Candidate Journals

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

Today I took a basic life support class to refresh my skills before I start my job. It went really well; I've done one almost every year for nursing school. My chest compressions have gotten better depth wise and rhythm. Hopefully later this year or next year, I can get my Advance life support certification, which teaches more medical interventions to recover from cardiac arrest or respiratory problems. I've been running with Braxton in the afternoon, it's been a nice way to make sure I get runs in. I practice my jump and hurricane kicks. My mentee and a few other kids are doing a demo for a school competition. So we gave them critics and started working with them on doing Koryo in sync.   

Let’s take a quick shift. I had a doctor’s appointment today and I was told that this Friday that I will see an orthopedist for my knee. Yep, 2 weeks since I wrote about my knee and still nothing has changed. I got 12 minutes of Poomsae in for my week 4 requirements and let pain carry me to my homework. Having 5 classes worth of homework was exhausting, but hey I got it all done. I am taking a shower and going to bed, awaiting whatever happens tomorrow. Although I have a gut feeling it won’t go well…..

I had a pretty good late night workout.  I'm really trying to get the workouts in early in the morning...preferably at 06:00.

Today I went to school and went out to eat with my family for my dads birthday.

Today I woke up and got ready for school. I had my final two midterms today. So far I have kept an "A" in all my classes. Afterschool I hung out with my girlfriend for a little bit then went to run club. I got to hang out with my friends but because of my swollen achilles, I wasn't able to run today. I got to talk with my coach about how to rehab and help it heal by Saturday for my next race. I then came home, ate, and did a contrast bath. After warming up I finished off some requirements, did some rehab stuff, and got ready for bed. Now I am here. 

I got in 3 miles this afternoon. With rain headed this way, I'm glad I got a little extra in yesterday and today. Typical Tuesday. Work, bb requirements, and took Jovi to his rock band practice. I'm doing deep stretching every evening to try and increase flexibility. Hope everyone had a great day. 

Hello King Tiger! Today was a day I felt depressed. Probably because the weather was very depressing. Anyways, I got back home, did homework, and did some requirements while listening to music. i am going to start my last part for my 3rd essay tomorrow. I am getting much more better at the requirements, which I think is an improvement. Got to go to sleep now.....

Hello cyclers! School was cool today because we got to watch a play about black history. It was only two actors in the whole play, but it was enjoyable. The two actors were very skilled, and you can tell that they've been acting for a while. At the end of it all, kids got to ask questions. I didn't really like that part because one, I didn't get called on for my question and two, there were a lot of bad questions like "what's behind the curtain?" or "how old are you guys?". It's not that they're bad questions, it's just that they're not very interesting. My question was about how people liked the show when they performed it in other countries since it's about African American history and people from other countries may not know the history. But like I said, they didn't pick me. Overall, the play was really good ,...

Was not very energetic.  Stayed up too late watching football playoffs.  Continued to work on the forms.  Hoping for warmer weather this week so I can run outside.     

I hit the gym at work at the end of the day.  Noticing my times and reps are not dramatically increasing from by pre-test levels.  I am doing more pushups, but not a ton more.  Jump rope is about the same, although some days I can do about 10% more.   My pull ups have actually decreased due to arthritis in my hands.  I will keep working on it all.  I appreciate the goals to give me something to shoot for.  

I spent the entire day at work hosting a planning session for 20 people in a basement conference room.  No windows, florescent lighting.  Following the planning marathon, I hosted an after-work event for every who was stuck in the planning meeting.  Definitely needed the chance to work out after dinner with the family.  Very grateful for my wife encouraging me to go to the gym tonight.  

Short one tonight because I am tired and had a long day.  First I went to school.  Then I went to King Tiger, I did my black belt stuff and helped out in class, and I also ran a mile with Instructor Courtney! Then it was off to scouts, where we got to get our Pinewood derby cars cut out!  Now I am off to bed!!

Today was nothing out of the ordinary. As usual i got up got ready and went to school. At school we didn’t really do anything exciting except in Pe we started the badminton tournament. once I got Home i ate a snack and did my requirements did some homework and went to basketball practice at practice coach mad us practice boxing out and stuff like that once i came home I ate dinner and now I have to shower and go to sleep.

I went to school this morning and I thought that it was going to snow today but it ended up not. I ran my mile on the playground at school. When I got home I ran another mile on the treadmill and worked on some of my requirements. I didn't have class tonight but I went to TKD and helped the senior tigers with warmups and I helped hold targets while they practiced their kicking. I had a mentor session with Master Foster and got my pull ups and jump ropes done.

Today was really good! I'm went to the gym and got everything double done except running. But that was all my day was. I hope everyone had a great day and stay safe.   S3:E4: Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You) - Kelly Clarkson:  I give the song a 5/5 this song rocks! I loved it and it was very encouraging and an overall great song to listen to! That's all from me, stay safe!

Hello!  Today I went to school and had fun, after school I went home and did my homework, for some reason my teacher gave me materials to study but she made the test tomorrow.  So I had to study that a lot, after that I ate dinner before I went to class today.  Today I took both the 5:15 and the 6:00 class, and after that mee and 2 other people practiced for the talent show I have at school.  When I got home I ate a small snack then did my exercises.       Have a nice night or day!!!

I am not enjoying precalc. However, I think it is just how the first unit played out, as the next unit seems a lot more interesting. Probably complicated, but at least I'll be able to enjoy problem solving instead of having to repeat things in this first review unit. I have a math test that starts tomorrow and ends on Thursday, so that will be interesting. I am reviewing my work and hoping I can connect the dots by tomorrow morning.

Today was another normal day. I woke up, wen't to school, and came back home and did my requirements. I also did well on my science test and now have all A's again.

Hello! Today after school my family and I went to the local gym and I did 3 miles, and then straight after that I had to go back home, had a quick snack and my mom took me for the 6pm TKW for class. When I got there I did some leadership credit. Back home I ate again and got everything ready for tomorrow and ready for bed. Night night

Today I had my second test and it was a math test this time instead of a reading one. I feel like I did pretty good and I am confident as well. After school I went to class and did some of todays requirements. I also got a mentor session with master Natasya as well.

Today was super fast-pace because we had a lot to get done in school. Once I got home I ate a lot and did schoolwork. BYE!

1/23/24:  Today was surprisingly laid back. I have all my requirements done today and school was cancelled due to a busted water main. I have mostly been talking to friends and working in some homework in between. Planning on doing some guitar and taekwando practice later. 

1/22/23:   Literally can I not forget to post my day on the day it happens ...smh!  on to tommorrow.

Good Morning King Tiger. Got up this morning. Got started as normal and Nate and I hit some requirements. Nate has the last of his mid-terms today. I am heading to work and starting my day. The plan for tonight is to get a run in and finish my normal requirements. I need to continue to work on my black belt knowledge and practice my kicks. I need to keep working on my flexibility. I will get there. Looking forward to the week. Have a great day. Take care

I hope everyone is having a good 11:47PM! I am tired of working on precalculus work. I decided to try running right after I got home from school instead of waiting and forgetting, and it didn't go as badly as I thought it would! I only got one mile in, but it is better than 0!!

today i got up early and finished all my requirements before going to jail. i came back and took a nap and started on my homework. not me borderline failing all my classes right now...anyways i have 3 tests tmrw so gn

Hello everyone. Today after school, when I got to King Tiger, I took the 3:30 class but ended up assisting instead. Then later in the evening I returned for a couple more classes, which were much more productive. I did a mentor session with my mentee Ethan and I got paired up with my dad for self-defenses. And when I got home my dog sat on my face. Overall, good day. Good night everyone. I hope your cycle is going well. 

Today was my dad's birthday! I called him at school to sing him happy birthday because I forgot to before I left. Then we went to class and we hit him with noodles. After that we had cheese cake.
