Candidate Journals

I got to help out in my first family class yesterday. It was not my best performance. I had 3 different higher belts with three different pomsaes, and lets say it didn't go that well.  Oh well, there's only room for improvement, right?!?! It's all part of the journey.  If it was easy I wouldn't be worth doing. I like to think of it as an 'ego adjustment'. There's always room for improvement with everything in life. I also helped out with the Little Tigers class which is an ALL TIME favorite. Talk about 'organized chaos'. They are so dang cute and sending them home with other parents at that end of class is the best part (ha ha). Lots of family time this weekend, and got to spend time with the 'ponytail ninjas'. Having other women go through this TKD journey with me makes it all that more special. Also I...

good day today...slept great, up early, meditation, church and 2 hours of training...going to yoga this evening. If every day was a Sunday then this would be easy...but it's not and back to work tomorrow. Going to be a busy, busy week but will stay focused on training. Plans are to be in class at least 3 times, hopefully 4. Also 9Round and Crossfit 3 times.

Will they say thing come in Three , I hope that is true.  Some more sad news at work. On a up note I think I am getting in to a routine with my requirements.  Come home , pull ups, sit ups, push ups , kicks , and not to happy BURPEES..

Flights were delayed out of Dulles Thursday evening...ended up waiting 6+ hours. Finally got back to Charlotte around midnight...home after 1am. Long day...up at 7am and had to jump right into work calls. Another long day and did not get to much time for training. Saturday will be full training day for sure. Back is a little whacked, always is after flying. Will for sure do some extra stretching.

Need to get more miles in , knee was doing good today. As long as I remember to take my pill in the morning.  My jump roping is not all the good , But  I will get there. Saw a post on the KingTiger page smile, smile, smile. 

I forgot to log in yesterday, but it was a fun day. I got to train 2 Kidz Camps at Burn Boot Camp which is always super cute. Then my little man had a friend over for a sleep over and it went super easy.  Today I did some serious 'momming' :) James's friend stayed over until after lunch, and then Emma wanted to go shopping for hours. Next was dinner, and then I decided to come home and organize drawers.  I'm super excited for tomorrow since I'm going to help out in my first Saturday TKD family class :) I can't wait to start back with my TKD practice this Monday and starting to exercise Wednesday!!!

This would not publish yesterday so I'm going to post it now: Had a mentor session today! We focused on Koryo and Specials #2. I have to remember that my right foot is in front for 3 and 6. I also need to make small changes to Koryo (lower my blocks, extended my punch more, rechamber my elbow more when I kick). Walked 2 miles before work. Then did another mile on the stairmaster (Stairmaster= the worst cardio machine >.<)

To day ,at work started off on a sad day. Last week a coworker of 28 year  left us, yesterday we lost a good man again,  sad,sad, .

Still in Herndon VA working...just about to finish up the second day of training for a new area I am working on developing for the company...it's called DevOps or NetOps and it is basically next generation programming for networking solutions.Anyway, just about to head to the airport for flight back to Charlotte...looking forward to getting home and back in the training mode...up early this morning for breakfast meetings and then class.

Knocking out as many physical requirements as I can. I've been working on bettering my push ups since March and Ive improved so much! I can do 10-20 reps. When I do my requirements in front of the summer campers, they will start doing them with me, its so cute.  When to the pool, did some basic kicks while I was there. I worked at 9Rounds (kickboxing studio) today and got 39 sparring rounds done. Phew!

I went to my surgeon today for a check-up and I was really hoping he was going to release me to start working on my pomsaes at least, but he did not.  I still have to wait another week until I can exercise.  I'm getting super antsy and want to work out, but I don't want to get a hernia.  I was glad that it was nice out tonight so I was able to get a walk in before putting my little man to bed. I also was able to train 2 Kidz Camps at Burn Boot Camp which was fun.  I had a helper who showed the kids how to do the exercises, and it was really hard to not demonstrate. 

Super excited that I was able to go into the pool for the first time since getting my appendix out. It's been hard not being able to go into the pool or the ocean with it being SOOOO HOT out.  I'm super happy that I can do that now though. I always knew that my body needs exercise to help as a mood boost, but my grumpiness is at an all time high.  Trying to stay positive and happy, but I really need to work out.  I'll be trying some poomsase on Monday and hopefully I'll take an adult class. 

So right now we are playing a game and about to take class. It's very exciting that the cycle is starting but also kind of scary. Summer camp is a lot of fun, all of the campers are very kind and funny. 

in Herndon VA for work the next two days....early morning meetings so training will be in the evening. Late flight last night so did not get to the hotel until 10pm. Slept ok...it's always difficult the first night in a hotel. Up early for meditation and starting work. As I reflect on the beginning of this cycle I can't help but feel so much gratitude in the simple fact that I have this awesome privilege to train with Master Evins and all the black belts at King Tiger. Plus the fact that currently I am injury free and healthy enough to train full speed.

Hi everyone! I am so pumped to be on the cycle again. The last time I tested for my black belt was in 2015. I have grown so much then (physicals, mentally, spiritually) and I am excited to challenge myself again. I asked my dad a couple weeks ago if he thought I would make it this far in Tae Kwon Do. He told me no, not because I couldn't, but when I started TKD I was a kid who gave up or lost interesting in hobbies. Thankfully, my mom pushed me to keep going until I could do it for myself. If my mom didn't keep pushing me, I probably wouldn't have stayed in TKD, and that something I would have regretted.  I am so thankful for my mother who pushed to me to be better at times I didn't want to. Because now, I learned to push myself.

good morning...up early...slept very well. I have decided to change my sleep schedule and go to bed earlier. I am also tracking my sleep every night with a new app for my iWatch...very informative as it tracks all the sleep patterns. Last night was a 7 1/2 hour of sleep...with a 82% "quality" rating with 5 REM cycles for 22% REM sleep...pretty good. Rowed, situps, pushups, stretching and morning meditation...now work all morning. Scheduled for CrossFit at lunch today. Still sore from yesterday's workout so will take it 75% today. Travel today to Herndon VA for work...2 days of work related training tomorrow and Thursday. This will test my new travel workout schedule so I will report on that when I return.

I'm super nervous, excited, and anxious about this journey. Luckily, my daughter just completed her first BBC and is my inspiration and hero. There have been many ups and downs getting to this point. Taekwondo has been so challenging to my ego FOR SURE. It has taught me lots of valuable lessons along the way and I know there will be MANY more during the next 3 months. I expected to be cranking out my physical requirements already, but I recently had my appendix taken out so I'm not allowed to work out yet.  Master Chelley has been my amazing teacher throughout the past fours years, and I can't believe it's time for my cycle.  I remember Master Chelley her being on cycle and me wanting to help her with her physical requirements. How time flies and things change.

Good day everyone, Instructor Brewer here...the Fall 2019 Black Belt Cycle has started...I am starting this cycle for my 4th Dan - Master - with a huge sense of excitement along with some nervousness. I have been attempting this for the last 4 years and am finally in a position to actually do a cycle. My excitement is overwhelming as I think back on my more than 30 years involved in the martial arts and Tae Kwon Do and over 16 years training with Master Evins and King Tiger. My nervousness is primarily in all the new requirements and still trying to remember the old ones...which really makes most of everything new to me. I know that I have a huge support group at KTA and will be working with my mentor on a regular and frequent basis. I look forward to working and training with all the black belt candidates...

Today I woke up and ate breakfast. After that I went to  do most of my math homework. I also am doing my online homework right now and I am going to have a good day. Yayz

Today in school I learned about single cell organisms and multi cellular organisms. After school I came home eating ramen noddles. Today is also my brother’s (Matthew) birthday.

I had needed the extra two weeks for the cycle and I logged on to the website to log everything, but for some reason whatever I logged will not show up on the website. It is making me really nervous and scared, it feels as if I am so close yet so far away. I'm just hoping for the best at this point.

I had a good day today, a somewhat difficult day at school but there's light at the end of the tunnel, spring break is right around the corner. We have an e-learning day tomorrow so I don't have to actually go to school but I can just do my assignments at home and submit them online, and right after that spring break starts, so I'm excited about that. I think that our school's spring break is pretty far out but if anyone else has it when I do I wish for you guys to have a wonderful spring break.

I survived the overnight and public testing. Very glad to be part of this black belt cycle. I am very thankful to each and everyone one of you and all my Masters, Instructors and friends who cheered me and have been encouraging me throughout this cycle. I have a few things which I need to work before I get ready for next cycle and i will take this time to work on these. Great job everyone!!!!!!!!

Yesterday went really great same did the overnight testing. It was the first overnight testing to be done before 1:00. I was really happy because I knew I did my very level best. Also during the actual testing I did really good as well. I can't believe how fast this cycle has gone. it went by really fast. But anyways congrats to everyone during the testing!  

What a great night. I just saw that I had a journal entry left. Not sure what happened, but this will be the last until fourth dan. What a fun night with testing. The group did really well and we were out of there just past 12:30 Now life begins to get a little normal again. As normal as my life can get that is. Trent had a great night as well. He went to the Toby Mac concert and got to meet Toby Mac himself backstage. Can't wait to talk to him about it. Connor's at Ranger training up in the mountains, so it's a quiet house this weekend. I'm bushed, so I'm signing off with my last journal. Well done guys. Go and spread your Tae Kwon Do knowledge to the world. Peace and chicken grease

today at school we finally went outside and did track and I won 3 times and almost lost the last one, when I did the 50 meter .run .also today at school I fell asleep at class for 40 minutes and people were trying to wake me up.after my dad picked me up from school we went to chipotle.at the tae kwon do school I took Wednesday class and it was wacky Wednesday,and I danced a lot 

Today is testing day! I am really pumped up because I can finally show what I learned throughout this cycle. I know for a fact I am going to mess up but that's life and you learn from those mistakes. But I am going to do my very best performance today and tomorrow. Also good luck to everyone who is testing!

Today’s the day of testing and I’m so excited. i’m also kind of nervous but i believe i can do it! Wish me luck!

today at p.e we did races and i won.and also at school at recess we played football/moss and i mossed 32 people and then i jamed my fingers.after recess we had math and it was easy i got in 3rd place and played on the ipad after that we played a monkey bar challange and my team won 11-09 it was easy.and then i almost fell asleep agin.

Tonight is testing and I hope that everyone does well  

Here it is! the day of testing! This cycle has been rough but the pride that I feel is greater. See you all tonight! Good luck to all of us haha!

I had a really good day today, although a little stressful at school, after I got home and calmed down a little bit I sat down and played the guitar for a little bit which helped calm my nerves. Then I went to Taekwondo and when I got back I did my requirements and preapred for the overnight exam tomorrow. I had a lot of homework which I just finished about 10 minutes ago and I'm ready for my half day of school tomorrow!

I am ready to test!!! This has been an amazing adventure and cycle. Pushing myself and working hard to learn all the new skills and drills. I am happy with the results and ready to showcase them tomorrow night. I wish everyone luck. Stay focus and relax... something I tell myself every time I am testing. I get a little tense and anxious. Don't get in your head. Just do it like you do it at home during requirements. Nothing different.  See you tomorrow night. King Tiger! Keep Moving!

Today was a normal a school day and after I got home from the bus, I went to do my last mentee sesion with Will. Then came home and did some king tiger stuff, however, I was told that because I messed up badly I am farther behind than I thought. I was to confeident and thinking that I would be fine but now I will have to do the rest next week after testing and finish it late. 

Tonight is the night before testing tomorrow. Ive decided to take Friday off school to prepare seeing as no important academic events will be happening. I could barely focus at soccer tonight! Hopefully I will calm down before testing!

Yes, today is my sisters birthday. Today was really just like any other day for me and my sister birthday. Our birthdays are usually during spring break so we got to invite our friends but now since it was on a weekday I couldn't invite anybody.

Tomorrow is the test. I am very excited and nervous! I haven't tested in 5 years. I am prepared though. Bring it on!

Yeah today is my sisters birthday. I was pretty much a normal day for my birthday and her birthday because we usually have our birthdays during spring break.

Today I woke up and went to school.  In first block we just did some work on a worksheet for probability.  In second block we did work on the nervous system.  In 3rd block in intro to office we worked on spreadsheets.  In last block we did a mock eog.  I then went to TKD and took class and did some pullups.  I then went home ate, did homework and did poomsaes and self defense.  I then took a shower and im going to sleep.

Two days left. Sunday morning is going to feel great lying there in bed thinking, "what do I need to do today?" and then it will hit me, NOTHING! Well, it will be a honey do day. I've been getting behind on some of the things I need to do around the yard. Katherine likes a nice yard, which means it's time to get dirty planting, weed pulling, mowing, and I'm sure a shovel will some how be involved. It's so beautiful outside right now, I feel we should have our classes outdoors today. Any way, enjoy the day folks

Today was ,y birthday and I had a lot of fun today. I really didn't do much but I got to relax. For my birthday all i asked for is shoes and clothes. I am going to have a party a week before spring break though.

Today was pretty chill. I worked this morning and had college classes. I have a a good amount of poomsaes and self defenses left, but I will be cranking them out over the next couple days. It is so close!

we have to do a research project in reading, and i’m really excited about it! i am researching steve jobs and the beginning of apple. fun fact: it turns out that me and steve jobs have the same bday!

I tried to write about this yesterday but it seems that the site was down late last night, I've had a really busy weekend, my brother is moving into his new apartment, and preparing for the black belt class while juggling school has been a handful. On top of all of that, my brother's turtle, which I am taking care of while he is at college, got out of its tank and chipped it shell which I may have to take to a special vet soon. So i'm feeling a little stressed but I know everything's going to be worth it in the end.

Today I woke up and went to school.  In first block we did more map testing.  In second block we did a test and I got a 90 on it.  In electives I started health and we did everfi.  In last block we did more inferencing work.  I then went to TKD and did some pullups.  I then went home and ate burgers.  Afterwards I played basketball and took a shower.  I then did homework and requirements.

Today at sparring class we did latter drills with bonbons. We went 10>20>30>40>50 and then back down. Thank you Master Marcus for the opportunity to get so many kicks haha. 

i did some thinking, and i decided that i wanted to dedicate one of my journal entries to the thing that made me love reading. percy jackson. i started reading it in fourth grade, and it hasn’t gotten boring since. i mean even the librarian noticed how much i’ve checkdd out books from the series! reading is a big part of who i am, and i’m so lucky that i was introducing to percy jackson since it fueled my desire to read!

The sun is out, the snow is coming down, and it's spring and cold at the same time. It's like someone upstairs is having a battle over the thermistat. I remember those days when living in a dorm, going into the hallway and turning the temperature down, only to have someone come a little later and turn it up. I guess that's when someone invented the lock down cover for those things. Friday is almost here. It will be so nice to get this done. I'm really looking forward checking out Master Shin's dojang. I've never been there. I wonder if he has a donut vending machine. Keep pushing those last requirements out guys. See you all soon

So it just so happens that on my last cycle I had a 100 degree fever on the night of my overnight testing, and it was HORRIBLE. So of course this morning I would wake up with a low fever in the 99 range, because why wouldn't I? I'm 100% completely positive it won't develop over the week because what are the odds of me having a bad fever two overnights in a row, am I right? Or is it just me...

So I haven't journaled in a while and this journal is to tell you about my spring break. We travelled by plane out to Colorado and landed in Denver. Our actual vacation happened at Vail which is a ski resort up in the mountains. We skied for three days with a break in between. It was awesome because of the heavy snow cover and the sunny skies. Our last day there we skinned up the mountain and ate smores before sleding/skiing back down. Overall it was an awesome vacation and I got my hair dyed!

Today I woke up and went to school on the bus.  In first block we did map testing.  In second block we had a couple worksheets of body systems.  In electives we finished our projects.  In last block we then did inferencing practice.  Then I went to TKD and helped with class.  Then I took class.  I then went home, ate dinner, and got a haircut.  Afterwards I took a shower and did some homework.

Today was a somewhat decent day. For some reason I was oddly lucky for a few things and today was also two of my friends birthdays. One of the reasons why I said I was so lucky was because we had a science test today, and I didn't do the study guide, I didn't study or even pay attention in class, however, I was lucky and the things On the test I somehow knew and I got a 87. After school I did a mentee and mentor sesion and my king tiger things and went to bed.

Today Is a fresh start of a new month, Quarter and a new week for me. honestly April is my favorite month of the year because it has a good weather and also is my birthday. On that note my birthday is in two days and I am really exited because i'm turning 14 and i am elgible for a job. But other than that this is going to be a good month.

since the cycle is almost ending, i decided to dedicate a post to my every day workout for the cycle: i start off by running, to get it out of the way. i used to do a mile, but coming closer to the end i have started doing 1.5. i then do my pushups, sit-ups, and pull-ups in sets of five each, alternating between each of them. i do five negatives, five sit-ups, and five pushups. i repeat this five times so i can get my 25 negatives, and then i start doing sets of ten, alternating between pushups and sit-ups.  aftet all of those, i do my jump ropes and sparring round. i finish everything off with 10 minutes of meditation, to calm my body.

So far today has been nice. I had a college class this morning and went to the gym right after. I have my volunteer club soon and then 9round workout and then TKD classes tonight. I am beyond excited for the test this friday!!

Today I woke up and got some breakfast.  After breakfast I did some poomsaes and self defense.  After that I just chilled inside.  After that I played some basketball while my parents went to get new furniture.  Afterwards they started cooking and it was pizza.  Then played some more basketball.  Then we played monopoly, yes i did lose.  Then I took a shower and put in my requirements.

today was a lazy day, well the mAjoriTy of it was lazy. i had gotten up early so i decided to get my daily requirements out of the way. i regretted doing that when i realized later on that i had nothing else to do. i took a three and a half hour nap, and so i have no idea how i’m going to be able to go to bed. it’s currently 11:37 on a sunday night and i’m wide awake.

Today I woke up and got ready for church. Then I went home and at lunch and after did my physical requirements. And then I played games with my brothers.

Today was a good day for requirements, especially since I finished a couple of things. I finished my jump rope rounds, my pushups and situps, and I knocked out a bunch of miles so I only have a few left. Now I just gotta finish my miles, self defenses, and basic kicks.

Yesterday I went to birkdale with a bunch of my friends, we did a lot of random things it was fun. After that I had a sleepover at my one of my friend's houses. Then the next day we went to birkdale again with about the same group to hangout. That was also fun then i came home did my king tiger stuff and went to bed.

This was a really oos long weekend. I really just watched movies the whole time. I also did TKD stuff as well. Really it was a good weekend. Oh, I also played soccer with my dad and helped him mow the lawn as well.

I finished my push ups and sit ups today! I am so close to being done with everything. Sparring classes is the only class I will need another credit for. I am annoyed about that but it is what it is. I plan on going the tuesday after testing to get it in. Other than that, I am pretty much done!

So todays black belt class was pretty good, especially since I got to weapon forms which are pretty much my favorite. Then I went home, went on a run, took a shower, and then went to hang out with some friends. Honestly we didn't do anything and pretty much just walked around and then I ordered us some us some pizza. Now here's where it gets good, (for me at least). So I ordered it, and since some people had some cash, they would pay me there, but then one of my friends said "hey I have 40 in cash so I'll cover it and you guys don't pay me back". So really it turned out pretty nice for me because I got free pizza and drinks.

Last week before testing. Yeah!! What a beautiful day. I keep looking around the yard for projects I want to complete or start. Though I am banded from starting any new projects from upper management (wife). Don't know why. She sees thirty projects halfway done, I see thirty projects halfway completed and in need of tweaking. Won't be long until the pool cover comes off and the back yard is filled with cannon balls and belly flops. This winter has made this spring that much sweeter. And after next week, I'm going to throw a hammock up and rack out for the whole day. Well, maybe for an hour, got projects to finish, remember

the movie and restaurant last night was perfect! even though the movie made my eyes tear up...i can’t wait to do it again! i’m hoping to hang out with my friend bella today and order pizza, but it’s really just up to my dad. the weekend went by way too fast for my liking!

Today I woke up and ate some breakfast.  After breakfast we cleaned my closet and I started my laundry.  We then went shopping for summer cloths.  After that I did some poomsaes and self defenses.  After that I also did some jumprope.  After that we went to a party at my grandparents house.  After the party we went home.  At home I took a shower and got ready for bed.

Today I attended sparring class and also we had a fire underneath our dojan. We had to evacuate but still we trained outside.I am also really exited about my testing next week as well. 

today i had black belt class and we did alot of stuff beacouse testing is next friday.later in class the fire alarm went off and we had to go outside and we did staff and short stick.and later on today in 3hours IM going to my friends birthday party and its harry potter themed

Today was a fun class! We had to go outside because of the fire alarm which added some excitement. The weather was nice too which made it even better.

Today my dad and I decided to spend some quality time together, we are going to a restaurant and then watching a movie. The movie is called Five Feet Apart, starring Cole Sprouse. We are going to a place called Nakato, a hibachi and sushi bar. And I can't wait!

Today I woke up and went to school, in first block we did work on a study guide for our test next friday.  In second block we got dispersed and we did work on the vietnam war.  In gym we had a choice day so I played basketball.  In last block we worked on inferencing.  Then I went to TKD and helped play games with the kids.  Then I did some jumprope.  After I went back home I went to Kabudo's for a family friends birthday.  Then I went home took a shower and did some requirements.

So today I had 3 math tests, I mean really it was just one unit, but for some reason teachers like to split up tests nowadays. So anyways, these tests were basically on a bunch of circle equations, like (x-h)+(y-k)=r^2, and chords and radians and stuff like that. I felt pretty conifdcon in myself on these tests, and I feel like I did really good so I'm hoping I get a good grade.

Today I woke up and went to school, in first block we worked on probability again.  In second block we worked on a cold war study guide.  In third block we played basketball.  In last block we worked on authors purpose projects.  I then went to TKD and did jump rope rounds.  I then took sparring class and went home.  I took a shower and i'm now going to sleep.

Today was another boring day of school. After I got out  of school and got home I went out to hangout with my friends. Later I came back home went on a run and then came back home and played xbox.

Had a great morning. I worked out at Anytime Fitness and got 135lbs on my OHP, which is my new personal best now. After that i went to 9round to work out. I am taking a break before blackbelt class tonight at LKN. Then I have my voice lessons. Jam packed day. 

Today high school went to JA Finance Park, which is basically the same thing as Biztown, but with real life senarioes. Mine was that I was a 28 year old single mother with a 7 year old child. We were given budgets and all of that and we had to create our own life based our budgets. It was fun and stressful. I’d go back again. 

Today was a good day... Nate and I worked on "refinement" on our poomsaes and self defenses. Working on weapons specifically, and just making sure we are working on the small details. Getting ready for our overnight testing next Friday. I am confident that we are ready. More anxious now... want it to come. But it will fly here. Next week will be a blur. Keep Moving and Keep Practicing!!!

So today I got home thinking that tonight would he a nice slow, easy night right, but little did I know, I had 4 tons of biology homework. So I ended up spending about 2 hours on this work, which to be honest actually wasn't all that much, but it's not what I wanted to spend my time doing. However I did end up getting it done and I ended up chilling for the rest of the night so it ended up good eventually.

Today was a normal boring day at school afterwards I tried to get a haircut but I couldn't the place was busy. So instead I got some pizza went home, then went to Will's house for a mentee sesion. Next came back home and went to bed.

Today I went to school and my teacher wasn’t here so we had a substitute teacher. And I don’t like substitutes, but I still made it through the day. After school I went to piano class, helped out with family class, and took black belt class. And that’s my day.

Today I went in for my first shift at 9round! I had a blast and love it already! I can tell this is perfect for me.

Today I woke up and it was 7:00 A.M and got ready to go downstairs.  The thing is I was at a hotel because I was on a field trip to Charleston.  I ate breakfast and got on the bus.  We then went to the USS Yorktown, it's a big ship from the Vietnam war.  We then went to an aquarium and had chick-filet.  We then got back on the bus and headed home.  At home I did some requirements and took a shower.   

Today I woke up and got ready for school.  At school we did probability and did an activity with skittles.  In second block we played basketball and my team went ham.  In electives we just worked on a project.  And fourth block we finished another project.  I then went to TKD and did jumprope.  Next I went home and ate dinner, after dinner I did the dishes.  I then went upstairs, took a shower and started my laundry.

Today I went to Bath & Body Works, and Target to buy my best friend her birthday present. I ended up getting her 3 scented candles and a journal, but I had to wander both stores at least 5 times before deciding on a present! I don't regret it one bit however, because I am super satisfied with what I got her, it fits her personality perfectly.

I finished my running requirement yesterday. I only have a few more things to finish. I got behind because of school and being sick. I am excited to test next friday!

Today I got up, did my things, and went to school. At school I realized I am actually pretty good at basketball. After that I came home did requirements and went to T.K.D, then I ate, and now I am here. Good luck for testing!!

today in school was normal again. I also had soccer practice today as well. There wasn’t really anything interesting today at all.

Today was a really good day, especially in school. More specifically, in social studies. We started talking about World War II, and I like the topic so much because there is so much empathy that correlates with it. We got to hear true stories from people who actually lived within the time period, and it was fascinating how everyone had a different viewpoint, but yet they were all still in the same war. Even though today was great, I can't wait till tomorrow. After school, me and a few of my friends are going to go watch "Us." Watching a horror movie at night is probably not a good idea, but at least I'll have my friends with me.
