Candidate Journals

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.

Quite a goofy day today. I had many laughs in both school and at Taekwondo today. While I do think I could’ve been more serious today, I think Mondays are the perfect days to have the laughs. I don’t have much homework to do tonight, and I have a doctor’s appointment tomorrow, so it’s a kind of nerve wracking week coming up. Let’s hope nothing is wrong……

Today was a pretty normal day.I got up and ready for school and got to the bus on time even though i woke up late.My sister is still sick so i’m still keeping my distance. at school I did my retest my math and my presentations for science and social studies. in social studies my group got the second most votes to get printed. after I got home I ate a snack did some of my requirements and relaxed a bit before I had to go to my weekday black belt class. once I got home I ate dinner and did the rest of my requirements now I have to shower and go to sleep.

I had a good day at school. I had to take a science test and I only got 3 answers wrong out of 22. At class tonight we did a lot of poomsae and self deferences. We also did a lot of high belt kicks. Before class we worked on staff form and stick form 1. I did a really hard work out and now I am tired and ready for bed.

Hello King Tiger! Today was a simple school day. I got a 92 on my science quiz(which I did not know about). After homework, I finished today's requirements and now I am typing this journal. After this journal I am going to finish my 3rd essay. Bye!

Hia everyone!  today I went to school and had a math test I was pretty confident with what I wrote, and I hope I got a good grade.  When I got home I did my homework and ran a mile, after that I got dressed for class and left.  When I got there I asked if I could do leadership 1 in the 5:15 class , but there were new people so they needed to do it.  After instead I just assisted in that class, and for the next class I asked to warm ups and they said yes so I did.  In the middle of those two classes I asked to do a mentor session with my mentor, then after that I went home and ate dinner and did my exercises.Make sure to have a nice day!!!   :)

Today was a pretty normal day. I got up and went to school. We took our MVPA math test but didn't get our scores back yet. Besides that it was a normal school day and I went to after school. I cancelled my taekwondo class today because I had to study for my science test. I went over the study guide and feel like I am ready for the test tomorrow. After I finished studying I did my exercises and I will have to double up tomorrow on my poomsae and self defense. I'm about to relax and play Tekken before I go to bed. 

I woke up today and di my normal morning routine. I then went to school. I had my engineering final which I believe went well. Right after the test I started studying for my midterms tomorrow. Afterschool I had a meeting for JROTC; was very productive and finished my agenda for that meeting. I then came home and did a bike ride. Followed by some more studying. I then went to Tae Kwon Do and got a leadership credit as well as worked with my mentee on Taebaek. I then came home, ate, studied some more and now I am here. Overall was a very productive day. 

Happy Monday! Somewhat productive day. Worked. I ran/walked 3 miles because it's going to rain later this week and I was worried I may have to miss a day. Going to try and do the same tomorrow. It means that I have to walk a little more than I'm used to but I'm trying to make the best of it. I took Jovi to his guitar lesson and we went to King Tiger. I got in a session with my mentee and a class assistance credit. Hope everyone had a good day. 

Today at school we finally found out the different classes based on our map scores I got the advanced math class. I was so glad because now I have new people to work with. After school I studied for a Spanish quiz, I have tomorrow with a friend and then practiced. after that I went to Tae Kwon Do and took class. Now I'm at home about to eat.

Today I went to school again for the week, but right before, I went to the doctor and got 2 shots mandatory for middle school next fall. Then after school I did my requirements and then went to the 5:15 class for class assistance, I had mentee session and 6:00pm class for leadership. Now back at home sore , had dinner tomatoe soup with grill cheese sandwich and resting now. Good night to all!

I had a bunch of homework still to do so I only went to class today helped out and got leadership credit. I was a bit nervous but am happy that I did it. I'll be doing double exercises tomorrow sadly. I hope everyone had a great day and stay safe.

Today when I woke up I diceded that I want to do less on thurdsday so I got 46 minutes of sit ups and everything else done then I went to school which was a good monday surpisingly. First class I had a test which was a bit confusing so I got a lower than expect grade. Next class we just did review after I had gym which we had to take a pacer test which I was better than most people and I got a 50 on it. After I got home I just played video games because I was bored then wnet to 6:00 class which I help out then 6:45 class which I helped and did warm up which was embarrasing because I pronounced circle your knees, circle your hip, circle your foot and circle your neck all wrong lol then after I had dinner and read.

Today I had a test and it took almost three hours for everyone to finish the test. I have two more tests this week. I am looking forward to the math test tomorrow. 

First I woke up and got ready for school.  Then mom and I walked to school.  Next I got to school went to breakfast and then did my blocks and.  After school was over I went to King Tiger and took a class.  Then I ran a mile with instructor Courtney.  After that I did some more black belt stuff and also helped out with a class.  Then we went home and had dinner. Now I am off to bed!

Today I woke up really early to study for a test and start an essay. In school it was really boring today. But I am doing taekwondo requirements and eating before class.

All I was doing today was my stuff for my black belt cycle and homework. Tomorrow is my dads birthday.

Good Morning King Tiger. It is Monday morning. Started off the day with taking care of the dogs, getting everyone ready for their day, and then doing the same for me. Nate and I did do some requirements early, just to get started with the week. I need to drop our dogs at daycare this morning and then into the office. We are back into the office. No more remote working. I kind of like being in the office. Plus the commute gives me time to decompress on the way home before I need to start home life stuff. Good stuff. I am ready for the week. Hope everyone has a great week. Take care.

Very eventful day (not): I did some requirements and then napped. I like napping!! It was a concerningly long nap but a good nap nonetheless. I'm going to see if I can get myself a little ahead in physics work now :)

Today I had poomsae class and it was fun. It was very cold. Then I went home and pretty much spent time with my dad all day long. I watched football, ate and relaxed. Good Night!

today i woke up at 6 and did all my requirements. since i had nothing to do for the rest of the day i did some homework and finished one of my essays. 

Good Evening King Tiger, Today was a good day. Got up, did some requirements and went to our church to volunteer. I do several things for the church but today was handling parking. It was cold but fun. I also went to second service. Our pastor was speaking from Hebrews 11, focusing on how faith was and is critical with our path with our Lord. It was really impactful. I came home, got lunch, and did a bunch of requirements today. We had a catch up a little since yesterday (Sat) was very busy. Then we did our weekly cooking. My wife cooked some amazing food for us and so I helped with cleaning all the dishes. Watched some football. I also ran today, it was cold but not like yesterday. I am ready for another week. Have a great Sunday and week. Take care.

Today I wanted to go outside, but couldn’t, so I played a game with my friends and decided to try something new. I tried running a mile inside my house. It worked surprisingly well. I tracked my distance with an Apple Watch.

Today was good I got some school work done and played sports outside. Also I watched football and cooked with my mom.

Today I woke up and I had to be mute for 12 hours. It was very hard because I had to use my phone to type what I wanted to say or use sign language all day. Me and my mom went to Whole Foods Market, Five Below and Food Lion. I ran a mile and did my requirements. Then I got to eat dinner. When it was 9:00 I could finally talk. I read my book and went to bed. 

I woke up today and got some requirements done first thing in the morning. I then went to church and I volunteered in the kids room working with the kindergarteners and 1st graders as usual. I really enjoy volunteering and working with the kids. I then got home, ate, and did a bunch of requirements. I used my extra time today to catch up for some days I have missed. Then I studied for a couple hours, watched church, and did some recovery work from yesterday's track meet. Then I read and got ready for bed. Now I am here. 

Today i did basically nothing I woke up late so i just went ahead and ate lunch after that i watched a few movies. my sister has a fever so I tried my best to stay away from her I read a book for a while then tried to take a nap but couldn’t fall asleep. I did my requirements, ate dinner and showered now I have to go to sleep. 

Hello cyclers, welcome to another journal entry. I did a lot of stuff today and I can't wait to tell you about it. Last night I had a sleepover with my friend William Ross. We had lots of fun, and we were up really late. I barely slept. This afternoon when I got home, I rested a bit and then I took a hike with my dad. We walked behind our neighborhood into a new neighborhood that they're building. There are a couple of roads but no houses yet. And lots of mud. Also, there are three huge mounds of dirt that look like mountains. Me and my dad summited one that we named mount Liam. After the hike I finished up all of my other requirements for the day. Yea, so that was pretty much my day. Now I'm very tired so I'm going to bed. Good night!

Today, I did some more studying for my midterms and in the evening I went driving with my dad because I still only have my permit. After I did my requirements.

First I woke up and played some video games, had breakfast and then went to church.  Next I went to church and went to Sunday school.  Then I went to the nursery after because my mom had to watch Jack!  Then we went to Bad Daddy's for lunch! When we got home I did my black belt stuff and played some more video games.  Finally I went with mom to drop Anthony off at youth group.  Then me and mom went to the rec center I and I ran/walked 2 miles.  Then we went home and I had leftover pizza and watermelon for dinner and now I'm heading to bed!

1/21/24...Today was productive.  Finished an essay and my mom tested me on progress on my physical requirements.  Getting ready for the week ahead which looks difficult with the additional physical stuff.   Gonna try to get a good night of rest after dinner.

Hello King Tiger! Today, I was simple day. I woke up to do some requirements and study for a (fake) exam. The actual exam is next Sunday and I have to study 13 lessons in 7 days, which is reading about 2 lessons per day. I hope week 3 started well for everyone. Also we bought two fish tanks with one tank filled with a lot of fish and another tank with a lonely betta fish( we're trying to find a female betta so they could mate. The male already showed signs of mating.) This happened like a two weeks ago and now today we bought baby guppies for free at PetSmart. We're happy and waiting to see if they could live long enough to mature into adult guppies. 

Hello, today was a pretty chill day, when I woke up I went to the store with my dad, because we needed to get some this for my nana.  When I got home I worked on reading and math, after that I ran 1 mile.  When I was done I took a shower, when I got out I went to my grandma's house to hang out and also start watching the Chiefs at the Bills game.  When I got home I did my exercises, and now I'm finishing the Chiefs game with my dad.       Have a brilliant night or day!!!

Happy Sunday! Started today with a great poomsae class. Picked up some additional strength exercises to help with my kicks among other things. Today was Joe's birthday. 52! Where has the time gone? Joe, Jovi, and I went to eat at The Cheesecake Factory and had presents for him at home. He wanted to do everything before NFL playoffs started. I got my bb requirements in for the day and watched football. Hope everyone had a great weekend. 

Today was very tiring. I got all my requirements done for today and spent 4 hours helping my dad pick up sticks for a fire and so I can earn money to buy new Airpods because I lost mine about a month ago, they come tomorrow morning and i'm very exited. I was also mute today and did pretty well i get to talk at around 9 tonight. I have school tomorrow and I get to wear my new hoodie which is also very exiting. I took a shower this morning and washed my hair and about an hour ago i streightened it foot school tomorrow. I cant decide if in the morning i'm going to curl it or not, I might decide to do overnight curls. There is this weird red mark under my eye which I really hope will go away by tomorrow. One of my bestfriends  is coming...

today we slept in i caught up in my book i am doing this journal its short but thats what i did bye

Today I woke up and I did all of my teakwondo exercises with some extra time. Then I went to poomsae class. Afer that I played in a video game tournament. I got steamrolled haha. But it was still fun. I went to the gym and ran and when I got back I made myself a quesadilla for lunch. After that, I played some more video games then my dad and I did Hopketo, blue belt, yellow and high yellow belt self defense. Then I made dinner and now I am watching youtube. 

Today was really easy. I ate breakfast, had lunch, called a friend, all that fun stuff. Then I did all my requirements for today. We went to the gym once again today and did some extra workouts there to help me get better. But that was my day. I hope everyone had a great day and stay safe.   S3:E2:  Don't Stop Me Now - Queen: I give this song a 4/5 mostly because I'm a Queen fan but also it's a encouraging song for running and i really enjoyed it. That's it for me and have a great day!  

Went to Cajun Queen to celebrate my nursing license. Never been, but I love trying new places. Today I got my requirements done and ran 3 miles.  I probably should plan my week out, but I am processing my food coma right now, so I will plan later or tomorrow. 

Today I tried to go mute but ended up talking a million times. Besides that all I did was do requirements, go to the grocery store and relaxed.

Today I got to sleep in till 9AM and I felt pretty good after that. I also got todays requirements done. I also put on my new rollerblades and got used to them and I actually did good. I didn't really do anything else today it was kind of a relax day.

New start to the work week was rough.  Dragging my workout gear to the office and back home at night unused.  Going to need to block time at the end of the day on my calendar to carve the time out on my schedule.  

Was able to get time to work on the curriculum.  I realize that I need to do a little every day or I forget what I thought I had already learned.   Time in the morning on the app and again before bed seems to help with retention.  

Thank you Master Dege for teaching a great Wednesday Black Belt class!  It was a good reminder of how you can never practice basics enough.  It was humbling to see my technique in the reflection of the windows.  I appreciate you giving us the opportunity to improve on the foundation skills of tae kwon do.    

Squeezed a workout in after work tonight.  Glad to have time to practice kicks and poomsae in an empty gym in my building.  

Tough day at work - I hauled my gym bag in thinking I would have time to work out and hauled it back home unopened at the end of the day.  Thank goodness for the videos King Tiger posts so I can at least try to learn some of the curriculum in small doses through the app.  

Thank you Master Dedge for your help with my Black Belt self defense work in class today.   I have a long way to go to learn the curriculum and appreciate the patience of the instructors who were teaching today.  I know I can learn it over time.  

Good mornin’ everyone! I decided to knock out some requirements early this morning (3 miles and finishing up my Burpees) and I am now preparing to head to Poomsae class. My goal today is to finish up week 3, post the requirements here on the website, finish any essays that I still haven’t done, and start progress on my recommendation letters (I have two people in mind to write it). That’s all for me, nothing much. Good luck to everyone this week…….

I led the White Belts today.  I did a great job with the Poomsae's and Self-Defense, however, I could not get the words out of my mouth.  I remembered the  commands, Imagine me, speechless! :0

Today in the morning I went to BBC and then I helped with the class after for a credit.  Then when I went home I made some waffles for breakfast. Then I went to go do my workouts and play basketball, and that's all I did for today.

Today was a good day! I got to go to my 9am sparring class, help out with junior tigers, get some requirements done, and play tiger ball!! Master Knight let me lead small groups of junior tigers, and I had them work on basic punches and kicks. I hope to be a little more enthusiastic and come up with more engaging ideas next time!! :D We got Popeye's for lunch, and then I came home and took a ridiculously long nap (I woke up 20 minutes ago). Goodnight!!

Woke up today and did my normal routine except for no requirements. I then got ready for by track meet. We had about and hour drive to the indoor track and my girlfriend came with me since she ran after me. We got there and I sat and watched a few 55 meter races than started warming up. I did my usual warm-up. I then got in line for my heat and was ready to go. I only ran the mile today. Nothing amazing happened, but it was still and a great race. I then watched my girlfriend (Avery) race her 500 meter. She did amazing! Then we went to a bakery and got a bunch for sweets. Then we came home I slept and hung out with Avery for a while; got ready for bed and now I am here. 

Hello King Tiger! today I started Week 3 and finished my requirements for Saturday. Black Belt Class was fun. I got to go to sleep now. Bye

Today I woke up for my black-belt class where we practiced Hopkido. Afterwards, I rested a bit and then went on a LONG bike ride with my friends. They had to go, so that left me with extra time for requirements.

Happy Saturday! Started the morning bright and early by meeting Instructor Courtney at KT to practice self defenses that have rolls and falls. Her idea and it was a great one! Then it was black belt class and a mentor session with Master Natasya. Got my cycle requirements in for the day at home. I spent a huge chunk of my day working on my new skill, knitting. It is with large chenille so it is a little different than the small work that most knitting is. I really like it and can see me knitting regularly. Whenever someone questions my doing something like taekwondo at my age, I have always joked that one day I would take up knitting, but today is not that day. Now I have taken up knitting so I can't make that joke anymore. I can do both though! Also got some work in today. Loving...

today i went to black belt class and then came home and did some requirements and rested. i then had a rec basketball game at 4 so i went to that. we lost 13-73...i have a strong feeling i will get benched after this because i fouled a lot and coach is pretty mad at us but whatever. i came home and did nothing for the rest of the day.

We got up early and went to sparring. I got to do leadership and help out with classes. In leadership we played a fun game called Tiger Ball. I did a mentee session with Elena. We had lunch at Vortex and had ice cream after. I came home and we were able to relax the rest of the day. 

A weird thing that I saw today was mints in a bathroom. It was really gross but me and my friend took a handful of them. 

Today I woke up at 6:30am and went to class. I took two classes today in hope for leadership credit but someone took it from me. My mom was a little late to pick me up so I did some requirements. When I got home I did the rest of it and got it done for the day. I hope everyone had a great day and stay safe.   S3:E1 It was really cold out and I didn't feel like getting my headphones out so I just finished my run and got it over with. I am still taking any song ideas if anyone has any! I do hope everyone did have a good run today and to not get hurt too bad. I wish everyone luck on the cycle!

Another sunny cold day! Today I had early in am the weekend black belt and I practiced Hapkido 1,2,3,4. Then I went home and my mom made me a healthy and yummy breakfast. I relaxed for a while playing games and later I jogged in the treadmill 2 miles and did my exersices. Dad and I watched some Footbal. I am tired and I think soon I will be in bed. Goodnight!

Hello!!  Today I had to wake up pretty early for Saturday black belt class, after that I went home and took a 3 hour nap until 1:00.  After I woke up I helped my dad take down my Christmas tree, and then it was time to watch the Ravens game.  Then when it was over I ate dinner and did my requirements and after that I did some studying for my math test on Monday.  When I was done I did the last thing I had to do for my requirements.         Have a nice night!

Today I woke up and went to sparring then I helped out with the junior tiger class right after. after that i got home and had some time to relax before i had to go to my Basketball game. My team lost but we played really hard in the second half and I felt that the refs were being really unfair because they kept ignoring the fouls the other team made and the girls on the other team were just being really bad sports but I can’t do anything about it so i came home and ate lunch then showered and relaxed some more did my requirements and now i am watching a movie with my parents. That’s all 

1/20: Saturday is my busiest day of the week.   All day at KT Harrisburg for sparring, assisting, class, leadership, and volunteered in the afternoon there.   Overall a great day of getting things done and enjoyed class  And my mom brought Sushi for lunch....Awesome!   Now for a little down time. 

Today I woke up early to go to black belt class. After I got home and studied a bit for more midterms that I have this week. Then I did my requirements and ran a mile outside when the weather was not as bad.

Hi King Tiger Family. Good day today. Nate had a track meet in Winston Salem, and I glad it was indoors. It was very cold today. He did very well. I did go for a run myself today, but outside and it was a little cold. All good though, glad to get some miles in. Then did a few more requirements. Got more to do later. Writing now because we have little lull in the evening. Just finishing eating dinner and cleaning up after. Got laundry running, and now writing this. We did have some time at the track waiting for his heat, so I working on the Written Test questions and finding all the answers. The test has changed some since the last time I took it, so getting ready. Some good questions on it. I found a cool free app for my phone where you can make flash cards,...

I am licensed to be nurse in North Carolina (and other states). Thats the biggest news of the day, but I just got those result 30 minutes ago.  The morning was mostly requirements: black belt class, physical req, and I did some middle split stretching. The afternoon was spent playing video games. For dinner, I went to an all you can eat sushi and Japanese restaurant called Sushi Hana, 10/10 worth the money.  Now that I completed my schooling for now, I have decided how I want to forward. My nurse residency at Atrium starts Feb 5th, but what else do I want to accomplish.

Today I got up and went to the usual 9:00 am sparring class. After I stayed to help out with jr. tigers, take a regular class and leadership. We played a round of tiger ball and I got out right before the last 2 mins. Of course when I got home I was extremely tired and finished requirements and winded down 2 hours. Then i had to work on a school project. After that I just relaxed for the rest of the day.

This morning I woke up pretty early, my mom asked me why I cant wake up like that during the week for school.  I had breakfast and then we went to black belt class.  I got a mentor session in and helped out with a class and also led punches and kicks!  Then we went to meet Brien and we went to his Aunts house for her birthday party (I ate sooo much food).  Finally we went home and soon we will have some dinner and then go to bed.

Today I went to BBC class this morning and had a basketball game I won!

Hi guys, unfortunately I don't have all the time in the world today so this will be a pretty short journal. The reason I don't have a lot of time today is because I have a sleep-over at a friend's house. I'm kinda supposed to leave right now. I was almost late to class today. I made it by 5 seconds at the max. But overall, today's class was cool. We did hapkido again which is one of my favorites. Ok, I'm going to leave you with a joke: What do you call a dog magician? A labra-cadabra-doodle! 

Today I got up early to go to class and there was a surprise waiting there, master Jason was back!! Later today we are going to a hockey game with two of my friends. So today will be really fun.

Today at school twe did a fun project. Then there was a fight and a teacher named Mr tartal stopped the fight. Then I went to practice basketball and that's all that happened 

Another great class today.  Kicks, sticks, poomsae's, self defense and TACO'S!  I'm still attempting the pull-up, but I'm just hanging for now..."womp womp."

It is unbelievable how much work you can miss once school is in session-- physics is going to eat up a lot of my time. Today, after school, I took part in the black belt class and got work on various poomsaes and self-defense done. I also got some rolls in, which was fun to do! Afterward, I ate tacos from the potluck after the class. Now I'm going to frantically work on physics and hope it makes sense to me.

Today was a good day, we had fun Friday at school today and I got to hang out with all my friends. I got all my work turned in for the whole week and now have no missing assignments. We got our seats moved in art class which me and my friends are not happy about but its ok because one of my other friends sits with me. I got my week assignment done for art which was difficult and ive been working on it all week. Next week in art were making our cardboard structures into clay ones and im exited. In gym we did the pacer test and me and my friend Macy didn't do so well. On the bus on the way home me and my friend Rylan were gossiping again and then were singing the whole rest of the way home. When i got home my hoodie...

Good Evening King Tiger. Great Friday Night BB class at LKN. We worked on Hapkido which was perfect. It had been a while since I had done them and it came back, but refresh was perfect timing. Now Nate and I can work on it. I also got myself a mentee (Instructor Rob). I really do like instructing and helping kids learn, but I also like working with the adults. In some ways it is harder with adults because "learning" something is harder when you get older. Instructor Rob is awesome to work with and this may be as much him helping me as it is me helping him. I have been focusing on my 2nd Dan knowledge so I can instruct him. It is all good. I am looking forward to the remaining cycle. Have a great evening. Take care.

Happy Friday! Today was a pretty ordinary Friday. I ran 2 miles and got my exercise credits in pretty early. I also did 15 minutes of rolls and falls. Got work in. Jovi and I went to black belt class where we worked on Hapkido. I came home and made chicken tacos for the family. We played some yahtzee. Hope everyone's weekend is off to a good start. 

Hell King Tiger! Today was an easy day. I had two quizzes and I got hundreds on them. I was happy with the Friday mood and continued with that same mood to Black Belt Class. The hapkidos were a bit challenging and looked hard, but once you learn it, you just have to tweak minor adjustments. After class, I did some pull-ups. I am now going to sleep. I will see the rest of you guys tomorrow.

I forgot to post a journal entry yesterday (but to be fair there wasn't much to write about yesterday), but I will say today was quite successful. I learned Hapkido 1 and 2, just now gotta practice and actually remember them this time. It was an enjoyable Black Belt class today, and I am very hopeful tomorrows class will be of the same quality. I am planned to try and finish week 3 tomorrow, allowing me to relax and have a free day on Sunday. I also now know what skill I am going to learn (Thank you Instructor Jen for the idea), I am going to learn how to use chopsticks. Luckily, my dad knows how to use them, so it'll be easier to learn....

Today I went to school, did all my work. I had tests in reading and math. Then I had fun Friday and I got to go outside. Then I finished with my tests and went home, but my bus was really late so I got home late. Then I did my requirements and I went to the new black belt class. We did these rotations and I got to eat tacos and I hanged out with the kids and did games and went home.

Today I had 2 more midterms which I think I did well on. We had early dismissal but our bus was an hour late so it barely felt like it. AFter I got home I studied a bit and did my requirements before going to black belt class.

Hello!  Today I went to school and had a pretty nice day, at recess I had some fun but it wasn't the best recess, because I had nothing to do but talk to my friends.  After school I did my homework, and after that I went to the 5:30 black belt class.  While I was there we did hapkido and I kind of got left out because I didn't have a partner until I formed a triangle with 2 other people.  After I got home I did my requirements.

today i did some requirements before school and it was pj day so it was pretty chill because its a Friday. my hw keeps building up so i don't know what I'm gonna do. i had practice and then i came home and did more hw and requirements.

Do you know the country Greenland? I hope you do because on some Dollar Tree maps it's bigger than Africa. But have you ever wondered why it's called Greenland when it's one of the most Northern countries in the world? Our story starts in the 9th century when Erik the Red was looking to make a colony - a successful one. People back in Iceland, his home country, relied on pastures and farming to survive. So naturally he wanted this colony to be green like the Icelandics liked it. So, he named his colony Greenland so that everyone would move there. Conclusion: Erik was a liar. Happy Conclusion: he just wanted to help his fellow Icelandics. Moral of the story: be more like Erik, but less like Erik. Do good things, but not by just any circumstances. enjoy your history lesson!

I tried to get my essay done and then the power went out so now I have to start all over and I didn't run today so I have to run two miles tomorrow so that will be fun. Then I went too class and had tacos.

I had SUCH a good day today. after getting black belt class and went to the gym for running and everything. I got everything done and caught up with yesterday, so everything twice, in under two hours! I'm really proud of myself! This was the last day of week two of the cycle and congratulations to everyone I bet all of you guys did great! I hope everyone had a great day and stay safe!   S2:E6:   Today: I listened to my music on shuffle today mostly because it was already 7:30 pm and I was really trying to be done there. Thanks for everyone who is reading this and I hope you have a great rest of your cycle!   To Master Chelley: Thank you for the email, 80's kid. I hope you'll read more. And I need a little help with songs for next week, I'm open to suggestions!...

Today I woke up and knocked out some requirements this morning. Then I went to school and had a normal day, nothing exciting. My mom picked me up and I went to my black belt class. After we were done we had a potluck and after we ate I played with my friends. I also practiced rolls and falls with my friend Declan and then I came home and finished my jump rope and pull up requirements. I forgot to mention on yesterday I found out that my art teacher submitted my artwork for festival at the park and gave me a certificate. 

Today is when I pull all my weekly requirements in; so on Fridays, I will review my progress. I'm using a running app to complete runs. I'm also try to do a mile run when I'm at King Tiger. The runs feel good, but I'm also still feeling very fatigue afterwords, and I'm do not feel like I'm running fast.  The other physical requirements are getting easier to do, and I feel stronger. Taking rest days have help, even if that means I load other days a bit heavier. I do need to work on my pull-ups, specifically holding the top part more, I've been doing banded or rows. I want to go over my form and technique more this week with Poomsae's. I also have to go over weapons because I have not done them in a while. Progress well with self-defense. I've learned all the hopikidos require, and I'm...

Hello all.  Friday was a cold and windy day. I mostly relaxed today but at 5:15 I had a mentor session and after that I went to the 5:30 class and did some leadership credit. Have a good night!

Today I woke up and did all my black belt things for the day I then went to school it was very boring today but I just went through it first period I had history class which all we did is make a advertisement about World War 1 then I had math which we just did nothing the whole class because she had nothing to give us then I had ELA, my teacher was out so we just watched a video then science class we just played games because she didnt have anything for us.

Today I had a good friday because I got told who will be with me in the big 5th grade fieldtrip to Raleigh. And that fieldtrip will be the biggest fieldtrip me and the rest of the 5th grade students have ever been a part of. Anyways I had a great day because I only had a test in math and I got a one hundred on it, of course I did I am the best at math so I'm not surprised at all.

1/19/24:  headed to school and hope it will be a good day.  pretty tired and worn out from sparring class with Instructor Max at North Charlotte last night. But I had a blast.  Will be going back next Thursday as well.  Tonight is black belt class at Harrisburg so I have lots to do after school to get ready and a birthday party to attend after that.  Busy day! 

Today was a normal day. I got up and went to school. Today I had a math test and got a 90 on it. We had a computer science showcase and my group got to show our weather forecast robot. I did the coding part for the robot. When I got home I did my requirements and read a little. It was a good day.

Hello King Tiger! Today, unfortunately, was a bad day for me. I failed a quiz today and I was sad because It has been a long time since I failed a quiz. Now my grade has dropped, but I won't let that happen anymore. Other than that, everything was fine. Sparring class was fun and I took family class before sparring. I just finished my homework and now I am typing this journal. I have a quiz in biology tomorrow and I will not fail.

Hi guys. I don't really know what to write about tonight as you can see from the title of this entry. But I've got to write about something so... yea. I know! I'm going to write about my plans for the blackbelt cycle. As of right now, I have not started on any essays or my skill, but according to my plan that's going to change. This coming week I'm going to write at least two of my essays and I'm going to spend time working on my new skill which will be... a surprise :) Now how do I wrap up this journal of nothingness? I guess I'll just say good night. So... good night! 

I am very tired now. I basically did a lot today at school. I had my science club after school then I got home and dad took me to the gym and walked 1 mile on the treadmill and did most of my exersises. then i got ready for Taekwondo, sparring class. Good night!

First I woke up and did some blackbelt stuff, then I got ready for school.  At school I had ELA, math and s.s.  Then I went to King Tiger and helped out with a class then I ran a mile (It was my best time so far!).  Finally I had sparring and after sparring we went home and had dinner.  Then I had to do my hw for school real quick.  Then it was shower time before bed!
