Day 5 (7/22/26)

Today I finished all of my requirements as soon as possible then I did a 3 hour live stream with Aiden, Antoine, and Laylah. After that I watched YouTube videos for a while then I went to my first ever black belt class. I wasn’t expecting for us to do sticks and staffs as well. It was a great experience and I enjoyed it a lot. Then, me and Master Weeks had a Mentor session where I learned a lot.

Day 3 (7/20/26)

Today I focused on getting my physical requirements done early. I finished everything at 1 PM and then I relaxed and played FIFA with my brother and I went to class at 5 and left at 8. Then I showered and took a nap. After that nap I ate dinner and felt like I had a very productive day.

I woke up at 5 AM to get ready for my pretest today and it was a cool experience. I was surrounded by people who were so good at Tae Kwon Do and it felt like I was watching people on a level way too far away. I also had my birthday party a few hours after the pre-test which was nice
