Candidate Journals

Today was not that good of a day, but it got better at the end. I went to school and then went to to black belt class. I messed up a lot on the hopkido forms, which I need to work on a lot. Then at the end of the day, I played soccer with my friends and did good. That lightened up my spirits a little. I really need to work on hopkido forms though. I messed up a lot on it. I’ve also been consistently tired the whole month so far, which is really troubling me. I’m randomly really tired throughout the whole day and it has been like this since the start of the month. Hope it gets better before testing, and I hope I know the hopkido forms by then.

I had fun today at school. We learned about new things, as usual, and reviewed other stuff, which was fine. I liked the videos we were watching in Health, and I liked what we did in Spanish. After school, I walked to baseball practice, where I did some Infield Work and hit. Monday will be my first game, so I am excited about it, and I think I will be pitching too. I couldn't make it to the Black Belt Weekend class, which was a little sad. Now I have to go to another dojang to make it up, but that should be fun. I've been just relaxing for a bit because I just came back from Baseball, but then I went to go do my physical requirements. Almost a week more, and we have testing!!

It was an absolutely beautiful day at the park today. Good for the soul. The CMS kiddos had the day off and after lunch we headed to the park for several hours.  Nice reset after what feels like the week that won't end. The end is near! One last week!

I can't believe in 1 week I will be testing for my first don, this has been a crazy great journey but also so fulfilling.  In celebration of the last week, I took the day off work and decided to have fun with Cenzo because who doesn't need a little fun in life :)

Today was ok but the best part about it is that its the last day of Rammadan and tonight and tomorrow marks Eid a very important holiday. 

I had work in the afternoon and evening today. On Thursdays I always go to Sabor to eat after I'm done with my afternoon and pick it up on the way home. From then I had a couple hours before heading out for the ninja gym. We had regular classes tonight so nothing different about my schedule. 

I woke up super early to prepare for my math test today. After school I went to sparring class and had a nice time, after me and my parents went to Chipotle. Then I studied for regionals this weekend. 

It was a ok day we did benchmarks for 3 hours and we played games the Whole time after 

Today was just a normal day i went to school which was boring but im excited for tomorrow because im going to a roller staking place field trip.

Today was decent. I went to school as usual and then did three taekwondo classes, I also squished in a mentor and mentor session today, so that’s good. I also had to stay up and do my science homework.  There is nothing much that happened today. Pretty plain if you ask me. Need to work on stuff. Testing is in a week!

Today was a good day ran two miles helped out in class and did a mentee session i tried a strawberry cheesecake milkshake from cook out gets a solid 7 out of 10 im excited to go to Harrisburg tomorrow also today was the last of fasting so yay anyways peace

I'm writing another journal entry because the website says I am not done but I am. I just want this to be the last one. At soccer practice tonight, I scored a goal. I wonder what I will do at school tomorrow.  

today was chill and I played some video games. I watched some March Madness on my school computer. :) 

I feel bad. I hurt my sparing parent today. I usually have better control than that and that is disappointing to say the least.

Today was normal. After school I came home and went to taekwondo. I helped with class and had a mentor session. After taekwondo I came home and had dinner. I’m about to sleep bye.

Today was pretty good. School was just fine. My chemistry class was pretty cool today, we did some labs that explored the gas laws. After school, we had the first drumline practice in 2026. It was a lot of fun getting back together and shaking off the rust. It really stinks that my school has completely dissolved the band program. I really have enjoyed that class for the past 4 years but this year and the years coming, the school has decided to discontinue the band program. Luckily they are still keeping drumline which is a student led club, led by me. After school, I jumped into the requirements like usual. Once I finished up, I played chess for a while. That raps up my day.

Today was a big day. I had my actual retest, and it went well. I felt prepared, and once I finished, I stayed for a bit to help out around the dojang. After that, I assisted with the Senior Tiger class and led kicks. We also worked on technical stand‑ups and a few other drills. Later, I spent some time helping one of my mentees review her material. Since she’s from another TKD school, we’ve been going over everything from the basics up to her rank. We practiced for a while after class until her mom arrived. Once I got home, I changed, ate, and started getting ready to write this journal. It’s been a long day, but a good one overall. I’m glad the retest is done, and I’m hoping the rest of the cycle goes smoothly for everyone. Hope everyone’s doing well, and good luck with the rest of...

Today was a good day. In Food and Nutrition 1 I made the dough for the pretzel bites which we will make tomorrow. After school I went home and finished all my physical requirements. I then went to DQ and got a free cone then went to Taekwondo to assist the 6:15 class.

Today is Thursday I went to school, I did a math quiz I felt really good about it too, Then I finished the school day, Studied for Taekwondo went to the Thursday class retook my test and helped out with class.

A great day...although school was a little rough. I am in band and we are going to MPA next Wednesday which is like an event where judges score us 1-5. 1 is the best and 5 is the worst and we had combined band practice today which sounded absolutely atrocious but at least we played all the way through. :/ Anyways, beautiful day outside for running so I got 3 miles in and I only have about 3 left for the cycle!!! Lots of work on other requirements as well, doing the minimum or even extra so I can get done early! I hope everyone is having a great week! ~ Peyton

Today was a good day!  Made it yesterday and today so far without crying for no reason.  Looking forward to class tonight and my mentor session with the best mentor in the world :) Here's to working out, running, and doing hard things.

Today was a good day ran two miles.  this week we've been working on tactical stand ups different forms and we worked on our falling too plus blocking from outside 90 also tomorrow is the last day of ramadan and then eid is on friday so happy early eid everyone anyways peace

I didn't have anything going on today. Just had work and helping out with classes in the evening. I got to teach the first junior tigers class and my brother got to teach the second one. After classes worked with Sid and Brayden on their weapons forms making sure they've got it. After that I was done for the day and head on home.

My day was good I ddint do much but practised taekwando and take black belt class.

Had a good workout and ate some good sushi. That's a pretty good evening in my book.

Today is the start of quarter four, and I have art! I'm really good, and i'm the best inmy class, I think I can get at least a 95 in this class

I got new seats in every class except ss and I am reading a new book and we did a lab.

Today was a good day..  I made a 20 out of 20 on my math vocabulary test.  Today was my last sparring requirement so now all of my class requirements are done. 

Toady was normal. I went to school and when I got home had a snack. After that I did requirements and went to taekwondo. After class I had a mentor session and worked on anu isa. After I got home I had some diner and I’m about to sleep.

Today was a good day. I went to school which was pretty tiring. After I went to the green way where I ran my last 2 miles. I then went to the gym and finished all of my physical requirements for the day. After I attended sparring class and BBC.

Today was pretty good. School was pretty normal. When I got home, I got to the requirements. I ran my final 4 miles today, super exited about that; my legs have been struggling for these past couple of runs. Later in the evening I studied pretty hard for school. I learned something pretty interesting today. Since I will be needing to get a fruit tree, I was thinking of the possible trees that could survive in the conditions we have in North Carolina. I was going through the trees in my head and I stumbled across the banana tree. Technically a banana grows on a herbaceous plant, not a tree. Because of this, a banana is considered a berry under the fruit category . I guess that means no banana . . . plant?

Today was good. I had in‑person testing again, and today was ELA. As soon as I finished, I pulled out the Instructor’s Camp book Master Weeks gave me, along with the study guide I made and my notebook, and I studied. I had to wait for everyone else to finish, so even though I was done early, I stayed there working on homework and reviewing until about 10:30. Once I was dismissed, I went home and ate lunch. I took a nap afterward, then woke up and did my requirements before getting ready for TKD. I had a few questions about the retest, and I got those clarified. After that, I helped out with the Senior Tigers and led kicks. We worked on technical stand‑ups, blocks, back falls, and a few other drills. Then I had a quick mentee session before sparring. In sparring, we did a few drills and finished...

Today was just a normal day i woke up early for school and had a new project assigned in science and i gym we just went over rules because we just switched into new encore classes so it was boring and after school i went to taekwondo and helped with a class

Today was a pretty decent day. I played pickleball in school today. After that I went to swimming and then did sparring. I also worked on my whole curriculum for taekwondo today at home. I was tired the whole day for some reason though.

As we are getting closer and closer to the end, it has been so relieving and satisfying to see the numbers of requirements left decrease. I will be done with a lot of stuff by this weekend and I am so happy about that!! As testing is approaching, you guys should be drilling poomsaes and self-defenses as much as you can, practicing them properly and correctly, not just running through them!! Focus on the ones you need more work with and ask someone to practice with you, if it helps keep you accountable. If anything is iffy or questionable right now you have about a week left to make sure its solid. Testing is going to be rough if you don't know your stuff, so focus on YOU and getting everything straight. Make sure you keep logging things in the website as well as in your book! Keep up the great...

I hope that everyone had a Happy St Paddy's day.  I am thankful for a new day and a clearer headspace, but I am ready for some fun and good times again.  What doesn't kill me definitely makes me stronger.

today I played basketball with my friends. All my classes were the same. :) 

Testing is coming up quick.  It'll be strange not seeing people walking in the door with their books, asking if they can lead warm-ups, grab a mentor session or a jump rope minute. I won't be asking Instructor Caleb to attack me for random self-defenses in between classes or checking how many journals I have left to do. Hang in there, everyone...just a little bit longer!

My day was good i had school and in PE my class did hocky and I cooked the other team i scorded 5 goals and had 2 assist out of 8. I didnt even know i was this good in hockey.

Today I finished my 100 miles!!! I was so excited and happy because I couldn't believe that I did that. In school today, I had a lot of fun and got back with my friends and teachers after not seeing them in person for like a week. I now have health instead of PE, which I am a little bummed about, but don't really care that much. I also saw this music group perform for our school this morning, which was cool because they were talking in many different languages. I then had baseball practice for the school, but that got cut short quickly because we had a parent meeting after. I then came home to go to Taekwondo, but I felt like skipping today, and instead completed my 100th mile at the Y, which was so great. I then came back home and got ready to go with my brother...

Went to school and pick my high-school classes did the pacer did my requirements.

It was a long day at work, I was all the way out at Highrock lake. That's quite a drive from the shop so I didn't get home until 3:30 p.m. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.

Nothing much today. I went to school and came back did some requirements and went to taekwondo. After I helped with class I came home and had some dinner and watched a movie.

Today was a nice day. I had my benchmark test this morning — since yesterday was canceled, I had to take the science one today. After I finished, I spent some time studying for my retest. Since I was in‑person, I didn’t have as much access to everything, but I still managed to find the answers to a bunch of questions. When I got home, I was feeling nauseous since the morning, but it finally eased up once I ate something. I’m not even sure if it counted as breakfast or lunch since I hadn’t eaten all day. After that, I took a nap, then woke up and did my requirements before heading to TKD. At TKD, I helped out with the Senior Tigers class. I led kicks and punches, and since Master Burkart was leading class, we worked on falling, technical stand‑ups, Kwon Sool on the ground, and a few...

Today was a good day! I am practicing for my black belt test and doing lots of chess, too. I also have a benchmark on Wednesday which is the next day. Goodbye guys. See you on Wednesday!

today was pretty productive. I went to school and slammed a pickle ball paddle into my nose. There was a big bump on it and it was bleeding a little but I was fine. Then I went to taekwondo and did my class assistance and menti and mentor sessions. Then I did my ELA homework. I was very sore today because yesterday I did my final physical test. 

Today was alright, school was normal, nothing out of the ordinary. When I got home, I did my requirements. I plan to complete all of my miles by tomorrow. That will be great. It feels like my hips and shins have not been enjoying all this running; maybe I need to fix my form. Anyway, later in the evening, I did some homework. The rest of my evening was typical. I am super exited that drumline should be starting back up soon. The weather has finally warmed up enough for that to be an activity after school.

Today was a good day. I went back to school after spring break + a day off so it was hard falling back into schedule. I went to the greenway after school and ran 3 miles then back to the gym where I finished all my physical requirements except poomsae and self defence. After I went home where I finished the rest of my requirements for the day. I then went to Taekwondo where I assisted the 6:15 class.

I am ready for this year to be over. I can’t take Any more bad news. It definitely makes me go stronger on my workouts, but I’m ready for some happy news  

Didn't do much because there was super bad weather so we got the day off school.

Had to get up early today for work and it was raining heavily on and off. Luckily it stopped during the afternoon so running was nice. In the evening I had to help with the ninja gym, usually I only work there Tuesdays and Thursdays but today I was needed to help with one of the classes before heading over to the dojang. Master Foster was working on pressure points and ways to strike them or use them. After that we head out to go home and have dinner.

Hope that everyone is all good after the weather today. On the way home tbis evening the wind had kicked up again. And the temp really dropped. I had to reroute as a tree had fallen across Ranson Rd, cars were driving through one home's front yard in the dark. I made a u-turn and by the the time I made it back up Ranson the streetlight had stopped working and was flashing. Busy evening, helped Sid with his physical test, he did very well! A mentor session for him, self-defenses with Peyton--lots of hapkido and some good classes this evening. It's colder tomorrow... don't forget your jacket! Have a happy Tuesday!

A rainy day. That means I'm going to have to work Saturday. I'm not that happy about that.

Today was kind of a restful day after a long weekend. I'm still sore from my physical exam this weekend. I completed my mile in 12:16 which is a 1:26 faster than my pretest. I also scored a 91 on my exam as well. We had remote learning today because of the weather. It worked out well for me because it gave me another day to recover. I did some math and read for about an hour. I help out in taekwondo class today and I met with my mentee today as well. Tomorrow, I will return to school after my spring break. 

Today was a chill day because I didn’t have school.  I worked ahead and got a lot of homework done.  I cleaned my room and did my requirements and played the game with my friend.

Today was a good day. It was a remote learning day so I woke up and got all of my assignments done. I then finished my physical requirements minus running for the day. After I practiced Taekwondo for a while  working on poomsaes and self defence. I then assisted the 5:50 class and attended the 6:40 class.

Today was supposed to be a normal day until I checked the weather and saw 5 tornado watches at only six in the morning. It was windy outside and a branch from our tree almost fell on our fence!

Today i had remote learning for school so the spring break was even longer but i woke up and saw there was a tornado warning but it never came and i did mostly everything for remote stuff except i forgot to bring my music sheet for band home from school so i couldn't do that assignment but i finished all the other stuff and after that was done i went to taekwondo

Today was a nice day. Because of the inclement weather, I didn’t have to go in‑person or have a regular school day, so that was a relief. I’ll have to go tomorrow though. I practiced all my material and finished my missing work, then later in the afternoon I walked to TKD with my mom. It was raining, but it was manageable. At TKD, I had PMAA — only two people showed up, including me. We worked on knife today. After that, I helped out with the Senior Tigers. We did a bit of Yi‑Chang, technical stand‑ups, falls, and a few other drills. Then I had a mentee session with Emelia, and we went over everything she needed to know. After that, I had a mentor session with Master Weeks. Once I got home, I packed my bag for tomorrow, ate dinner, studied, and now I’m going to head to bed....

Today I woke up feeling good because I thought that I was going to do my schoolwork and relax, but when I was doing my schoolwork a thunderstorm warning came up on my phone. I thought I was in danger because an accidently read tornado instead of thunderstorm. After telling myself I'm fine, my mom tells me that is an actually a tornado watch. I said, "No there is not", come to find out that there WAS one and the phone didn't go off. At that point, I was scared half to death. I never really been in a tornado before. While the warning was in effect, I was looking over the message to check that it was true. It was, but not for my area, but I still stayed in shelter just in case. After that, I relaxed, went to taekwondo, and came home. At taekwondo, I got a mentee...

Today was a pretty good day. School was canceled for me today and I just practiced my staff form 2 and bolo the whole entire day. I think I did three hours worth of taekwondo practice today, which is literally the whole week! I also did my final physical test and written test today and I was happy about my results. I beat all of my physical test scores except for V sit ups, which I tied with my last score. I also got a decent 95 percent on my written, which I could’ve improved on but I still passed. I also squished in class assistance, menti session, and mentor sessions. Productive day. Need to work on staff form 2 more though

Today school was pretty busy. I heard some schools were canceled due to the weather, this made traffic a lot lighter in the morning and the afternoon. When I got home from school, I started the requirements. I am seeing a lot of improvement which is always very rewarding. It is so crazy how in North Carolina, one day will be almost 80 degrees and then two days later, it will be close to 30 degrees. I am not looking forward to the heat, I like the cold. Anyway, for the rest of my evening, I just relaxed and played chess for a while.

Whoa, this cycle is blowing by really fast. Today, I had remote learning for school, and I finished all my work early, which I was happy about. Today, I also had my physical and written test, which I surprised myself on. On my physical test, I improved in everything and doubled on some workouts. On my written test, I did really well and passed, too. My mom then went grocery shopping while I waited in the car, and then we arrived home. I didn't do much at home except for my requirements, but then my brother and dad just left for the Y. I didn't want to go because I felt really sore and tired, but I will try to go tomorrow if I have time. I am going to chill for the rest of the evening and get ready for school tomorrow, so I will see you guys tomorrow.

Good morning, I had an awesome weekend doing the community service with you all. I was a great reminder to always help others. Hope everyone starts there week out great.

Happy Monday all!!  Here is to a great week of training and getting the final parts our cycle done. My cup is still very full from our community service event.  I love when things we do affect us in a positive way for days; it makes going to work and dealing with hard issues a little easier.  Here's to a successful week 11 in training.

Excellent Sunday. I woke up from a solid night of sleep, nice change of pace. Poomsae class was a good one, continuing work on knife hands and back stances. And then stations...my legs are already feeling those. Lots of good work. On to the gym with Joel where I had leg day...and did some weight machines that I had never done before. Also moved my weights up on some. And some pull-up work. Finished up with some I'll admit quite slow miles because my legs were ready to call it a day. Grocery shopping and then on to home and some cleaning. Essay written about the community service, this was one that we should definitely repeat.Then steaks on the grill just in time to beat the rain. Hope that everyone is safe from the weather tomorrow! Have a great week!

It was a good day, cleand went to Walmart tractor supplies ate at a bj. Got my dog a bone and a Chew toy that she now won't leave alone. 

Right now just focusing on finishing the rest of my requirements and helping the other candidates with prepping them for their test. Especially with Sid and Brayden going for their third dan they've got a lot of curriculum to know and be ready for. I've heard about the storms moving our direction and how its already affecting the western states hopefully its not too bad. For today I didn't have much to do went to church in the morning and had the rest of the day to myself. 

Today was a pretty good day. When I woke up, I began to think about how we started training in the very beginning of January. We all have come such a long way and now we only have what feels like a few more days ahead of us. It really feels like time has been flying past for me. Anyway, I jumped into my requirements early so that I had the rest of the day to do other things. I had some homework that needed to be done but other than that I did not have anything else on my agenda. The end is in sight; I hope that everyone can finish strong for the time remaining.

Today I went to Church.  After that I went to the park to see if I could find my phone because I had left it there yesterday.  It was still where I left it.  I played basketball while I was there then I went home and did some homework and chilled.  I also gave my dog a bath today. 

Today was a nice day! I finished up my community service essay and then went out for a run. I was feeling super tired for some reason, but I pushed through and got it done. After that, I spent most of the day studying for my benchmarks since I have to go in‑person for the next three days. Once I finished reviewing, I took a nap for a bit. Later, I practiced all my poomsae, self‑defenses, kicks, and weapon forms. I ate dinner afterward, and now I’m probably going to head to bed soon. Pretty steady day overall, just getting everything ready for the week ahead. Hope everyone’s doing well, and good luck with the rest of the cycle. ⟭⟬ Lalitha Sree Damarla⁷

Today was a good day. I woke up and stretched for a while then went through my Poomsaes and self defence. I then went to Kanapolis and looked around some stores there. After that I went home and cooked dinner which was good.

Today was good! We got to sleep in or a bit, which felt good! Then we had a yummy breakfast, and picked up my sister and her friend. We played out a lot and then when to Birkdale. We got Starbucks and then did a little shopping. Then we watched Hoppers in the movie theaters, which was really good! Then we had a REALLY good dinner! We were celebrating our mom birthday, which was fun! Now we are watching the Oscars and relaxing. :)

today was a chill day. I wrote my community service essay. I played my new video game. overall W day

Today was a mid day. I woke up in the morning as usual and went to a birthday party. Then after that I had lunch and then headed to my local track, so I could run my final physical test because I couldn’t make it in n Saturday morning. I beat my score! I had to run 2 miles and my last score was 17:47, but this time my time was 15:13! Then I just hung out with my friends and played ping pong the whole time. Yesterday I was at a states competition and didn’t make it to nationals, so that thought was just bugging me today. 

Hope everyone did well on the physical and written test yesterday, and I hope that I will do well on mine tomorrow in class. I already took both the tests at home and beat my old scores, so I know I can do it tomorrow, but I am still nervous. I know I will do well tomorrow, though. Less than two weeks to go until the cycle is over, and I am so excited. I have learned a lot of new things from this cycle that I never knew before, so that is really cool. One thing that I really like now that I didn't before is watering plants because it is really soothing and calm to me. Growing my tree that I have to present in my tea ceremony is really cool and fun. I am getting ready for school tomorrow now, which I am not excited about, baseball practice,...

Today was pretty fun, I got to sleep in which felt amazing after yesterday. Then, I went with my mom to pick up my sister, and her friend, from a sleepover. After, we went to Birkdale. I got Starbucks, did a little shopping and then we all went to see Hoppers at the movies. It was so funny, 10/10. When we got back I helped a bit with dinner because we’re celebrating my mom’s birthday. Overall today was fun… I can’t believe tomorrow’s already Monday, but at least we’re starting a new week and getting closer to the end! 🙃

I haven't journaled in about a week so its good to be back! Last week was crazy with 3rd quarter finishing up for school with lots of projects and tests! For some reason on Thursday my leg really started hurting but I wasn't sure what I did, however it is feeling much better now so thats good. I didn't have school on Friday so my friend and I hung out. We baked some chocolate chip cookies and watched a movie! Saturday's community service was actually really fun. I was in charge of putting powdered nutrients and freeze dried vegetables into the bag. Today I went to poomsae class and got some really good work done. My family and I then drove to the greenway where I ran 4 miles under the hot, blazing sun! I came home and finished up the rest of my requirements. I am focusing on homework now...

Yesterday was a little challenging with the post test. But i did really good on it i beat my time by over 2 minutes for the run. later that day I went to my mosque and played a bunch of games with my friends. 

What a great poomsae class!! It feels so great to be back on my normal routine and I know I’ve said this before but it’s amazing. I’m still very sore from yesterday and testing but I know I’m getting stronger and that’s all that matters. Loving  the final countdown for Black Belt Training Where I can see all of my hard work truly pay off. 

  i did the written and physical test yesterday, I think that i did will on poomsaes but could improve more on self defense.

I had to run a mile this morning, and then I did the physical test and the written test. The physical test felt very rewarding because I improved so much compared to last time. We had a class at North Charlotte and then afterwards we headed to the community service. It was pretty cool how many meals we packed.

Today we did the physical and written test and community service and I ran 3m in 20.47.

Today was pretty good, I woke up to go to class in the morning, class was pretty good as well. After class, I went to the community service activity. My job was to hold the bag under the funnel while the food was being dropped into the bag. I think we had 6912 meals packed which is insane; in such little time we got so many meals packed. After the meal packing, I came home and knocked out the requirements. The rest of the day was pretty relaxed, I played chess for a while and just enjoyed the rest of my day.

Today was a good day I beat my time on the run by 40 seconds everything else was pretty close finished all my essays and got 88 on my test last year I got 83 I also finished all my classes except one leadership 1 also community service was a vibe anyways peace

I got up early to support the candidates for their pretest and to help with the community service. They did well on their physical test and I hope they passed on the written exam too. A lot of them were stressing about it and I saw them doing last minute studying right before taking it. The community service was fun as we all got to hang out while packing the food. The time went by way faster than expected and I really enjoyed the event. Afterwards I drove to Harrisburg to get a mentor session in with Master Knight before heading home. 

Today was a really nice day! First of all, everyone did amazing at the test and at the meal‑packing event — seriously great job. I woke up early to head to the track, and I definitely improved my run time from last time. Once that was done, I went to TKD for our physical and written test. I could tell I improved a lot from the pre‑test. I filled out the written test, but my mind kind of went blank for a second from the lack of sleep, so that was fun… but I still got it finished. After that, we had BBC class, and then we headed to the Lifeline Christian Mission center to pack meals. Huge shoutout to my group/team — Aiden, Porter, Jett, Jackson, and the two members from the other KT branches. We were really fast! We packed a total of 32 boxes total, which felt amazing....

Today was a good day. Today was testing day and I had fun at community service.  I went to the park and played football and basketball with my friend after. 

Today was a good day. I woke up early for the physical test which was good. I was able to improve on everything which goes to show how far ive come this cycle. I then went to volunteer which was pretty fun, ive volunteered through lifeline several times and have always enjoyed it. After that I went to carowinds and ate dinner there.

Today was an okay day. Thursday, Friday and Saturday I was at a states competition. It was called future business leaders of America, and I got selected for the state competition. Do today was the last day of the competition and unfortunately I didn’t make It nationals. I also couldn’t make It to the physical and written test which I was hoping not to miss but thankfully I will be able take it on Monday. Today was a kinda sad day for me because I was tired the whole day, I didn’t make it to nationals, and I missed the written and physical test. Rough day kind of.

Productive day today. I had to wake up extremley early for my mile, which I beat by 3 mins. Physical requirments weren't too bad and I did 100x better on the written exam than I thought I would. The community service was also super fun because I got to goof off a bit with my friends while working for a good cause. All in all, this was a pretty good day.

Today was pretty good i woke up early to start running and went to the North Charallotte school for the rest of the physical test and did the written test after that was done i went to the community service and it wasn't what i expected but it was kind of cool to pack the meals and after all the tests were over i went back home to submit essays, recommendation letters, and do the pull-ups video.

Today was good! Woke up early the run, which went well. Then off to the physical test and written test, which also went well. The community service was really fun! Our table had a really good rhythm. Then when we got home we just relaxed for the rest of the day. Happy pi day! Good job everyone! :)  

Happy pi day guys :) This morning was an early one due to the post test. It went much better than I thought… I beat my mile by 4 minutes as well as everything else. That put me in a good mood for community service. It was a lot of fun packing those boxes, I’ve never done anything like that before. After I got home I just cleaned up a bit and rested because I am tired. That was pretty much my whole day. Great job to everyone, less than 2 weeks left!! 😄

What a great day!!! Started with a fantastic run and beat my original time by 26 whole seconds.  Then it was off to testing and physical testing.  I beat all my pre-test score and did a full pull-up.  I was so happy with my results, and it proves that if you put in the work, you can achieve anything.  Our final stop of the morning was our community service event, we all had so much fun packaging the food for food insecure families.  Our table was singing and dancing the whole time and enjoying the positive vibes from the whole group.  All in all, it was a fantastic day!

I hope everyone has a great run in the morning and does well on the rest of the physical. I know alot of people have been checking their answers over the last week or so at LKN, I'm betting on  them doing well on their written test. Tomorrow will be fun, I'm teaching black belt class in the morning. 😁 And then off to the community service with Instructor Peyton. Planning on the gym and some miles afterwards so a full day. Have a great Saturday!

Today I had a good day.  I didn’t have school and I was able to play the game some.  Tomorrow is testing. 

Today, I spent most of my time studying for my Black Belt exam tomorrow. I went to the Black Belt class at the Lake Norman school. We did some rolls and falls, and we worked on some poomsaes and self defense. After class, I did the pullup portion of my physical exam. I couldn't do an actual pullup, but I was able to hang on for eight seconds which is five seconds more that I did for my pretest. Tomorrow is my physical test and exam so I am a little nervous.

Today was alright at school, pretty busy since it was the end of the week. I went to class after school, class was pretty good, I feel like I have made  some pretty good progress on my 540 kick. I'm looking forward to the community service activity tomorrow. I think just by coincidence, I will be able to complete my 40 total service hours for school from our activity tomorrow. The rest of my evening was pretty good, just relaxed.

today was a chill day. in science class we got new seats. hi :) :) :) :)
