Candidate Journals

Today at school we finnaly had a normal schedule. We didn't get to go outside because of the rain. I also earned a new pair of shoes from the school for being a good student. That is all that happend today  

2nd day of work, today I got to care for a patient. There’s things that feel familiar to when I was in school, but other things that I was responsible for that I am now. It’s going to be a long transition into nursing, and I’m never going to know everything. But the key is to keep asking questions and working on learning and improving more. The people I’ve been working are great, having a supportive team is helpful. Another big aspect is to take care of yourself and find a routine. Something I’ve been reading a lot about with atomic habit. Today I did my physical reqs. before work, when I get off I going to attempt to go to a run.  

Today I got a decent amount of miles done in PE. Then, in social studies, we did a ton of games and kahoots for our test on Wednesday. and ELA went over our vocab. And in science the teachers went over the project in discovery Place that were doing tomorrow. then I came home after math and now I am eating and doing homework.

Hey guys! Happy Monday. As I mentioned in my last entry, I said I would write about the Super Bowl. So here it is. My thoughts on the Super Bowl are mixed. I don't exactly like football but i think it's starting to grow on me. At first the game was a bit boring, but after halftime, with the score being 10-3 it appeared as if the 49ers were winning. Yeah... no. The Chiefs scored a field goal and then a touchdown (+1 point conversion) At over time the score was 19-19. The 49ers scored a field goal in over time but it wasn't enough. The Chiefs had the ball and QB Patrick Mahomes made the winning pass. Everybody cheered. Hilariously, my Mom danced. She wanted the Chiefs to win but the boys in the house wanted the 49ers to win. It was hilarious to watch my Mom celebrate. Today we are...

I just woke up and did nothing because I’m very tired but I got ahead on todays stuff last night so I can just do nothing except run and I hope today goes well anyways have a good day!

Today was pretty fun. Of course had an amazing super bowl party. Wanted the niners to win it but it was still an awesome game.

Today was a normal day and it was kind of boring. I watched the Super Bowl and wanted the 49ers to win but the chiefs made a last second touchdown and they won. I’m sad the 49ers didn’t win but maybe they will next season.

Hello, trough out the week end I traveled to Baltimore, I was intending to go to my sisters baby shower, but unfortunately I ended up having a head ache and wasn't able to go :(.  I expected do my requirements while I was gone but I wasn't able to to.  Today I was able to ketch up on poomesae, pull ups, and plank.  I am going to try to get done with every thing I fell behind on through out this week.       Good night!   The 49ers better win -_-.  🏈

Today at church, I was in the dining room uncovering the food.  I looked up to tell everyone to start fixing their plates and as I looked toward the far, far end of the room, I saw my husband (he was supposed to be in West Virginia).  I said, "HEY, THERE'S TROY!  Then I said, IS THAT HIM?  : ) I was surprised because I didn't expect to see him until Monday.  I didn't run today because my knees are the size of elephants knees.  I worked on my self defense,  poomsae's and other requirements, and watched the first few seconds of the Super Bowl and the half-time show.  I usually watch the last quarter, but I really needed to get some reading in.  I don't know anything about football, but I do know the importance of the last inning or quarter, whatever it is.  I'm from Cali, so of course...

Today I woke up and watched TV, then had breakfast. After breakfast we got read for church.  After church we came home and had lunch, I did my black belt stuff. I helped mom make some brownies.  Brien came over and we had a nerf gun war!!! Then we had pizza and wings and watched the super bowl. Mom says it's gonna be a rough morning tomorrow 😬

Happy Sunday! Went to a great poomsae class this morning. Had a session with my mentors after that. Got my bb requirements in for the day. Had some quiet time at home with the guys and I'm getting ready to watch OT in the Superbowl. Hope everyone had a great Sunday!

Hello King Tiger! Today was a good day except I couldn't do my requirements because my parents made a rule that I should not do any requirements over 6 o' clock and I reached home at 7 because of shopping . Let's hope I could finish today's and tomorrow's requirements by tomorrow, which is most likely to last over an hour. 

A quick journal before I fall asleep!! Today I made a couple of drawings on these paint swatches I found! Each paint swatch had a name and, obviously, a color, so I drew something based on that. My favorite was ‘Bread Basket’, which was a painfully simple one but it was something I didn’t normally draw, which was nice

today was a chill day i finished my requirements early so i didn't have to worry about them. i mostly played fortnite and was on my phone did some studying and then watched the super bowl.

Today I’m very sick, so I didn’t leave the house. I am watching the Super Bowl right now. I exercised earlier today. Nothing much to write about.

Today I woke up, did requirements, and showered. That is not something I normally do in the morning, but I forgot to shower last night since I showered during the day. Then I went to church, I got to teach the kindergarten and 1st graders, which I always enjoy. They are so young, but some of them are just so smart. I then came home and helped get the house ready for the painters to come. Tomorrow and Tuesday we are getting most of our house repainted into a more modern and neutral color. Then I finished up my requirements for the day with my dad. Then I did some homework, my girlfriend came over, then I did some more homework. Afterwards I showered, stretched, and now I am here. 

Today I got to sleep in and it felt great! I ran 2 miles on the treadmill and I did my requirements. After I did all of that around 5 I went my friends house and I watched the superbowl. And I got to hang out with my friends. We had BBQ for dinner and before we left our friends donated to finished bags for bags of hope. 

Today I went mute and had to use a whiteboard, a marker, and a napkin to talk. I woke up hearing my dad say "Parker are you up?" and I couldn't say yes so I had to crawl out of my bed and wave my hands in the air like I just don't care. We then went to Walmart to shop for Valentines day. When we were at check out this woman forgot one of her bags so my dad said "run and go bring it to her." so I did but I accidently scared her but I couldn't say sorry or here you go so I just ran off like I was batman or something.

Today i slept in really late because i stayed up pretty late. I did wake up with a lot of energy and cleaned my room and then showered. We then went over pumsaes and self defense down stairs and watched the super bowl at a friends house. now i’m going to do some laundry and slump. 

Today was a catchup day because yesterday I spent most of the day out at a dinner and a party. So today I caught up on all my homework and then went driving with my dad. My arms were still sore from Black Belt Class but I managed for the most part.

I started my day by throwing up a lot. i dont know if i ate something bad at the party or just stayed up too late but i feel horrible. i stayed in bed all day and hope to feel better tomorrow. got to watch a little of the super bowl before they nyquil kicked in and now headed to bed again. hope everyone is safe and feeling better than me. stay safe.

I am very sore from yesterday. The demo team tryout was fun and very much worth it, but I am extremely sore. I finished my science project and talked with my friend. After watching the killer half-time show, I am now lying in bed whilst talking with my friend…..

Today was my first nurse shift on the unit. I saw some very interesting patients and medical interventions. I will be under the guidance of a preceptor for about a few months, building to be more comfortable with patients on my own. Each shift I need to work on being more comfortable and competent in my skills. I also have to manage the black belt cycle with doing 12 hr shifts. Good thing I been working really hard in January to stay on track. 

Hi King Tiger Family. I hope everyone is doing well. We are at the mid point... and making great progress. This is where we should be starting to refine your black belt level skills and use your mentor sessions to ask questions. It is was a great Sunday. Got up like normal, went to church, family had lunch, and then some requirements. We also have some painters coming tomorrow to paint our house so we spent time today getting ready for that too. Now, I am watching Super Bowl and actually in the Normatec(s) to help with some recovery. Getting settled for the rest of the evening and hopefully bed a decent hour. Have a great night and week. Take care.  

2/11: today went relatively well, mostly just got stuff done. I went and got breakfast with my mom, worked on chemistry homework, worked on my papers, went out to lunch, and now I'm watching the Superbowl with my mom. today was extremely simple, and that's always a good thing. not many plans for the rest of the night but I might do some drawing or exercises if I can't sleep. LET'S GO NINERS!!!!!!

Hello king tiger family. Today was a normal Sunday. I got up and watched tv for a few hours, went to the grocery store, washed my hair, did requirements and got ready for the super bowl! It is really exciting to see it again and I hope you are ready! I am rooting for the chiefs, who are you rooting for?

 Hello. I am writting my journal now cause i will be busy watching the super bowl and may forget. Today I  went to poomsae class and it was fun. Af After that,  I went to workout with my dad and I jogged/walked 2 miles. I worked on my essay and now relaxing at homw watching the superbowl. Who is your favorite to win?

Hi guys, do you know what day it is? If you guess Sunday you're partially right. Actually, scratch that - there are two correct answers. If you guessed that it's SUPER BOWL Sunday then you would also be correct. If you want the Chiefs to win, that's cool. If you want San Francisco to win, then we think alike. Maybe I'll check in later, but right now I'm going to a party with my friends. Good luck football fans! 

Today I slept in. Since it is my dads B-Day we went to 131 Main for lunch. After lunch I did some more of my essays and then we ate dinner and I typed this then we watched the SUPER BOOOOOWWWWWLLLL!!!!!

Today was so much fun. I had black belt class while our do jang was on zoom with Master Evins. It was a great class since I got a ton of work on my Bo Cho specials. After instructiong class and little tigers, I went out to lunch with a friend and then came back to the do jang for the demo team tryouts. I had so much fun during the tryouts and Master Osborne is such an enjoyable teacher. I hope I did well, but I really learned how to improve myself especially after my knee recovery and saw where I can improve on both my flexibility, speed, and strength in my techniques.

Today started with black belt class, afterwards I taught some classes. At home It was pretty normal, at one point my dog had my hand enveloped in her paws and my hand fell asleep. At night I went to watch the aadams family musical with some friends. Then we got dinner and went to the park. It was very wet out so we got soaked but overall a fun day.

Today I woke up early and went to black belt class and got an assistant credit and other things. Then I went to a part at 4pm and just got home at 11:30pm. I'm so tired right now I' going to cry. I hope everyone had a great day and stay safe. goodnight....

I attended sparring class today.  We're working on splits and limbering up for higher kicks.  The rest of the day was a blur.  Requirements are coming along fine.  

Today was pretty busy. My cousins slept over so i tried not to wake them up when i left for sparring. After sparring i helped out with the junior tiger class then broke boards with hudson. after i got home I had a very late breakfast then relaxed before i showered to go to a restaurant with my family. the food was good but took a while to come. After that we went to costco and i learned that they discontinued my favorite churros. When i got home i immediately crashed on the coach and started practicing for my written test. Now i am watching a movie with my family.

This morning I went to take some classes. During my 9AM sparring class, however, I got kicked in the knee fast and hard, but I didn’t want to think much of it. I iced it for a few minutes then went back on the mats. Two hours later, it feels worse than it did at 9AM. I went home to properly RICE (rest, ice, compression and elevate) it, alongside some light movement/stretches. None of it seems to help, but I’m sure it’ll be better tomorrow morning.

Today I woke up and went to sparring . Immediately after that I had to go to my birthday party and  I  had a lot of fun. When I got home I did some requirements and then I built a new Lego set I got . After that I slept.

Happy Saturday! Went to black belt class this morning. Got my black belt requirements in. Took Jovi to piano. Got some work done and some laundry done. Took Jovi to watch his piano teacher perform at Summit coffee and Jovi got to play Iron Man on his guitar. Fun evening. Hope everyone had a great day. 

Today I woke up and I had sparring and I helped out with a class. Then I went home and chilled out because I was pretty tired. Then I went to target and got some stuff that I needed. Then I came home and unloaded the car and then I just chilled out and went to bed.

I am wiped out from demo camp today. It was a great opportunity. Even if I didn't make the team, I feel much stronger with the kicks and tricks I attempted and practiced. I think everyone who showed up saw some improvement. It's also nice to see that even if we all go different dojangs, we still encourage and help each other. I should continue to practice some the movements; I can only get better if I try and work on them. Other than demo, I've worked on my book essay and found a follow-along stretching video on YouTube to do for my middle splits. There are tons of videos on YouTube, the main thing is to be consistent in stretching; however, this video's drills made me much more comfortable pushing further into my split.  

first i woke up and went to class then i got home then did some requirments after i went on the vr then i went to get my brother  from work then i polayed some more vr then i wnet to macs speed shop bye  

Today I woke up and went to Black Belt class for the first Saturday in a while. We dud a lot of self-defense, which was fun because I got to work with my dad and Instructor Logan (future master). I enjoyed being able to be more dynamic and having a chance to practice falling. I then got a hair cut, which I desperately needed. I then came home and showered. Afterwards, I got lunch with my girlfriend. Followed by, going to Urban Air, which was crowded. We made the most of it and had a lot of fun. Then we went to the track to workout. It was a hard, interval workout, which I always enjoy over longer workouts. I then came home, did some requirements, and now I am here. 

Hello King Tiger! BBC was really great today. I think I am getting used to doing class with the Zoom meetings and stuff. I took the Family class and helped out on both of the Little Tigers class. After TKD, I did my requirements and after lunch,  I helped with parents cleaning the home and the garden. I played with my brother and our neighbor's kid until it started raining. We had visitors at our home today. After this journal, I am going to eat dinner and I am going to go to sleep. I think I had a good day today though. I will see at least most of you on Wednesday. Also, Logan is a graduate now!!!!!!!

Today I woke up early for black belt class. Master Evians zoomed in for class and we did a lot of practicing self defense. After class I went to a birthday party and after that party I got ready to go to my moms Birthday dinner a Fire Birds.

Another weekend and the start of week 6. Like normally, I went to black belt class this am and we did a lot of niche specials and 1st Dan specials. Then I did 3 miles today and I had to prepare to go to my sister’s concert and she played the contrabass clarinet. It was cool to listen the sound of all different instruments. Afterwards, we dropped my sister off to a birthday party and then we went to a Mexican restaurant to eat dinner.The food was amazing and it filled me up right away. Now at home watching season 2 of Halo. Enjoy your weekend!!

today I had to wake up early to do black belt class with master Evans on zoom. Then I had to shoot over to my basketball game which we won. After that I watched my brothers basketball game and did some homework. Then I watched my other brother’s basketball game and watched the movie with my family. After that, I ate lunch chilled for a while, and now I am hanging with my friends. 

I couldn't sleep well because of my toe. I couldn't even put my toe under the covers of my bed so I was cold all night. In the morning I woke up so tired that I fell back asleep as soon as I woke up. After TKD me and my friend went to get something to eat and there was a weird waitress that would give us mean looks so that was a little odd.

Hello king tiger family! Today was my grandmas birthday so after sparring class this morning at 9:00 am (Yes, that is very early) I left my dojang and went to cracker barrel and my cousins and aunt came too. After that we all went to my grandmas house and had a great time. When me and my mom left, we came back to our place and started working on a social studies project around 4 pm. And we are still working on it as of right now so I am going to get back to helping her. Have a good night!

2/10: today was extremely long but i got a lot done. i finished most of my requirements and practiced my rolls and falls. after class, me and parker went out to lunch. then i came home and worked on my papers, im almost done with them now. tonight i plan to just relax and do some drawing.

Today I woke up and had breakfast.  Then I got ready for Black Belt class.  Next I was at KT  and doing black belt class.  We did lots Bocho and Bocho specials ALOT!! Then I did a mentor session with Instructor Jen, we worked on my test answers, now I have them all to study.  Then I went home and did my black belt stuff and ran a mile, I also read some more of my cycle book.  A little later we will be going to La Unica for my LaLa's birthday.  Then I will be goin to bed after dinner.

Today I went to my Saturday BBC class. We did Bo-Cho specials and 1st degree specials (aka knife defense). I came home and went shopping with my parents (I hate it so much). I am on my way back now.

I forgot to journal last night. But it was graduation night, I graduated early and then I went out with some friends. Today was cool too, went to a basketball game for my now old school in which they blew the other team out. Then went to cookout with the squad.

I had a good jog today.  Lots of hills and thank God I have the gift of gab, because I ran my mouth throughout the whole run to get my mind off of the hills...much better than yesterday.  I'm happy to have someone to run with.  I'm really excited about the Hot Chocolate 5k we're training for.  Well, the social media algorithm stuck a MudGirl run into my feed today, I guess because I signed up for the HC 5k, so now I'm participating in the mud run...by myself, but I'll meet some people as I always do.  Black Belt class was successful for me.  We did rolls, falls, self-defense, poomsae's and my version of a split.  We ate pizza and fruit after which was in line with National Pizza Day today.  I went home, played with the dogs (separately) and worked on the remainder of my requirements.  Thank you Avery...

Today was pretty fun compared to how the rest of this week has been. School was fun because we had a pep rally, which I usually just do a study hall while it's going on, but I decided to hang out with some new friends and it was a blast. Black belt class today was also qute enjoyable because me and two other Bo Cho Dan's were having so much fun messing up Bo Cho Specials but also did extremely well on our last attempts at it. I am trying out for the King Tiger Demo Team tomorrow and I am so nervous. I just came back from a knee injuury and it still isn't at it's 100%. I just hope everything goes well.......

Today would be the day I would be going to states for track. Still a little upset, but I made it through today. I had a fairly normal day. I had a test in my government class, which went well. I then had a meeting for JROTC where our team practiced our brief for our project. That also went well. Afterwards, I came home and did some homework. I have the whole weekend to get some stuff done, but I wanted to get a jump start on the work. After that, I went to Black Belt class; I had so much energy in class, which was unusual, but felt good. I then came home and hung out with my girlfriend after eating dinner. Then she left, I showered, read, and now I am here. 

Hello guys. How's your day? Has it been good? Awesome, i hope it has! Today's TKD standards were kinda stressful. Some other kids and I were tested on self defense and poomsaes. I was nervous and I think some of the other kids were too. I was upset because I wasn't sure about some of my poomsaes that I should know. But on the bright side were all here to help each other whether it's something we forgot or something we still have to learn. That's how it should always be. We all feel doubtful from time to time. So just set your focus and ask for some help. And keep going. You got this. I'll see you all tomorrow for black belt class. good nighht

today we had a half day in school so it went by pretty fast.in math we just did our retest. and right after math for some reason we had 5th period so in social studies we finished our poster. In science we just played games and in ela we just read. after i went to ms bowers class for lunch and just stayed there the entire rest of the day which wasn’t that long. when i got home i did my requirements then relaxed then went to my tkd weekend class. when we were getting pizza it took almost an hour to get ready so i stayed in the car for a while. i got home at and my cousins came and now we are watching a movie.

2/9: today was relatively easy, i had a chemistry quiz that i think i made a 100 on. i came home and fell asleep for a few minutes then woke up, got up and got ready for classes. today we had advanced sparring class, black belt classes, and then we all ate pizza. now im going to end the night by just talking to some friends.

today i didnt do much, i went to class and helped. afterwards, i came home and did some homework and fell asleep

Today, I had to stay mute for 12 hours. It was difficult being unable to put my input on things, but it helped me be a better listener. It was entertaining watching my friends try to get me to talk throughout the school day and during the weekend black belt class. To my success, they failed.  My school friends had tried poking fun, making me laugh, and bribery to make me talk. In the end though, they were super impressed with my determination and helped me through the day, explaining to other people why I couldn’t talk and taking the time to translate my gestures. My friend even taught me some sign language; although simple, I’m really grateful for them. 

Today I ran went to school (IT WAS A HALF DAY!!!!) get home played with friends and went to class. Then I went to dinner with my grandparents and uncle who is visiting from NJ and I'm now stuffed. I hope everyone had a great day and stay safe!

Leadership two is done.  Stretching is going well, but now I also need to add more of a mix of strengthening kick drills and color belt kicks. I still need to learn staff form #4 & #5, Anyo Isa, and double sticks #1 & #2. And I need to review all the new things I've learned. Finished atomic habits and I need to start the essay. I can start looking at more information for the 7 hand technique essay. And I need to review the study guide for the written exam. Overall making progress, but I need to continue with the progress and push myself to reach my ambitions. Making it achievable and finding time to rest. 

Good Evening King Tiger Family. Today was a normal day, went to school and received some things I should have gotten yesterday inside of my Thursday folder. They also revealed that we are having an award ceremony soon. I had to make up my math MAP testing and I think I did well. I cut my finger open in art class. It was a small cut and as long as I'm not rough with it and let it heal it will be okay. We were cutting out things for our art project for black history month. After school I went to taekwondo class. We practiced high yellow and green belt poomsae and self defense. We also worked on kicks and rolls. I didn't stay for pizza and came home and relaxed and then finished my exercises. I'm about to shower and get ready for bed. I have sparring in the morning...

Happy Friday! Can't believe I forgot to post last night. Yesterday, worked, got all my bb requirements done, and survived a sparring class. Today I worked, got my bb requirements done, and went to black belt class this evening. Between yesterday and today I got in 3.5 miles. I'm looking forward to Super Bowl weekend. Hope everyone had a great day!

Today I had a 1/2 day at school and I had a normal day. We just did everything shorter because we left at 12 and because valentine is next week. We made a heart valentines basket and after school I got to chill out for a couple hours and rest and then I didn't work out for my taekwondo requirements and then I went to early Ssparing and I did my black belt class. We had pizza for dinner at taekwondo and set up for the junior tiger class on Saturday morning.

Today was day two of my sore toe. I tried to do my black belt requirements. I got the requirements done but my toe hurt the whole time and I had to lift up my leg to do push ups, burpees, and planks because I couldn't put any amount of pressure on my toe. I went to TKD early for the advanced sparring class and I could only kick with my right foot and that made me upset.

Today I had a good day at school because it is Friday. After school my grandpa came for the weekend because it is my moms birthday tomorrow and it's my dads birthday on Sunday. My grandma will come tomorrow afternoon.

 i was so happy because i could go to school today we did fun stuff then i did some reqiirments then i wewnt to block 3 after i went to kt then i got icecream  then i play vr bye                                           (new gorilla tag update)

First thing I did this morning was wake up! Then I got ready for school.  Then we walked to school and I ate a poptart.  When I got to school I did blocks and recess.  Finally I went to King Tiger and ran a mile and did my black belt stuff.  Then I did black belt class.  Then we finally went home and had dinner and then I went to bed.

Hello King Tiger Family. It has been a pretty good day. Had a bunch of productive meetings at work and starting to see some progress on some things. Had some situation that we should be able to resolve but it is silly and we should have taken care of this already. All good. Got our dogs home from doggy cay care and grabbed Nate from school. Got some food for Nate and I, and then we head to Black Belt Class. Looking forward to class. See you all soon. Take care.

Today was a regular day at school again. My teachers were feeling nice I guess and didn't give much homework. When I got home I did my requirements and am getting ready for black belt class.

today I woke up super early to do some homework. Then I got my miles done in PE. Social studies is very boring because we just studied for our test. In ELA we had to go to the media center because of something happening to the ceiling. The rest of the day was very slow until I got home. I did basketball and ate tons of food. Now I am getting ready for class bye.

Hello King Tiger! You might be wondering, how is Praneeth typing a journal at about 1 o'clock in the afternoon, when he should be at school? The answer to that question is, drumroll please, I have no school today!!! I am just about to finish my requirements for today when I got hungry and ate breakfast now. Guess what, today is national pizza day! Hope everyone has a great day today and I 'll see during Black Belt Class.    Hey quick joke: Why is Friday a happy day? Because the next day is a sadder day

I went running before sparring class, it was a guided interval speed training run. So had to run different paces for 80 secs with 80 sec rest.  The guided run voice on my app said to fully take the rest, don't try to keep running in-between rounds. You have to fully rest before you can give it your all. Especially this week with on the orientation modules for work, I feel like I keep running, and moving, and doing something. There always something to do.  But I can keep moving and moving and moving, trying to give my all all the time. I really have to almost force myself to stop and slow down, recover. There so much I want to do, but if I don't stop to recover, I can't give it my all.  

The morning weather was perfect for running, and run I did.  

today i went to jail then i went to sparring class and did a mentor session with master weeks. im running on 4 hours of sleep so i was so tired today but i still powered through. please be summer already.

Interesting day today! When I woke up, I was pretty excited because we had double p.e and we were going to launch rockets in the science club. Basically the rocket was made of cardboard, bottles, and tape, and we had to use air pressure to launch it without water so me and my fellow classmates were using all our strength on the bicycle pump. It was pretty hard but we managed to launch it up high in the sky. After school I assisted class for 6:00 and then took sparring class. It was pretty fun but for some reason I felt pretty tired. Back home, I ate and was able to watch Halo. Good night to all!!

Today i had a math test and i got a 11/12 which is one of the best scores in the entire class. In science we “graduated” from the unit so my teacher did this whole thing and gave us diplomas and cookies and juice which was yummy and for the rest of the class we played games. I don’t really remember what we did in spanish cause is kept zoning out. In social studies we finished our poster and we just have to color it. In Ela we had a sub who was my former science teacher so i really liked her. We went to the media center for the entire class period and did an assignment. Me and my friend Rachael were laughing so hard because of what anderson was doing so i had fun. After school i had a snack then went to my mentee session. Then i headed...

Hi King Tiger Family. Thursday night. All is well. Went to sparring and helped with classes before. Got a mentee session in as well. Need more Leadership, so need to ask more often. Did some requirements and ate a yummy dinner my wife cooked. Getting ready for bed and then resting for the next day. Have a great night and weekend. Take care.

Today my history teacher dropped my grade for some reason. I did the test in the back and the lessons except for one but she said "You can just do that one for homework because you have been good for the past two weeks just turn it in on Monday." We also had five more minutes of class left and I don't know why she said I've been good for two weeks, I've been good for three weeks so I was mad about that. After school I went too TKD at the North Charlotte location for sparring. After the match I felt something dripping. It was blood, I look down and it was my bruised toe and I don't know how.

Hello King Tiger! I couldn't type yesterday's journal because I was busy doing a project and I went to sleep at about 11 o'clock. Today started off great. I went to school and got a 100 on a test. I turned in the project today during that class. I did the requirements and went to sparring class. Sparring was fun, I guess. I really need to get more leaderships credits. I just watched Percy Jackson and I am typing my journal now. See y'all tomorrow!

Today I had a good day at school and for every holiday we make cards and stuff for old age homes so for Valentine’s Day we made paper roses. The funny thing was that me and one other person were the only people who figured out how to make them so we did all the work but still needed to make 48 more. Knowing this I did the roses at home and then did my requirements. After that I had dinner and I’m about to go to bed.

Hello guys. Today will be a short journal because i have to work on my essays. So let me tell you about sparring class. I was sparring a smaller kid and I didn't know whether to kick her because I didn't want to overwhelm her but master marcus said to kick her so I was feeling confused. But when I spar someone my own size I throw all sorts of kicks. I can feel myself improving and that's what it's all about. Anyway, hope you guys had a great day and i hope that your black belt cycle is going well. See you tomorrow at black belt class. Hugs and kicks, Matthew.

I woke up and got ready for school.  Then we walked to school.  At school we did blocks.  After school I got to King Tiger and did most of my black belt stuff.  I did sparring and I sparred the same kid twice.  Also Brien came to watch me spar! Finally we went home had dinner, showered and I finished my self defense and wrote this journal!

I woke up today and did my normal thing, except no requirements. I then went to school, which was pretty fun. I had JROTC today and it was uniform day. I then went home and hung out with my girlfriend. I did some studying while she was over. I then went to Tae Kwon Do. I helped out with class and took sparring. My dad got a little injury at sparring so I spent some of the class making sure he was "ok." I then went home ate and did some requirements. I then showered and now I am here. 

Today I woke up early and put posters in then went to school. I've already raised $206 and I would like to raise more for my band so please support me if you can! After school I went straight to class then did all of my requirements. I went home and did homework then I started crying because I'm so tired. I hope everyone had a great day and stay safe!

Today I went to school and we had to do book clubs in reading. When I got home I went to TKD and helped with the 3 classes. I did a mentee session and then a mentor session with Master Foster. I got frustrated before TKD because I am tired and need a break. 

 today i did some requirments then i watched some tv bye

Today I had another normal day at school with no tests.   After school I read some of a book for school and did my requirements.  I helped in 515 class, took 6 o'clock class and then did sparring. Its Chick fil A time and then bed.  

Hello! Today I went to school and had art today and then I had a decently hard math test, and I wasn't that confident with it :(.  After school I did my homework then did my requirements, after that I had Burger King.  I couldn't get to Sparring Class today, because I was on a tight schedule.  So my dad just cut my hair for our trip to Baltimore tomorrow!       Good night!

Today I went to school and didn't really do much. When I got home I did my requirements and some homework. Then I went to sparring.

today was very slow so there’s not much that happened in school. But I did get picked up early for a dentist appointment. It was super quick and they said I have zero cavities and I’m brushing and flossing well. Then I went over whom sings and self-defense for a while when I got home. then I went to sparring class, it was great. Now I am at home, showering and eating before I go to bed. Good night!

Today, after coming from school, and I went to Tae Kwon Do where I had sparring. I sparred three times, and someone unfortunately got injured while I was there. I am going to take a shower now and do homework.

Hello King Tiger Family. Today I went to school and had a normal day, we got  Thursday folders and report cards. I got all  A's so here come my blue pants! Well I got an A average last quarter too though. After school I went home and did requirements and now I am relaxing. Tomorrow is Friday so yay!

School so far is going well. We just had a meeting for CPCC (college) courses if we want to take any in the future. I'm not sure if I will next year, I might wait so that I can do summer courses. Overall another uneventful day. Though I did once again forget to journal yesterday. Another habit I really need to break: forgetting.......

I fell asleep sometime inbetween read my book for school, Night by Elie Wiesel, and doing requirements. I’ll have to do some math when I get home today to find out how much I did, oops!  Today, we have a socratic seminar, and while usually I tend to watch more than speak, I want to be more involved in the conversation today.  I’m going mute tomorrow, as it is a Friday which means my classes are shorter and we do a lot of team based activities during the second half of the school day. Because it is team based, I’m going to have to find out creative ways to communicate with my group, as we’re normally not allowed to use our phones. It is going to be interesting, and good for my essay!!!

Today I woke up the. Did my black belt requirements except my run but I hope it will go by fast because I’m exhausted of school since all school is, is just go to it and try not to fall asleep

today i went to jail and then went to taekwondo and did a leadership and attended black belt class. now i have to do homeworrk.

Today I worked on more kicks than usual along with my other requirements.  A shipmate of mine called to see if I was still running in the Hot Chocolate 5k, but was worried that we were supposed to train close to a year earlier, as she was confused with training for a marathon.  I assured her that we could run the 5k.  We will run three miles in the morning using the Galloway method.  I'm really excited about the run.  

Today was another one of those autopilot days. I did the same things as usual. Worked, went home and ate dinner. Played with my dog, and am chillin.

Today was a long day. I woke up, did my thing, and went to school. Today I met with one of my counselors to talk about my classes for next year. I then came home and hung out with my girlfriend for a little bit. I then went and worked out. I came home afterwards and went to youth group at our church. Afterwards I came home and read for a while since I have reading due tomorrow. Now I am here.
