This Week I Have Doing My White Belt Challenge. I Have Also Been Helping Out A lot, Getting My Leadership Credits. My Little Brother Started This Week So I Get To Stand Beside Him In Line.

School has already started assigning worksheets for all subjects. It is review from the year prior but a little surprising from getting that much that quick.

It was another early morning with my MCC class today! I got to learn why people dream at night and sleeping patterns! After the long day at school, I went to a Study group for AP calculus and then TKD! Directly after, I had to go to the airport to pickup my dad from Boston!!

Feeling good today. Was able to do some catch up work on some tree trimming around my yard and the common area for the neighborhood. Will have to do the major tree trimming when winter comes.

Today I ran my usual mile run with my brother. I also took my dog Chip for a walk and found out about someone in my neighbor hood losing their dog. :-(

today I did a mile and it is getting easier and I have been working on pull ups

Today i didn't feel too good so i didn't do much black belt cycle.

I watched the movie The Muppets today. It was funny. I also did my requirements for black belt cycle. Our homeschool class at Tae Kwon Do started back yesterday. It was a lot of fun. We had some new students in class.

Another awesome day today. Body is feeling good , now I just need to keep it that way. Looking forward to tomorrow workout in the morning. Back with the Masters , school is back in.

It was a late start this morning. I got to get up at 8 am to go to school, because I didn't have my MCC class this morning! I only had to leave at 9:15 to reach my school! After school let out I went straight to exercise and then PMAA class!

Today I helped out with class and technically got my first leadership 1 credit. I also took BBC and I to work on Pow Chong and red+ high red belt self defense. I got my mentee, think its called, and I really look forward to working with her. :-)

I am have trouble with finding time to do my run. I have fit everything else in but running has been pushed away. I am going to try to get up earlier.

Great class tonight in South Charlotte - -lot's of focus on back to the basics. Did not get as much done as would have liked but hey it is what it is. Sometimes things do not always go as planned so just have to roll with it and be confident it will all work out in the end.

today I went to bbc and we learned all about pow chon. and now I now what I was doing wrong.

Tuesday is going to be a busy day becuase of school and TKD plus my late bus. I had a fun day at school today I now have 4 teachers instead of 3 so I have to do more travling around the school ... awesome!!!!!! :P

Today has been a long day first I got up and went to school then when that was finally over I went home and just listened to music then I went to TKD and I got a mentor and a black belt class in but I forgot to do my white belt challenge again.

Today I got a BBC in and we practiced a lot of self defenses.

Wow! Busy week last week and super busy day today with the start of CMS school! We had a lot of new kiddos and new schools that we were picking up from.....it was super busy, so I did not get a lot of requirements done. But I will try and make up for it tomorrow. Can't wait to start training again with Master Evins and the other Master Instructors. We always suspend our training during the summer. Great job from everyone this weekend for the physical tests......a lot of you need to retake the written part.....make sure you study up and get that done this week!

today I had a physical doctor test thing because of my exchange student from last year we had to get tested for TB (Tuberculoses) also had to have I blood test and a bunch of other stuff

What a beautiful day it was today, the weather was perfect. I felt like Goldilocks ,it was just right. And the body felt good, I was able to take class to night.

Great black belt class tonight, thank you Master Chin. Major review of Pal Gwe Il, Yi & Sam now lets see if my brain can retain it or tomorrow will show the senior moment.

I am still really sore from the physical two days ago. I did well all except that I have to redo the written part.

Mondays, uug, today I did not want to get up for school but I did and I hade a good day at school and after school I ate at earth fare. after that I went to the park and did and essay and my requirements while my sister was in gymnastics.

Today was the 1st day of school. I got my running & half my requirements done before school then managed to get everything else done after class, take 3 classes and get a Mentee session in. It has been a good day.

Mon August 25Th. Today Was A Relaxing Day For Me. Most Of My Friends Went Back To School Today But I don't Start Until Next Week. I Got To Do A Lot Of Work On My Tae Kwon Do.

Yesterday I went to a Virginia Tech soccer game at Davidson College.  It was very exciting because my friends and I got a chance to be ball kids for the game.  The best part was being on the field, close to the players.  The Hokies won 4 - 0.

Today was my first day of school for me. It was weird getting up so early I just need to get used to the getting up like that :D.

Two days ago everybody took their pre-test. I did well except i have to re-do my written test.

My day today started off pretty late because I had woken up, not at my usual 9:30 am, but instead I got up at around 11:30 today. I had gone straight to the gym to finish my requirements after waking up. It wasn't an interesting day, I had finished some summer assignments and prepared for the first day of school tomorrow!

Today I went to see the new movie When The Game Stands Tall. It was all about football. It was such a great movie, I really enjoyed going with my mom and grandma. Later I mowed the lawn and got school supplies ready.

Yesterday we had our black belt pretest. And today my legs were sore. :-) So me and my brother went over red belt self defense as well as what we didn't know on the written test. Hopefully we'll get it next time.

really sore today from the kettle bell squats and triceps biceps and deltoid workout hamstrings are killing me and my quads are really hurting so I hope I get better

Today I did the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge because I was nominated by my friend Kat. The water was super cold. I was shaking for a few minutes after I did it. But it was fun and if I am nominated again I will do it.

Today I went to church then came home. I didn't feel like doing my exercises and it caused an argument with me & my mom but I eventually got over it and changed my attitude then everything went really well. My mom & I try to make it fun by timing my requirements and setting challenges. It was cool outside today and the wind was blowing so that made my running easier. I am excited about school tomorrow but know it is going to be really hard to get my requirements in with school, homework & taekwondo class so I am nervous. My plan is to get up really early and do some of my requirements before school.

tomorrow is the day I start the first day of middle school. I am so excited. im also very nervous.

I went to church this morning and then worked on one of my essays. I worked on my physical requirements.

Today was my first time babysitting my little brother with nobody home. I am really glad my parents trusted me. I have wanted them to trust me for a long time. I hope I get to do this again. My brother does too.

It has been non stop all day an with a lot of luck hope to have the house in order, along with dinner, before guests arrive. Yikes another 10 hours in the day would be really helpful along with the house and laundry fairy - -hey a girl can wish - - - -.

Today is my last day of Summer break I have been enjoying it as much as I can. I hope everyone else has been too.

i was very sweaty at the pre-test yesterday and did not get to go to the flea market. So this morning me and my dad went to the flea market and got a case for his phone. When we got home my grandmother did a ASL challenge and picked me to do it too so I was wet and cold. GGGGGGOOOOOOO ASL!!!!!!

Today was the pre-test and I am really relieved to have it behind me. Now it's time to focus on improving and being ready for the real test. After class & pre-test I went to Belmont to help Master Shin with abirthday party and had a lot of fun then as soon as the party was over I went shopping all night with my mom & sister. We took a day off from requirements to rest since I had the pre-test and we needed to go shopping. It has been a good day but I am tired.

Today was the black belt pretest. I think I did good on but it was hard.

Today Was The Pre Test For Our Black Belt Cycle. My Favorite Part Was The Running. It Was Harder Than I Thought It Would Be!

So today was the pre test congratulations to everyone for completing it and good luck to you on the rest of the cycle it WILL be hard but we'll pull through all you have to do is push your self beyond the limits work till your dripping sweat or tears thats what I do i go out side or to the gym and say I'm going to work till I'm half dead then that will be my beginning. Now to the motivational part...There was a young man who wanted so badly to be successful so he went to this guru and said I want to be successful like you, so the guru said "ok meet me at the beach tomorrow." So the man went to the beach at 4:00 AM he went in a suit, The guru was standing out in the water and he said "come into the water." so...

What a great day seeing everyone at pre test and all did awesome!! Some body parts just keep snapping, crackling, popping and saying hey what are you doing to me. After this weekends other obligations will finally have some time freed up to focus more on cycle requirements. All is good!!!

i am so tired! the pre test was so tiring. it was king of challenging.

that pretest today was sweaty and stressing. that plank position left made me sweat.

Getting ready to head to north charlotte to do my pre test. I think I am ready. I am excited and nervous at the same time. I hope I do well.

today I did a lot of roll and I am getting the hang of it

Today was our closing program at summer camp. I got to do a mime dance to The Anthem. It was really good. Everyone really liked my classes dance. I had so much fun at summer camp this year. I can't wait until next summer. August 22, 2014

Feeling awesome today. Still a little tight on the neck but need to do my requirements. Talk to my goddaughter today , i will be doing a Cancer Walk in Sacramento with her and her sisters and her mom who is fighting cancer in October.

Today I was nominated by my friend to do the ice bucket challenge and now I'm cold and wet go ALS

today I went to black belt class and I learned what my self defence is. and I met with my metor. we woked on poomsaees.

Yes yes yes I can know turn my head to the left and almost to the right. The best part of today is I had my first meeting with two of my mentees. Not bad , I love doing this part of the cycle.

Have been away for a while and first class back tonight. Thanks Master Chin and Inst. Hsin I did my best to keep up but mind and body still mush and will take a few days to get back in motion. I know I am way behind but I will catch up- -guess I am use to challenges. Night all I am tired and desperate for some sleep.

Today we went to play laser tag during summer camp. Later during sparring we had class outside, which was really fun. But the problem of today is I had a cold all day.

Today was my first mentor session. It was fun in a way. I liked it. I can't wait for the next one. I DON'T WANT TO WAIT A WHOLE WEEK!!!!

This is my last journal. I think I've changed a lot since the cycle began. Now doing my requirements goes along with eating, sleeping and breathing and comes naturally to me. I think I've gotten stronger because I've been able to shoot a basketball farther. I think I've become more responsible but I'm not as responsible as I can be all the time.

Today was a good day. Got all of my requirements done and a little extra. Pretty happy. just so u guys know, my school started on the 14th, so i am juggling homework and requirements + instruments. >~

Thurs August 21, 2014. I Had A Great Day At Camp Today. It Was Crazy Sock Day. My Socks Were Funny!

Today I'm doing research on jumprope exercise it turns out that if you do it right it can build muscle, and burn more calories than running so I guess if you jump rope while running you will burn ALOT of calories

Today my brother was doing soo many rolls we ended up doing a competition "who could role the most". I didn't exactly win. Oh well failing is just another reason to try harder. I shall win!!!!!!

today I did a walk the dog and I learned not to put him in water. and now he smells.

It was 6:30 am when my day had started; I had to get up for my 7:30 psychology class at Mitchell community college! It was another good class and ended a little early! After class, with my two friends, I went to the north lake mall for some back to school shopping! It was quite successful with many sales! I then went to the gym and finished my requirements and after went straight to my TKD class at 7, where I realized I needed to practice on my rolls.. a lot!!

Feeling better today. If you run a business remember customer service, customer service, customer service. Went to two different businesses this week, one use to be a big name, now I know why they are losing business. The second one was a small business ,they won't have my business again.And they are going to eat the cost of what i ordered for them. Went on line and will have my part in two days. Waited for a week and then was told they may have to back order it, someone forgot to do their job.

Today I went over to my friends house. Then I went to my school and help my mom. then when I got home I finished up my requirements.

Today I practiced timing my pretest requirements and running again and got every accomplished again so I am starting to feel better about the pretest on Saturday. This afternoon I only took 1 taekwondo class because I have church but I did get a mentee session.

I'm kind of nervous about the test on Saturday. I need to practice pushups, v situps and situps. I feel like I'm going to do okay with the curriculum.

Yesterday I tried out for soccer. I made the first cut. One kid in my grade did not make it. I felt really bad for him. I can't wait for the next cut and I really hope I make it.

Wednesday August 20, 2014 Today I got to hang out with some friends I have not seen in a while and later I will be going to Tae Kwon Do in Mint Hill to practice for Saturday.

Today I ran 4 miles down to the pier at the beach it was kinda hard sience the sand makes your heal lower than your toes but its better for your posture its 10:39 and im realy tired from my requirements. See ya

Today in BBC I learnt that I have been doing a self defense completely wrong. Though the good news is that I found out before the black belt pre test, so hopefully I wont make that mistake there. Then at the family class I had my first white belt challenge day and it wasn't exactly the same as I thought. (I thought I was just going to keep doing bochadon stuff and the only difference was I had to line up in the back) But it was different, all I could work on was white belt things. Don't get me wrong I really enjoyed pretending to be white belt all over again, I just didn't think that is what was going to happen. :-)

today I worked on self defense and I did really good exempt green belt that is tough for me because I did not pratice

Stuff I have not use in a long time, found their way to me today. Tiger balm , all day pain relief, heating pad. Will see what tomorrow will bring. Sunshine and a happy man.
