Candidate Journals

Today I got my locker and now I wont have to carry all that stuff with me. It will be such a relief.

Today is Thursday finally. I have tae Kwon do tonight and PE this morning at school. We are going to be doing physical stuff and setting goals. I'm kind of excited.

All Day... HVAC couldn't keep up with our AC loads for the past two days. I feel like I'm in Taiwan with the humidity and the heat inside. All sweat, all day. Keeps the muscles warm. Worked on hurricane hook kicks, still not at the speed nor the height that I would like but it's coming along. I have to keep in mind about rotating my hips over to prevent injury. Fruit punch spark is keeping me going. :)

Today Was ReallyFun. After My School Work I Got To Play Xbox With My Little Brother. Then I Went To Church For Bible Study. I Got Soaked Leaving Church Because It Was Raining Really Hard.

Didn't get much sleep last night. Today felt very long. Hopefully tomorrow I'm feeling better. I'm planning to have my sparring class outside tomorrow as long as the weather holds up. 

Today is day 2 of my Advocare Challenge! Have a ton of energy and feel great, got a lot done today, except for my run. Thought I was going to do a kick boxing class tonight with some of the candidates to get in some extra sparring rounds but it didn't happen, so then I was irritated with myself for not running. Will run tomorrow for sure. Had a great class with Master Evins this morning. I miss working out with him during the summer! Listened to 102.9 on and off as I could today to try to hear our new King Tiger radio commercials! So exciting! Let me know if you hear one!

by the way, i was talking about the black belt sign in.

i got my ipad from school today. its annoying, i couldn't log in because the login thing is right on top of the journal tab so with a touch screen it wouldn't work, so know i'm writing my journal on the computer. about today, everything was fun, we spent a lot of time in homeroom with our ipads, but yeah it was fun, especially that we have a science test tomorrow; i'll manage. ;)

Rain: I cant recall the last time it rain. But we need it. The sad part is it must have kept some students from coming to class tonight. Hope they were home doing their home work.

School is going good. I have a couple of great teachers. Science class is so much fun. We do notes one day and experiments all the next day. I'm enjoying very much.

Trained with Master Evins and the other Masters so much to learn and so much to do, I really am weak in certain areas, no excuses I should be better than I am, so here we go again, need to make sure I set a better schedule to work on the forms, and self defense

Today i went to the zoo. It took a long time so i did not get much black belt cycle done. Except i got a lot of running in.

Today I help out with testing. there was only 4 people there so it was small.

Today I did my normal routine with exercises and school. We didn't have regular class tonight because of belt testing but I did get to help and enjoyed it.

school is not fun.!!!! it is really boring and hard. it is my first year of middle school.

today I ran a mile and I think I am doing it quicker.

Yesterday in BBC we reviewed the color belt self defences and I can garentee I need ALOT more practice. I also just ran a mile (up to the park and back) and saw my friend Ashly who thought it was cool I was selling cotton candy for Laviens Children's hospital. :-)

I got my physical requirements done for the day and we are getting ready to leave for church. At church tonight we get to dress in “crazy socks”. Yesterday I was able to attend sparring and Hyper. I also got to attend a Piano class.

Yes!today we finally got our ipads. I immediately changed the lock screen and home screen to cupcakes.duh!I find it really cute. The thing is I can't connect the bluetooth keyboard to my ipad. It really sucks, but Iike my ipad anyway.

Just go home from School. Doing my Math homework and LA Essays.

my muscles are hurting VERY badly today from working out this week schedule looks painful full of arm leg and ab training today then only one rest day wish me luck

Great Tuesday to start back, classes went well. Hot today indoors, AC was on full blast with no avail towards having cool air circulating. Sweaty all day.

It was finally the start of clubs at school, so I woke up early to attend two meeting in the morning, student council and NHS! After the meetings were over I had 1 1/2 hours of free time since I didn't have a first block at school so I finished up some homework! when school got over I went to planet fitness to exercise and then went to PMAA class. We did sinawalles as a basis of the class! Arriving home after the class I had just ended the day with finishing homework assigned to me!

We have gotten a lot of new kids to sign up for classes recently.  I'm having to remember many names. I plan to have them down by tomorrow. I was sleepy after our long weekend today. 

Long day. started with first thing in the morning a dentist appointment ,then the afternoon class ,then worked on my pickup truck till 4:00 , and knocked out some requirements, then helped in the family class, then black belt class class ,and finished off the day with PMAA. Can you say time for bed.

Started my 24 Day Challenge today. Ate well and had plenty of Spark! Ran at noon.....yes, it was hot! Going to try to run before my work out with Master Evins tomorrow! Maybe it will be cooler! Did a Core Fitness work out with the Gang. Staying on the busy side with the new After School students and new employees. I am sure that it will all settle into a good routine here in a week or two, but until then having some trouble getting my requirements in.

Yesterday we got a pullup bar that we installed. It was only $20 and for what I got it was a pretty good investment. It's called the Perfect Pullup Bar. It has all kinds of cool functions and I'm working on my pullups. I will do at least 1 come testing time. Once I get the first one down the rest will come.

today I did bbc and I learn basic form 2 that I did not now. :(

Just had a light bulb moment - -concerns with my time management (work is nuts- - no beyond nuts)- -solution have an IV drip of spark connected to me so I can function on no sleep- - -got to work on that one. Great class tonight, Inst. Hsin likes to push us on the physical side, love every minute of it just have to think I can get thru this without them having to come carry me off. I may not be the first to finish but I will finish. On a positive note my back and knees finally feel better but the shoulder still has issues. Pretty much normal when I get back from shows so will let it go a bit longer and hope for the best. I always think it can be worse so will just modify a few things in the mean time and see where it...

I had a Migraine on Saturday, that is why I did not do any requirements besides running. that is how I basically got my migraine. my family and i think it is over- exertion. Balancing schoolwork and TKD is pretty hard right now ):

Today I had school so I got up very early to my running & half my requirements. After school I went to taekwondo and took 2 regular classes and got a Leadership credit and also took black belt class and got another mentor session in. After class I ate dinner, did my meditation and studied for the written test. I am very tired and going to bed now.

so its the second week of school and it is pretty cool .today I got a mentee and a mentor sessions done yay! I cant wait to help out with testing wedsday and thursday for the color belts! Its going to be awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!

Back to school. Seems like a monday. I love long weekends.

mom suggested that we eat before we go to TKD. We are. like right now.

i can't wait until school is done. its so boring. summers so far away. all right i have to leave and go beat up some inocent kids. jk

I'm bored. I have to do my math though...I'll probably do that. As soon as I'm done, I will head over at TKD.

I just came home from school. I'm hungry and I can't find anything to eat, salty. (I'm that kind of person to be in a mood of sweet one minute and salty the next)I'm going to go to the PMAA class and I think the hyper pro too. I'm not sure.Oh well.

Today we were supposed to get our ipads at school, but we didn't.We learned that in art (my first period of the day on B days). I was so mad!They had canceled it last week, and moved it to today, and because not enough of people got their apple ID and passwords done, we couldn't.So its tomorrow. My sister and I did get the stuff done and paid but...tomorrow.

just came back from school, my mom, sister and i found these caterpillers (?) and we took them and we are feeding them stuff. i hope they turn intoo a butterfly not a moth.

I Started Homeschool Today. I Had Homeschool Tae Kwon Do This Morning, Came Home And Did My Schoolwork. Now I Am Going Back To Tae Kwon Do To Take Three Classes. Tuesdays Are Long Days!

This weekend I went on vacation in the Smokey Mountains and saw my friend Erin and her brother Ryan who we met on our last vacation. So me and Erin sold cottoncandy for 50¢ each by the bouncy house and we raised 11$ for Lavines Children's hospital :-)

Yesterday my brother and me went through the playroom and found some stuff to sell at a garage sale. Today i'm going to look through some precious moments that my mom is going to let me sell.

This Labor Day weekend was very relaxed for me and I enjoyed it! It was a good way to end the first week of school I hung out with my friends and family! I wasn't able to accomplish all my requirements needed for each day but I got some in! After a fun weekend, I sat today and finished some homework and my mom and I also redecorated my room!

put some more stuff in the computer, its annoying.

I just added all my up to date info.:(. It's pretty stressing.

Today I wrote an essay then got out of bed then I played some videogames and did my requirements then I went and played outside and after all that I packed and went to bed

tomorrows the first day of official school for me I've been dong it for awhile but tomorrows my official first day

Today was simple I woke up, did some requirements, mowed my lawn and spent the rest of the day with my family and some friends.

Today was Labor Day so I took an easy day from physical requirements and only did my running today. I worked on my school projects and studying for the written. It was nice to have an easy day but ready to get working hard again tomorrow.

i ran a mile with my mom and my sister and didn't die. life is pretty boring but we are getting ipads tomorrow!!!!!!

I was a bad man this weekend. I took two days off my requirements and and indulged in a lot of barbecue. Some time you do need a brake.

Today, I ran a mile with my mom, and sister.My time was 9.42.03.After that I had lunch, watched a 'simpsons' episode, one of the early ones( from the marathon)Then Yseult called me outside because one of our cats was sniffing at a hole. It turned out a turtle was in there.After that my mom and brother left, and we watched another 'simpsons' episode. Then they came back, and I am back to the present.

Today is my last day of summer vacation. Homeschool starts tomorrow. I start 4th grade. I'm going to miss summer.

today I went to a pool party. it was really fun because I got to go hang out with my friends and swim.

Today was a fun Labor Day. I went to kohls with my mom, I talked with friends, finished hw and black belt essay, and played with my dog Dexter. It was a great day.

Today was my last day with my cousin Riley .He left and now I don't have any one to play sports with. The reason is because Foster hates sports,Camden is a girly girl and the only sport she'll go near is cheer,and my Mom and Dad don't have time.That makes some of this day a bum but I had so much fun when he was here.

I went to the park with my family and did my run and other requirements. While there I visited the Korean Memorial at the park. I went outside and played basketball and football.

It's been a while since I've written an entry I've been busy with getting ready for school\ starting school and working at the dojang and I've just been plain forgetting to do it and I feel like an idiot for not keeping up with it and it's sad. I look forward to this school year it is interesting so far and that is a good thing in my world but that means school comes first so I won't be able to go really crazy with the requirements during the weekdays but that's okay. I also decided to take a weekend of r and r so I did not do any requirements this weekend and that's okay as well I'm not behind except for a couple of things and I'm working on that and I am signing off now.

Yesterday I went to a labor day party in my neighborhood.  It was fun, I got to see all my friends and jump on their new trampoline.  We also had a dance party.  Today, I ran for the first time since the pre-test, and it was really hot outside.  I was sweating so much that I wasn't allowed to sit on the couch until I had taken a shower.  

Yup there is some labor going on today. Groceries done, bills paid, house clean, big batch of Bolognese simmering, laundry a work in progress and it's just too stinking hot to iron. Now I am going to be selfish and take some me time and try to focus on requirements in between the laundry. I see some Spark in the future today - - -.

Yesterday i did not do much but my mom re-did my requirement sheet. It is supposed to have me done with the entire black belt cycle by the end of September.

Today is a Holiday so there is no school.I am going to do my requirements.

I am really trying to get back on track I made a commitment yesterday to see this through, my problem has been my foot I can only do a few things then need to rest it and soak it and but medicine on it but I am going to work on finishing this journey. I ran the four miles for the pretest and I ran yesterday 2 miles , it seems I can get in two without it stopping me.

For the last two days i have been taking a break and today i looked at what i had to do and i made a plan for how to finish. after i did my TKD stuff i went to the pool and stayed there the rest of the day when i got home i ate dinner outside with the family and now i am writing a journal.

Had friends over today. Pool party and gaming. Did my requirements.

Today I went to the pool for three hours. I played catch with my dad corey, I also saw my teacher.

I stared a lot of stuff last week.My teacher is Ms.Geraci.She is a fun teacher. I got a new dean,PE teacher,and a new fifth grade teacher.I'm in fourth grade.

today was a relaxing day because of no school. I got some requirements done and spent the rest of my day with my family. :P

I Went Camping This Weekend In Cherokee On The Reservation. I Had No Internet Or Phone! I Got To Go Fishing And Skipped Rocks. We Cooked Hotdogs Over The Fire And Made Smores.

Yesterday i did not do much. And so far have not done much today either. I do not have much else to write about so this is going to be a small journal entry.

This weekend I went on a camping trip in the mountains with my family and friends.  We rented a tube and I really enjoyed floating down the river.  We also got to sing Karaoke and play badminton.  

Requirements down the tube this weekend but it is worth every minute of it, having a blast. Watch out next week its time to play catch up. Hope everyone enjoys the extended weekend and good by summer ready for the fall.

Today I went to sparring class at Belmont and I got to lead the running which I enjoyed doing. I got a good workout and it was felt good to be back at Belmont this Saturday. After class I came home and finished my requirements for today and worked on my school projects. Tonight I study my written test and did some meditation.

I got my physical requirement done this morning and then we went to Chimney Rock. It was a lot of fun. I got to stand in the waterfall.

Today I went to Dragon Con in Georgia. In a little bit I am going to leave to go to an aquarium

today was a good day. I had a sleepover so i am super tired, but i got all of my requirements done. :)

Today we did not have Saturday BBC which I always look forward to. My family and I are going to a boardwalk where they have shops and stuff like that later this evening, should be lots of fun.

Today my uncle came over. It was really really ffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuunnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today i did schoolwork and our co-op until 4 o' clock. The co-op was a Polynesian feast it was really good mostly tropical fruits but some meat. I did most of my requirements but not much else. But i feel like i did a pretty good job i mean, with the little time i had. A couple days ago when i finished all my requirements i realized that if you just do it all and get over it that it really doesn't take that long to do all your requirements. So today i just got on it and all that i did didn't take that long. I hope to do more but right now i'm journaling while i remember.

Body is feeling good but was a little tired today, went to bed late and did not sleep well. The good thing is we had a slow day at work. Tonight I will be seeing the sand man early.

Today i am going to go to school and do m requirements.Last night my computer died.

The day had begun fairly slow and easy, I went to all my classes in the morning at school and ate lunch! But just as I thought this day was very relaxed it was the end of the day and I dropped my phone on the sidewalk, cracking the screen!!! I was very mad because I was very careful with it till this day. After this incident, I decided to let it go in the moment and go workout! I was very proud of myself because I ran faster than my usual time. It was then closer to 6 when I had to leave for sparring class, where we did bon bons celebrating Master Hartles 50th! I then got home and ended the day with some homework!

Loving these nice cool morning . Had a awesome day, but looking forward to this weekend ( barbecue time) . will be cooking some ribs and more ribs.

today I did my retake on my writtin test and got 100%. yeah I am happy. and I worked on all the color belt with my mentor.

I took my retake written test today and got a 100! (happy dance) :-) I also had my second mentoring session and we went over high red and red belt self defense as well as Pal Chong. I still really need to practice though.

sparring class is so fun because you can beat people up. just kidding. it is fun because you can fight people and defend yourself.

Happy dance, happy dance, happy dance - -great day today!! Finally seeing the light of day on my desk and awesome class tonight. Looking forward to the weekend as I get a special surprise on Saturday - -more to come on that later. Night all, need some sleep - -thinking not much of that will happen over the weekend.

Today was a long day at school. It has also been a long first week of school. Tomorrow is Friday though so YAY!!! In tae Kwon do today we did our red and high red self defense, then our basic forms, then wang ho one. It was a good review.

Today i did mostly schoolwork but took two TKD classes, homeschool class and black belt class. I re-did my written at black belt class and red/High red self -defense. I got a 100 on my written and 6s on my self-defense. I didn't have to re-do anything else so i did both of those and then we practiced Wang-ho 1, basic forms 1,2,and 3, and sparring form defense. I got a Mentor session a Mentee session and a leadership 1 credit. I didn't do much otherwise but I did get some credit before and during the classes.

Today I got some extra homework for school so I didn't get finished with my requirements as early as I wanted to. I also got in a leadership 1 credit today.

Today I went to three classes, and the Masters really worked me out  I was sweating so much that I was glad to get home and watch the panthers game.
