Thank you Master Foster and Master Knight for a great class tonight. It was great to go to another King Tiger and work with others.
Today I worked in something that I’m not very knowledgeable about, insurance & benefits It was frustrating and I felt overwhelmed and I didn’t want to work on it. But I keep reading, and re-reading very slowly. I looked up videos and I called my dad for assistance. He also gave me some advice. That I can look into and make the best derision I can, but when I learn more, I can go back and change my decision next year.

Ive grown so much I forget that I let fear of the unknown gets me like that.

Today I made matcha tea for the first time. I'm excited to keep working on it and trying different recipes. I really want to work on enhancing my drink making skills (coffee, tea, etc.). While I was drinking it, I find a few videos on YouTube on how improve the flavor and different add-ons.

I worked on poomsaes using the Kukkiwon Youtube. I only review Il, Eh, and Sam.

Ms. Suzanne and I worked on hopkido 4 last Saturday with guidance from the Grandmaster Lees demo video and in person guidance from Instructor Jen. I didn't think I could learn hopkido from reviewing videos, but after watching hopkido 5 today, multiple times, I feel comfortable with the steps. I'll still need to practice it in person and with an instructor for technique, but at least I'm more familiar about it. Hopikdo it not my favorite thing to practice, so learning it can be a bit overwhelming.
