Testing Eve, Hopefully Helpful

Good luck to all who are testing tomorrow. I do not really have any additional advice to give because a lot was covered from Instructor Jen and Instructor Peyton's previous journals. One thing I will say is that during testing, worry about yourself before you help others. As long as you are doing what you need to do, everything should work out. Of course help out your piers during breaks. Having resilience is another big thing. Being able to bounce back from mistakes is key. Also, prepare to perform your best Tae Kwon Do; everything you do must be performed at 100 percent effort. Lastly, don't overthink, you have been training for 3 months for this, that will reflect your performance. Always keep this in mind, "A black belt is a white belt who never gave up."  I hope everyone does well tomorrow.
