Candidate Journals

Hello! Today was a busy day since I woke up and went to faith formation then afterwards did my requirements exercises and after that I saw some friends playing football and I joined them. I had so much fun. After that I went home and my dad and I started watching football but im kind of surprised the ravens lost. Dad made dinner and now i am relaxing before I hit the sack.

Today, I caught up with some homework and just hung out at home. in the evening I went driving with my dad and we picked up some school supplies that I need for my new classes.

Today I got back from a sleepover and did my requirements. Then I played basketball and I am now watching football.

Today was a very productive day. I woke up and started on some requirements. I then went to church and volunteered in the kids room again. It was fairly boring as I was just the DJ and then had nothing to do while the kids were in small groups. After coming home and eating I did about 2 hours of requirements. The plan for today was to catch up on everything I had missed throughout the week, which was a lot. It was enjoyable since my dad was right next to me doing them as well. Afterwards I got ready for a dinner that ended up being canceled, which was a bummer; however, it worked for the best since I got extra time to finish up some personal projects. I just finished two of my personal projects. Now I am here, about to go eat dinner. 

Getting ready for the next week! I got my scrubs for my job next week. My boyfriend and I cleaned the apartment yesterday, so today we got to sit and bum around watching movies. This week is about progressing. I recognized what the habits I've been forming and working on the big or small changes to improve. Pet updates: Were getting 3 more rats, two babies and a momma. We're going to introduce them to honeysuckle (the skittish outdoor rat we found). Spending the evening preparing the cage while by boyfriend picks them up. So now have a total of 8 lady rats: Original Cage: Sweet pea, Poppy, Rose, Indigo,                                                   New Cage: Honeysuckle, Witch-hazel, Nightshade, and Cosmos 

Today I slept in till eight fifteen am. I also played outside for about five hours in total and I did todays requirements as usual. I also ran a mile in fourteen minutes! I rollerbladed outside for two hours as well. So I spent most of my day outside.

 Today I went on a six hour bike ride with my friends. I’m going to ride bikes with them again later. I have time in the evening for taekwondo. Nothing much to write about today.

Today I got dome some sit-ups, some oush-ups, some plank, some poomsae, and some kicks. While attempting to write this jorunal my cat logged me out and walked all over the keyboard and deleted some of my journal. Right now he's begging for pets and pawing at me. bad cat....

1/28: today I slept in and started off my day listening to some Spotify (mostly metal). I decided to add some finishing touches to my paper that I started yesterday. Me and my mom went to maple street Bisquit company to get some breakfast/brunch. I came back home and I'm continuing to finalize my paper. I have to say, this paper has really helped me to realize how important the basics are. with this concept in mind, later, I plan to learn some new scales on guitar and maybe learn a few new songs. it truly is important to get the basics down but when you're a beginner, it's easy to wanna dive in headfirst. in reality, this just makes harder on the future you. hopefully later today I can go do some shopping or something fun, but my next priority is answering another page in my review guide.

Taking it easy this week, only doing the classes that are mandatory. My plan is to get all of week 4 and 5 done this week to make up for the lazy week 3 I had. I did unfortunately have to miss out on Poomsae Class today which is a bummer, but it allowed me to get all of week 4 done this morning. Taking an easy week also means I can put a heavy focus on school, which I think is very much needed………

1/27: Today went relatively well... I went to kt Harrisburg for the majority of my day. I attended the 9am sparring class which went really well. my ankle still hurts from sparring last week but I can tell that it has improved. I got to spar four different people, each at a different skill level, which always serves as a great learning opportunity. I came home and started working on my paper about what it was like being a white belt again. I have to say, these papers are relatively easy but finding ways to project what I want to say is always the most difficult part. I ended off the night talking to a friend and played some video games. then I was off to hit the hay.

I was sick the whole day. I woke up sweating and with a horrible fever so I had to skip class that day so that wasn't good. As I laid there in bed my mom came in my room with this weird looking tea. I took a sip of it and it tasted like microwaved cough medicine but It wasn't. It was called sleepy time cold and cough. I tried to get some black belt requirements done but I only got the physical stuff done.

Great class on Saturday with Grandmaster Evins!  Even when he is not feeling well, he still gives the students in his classes 100%.  Thank you Master Dege for your help again with my curriculum.  I appreciate your patience.  

Took the evening off from my normal workout to spend time with the family.  Had dinner out and enjoyed a movie at home.  will need to double down over the weekend on the workout routine.  

Good morning King Tiger Family. It is Sunday morning. I got up pretty early and took care of some things at our house. I also ate breakfast. I am getting ready to go to church. Nate and I have a bunch of requirements to do today. It is a good day. The weather seems a little better than yesterday. Looking forward to the day. I hope everyone has a great day. Make sure you take some time to rest a bit though. Take care.

I woke up and got ready for black belt class then after class I took 9:30 class which I assisted with some yellow belts with poomsae then went home and got all my black belt requirments done then ran 2 miles then went to dinner and had a hamburger then went home and just kinda did nothing for the rest of the day because it was raining so I cant do extra running sadly but did get to do extra jump ropes. Overall my day was just kinda boring because of the rain.

Louise!  Just because I can run a few miles, doesn't mean I can spar for three minutes!  : )  Man oh man!  I really need to practice more sparring, but I really do not enjoy it at all.  In Leadership Class, we discussed making a list of what we are good at and what we are not so good at.  I am not so good at sparring.  I do not like sparring and I definitely don't enjoy sparring with boys or men because they kick the daylights out of me, so therefore, I will not spar with them anymore.  I prefer Double Stick Fighting and the Bo Staff.  I did have another great "Super Saturday" starting with Sparring, practicing Poomsae's and kicking the bags before the next class, Family Class and Leadership Class.  My bones hurt.   'Twas a great day.

Today I woke up very well rested and we had to pack up from the hotel. Me and logan were matching today and we did eachothers hair. When we got in the car we headed to the aquarium and me and Logan just walked around. We got to get shark stuffed animals and named them Mr. Finns and Mr. Choppers. Then we went to a deli and ate lunch. Logan and I went and looked at boats because we’re saving up. It was a long car ride home but it was fun we listened to music. 

Today I woke up and Charleston and I got to go to the aquarium. I saw a bunch of sea animals. Then we got to go to lunch and hang out with my dad's business partner and his family. Then we went to a boat show. We looked at boats and got to go on them. Lots of boats were really big and I was very impressed. Then we drove home. I got to eat wings and got to bed.

today was kinda hectic. First i woke up and got ready for sparring. then i went to sparring and it went as usual, then i helped out with the junior tiger class on got some class assistance credit. then i went home and relaxed for a while, caught up on some assignments and stuff. At 3 I had my basketball game and I picked up my friend and went but i forgot my shoes which was so funny because i switched with my friend so i could sub in for her. My dad did end up being my shoes and i played the full last quarter, we played a team we won 18-17 to and won 28-6 this time which really shocked me because either we got better or they got worse but I was happy then i got chick fil a after and I had to hurry and eat it...

Hello King Tiger! I hope everyone had a good start for week 4 and a good BBC today. After BBC, I went to the back with Caleb and did some requirements with him. I really need to get my class assistance and leadership credits up and going right now. After reaching home at 10, I did the remaining requirements and studied for an exam tomorrow. I just finished the whole thing now and I am going to go to sleep now. I will see you guys( at least most of you all) on Wednesday. (I could only come on Wednesday because my parents don't want to waste fuel from going back and forth.)

I did not journal yesterday because I was and am still not feeling well. I'm assuming it is a light cold, but it knocked me out cold that I went to bed the moment I got from from my bbc weekend class and woke up at 12. Sadly that meant I couldn't attend sparring for today, which honestly sucks because I was looking forward to it. Our Friday class consisted of a lot of self defense from white to green, and I'm excited to have more curriculum packed bbc classes!! I don't know how to end this journal so I'm looking around my room for an idea; my lego flowers are pretty!

Alright, week 4 in the cycle. Because I was focused on the state exam, I haven't been writing my essays and I'm only a few chapters into the required book. This week I need to step up and work on that. Class requirements and leadership requirements are progressing as they should. Leadership can be hard to get, we have so many people asking to lead for the cycle. But I just need to either show up early enough to ask.  Mentor and mentee sessions was another challenge to get done. I'm used to always being at King Tiger and having so much time, but now I have to make more of an effort to be there and be there when they have ability to have a session. I'm not behind so I don't need to stress, but I definitely need to emphasize getting it done.  There is a lot of things...

I woke up and had breakfast. Then we went to King Tiger for blackbelt class, Anthony got picked up to do something with his scout troop.  Then I did a mentor session with Ms. Jen.  After that I helped with class and led warm ups.  Finally I went home and played some video games and watched you tube.  After dinner Anthony opened his birthday presents and we had Reese ice cream cake.  We were going to go out for dinner to Bad Daddy's but it was POURING at the time we were going to leave so we are going to do it next weekend (mom and MiMi didn't think we would be able to find a close spot where we wouldn't all be soaking wet sitting in Bad daddy's). Now I am off to bed!

Hello! Today this morning I went to black belt class and did a lot of self defense. Master Evin was teaching the class via Tv,  I sweat a lot. After class I did some requirements and relaxed mostly today cause it rained a lot. Good night!

today I went toy black belt class in the morning. after that I helped out with the junior tigers class,. after that I did some homework. then i had a rec game and im really sad that we lost by three points. after i did more homework and im so tired so good night.

  Today was easy. I got bbc (black belt class) credit and did some requirements. I need to catch up with a mile tomorrow... I have four more hours till I can't talk (I'm going mute for an essay) I'm so exited... not. I hope everyone had a great day and stay safe!   S4:E1: No song today I didn't run.. HAVE A GREAT 4TH WEEK EVERYONE!

Happy Saturday! I was up and out early this morning as Jovi is a mentee for a fellow black belt on cycle so we got there a little before 8. While he was doing that, I worked on the breathing controls in Keumgang. I've been doing that a lot trying to improve those balance portions. Some days I do pretty well and other days I do not. Hopefully I will get some consistency soon. I took the Saturday morning black belt class at KT Lake Norman. We zoomed into North Charlotte where Grandmaster Evins was leading and it was a really good class. I took care of my black belt requirements when I got home. I took Jovi to his piano lesson in the afternoon. I finished up the assigned book, 13 Things Mentally Strong People Don't Do. I hope to complete the essay over the next couple of days. We'll...

Hello Guys!!  Today I went to Saturday black belt class early in the morning.  During that class they had the tv and did a zoom call with Grand Master Evins and we did some drills and self defense with a partner.  After that I got my book signed and left, when I got home I ran a mile on the treadmill.  After that I did some studying for school, then took a 3 hour nap, when I woke up it was 4:00 so I had a snack then I ran another mile on the treadmill.  After that I did some of my requirements then ate dinner, after dinner I did the rest of my exercises, and now I am getting to run my last mile for the day!     Have a very nice day

Today was very fun because in the morning I had TKD class and then won my basketball game. Now I am about to go to dinner with my friends!

Today I had Saturday black belt class and master Evens zoomed in on a tv. So that meant that we had to do a lot of self defense and poomsae practice. Kaden and I got put in the front row for like thirty minutes. I'm pretty sure that everyone was super tired after that class. After class i came home and did requirements so I could get a ahead.

Good Evening King Tiger Family. It has been a really good Saturday. Nate had a track meet this morning in Waxsaw, NC. We got up and got down there pretty early... then they delayed a little bit due to the rain. Luckily it cleared up pretty good before he ran. I am so proud of Nate. He is working so hard and it is paying off. He was in the last heat which means he is running against the best at the meet. He ran extremely well and just killed it. He is working to get to States this season. It is God's will on that topic, but he is working so hard and it shows. Just so everyone understands... he is running the mile in the 4 minutes 30+ second range... he is wicked fast. Again, so proud of him. It is so awesome to watch him grow and shine. We...

Today was like usual, I did some self defence, some sit-ups, and some pull-ups. I studied my "grit workbook" for my book essay. overall, a good day. 

Today I got up early and went to sparring class. After class I realized that I left my uniform top at home and my friend Declan let me borrow his. He saved me from a long drive back home. I am thankful for Declan and his help today. I helped out in junior tigers and did a mentor session with Caleb. After that I took a class as a white belt and stayed for leadership class.  We talked about being thankful and finding something we can do at home to help out. I'm still trying to think how I can help out at home. I stayed for the ninja gym reopening and play with some friends and offered to clean up after. I came home and finished my requirements and now I'm about to rest before working on my school project and some essays.

Today I went to Tae Kwon Do early to do a mentee session before my class, we went on over Hopkido (1,2,3) and Goom Gahng. We zoomed in with Grand Master Evins for our class where some unique, but effective kicking drills took place. I had never done it before but it was really fun. We; (1st dans) did BoCho Specials, Koryo, and Goom Gahng. After coming back from Tae Kwon Do, I ate a sandwich and took a shower. Going to requirements before dinner :)

Today I woke up and did what I had to do. Then I went to my schools basketball game with some friends. Overall good day

Tonight I went to a vision board event, where we shared goals (and s’mores) for the year.  it was nice of it because I’ve been thinking about what I’ve done in January and what I wanna do moving forward. Similarly tomorrow I need to look at where I’m at with Cycle and see where I can improve And what I’ve accomplished. Went running this morning and listen to different songs to use for my demo.

1/26/24:  Not enough hours in the day today. Felt rushed all day long.  TKD and Pizza with friends tonight 

Happy Friday! It was a long one! Got in 2 miles this morning. It was 65 and so humid. I think I had flashbacks of being on the fall cycle last time. Normally, I would love it, but not for running. Looking forward to cooler morning temps next week. :) Got my bb requirements in except for poomsae and kicks. I'm about 5 days ahead so that really isn't a big deal. Read about 1/3 of the book we were assigned. Took my dog, Cami, for a wellness check at the vet. She is in great shape for 11. Went to black belt class tonight. Went to my monthly book club meeting. 

I went back to school today after two days off. I started one new class: English. The teach seems very chill; she has definitely spent a lot of time around gen-z. I then came home and chilled for a little bit. I then went to Black Belt Class where we worked on Hopkidos again. Afterwards, I did a mentor session with Master Marcus and worked on 2nd Dan Specials. I then came home and started preparing for my track meet tomorrow. Now I am here. 

Tae Kwon Do is way more than just movement. It's a way to express yourself and help others grow. For example, today I was helping out in Little Tigers class (they're the best) and I just love working with them because they improve right in front of your eyes. If you tell them something they won't just put it in the back of their head and think, "who am I listening to? A ten-year old?" Instead, they take the knowledge for all it's worth and apply it. Not always immediately, but it comes around. I just think it's so cool how fast they recognize that you're trying to help them and they know that what you're saying can help them improve. As opposed to higher belts / older kids. What I've seen some people do sometimes when I'm assisting with class is, I'll tell them, for example, keep their hands up or...

CONGRADULATIONS FOR EVRYONE ON CYCLE! YOU MADE IT SO FAR ALREADY! CONTINUE DOING YOUR VERY BEST!! As you can maybe tell I'm excited that 3 weeks have already passes on cycle. Today I did a mile in the morning then school, worked my butt off and got a 96% on a science test (I'M BAD AT SCIENCE)! Then went to black belt class and got credit. Went home and ran a mile their then did the rest of my requirements. Just know I'm proud of everyone on cycle and stay safe!   S3:E7:   Killer Queen - Queen:   I give this song a 3/5 I thought I would like this song but honestly it was slow and I didn't enjoy it as much as I thought. Thanks it for me and stay safe!!   I WISH YOU ALL THE VERY BEST ON CYCLE!!

Was today good? No. Bad? No. The end of today was the best part. I woke up and had to go to another doctor’s appointment, went to school and overall experience a boring morning to mid-afternoon. Once I got to King Tiger, spoke to friends, laughed and met the new little tiger that joined today my day went uphill. Black Belt class today was also very successful, since I got to learn Hapkido 3 despite my challenges of being able to do it. A “meh” day that I hope improves tomorrow……..

today I went to school as normal. In spanish today I got my quiz scores back and i got a 96 which is better then i thought i would do. In science a kid threw a colored pencil at my head and almost got written up but since he was rlly nice about it and made sure i was ok  i couched for him and he didn’t get written up I have a scratch on my head though and it hurts. At home i relaxed a bit before i had to got to my weekend black belt class i was 15 minutes late because my dad got the time wrong but i made up for it with a mentor session with master foster. When i got home i ate dinner did the rest of my requirements and now im watching a movie with my family.

Overall today was a really great day. In school we had our birthday celebration and our character parade. The person I voted for best character of the month won. We got cupcakes, cookies, chips, and juice for the birthday celebration. My mom came up to volunteer and she brought the chips again this month. We also took a science MVPA test and got to go outside for recess. My shoes got muddy and my mom was not happy when saw them. I went to get a haircut and then attended my Black belt class. There were not as many people tonight. We practiced a lot of self defense and board breaking. I did okay with both and have to keep practicing some things. We had pizza after thanks to Master Foster and Instructor Conner. I came home and finished my requirements. It was torture but I got them done. I'm about...

hello King Tiger! I am going to do a short blog because I am so tired right now. School was fun. I got As on my quizzes and BBC(Black Belt Class) was fine. I need to work on hapkidos and bit more and I need to know kicking defense 1,2,3 and my specials for bo cho dan. Otherwise, everything was fine. I just finished my science chapters for a club right now. I am going to go to the library tomorrow to get some books. See y'all tomorrow(if you're not tired!)

Today I got checked out of school early to go on a trip withy friend Logan and it was a long drive. 

Today I went to school and I did all of my work. I had fun Friday and I walked a mile. I had lunch and at recess I speed walked 2 miles. I got picked up from school early and went to Charleston with my family. We had tacos for dinner and now we are at the hotel unpacking before we go to bed.

today was a school remote day I kinda liked it  i played games did requrments  di some writing then what i  did next is got on the vr italian night then i  got back on the vr after im writing this journal by  

This morning I woke up at seven with a little fever and a stuffy nose so that wasn't a good start to my day. Then I went to the kitchen to make breakfast for me and my cat Oliver. After breakfast I had to do history because I didn't do it yesterday. Once I was done with history I broke apart my LEGO tie fighter to make something new. Then I went to TKD and had pizza.

It was a warm day today. School was fun.when i got home i worked on some required exercises. then I got ready for the mentor session and black belt class. We went over Hapkido self defenses and landing on the mat. Not easy, I had fun.

Today I aced 2 tests!!! Then we started a lab in science. When I got home I played basketball and finished my requirements then TKD class.

Hi, today when I went to school and had a field trip to the Catawba Science Center, I've been there a few times and it has been fun.  We also went to a Harriet Tubman play.  After that we came back to school and normally in the end of the day we have advisory, but we just watched a movie instead, because we just came back from thee field trip.  Then I went to the Friday black belt class and we worked on hapkido almost the whole class.  When I got home I did my requirements, and now I am about to go read my book for school.

Hello King Tiger Family. Pretty normal Friday. I worked remote today as I usually do on Fridays. We did have our carpets cleaned today, so that was a little different. Pretty typical work day. Nate and I did do some requirements and I did go for a run at lunch time because it is 70 degrees today and figured I would take advantage of it. Not sure how the weather will be this weekend. Glad we worked on Hopkido at Black Belt tonight. Got a mentor session in and learned some items I need to refresh on. Finished some requirements. Getting ready for tomorrow. Nate has a track meet in the morning. Take care.

First I woke up and we walked to school for my last mile of the week.  After school I went to King tiger did my black belt stuff and took black belt class! Then after class we got to beat my brother for his birthday!!!!!! 😃😂😁 Then we went home for dinner and then a little later bed! 

Today I went to school where a had my first day of acoustic guitar class. Upon coming to Tae Kwon Do straight after, I did sit-ups , pushups, plank, burpees, and jump rope. I took my weekend BBC and am driving home now.

Today was the start of 2nd semester so I started chemistry. It seems like an interesting class and I think I would like it.

I woke up this morning, read my bible app and went outside to check the weather.  I started my workout this morning with Black Belt Samery on YouTube.  I completed a ten minute high kick routine, a ten minute stretch for higher kicks routine and six minutes of a ten minute jump rope routine.  I was supposed to get some Poomsaes in since I scheduled Poomsae's in the morning and running, self defense and exercises in the afternoon. This afternoon I completed my two-mile run with my dog.  It was our first time running outside since the rain and cold weather.  The weather was perfect to run in and being outside was a great change from the treadmill. This evening we practiced self-defense in our black belt class.  The higher we got, the worse I performed.  I realized that up to this point, I've been working on the same self defenses and had...

Yesterday I was home from school so I did some pull-ups in the morning. After that, I had some free time. Later, at 3:00, I ran two miles. After that, I went to my sparring class.

Balanced by extremes day: I probably failed the second part of my math test but I also got to go to tkd today! I got a mentorship with Master Knight to work on stick and staff form #1, helped out with junior tigers, led warm ups and the drill with the senior tigers, and then worked with my mentee! I also worked on "pull ups" which are really just hangs with the occasional attempt to pull up, but they're something rather than nothing!! I have math homework to finish, and then I'll work on reviewing American History for my test tomorrow. Or maybe I'll fall asleep. I'll know in 20 minutes.

Yes!  I finally made it to class today.  I led the floor portion of today's warm-up.  As a White Belt today, I forgot to Ki Hap and pre-prep for the next movements.  I finally completed a few successful rolls without cracking my head and I made a little progress in my pull up (singular).  I'm looking forward to doing a full session of non-stop self defense tomorrow (hint-hint).  Rain, rain go away. 

today i did my requirements in teh morning then went to jail. i went to help with class and then sparring class. after i had a mentor session and went home and did hw.

Today I almost broke my dads nose. He thought it would be fun to teach me some moves but he was wrong. eleven more months until Christmas!!!

Light workout after dinner tonight.   Pushups, sit ups, kicks and dumbbells.  Will work through the poomsae before bedtime.   

Super black belt class with master Cavazos on Wednesday!  Thank you for sharing your knowledge of stick and bo staff forms with the class! 

I was feeling unmotivated to do any of my requirements today. I slept til noon, caught up with few shows. I had to run interval runs today on my training app, but it was raining and I was tired, but I got up and just started moving, even if it was slow or not my best. I did so push-ups, sit-ups and jump rope, then went outside to run. I didnt wan to run, but after starting and getting mid-way, I felt really good. I was motivated and I finished 2.5 miles and felt energized to go to sparring. Sometimes you really just have to do it and give it over with. 

Today at school I did not have outdoor recess since it was raining a lot. I played at the gym with my friends. After school I had science club and it was fun. I rested at home and got ready for sparring class. I had a good time!

I got to sleep later this morning because we had NO SCHOOL!!!!! I woke up and we had cinnamon rolls for breakfast because tomorrow is my brother's birthday, and we do it every year on our birthdays.  We went to King Tiger for the day and I played video games and big mat games.  We had lunch and played more games and had class.  I also had a mentor session and worked with my mentee.  I also helped with class and did some of my black belt stuff before sparring class.  Then we went home and had dinner and now bed time!

Pretty good day today! I passed all 3 tests I had today with high B’s (Math, Spanish, and English) which is really good. School overall today was good. After school I had a doctor’s appointment (which went great) and then it was Sparring. Week 3 is almost at a close, though it feels like it’s been much longer than 3 weeks……

Hello!!!  Today I went to school and had a science test that I didn't study for 😑, but the thing is we got to play on thee computers after that.  Later in school I had to make up a math test, I kind of forgot how to do it but I was fine.  After that I went home and did my homework, when I was done I went to the 5:15, 6:00 and the sparring class, I took thee 5:15 class and in the middle of the classes I did a mentor session.  In the 6:00 class I assisted in class and led punches and kicks, when I got home I did my exercises.       bye!

Today i woke up a bit late and started panicking because i was really late but then i remembered i had a Ortho appointment at 9 so I slowed down and took my time. At the Ortho they moved one of my brackets which is making my teeth hurt really bad and i also got my color redone. by the time i got to school it was like 9:40 and we were doing an assignment, it wasn’t to hard and i finished it in time. In PE we moved on to pickleball but i don’t really like it because it’s hard and not very fun. In spanish we took our quiz and i feel like i didn’t do very good on it even though I studied. I did my mentee session which went on a lot longer because she didn’t know any of her self defense but it was ok because...

Today I woke up later than I normally due since I had no school again. I then did my normal morning routine. Afterwards I went for a run with my girlfriend in the rain which was amazing because we ran in her neighborhood which is right on the lake; the lake with the rain was so beautiful. Then we hung out for a few hours; I went to PT and she came with me; then we said goodbye. I headed to Tae Kwon Do to help with class, I worked with Nathan Miller which was good since I got to work on 1st Dan stuff. Then I took sparring class which I enjoyed. I then got home, ate, and now I am here. 

So everyday at some point I say "My leggies hurt" cause yes, they hurt.. But I used it 3 times today and that was even to much for me.. My sister started Cheer today and she was really nervous and cried because she got hurt but she did really well! I wish her the best of luck and to be really good at it like I al tkd. I got to do sparring today and a mentee credit. Me and my mom both decided to not go to the gym today because we didn't feel like driving .2 miles away from home, and it was almost my bed time, (Yes I have a bedtime, I did stupid things as a child.). I ran my mile and got a new high score for running and finished everything else. I feel like a lot of people got school off today, I wanted school...

Happy Thursday. Another rainy day, but hopefully it will be just cloudy tomorrow. Jovi was off from school so he was at King Tiger for camp allowing me to get some work done and bb requirements done. Went to sparring class tonight. Tweaked my bum knee a little so it is a little sore. Hope everyone had a great day!

Today was a teacher workday so I went to after school the entire day. Besides that it was like any other day. I went home did my requirements and relaxed  

My day was not very great since I woke up at 3:45 am and could fall back alseep for an hour then woke up again at 6:00 am very dizzy and I had a horrible headache so after a bit of time pass I found out I was sick so I had to take some medicene and it made me feel much much better so then I just did nothing the rest of the day and then I had dinner. Hope you guys had a great thursday!

Today I had a day off from school so I went to the DMV for my mom to renew her licenses and get a real idea. I thought it was easy and quick. Then we went to school because my mom needed to do some things in her classroom before we could go home. She teaches kindergarten. Then I went home and ran a few miles and did some excercises. Ate lunch and worked on the quiz questions. I went to sparring class and sparred two big kids and a white belt. Now I am home eating dinner and will go to bed soon. Have a good night.

Today in school we studied for tests and quizzes and had indoor recess due to the rain. I am now eating and doing requirements before class today.

Our school had 2 days off because of exams so I could rest and do whatever I wanted. I also had no homework because it was the end of the semester. I went out with my friends to Birkdale and did some volunteering.

Good Morning King Tiger. It has been a pretty good morning. I did hit snooze this morning. It was a late night and morning came quick... so I slept a little extra (15 minutes). I got up and did most of my normal routine. Nate did not have school today, so it was a little different. I did some requirements and spent some time in scripture. Then onto work, where I hope today goes better than yesterday. All good. I love my job, but need yesterday was another day of finding problems. I am finding that I have a bunch of TKD knowledge buried in my brain and it is starting to come back. It is a little like riding a bike, it comes back to you as you do it again. I have a bunch of refinement yet, but the basics are there. Just need to keep doing it. Looking...

Well, here I go again, another late night of training.  Alarm is set for 06:00.  Tomorrow's the day! 

Good evening King Tiger Family. It is Wednesday evening. Nate and I went to Master Evin's school for Black Belt class. We reviewed stick and staff forms which was perfect because we needed the refresher. Great workout too. Nate and I also got some other requirements completed. We are excited about tomorrow. I had a normal crazy day at work. Have a great dinner that my incredible wife cooked, so extremely thankful. Have a great evening and take care. 

Today I had no school since I today would be the make-up day for finals and midterms and I had no exams to make up. I spend most of my morning doing my normal routine and adding in some extra requirements. I then drove my mom around to do some errands to get some driving hours in. Afterwards I hung out with my girlfriend for a few hours before getting ready for black belt class. I really was hoping we didn't do weapons and sure enough we did. However, I was glad we did because I was able to remember many of the Poomsaes I forgot and now have something to work on, on my own. After I came home I worked on my essay for my book. I was able to finish that while doing some rehab for both my knee and achilles. Now I am here. 

today was a normal day and I really did the same things as all the other days. One thing I did different was I had to pack my suitcase because I have to go to Boston.

I had a normal day today. The only thing that was different was that I played a game for five minutes.

Re-thinking the Cartwheel (Movement Exploration) (youtube.com) A video popped up in my YouTube feed about how to do a cartwheel. But demonstrator talked about how its beginner movement for people looking to get into acrobatics and gymnastic skills.  He talked about the movement can be broken down into 4 parts: the entry, exit, and mid-movement. He challenger me, the viewer, to explore variations with my cartwheel. Changing the distance of my where my hands start, landing/starting at different levels (low to ground vs. standing), slowing down or exploding in/out of it, landing on other foot. He suggested taking time out of day and just practicing cartwheels, taking time to breakdown, explore, and get comfortable with trying different variations of a cartwheel. The final exploration is the essence, which explores the other tricking and motions that may not look like a cartwheel but has the foundational movements of a cartwheel. He demonstrated...

1/24/24:  Today was a half day at school. Got a new English project, sooo fun.....NOT!  I had lunch with my grandma and did my running. Did classes tonight at KT Harrisburg.  Got a lot of things checked off today. Now Im doing math and relaxing after. 

nothing out of the ordinary happened in school today although I did see the maintenance workers trying to fix the pipe that I told you about in one of my previous journal entries. Oh, and we got a full hour of recess because my teacher had to go somewhere.  It was raining so we had to stay inside but still it was a nice treat. "No fair" says my (jealous) brother. When I got to King Tiger, I assisted with the first class and then I took second class and was the first one in line. Later in the evening I returned to King Tiger and finished my requirements and took the last class. I wasn't able to run any miles today though due to the rain. Besides that, my requirement life is sailing smoothly. How was your day? was it good? Was it bad? If it was bad, then try to think...

Today was a normal day. I did not want to get up for school and get there a little later than normal. School was okay. We did a reading MVPA test today. I think I did good on it. I happy because tomorrow is no school. I get to play with my friends. After school I went to my taekwondo class and helped out in junior tigers. I also got a mentor session and went over poomsaes. My mentee did not come before class today so we have to do it another day. I did a black belt class later and came home to finish my requirements. I'm tired so I'm about to relax.

Hello! Today at school we learnt about different types of clouds. It was pretty interesting since now any day I can look up in the sky and tell what clouds are there which is pretty cool. After school I did some requirements and ran a couple miles on the treadmill. Later, my dad took me to TKW to the 6:00pm class for class assistance and leadership. back home i had tacos and relaxed a little bit. Good night!

Today I was running rlly late to school and js made it to the bus stop,luckily our bus was late to. in school math we had review and science we had the regular rotations. Tomorrow in spanish we have a quiz and im kinda nervous because i don’t rlly get the words so i have to study. In social studies we are doing a UN conference simulation and my group chose South Korea as our country. In ELA we had this assignment that i luckily finished right as class ended so i don’t have homework. After I got home I at a snack and did some math homework, after that i relaxed a little then did my requirements. My sister hasn’t gone to school all week because she has a fever and i’ve been trying my best not to catch it to. I went to my Weekday black belt TKD class...

I woke up today and realized I'm one day behind on running, so I went and did one mile before it started pouring rain. After school I went to two classes today and got leadership, assistance, and mentee credit. After that I went to the gym and did another mile and knocked out all of the other stuff with it. That was it. I hope everyone had a great day and stay safe. S3:E5: Today I forgot my headphones and phone at home and this morning I forgot my headphones at school, that was my bad. I'll pick a new song tomorrow. Hopefully. I hope everyone did good today, and always keep smiling! 

Today I woke up not feeling the best but did the reqiurments still and tried to get ahead so i dont have to do much then i went to school which was very boring because only half way through the week then when school started i had season testing then it was just a regular boring day after that then once i got back to my house i did extra poomsae and self defense for black belt cycle then I played video games because I have no school tomorrow!

Today I woke up early and got ready for school and then we headed to the rec center to run because it was going to be raining ALLL day! I did a mile and a half and then we headed to school.  At school we did the same old blocks as always.  After school I went to King Tiger took a class, and helped in class and got both leadership credits and did a mentee session with my mentee Jensen.  We went back to the rec center after my mom got off work and did another mile and a half! Then we went home had dinner I finished my school homework and now I am going to bed!  NO SCHOOL TOMORROW!!!! YAAAAAY! 😁😁😁😁😁

Today I had my third and final test and it was a science test. I feel like I missed none of the questions, if I did maybe only one or two at most though. I was kind of sad because when it was raining at my recess time. So I didn't get to go outside. But it was worth it Because we got to play on our chromebooks with our friends. So of course me friends and I went to the same table and of course we are the second loudest group in the whole classroom. The giant girls group definitely took first place on being the loudest. They take two tables and push them together so they all can sit together. Anyways after school, as usual I went to class and did some more requirements and then went to dinner and called it a day.

Happy Wednesday. It was very drizzly all day so I'm glad I got some extra running in earlier this week. I worked and got my bb cycle requirements done. I got my hand knitted blanket done for my new skill. I already got yarn for another one and ordered a kit to make a dog bed. Went to King Tiger and got in a session with my mentees as well a class leadership credit and a class assistance credit. Hope everyone had a great day. 

Hi, today was a mehh day, only because it was raining almost the whole day.  When I went to school I had not as much fun as normal, because it was raining.  After school I did my homework, and then I did some exercises, after that I went to tae kwon do, while I was there I did class assistance.  When I got home I did my exercises.   Have a nice day!

today i went to school and it was a benchmark day, so we had a changed schedules. then after school i went to play basketball with my friend brye.

Today I got checked out of school and have to go to an appointment for my knee and I got chick-fil-a and afterwards I have to do my requirements and go to class

Tenth journal! I’m one fifth of the way there!! I decided to write a little earlier today. I’m currently in my ENG 111 class, and we have a workshop day today, so we’re meant to be working on our Narrative Essay. I’m writing about my test for my Bo Cho Dan. I got tired of writing it for an hour straight, so I took a break to journal! I had the first part of my Precalculus math test earlier, and I don’t think I did too bad on it! It hasn’t been graded yet, but I’m pretty sure I missed at most two. I have a ton of Physics work to catch up on, as the self paced course won’t allow me to move onto another assignment until the previous one was graded. Have a nice day :D
