Candidate Journals

Today I woke up and did my requirements for taekwondo. Then I watched a movie and then went on a walk. I was not feeling it today my back was hurting and my left knee is being over used but I will keep going!!! But then I played with my dog and sister! After that I watched a movie which i probably didn’t need to but I wanted to. Then I went to taekwondo and did roles and falls and bbc (which didn’t feel good on my back but I was fine)But then I came home and went on a walk and saw my friend! So we hung out for a while. Then I came back home and now I’m done for the day. GOOD NIGHT!! 

Today I woke up I got ready for school then I went to school I had math testing I also had another test then I did my student Council I won then I went to taekwondo after that I came home ate dinner now I’m reading peace 🌘

They woke up go to school for school I had pizza for lunch. After school I want to taekwondo I helped out with a little tigers class did rolls and falls in a black belt class got home ate dinner and that was most likely my day .see you later!

I woke up early and went to school then I had dinner early so after black belt class I went to a black glass concert then texted some friends. Good night everyone 😴💤.

Today i woke up and headed to school. During P.E. iplayed badminton and basketball. I went to after school where master opey was just damping to have a mentor session. But before that i played some beanbag toss or cornhole or whatever you call it, and i practiced rools, jump roles, and spin, falls. Then we had sparring class and i got hit by the almighty windmill. Okay i'm done now.

Today I woke up this morning and went to school. At school we learned about how the digestive system works and how it affects our body. Then I went running and finished my exercises. I had a good week at school. 

Hope everyone had a fantastic Friday and is excited for a super Saturday!!! Today I went to school and Did Dodgeball and PE. When I got off the bus, me and my mom went to get her allergy shots and then I run back home because we forgot my taekwondo pants! Afterwards, we went to Barnes and Noble and when we finished headed on over to Friday black belt class. When I got home, I ate dinner and hung out with my family! I hope it was a fantastic Friday for all and everyone is excited for memorial day weekend good night!!! P.S. Today is National Marshmallow day!!!  ~Magnolia~

Today was a good and rainy day because today at school I got my test back and got 100%. Also we did math outside which was so much fun. Also during taekwondo I was so exhausted that when I was done my legs hurt. After that I was supposed to go to the run but couldn’t because of the rain.  

Happy Friday. Tonight I went to sparring. I'm still not a fan, I don't like being hit in the head, I don't like the idea that being hit in the head is even allowed or 'ok.'  Storm is rolling in which means barometric pressure change, headach, ect..... Night all

Today was pretty routine so I won't talk about it a whole lot. After though, our Dad picked us up instead of our Mom so that was different but cool. I got home and did some homework and did my exercises at TKD and got a mentor session in and finished learning staff form 2. Anyway, I'm going to watch a movie and that's why I kept it brief, see you guys early tomorrow! Bye!

Today I did a 3:15am Amazon shift, then came home and did some requirements, then at work, I managed to finally complete a component that I've been working on for awhile. Just in time to relax for three days. Went to Black Belt class tonight, and plan on going again in the am.

Today, I woke up and went to school. I played basketball and had a bunch of quizzes and a unit test. I then went home and walked to TKD and took black belt class and we did staff and study guide. Then, I walked home and had dinner. Looking forward to a night of chores and relaxation. Goodnight.

Today was an amazing day. We stayed at a condo in Topsail, NC for the weekend. I completed most of my work requirements here and had a lot of fun. I hope you had a good day too.

Hello everybody, today I went to school and did everything and I am going to have a extra long weekend because I get Monday off, but then when we got home I chilled for a little and now I am going to do my exercises, bye.

Stretched well and completed requirements. Practiced multiple forms repeatedly. All the taeguks and advanced forms, taekwon forms, double stick forms, single stick forms, pyung police, kick-punch combinations. Spent about 30 minutes just kicking, tornado plus jump back, koryo double yups, step in yup, reverse tornado, etc.

Training day! I’ve noticed that I’m inadvertently using too much chi. Even though I believe I’m moving cautiously and slowly, I frequently watch myself either squeeze too tightly, or swing too quickly and thereby either cut myself or break something delicate.

Now that I feel a little better I imagine it could also have been my body clamoring for some rest after going close to full throttle for 6 straight weeks. Starting to get back on track.

today is Friday and the last day of the first week of school. The first week was good, I like most of my teachers except for my math teacher because she seems not to like people that much. Then I'm going to go hop on my Playstation and play some games and then I'll probably go to bed after that.

I started my school work early today because I knew we were having friends over this afternoon. Got my requirements in. We went to class tonight and I did punches and kicks.

Today we did school and had some friends over this afternoon. Then we went to class tonight. Only two more sparring classes for the cycle!!!

Today i was able to complete my mentorship of someone and the Leadership requirement. Feels good to start ticking boxes off. 

Thursday- last day at the beach, we had a free pass to the go-cart place and decided to use it before we left. We packed up early and hit the tracks around 11. I was impressed with everyone’s driving skills, especially considering the girls hadn’t really done anything like that before.  We left around 1:30 and made it back just in time for evening sparring. I’m glad we kept up on our requirements as well as we did but now I’ve got to keep focused and finish everything up before testing!

I know it's still Thursday, but I'm not going to lie-I am looking forward to having a long weekend.  I invited the parents of my Joshua's friend Joshua (yes, they have the same name) to go to the apple festival in Hendersonville this weekend and apple picking if we have time.  They are also a family of five so we will probably have to caravan if everyone goes. We may also be going to Lake Norman for black belt class Saturday since they are open.  We'll see how things go because of timing with getting Joshua to work that morning.  On a TKD note, I realized that my instructor skills need to be sharpened for the little distractible students.  I was given a group of three to work with tonight.  One focused well, and he seems to be a good student.  Student two-intelligent, asked questions, list focus half way through small...

  I didn't get as many Cycle requirements done during work as I did yesterday.  I was a bit busier and had more steady testing to accomplish so there was less time to slip in physical training.  I did manage to get the physical stuff done before I headed to the dojang, however.  Once I got there I had enough time to do some rolls and falls on the mats before leading warmups and helping with class. After we came home, we did our kick practice while dinner was cooking and afterwards it was time for self-defenses and poomsae.  Tomorrow is sparring class and then a rare dojang-free weekend.  Of course, with the Cycle at full swing, we still have to fit in requirements; we just don't have to dress out.

Today I woke up and went to school.  Then I went to first block which is earth and environmental science.  After that I went to advisory. Which is homeroom. After that I go to 2nd block on b days I go to business essentials. We had 3 easy assignments to do so I completed them in class.  We had a sub again in entrepreneurship.  Which was super boring class.  After that we had ELA.  We worked in our text book again today.   It was boring but easy.   Came home and played on my Xbox before going to sparring.  That was my day.   

I worked on self defense today with my mentor after school and came home to work on schoolwork. Couldn't do much else today but planning on working on much more tomorrow.

Today I helped out with the senior tigers class. We worked on poomsaes and adding onto white belt and yellow belt curriculum. I worked with the blue - high blue belts on oh-chang, making sure stances were worked on and we knew the application of the moves we were doing. After that I worked with my friend on some other blue belt work before I left.

Today i woke up a little late and went to school, at P.E. we played 4 team survivor tag. I went to after school and got a class assistance and leadership credit. I also worked on rolls and falls. ( mostly jump rolls and spin falls.) I got home and played video games then spent a solid 20 minutes on looking at every ones tracking. Okay i'm done now.

It was a pretty usual day today. Same ole same ole with the school. I got home and didn’t have much time before I had to get ready to go to sparring. I helped at the class before. Getting a snack and going to bed. 

Again, today was another very long day. School has definitely been taking a toll on me. I spent most of the day taking notes in my classes and starting all our new units. I came home, did a little bit of homework, then headed off to practice. At practice we did 4 hill combos (for anyone who doesn't know what they, it is 4 steep hills and 4 long gradual hills). I then came home, ate, and got ready for sparring class, which was good; except, my legs and mind were so tired I was struggling to stay standing. I then came home again, ate, and now I am here. 

Hi King Tiger Family. It was a good day. Made it to sparring and got done requirements done. Came home to a great meal and recharged. I really need to do more requirements but exhausted. I need to get some energy! Have a great evening. Take care. Carl

Today, I woke up for robotics and went to school. After school, I finished my requirements and ran for 2 miles. Also, I am going camping for Labor Day weekend. Have a good night.

Today I went to school which was fun, I learned a lot and we even had something we call a house meeting, which is a meeting that we have with our house system where we're split up at a middle and high school into houses, and we have house meetings. I'm in house Audacia and we had our first meeting of the year where we just talk about what we're going to do for the year. After we had a soccer game which we sadly lost, but then I went home and did my home work and just chilled for the rest of the night. 

Today, I woke up early and went for a run. After my run, I took a shower and had breakfast. I got to school and played basketball and reviewed for my quizzes and test tomorrow. After school, I went to work and got my last class assistance credit and a mentee and mentor session. I then took a sparring class. I went home for dinner and homework, goodnight.

Today after sparring I felt so sluggish. I did not want to do anything. 

I want to keep it short because it's late and I want to go to bed so today was great, I got to go to school and that was pretty fun and cool, after we went straight home and did our exercises then we went to TKD and did sparring class. We had my favorite for dinner, chicken pot pie so that was good too. Anyway, see you guys tomorrow at Black Belt class! Bye!

Today I woke up and got ready for school after school my mom yelled at my dad for letting me wear some thingAfter that we went to tae kwon do I did my white belt challenge and went to sparring class then we got Jimmy John’s then we came home and finishing my Jimmy John’s and now I’m eating ice cream peace ☮️ 

Today I woke up got ready for school today was a pretty fun day at school I did some requirements there under Wasp Nest that didn’t know it was there until two minutes later kid said hey this Wasp nest under the slide. then I try to capture butterflies ( it didn’t work) then I went to taekwondo did my white belt challenge did what’s it called again spin class and then I went home ate dinner ice cream that’s pretty much my day. See you later peace out y’all🧍🏽🧎🏽!!

Today I went to school then went did my homework then went to sparring and did my requirements then had dinner.

Hello everyone, I did the usual and did school got things turned in and yeah, but when I went to sparring nd I went to spare Cooper. Then when I sparred him Our knees collided and it hurt, I hope everyone had a good day, bye.

I am tired today. I have been coughing some this week. Season changing always gets me allergies. I am still getting up 30 minutes earlier to get some requirements done before school. One thing I have noticed is my knees and wrist are popping. My knees still hurt when I run. But it nice to see some of requirements hitting the zero mark. Since TWD is closed Saturday, I may use this time to work on my history essay.

Today I woke up and I went to school which was fun. We learned about the digestive system and change over time data which was cool. Then after school I went to agility training with my team which was fun and I felt like I got faster. Last after agility I did my run and my exercises. Overall today was a good day.

Wow..the end of August.  Feels like yesterday we were getting our books. Had a good day. My 2nd graders are beginning to learn and follow my expectations, rules, and procedures. Went to junior Tigers class and assisted.  Master Randall had a large class, so I'm happy I was able to help.  Tomorrow is Friday...Yay! Not only do I have sparring,  but my mentee will be at sparring too! Super excited to be in class with her.  Time to cuddle with my fur babies. Night all. 

It's Thursday, and I've been neglecting my journals. This week has been super busy at work, and Dylan and I are getting used to his new school schedule. Hopefully next week will be smoother. Goint to sparring tonight and then finishing up a few requirements. Looking forward to the weekend.

This morning, I was able to complete a majority of my requirements. Whew!! My emotions during this cycle are like a yo-yo. I have a love-hate relationship with Taekwondo right now. I will keep it moving though. On another note....I do not usually talk about it, but I am a sponsor with PlanUSA. It is a great organization that supports children in need, especially helping them to attend school and improve their living conditions. I did sponsor a girl from Mozambique for 10 years, but she turned 18 earlier this year and aged out. Now, I sponsor 4 children from Benin, Haiti, Cambodia and Sudan. My goal is to correspond with them once a month. I like to send coloring pages and stickers. Afterwards, I will watch a few videos for school and then head out to the dojang. Have a good day/night!!

Im about to go to school and i've been thinking about ways to earn money and I thought about selling gum at school and on the bus. I helped my friend sell snacks in elementary but he shut it down because there werent many sales. but im gonna give it a shot. school has been going good though and i havent had much homework except delta math and a vocabulary sheet for Social studies. My sister is coming home from college tomorrow for labor day weekend. My mom is cat sitting and the cat is shy but cute. 

Wednesday- a third good day at the beach, headed back tomorrow. Spent the morning on the beach, and most of the afternoon in the pool and relaxing on our balcony. I ended up doing 2 miles once the sun went down. It was much more pleasant. I’ve also decided sam Chong is boring and that’s why I always try to mix another poomsae with it. See everyone at sparring!

Good morning and goodnight. Going to bed to prepare for work tonight. I got my requirements done, so that a nice relief off my chest when I wake up. Decided to journal before bed too because I will forget to when I wake up. After finishing my requirements, I worked on continuing education material that was available from work. Evening thou I am done with school for the moment I still want to work on building my knowledge and skill up.

Late getting this out. Today was kind of a wash. Had a lot of obligations to take care of this evening that prevented me from jogging or doing any requirements. Its 1:42am and will still be doing my hour of Poomsae later while i'm working though so i guess its not all a loss. 

Today was the 3rd day of school and it wasn't even that bad. I like most of my classes except for math because my teacher doesn't seem to like me. Then I got home and went to master Evins black belt class. Then I went home and now I'm going to sleep.

Went to Lake Norman to get some leadership credits, and then I went to North Charlotte to do black belt class. Always has creative ways to challenge kicks. I’m really happy with my tornado. Then a few of my friends wanted to go rollerskating tonight. We just finished that up so now I’m home, and then I’ll probably head to the gym to work on some requirements for Thursday. It’s kind of a tricky thing about Having a night schedule, I’m very limited when I can go running, unless I go do the treadmill (I’m not a big fan of). So sometimes I’ve been running at midnight, but I’ve been told I’m not allowed to do that anymore for my safety. Which is fair.

Today I spent 3.5 hours at the DMV to get my license renewed. 😭😭😭 Then we went to chat tonight and assisted. 

It was extremely hot today, the sun really didn't let up. I attempted to nap when I got home from school, but it didn't go too well. So I just went to the dojang to help out with class, take class, and do some mentor/mentee sessions. We did lots of self defense today.

Today was a good day, which is surprising given that we mostly spent the day spinning our wheels at work.  Fortunately, the issue was tracked down and resolved, freeing us up to move on to the things we're supposed to be doing.  Ironically, it wasn't even anything our team had done - it was a third party issue. On the Cycle side of things, I got almost everything done before I left for the dojang - only kicks left to do and I got those done before coming home.  With 18 minutes to cover with both forms and self-defenses, we're just about to the point where I can practice everything I know without going too far over the 'limit'.  It does make me glad that I'm "only" testing for 3rd Dan; it seems like there's a lot of new forms to learn between 3rd and 4th.  Fortunately, I don't need to...

In black belt class we ended up in groups of three doing self defenses. If you were in the middle you were defending.  Your partners were attacking two different self defenses, although not at the same time.  It was a good mental exercise and made you really think about what to do next.  I wish we had gotten to do weapons tonight, but not every night is a weapon class (unfortunately).  I have the next few moves of my creative form down, but I really need to practice outside because I keep hitting the ceiling fan twirling the staff.  I'm going to accidentally break a light bulb and it's hard practicing in the dark when you are trying to make up a new form.

So I forgot to set an alarm and my mom woke me at 7:20. It only took me 20 min to get ready so I had a little less than an hour of free time before I had to go to school.   Tomorrow I am going to get up earlier so I have more time before I have to catch the bus. After school I took class I could only stay for 1 class today because I had baseball practice.  I think I might be one of the better outfielders on the team.   😉. And when I was done I went to circle k to get some some snacks.   We are all caught up today.  I will see ya tomorrow.  ✌️ 

Today I woke up and I went to school. At school I did a packet in my first block and we worked on it all class.  I went to the assembly where they talked about punishments about not following the rules.  After that I went to second block were I learned to use excel.  I watched some videos to get closer to taking the skill challenge.  Then I went to third block. We had a sub and had a packet to do which was easy.  In Ela we worked in our text books. Then I went to work where I helped with some classes and got a leadership credit.  I am tired and going to bed early tonight.  

Today I woke up and did my requirements for taekwondo! Then I went to the beach! Then I went to the pool! Then I did some more of my requirements and did some cleaning. Then I packed up a bit because I am going back home tomorrow. Then i went to the pool and watched a movie now I am done for the day! GOOD NIGHT!!!!

Helped out with the wang-ho class today. In black belt class we worked on some bocho+ self defense and master Evans snuck in some color belt work as well.  

Today is the 47th journal. Also I had a test and got that done and got my homework done too which is due Friday. And I have to wake up at 6:30 in the morning to get some requirements done. Waking up earlier seems to help with the evening rush.

Today, I woke up, did my requirements, and went to school. After school, I finished my homework, assisted a junior class, attended a black belt class, and got a mentor session done. After the classes, I went home and got other requirements done. Have a good night.

I woke up and I still got COVID so I did not go to school. I did my exercise then stayed in bed played some games, and watched tv and some YouTube then I played some guitar. Good night everyone 😴💤.

Had a good day today. School went well, I'm really enjoying my kiddos and my team. I need to take pictures of my room. Went to blackbelt class tonight. Volunteered to show a 1st Dan self-defense. I never volunteer in class, but thought I would try. It took a couple tries, but I got it correct. Yay for me. I hope I didn't embarrass my mentor because I messed up.   

Today i woke up, ate some eggs, and went to school.During  P.E. I played king of the castle and lost miserably. (i was playing with 9th graders leave me alone :c) I went to after school and and took regular class. Then I helped out with the senior tigers class and got a Leadership credit and Class assistance. i black belt class and worked on self defense I got complimented on my spin fall. I came home, showered,  and ate dinner. Okay i'm done now.

Today I woke up this morning and went to school. At school we learned about the digestive system which was pretty cool and in math we learned about change overtime data which was fun. Then I had a baseball practice with my team. Last I went home and I did my exercises and my running 🏃‍♂️ after that I went to bed. Overall today was a great day.

Good night everyone. I just got back from midweek at my church, we learn about our reason for being alive, I saw a fellow belt belt candidate, Abraham. I had a "quiz e poo as my teacher Mr. Timmerson calls it in history. Hope everyone had a good day. Night 

Today I woke up and went to school after school we came home and dad said we could have a one day break from taekwondo so he made hotdogs and hamburgers after we ate we put it on the TV show then we got ice cream then we went on our mile run we did some Burpee’s and planks Then we did everything else and that’s all for my day peace ✌️ 

Today I woke up and got ready for school. After school I didn’t show up to taekwondo today I don’t know why but my dad said we can we’re gonna stay home. After I got home from school I came for dinner we ate and then we did our mile run and we got home we did our planks At school I did some of my requirements.  That was my day today see you next journal.

Today I went to school then went home after that I went to soccer and I had chikfila.

Today, I woke up bright and early and took a shower. I then had breakfast and headed to school. At school, I had a basketball lesson in gym, did some notes on irregular verbs in Spanish, did a paper in Bio, had some lunch and played a little handball, went to civics and took a ton of notes, headed to English where we continued reading Lord of the Flies, and then to math where we played games reviewing for tomorrow and I got a doughnut :). After school, I didn't have work today so I spent the afternoon cleaning. I then had dinner and now I am here. Tonight, I will do chores, homework, and more stuff for the cycle. Goodnight everyone.

Hello everyone, today I got up and went to school and I think that I am doing pretty good in Social Studies because I have been getting everything memorized. Then after school I went and did my exercises then only I went to TKD and got a mentee session, then I went home. I hope everyone had a good day, bye.

So today I got up and had some breakfast and then I did some school work and then we did morning time and then I finished my school work and worked on  the grit workbook and then I worked on one of my essays and then my mom went to the DMV to get our car license plate registered at least I think that's what it was something like that but anyway we finished watching onward and we watched Luca and then my mom went to the store and got broccoli for the teriyaki chicken tonight and now I'm here journaling

I think I got close to the peak then fell back down a few flights. If resting is prohibited that is, because I totally took today off and hope to recover soon. I must have caught a flu, or food poisoning. It’s been a series of stomach pains, combined with holistic body soreness.

Practiced at the park today with the team. Staff forms, in depth bocho and bocho special self defenses, and the second special. It was a day filled with soreness of some sort. I keep bumping into things and cutting pieces of myself away! Wonder if thats a sign of overflowing chi! Need to find that Ying yang!

I went to Dollar Tree this morning with my Mom. It is difficult for me to buy items at a regular store when I know I can get them cheaper here….just cannot do it. I found some Absorbine Jr. back patches that have menthol. You think I bought one? Heck, yeah!!!! I bought six! I am trying one now and it feels great. The Tylenol and ibuprofen was not taking care of my low back pain alone. I have been doing more back stretching to try and alleviate the back pain, but I think I was making it worse…so hold off on the stretching for now in that area. I feel much better since yesterday. Definitely not trying to miss another day since I have too much to add to tracking today….black belt class, class assistance, mentor session, mentee session and possibly warmup. Until next time….peace out!

Tuesday- Great day today, ran 2 miles this morning. The humidity here really makes that hard. Then we spent all on the beach. I’m a little more crispy than I would like, keeping up with everything is hard!

Pretty good day was able to help with the kids class in the afternoon and get that credit for class assistance. Had a good class and mentor session with Mr. Woods and we worked on Hapkido 1. Wasn't able to run as it got late and had other obligations. Plan on upping my jog to 5 miles per to help catch up esp on Saturday and Sunday. 

Hi King Tiger Family. It was a pretty good day. Got a good run in. I will be running a 10K In a few weeks. My first one. I have done a bunch of 5K, so we shall see. Running with my daughter (Lexi), so I am not alone. She will push me! I am excited. Got some requirements done and now writing this. Have a great night. Take care

My first full day of what the rest of the cycle is going to look like. School, TKD, Requirements, and sleep. Even though its stressful I think the more I get used to this schedule the easier it will become.

Today I woke up and my friend drove me and one of my other friends to school.  We got there at about 7 and started the day in first block it was boring. After 90 min I went to study hall. I had nothing to do so I just talked to my friend.  Then I went to 2nd block.  I have the same teacher for 2nd block all year.   That room is really really cold.  I went fro 3rd block for 20 mins and then went to lunch.  At lunch I saw more friends as well as the people I rode to school with.  We finished up 3rd block after lunch.  Then I went to 4th block which is ELA. We didn’t do much. I came home and took a nap.  Then I went to baseball practice.   

I wish I knew what I did to my knee, but apparently I angered it in class sometimes yesterday.  I got up in the middle of the night and realized that a) my knee felt stiff and wouldn't bend and b) I couldn't put weight on it.  I had to do some weird one legged limp shuffle to the bathroom, rub some voltaran gel on it, fall back into bed, and pray that the morning found it more cooperative.  It was a bit better in the morning but still stiff.  Between Voltaran and ibuprofen I was able to get three miles in walking, but not at top speed.  I also saw a very friendly black cat along the way who insisted I stop and pet it.  I made it to guitar (yea!) but was late because I had to swing by and give Samuel ibuprofen because he fell and sprained his...

Got up this morning and picked up where I left off yesterday with work.  Things were pretty busy and I didn't get my physical requirements finished until almost 5pm. I misplaced my book in the kitchen so I didn't get a chance to get to the dojang to help with class; instead I got there in time to get ready for the adult color belt class.  We spent a lot of time on Hwarang, Yi Jang, Sa Jang, Yuk Jang, and Pal Jang.  It was a good refresher and a reminder that I should practice all the color belt forms regularly.  As we get deeper into the Cycle, I know I'll probably wind up covering every poomsae I know at least once a day but even now, it wouldn't hurt to revisit all these forms more regularly than I have been. After class we had PMAA and worked on Knife C. ...

Hey all, today as I got to color belt class, I did class assistance and had a mentorship for staff forms 1&2 with master marcus which is important to understand for staff form 3. When I came back home I practiced those some more with my sticks, did requirements, some homework, reading and just relaxed for midnight.

Today is going to be short but sweet.  I have to go bed soon.  Today I went to school. My new normal.  Then after I got ready and went to scouts.  We got pizza after scouts. I got home did some requirements and now it is bed time.  

Another week of classes and I've finally caught up. Need to keep this pace and maybe stretch ahead of material if possible.

Today was another long day. Woke up for school, which was good. I then came home and did my online classes. I followed that by doing a few requirements before going to my run club. I had an easy day today and was just preparing my legs for Thursday's workout. I then came home, ate, did a few more requirements, and now I am here. 

Today, I had to wake up earlier than usual to go to robotics. I normally get my requirements done in the morning, but I woke up to late today. After school, I did homework, did my requirements, and ran for 2 miles. Have a good night.

Today I woke up to go to school which was a good day we learned a lot. One of my favorite classes is humanities and Biology, we always do some fun stuff in those classes even though I do get a lot of home work which usually takes a while to finish. After that I went home to do home work then I went to class and helped out and did some requirements and now I'm just chilling with my family.

As I have mentioned before, I am still getting use to getting out later for middle school. I have felt rushed and there was so little time. This morning I woke up at 6:20 with the goal of getting most of my requirements done. My body was not used to exercising so early. It was tiffed than I thought. But this evening I had more time for homework and time to relax before trail life. I may try getting up earlier the rest of the week to see if it makes a difference.

School was a little bit overwhelming today but I got through it. I am getting tired of doing everything, however, I can't do anything about it since I've already started. Ended the day by catching up on tracking and some homework.

Today I woke up and did my Requirements for taekwondo. Then went On a run then went to the beach! Then to The pool then Came back to! Then I. Went to a dinner which was like a pirate show and a dinner while you’re watching it was really good! I had a lot of fun I’m done for the day. GOOD NIGHT!! 

Today I have COVID and it SUCKS!! 😩I basically just stayed home and did my exercise then stayed in bed and watched TV and YouTube almost all day. Good night 😴💤 

Today I woke up and then I packed up and went to school after school I went to taekwondo I helped out with the class I took a class and got a leadership credit for doing punches and kicks then I came home ate my mama’s yummy pastellios then we started watching a movie called into the woods on Disney+ then I got to make ice cream now I’m doing my journal Peace ✌️.

I was simply exhausted today. I wanted to go to the dojang today, but my body said NO 😵…and I have to listen. I will be able to start fresh tomorrow 😅. Nighty-night!!

Today was my first history test.  I studied so much last night.  I cooked it - I knew every single answer by heart.  I know I will get a good grade.  Tonight at taekwondo I worked with Asa on Poomsae's and Instructor Courtney on staff form 2.  When I got home I had rice, salmon, avocado and spinach.  For my monthly challenge I'm eating a vegetable each day.  Have a great day.  I hope you do good on your history test, too!

Today was my second day of school. After school I went to TKD. then came home and did some requirements.

Today, I accidentally slept in so I had to hurry to get ready. At school, I started a movie with questions in health, did a quiz in Spanish, did some notes and a small assignment in biology, had lunch, did a small paper in civics, worked on some assignments in ELA, and then had a mini quiz in Math. I went to work after school and got a class assistance credit, leadership credit, and a mentee session. I also had some refreshers on bolo and staff form two, and learned staff form three. I went home for a night of dinner, chores, and homework. Goodnight everyone.

Today i woke up and went to school. I played dodge ball during P.E. I went to after school and got my requirements done after class. I got a session in with my mentee and then went home. I went to the gym today to triple my requirements, my arms feel like noodles. Getting better at the boxers skip, jump roping is very fun. Okay i'm done now.

My mentee meet up / session was a success! I have a new mentee due to losing my other due to camp ending. We worked on her form, reviewed self-defense number 1-3, and learned number 4. More exciting news, she will also be coming to sparring on Fridays!!   Junior belts are fun to work with. They want to soak up all the knowledge and enjoy practicing their form more than twice.
