.. work hard and impress your Master's! I'll see you tomorrow in Belmont.

Until the next cycle, this is LMP signing off.

When Covid the dojang did not survive. I have now been training at King Tiger , North Charlotte location, under Grand Master Evins since June of 2023. I am excited to start my Masters journey, but very nervous at the same time. I look forward to meeting the other candidates.
