Candidate Journals

I woke up today and did the rest of my homework then went to school. I then did all my classes and got home to do a KT class and get a mentee session in. I then went out to dinner and then did some homework and went to sleep. 

Oh gosh, I'm so tired and its only Monday. I think I'm still recovering from lack of sleep this past weekend but today definitely felt like a Monday. School was fine, I was fighting to keep my eyes open all morning though. I came home and did my homework, requirements, ate dinner, and relaxed the rest of tonight. I don't know about you guys but the end of cycle is starting to feel really close and I'm getting so excited to test! I hope everyone had a great start to the week! ~ Peyton

Today was pretty good for a Monday. School was as to be expected, with nothing to crazy going on. After school, I got on with my requirements. I'm really trying my hardest to keep up with the minutes from weeks 4-8 so I can perform at my best for the physical test. I went to King Tiger this evening and I was able to complete all of my required mentor sessions. I'm still planning to keep on practicing with my mentor but at least their is no more pressure on how many more sessions I need to do. I went for a run this evening and I was hoping to get 4 miles done but I only managed to get 2. I'm hoping that I can go to the track tomorrow to get a good quality run tomorrow.

Today was kind of not good. I had TWO tests on a Monday and I forgot my water bottle. But other than that, I used my bad day as a motivation to run and my mile time today was two whole minutes lower than my average. So Im really proud of that.

Today I woke up and went to school for the "wonderful" 7 hours of my life. Later I went home with my dad and got home, once I did I ate a few snacks then read a book about halfway. I then went upstairs, got dressed, and went to taekwondo. During class we practised a lot, sinowallys, self defences, poomsaes, and stick forms 1 and 2. I then headed to a place for food pickup, I then went to my mums house and played a hilarous game. I am about to leave here but I hope everyone had an amazing day!

Junior Instructor's camp.went very well! Lots of first timers and they all had a good time and worked hard. I always enjoy my session, Instructor Rob and I teach it together....Teamwork!  The kiddos had a ton of fun and its always loud and crazy. We got some really good responses to our questions, why this worked or that didn't.  I am being generous when I say 3 hours of sleep and then poomsae class. Master Marcus had us do some partner massage work and that was awesome. Baby Olive even jumped in to help Peyton when she was doing my back. We worked on the timing of Oh Jang which is now stuck in my head. And also turning in our back stances. Definitely something useful for me....I feel like my back stances have been a little on the long side lately.  Hope everyone's week started off well!

Today at school I talked with my friends at breakfast and ate the breakfast. I talked with my friends Suzana in 1st block health and we were the only ones there at our table. Then we went to Second block which was computer science and I was kind of confused. There was one table that was really loud and it was tiring. At 3rd block I was tired and barely did anything halfway through class. I have B lunch so halfway through class I went to lunch. At lunch me and my friends decided to table hopped and talked to a lot of girls. After lunch I wasn’t tired anymore so I finished everything the second half of third block. At 4th block I was just ready to go home and I did well at the first 3 quarters of class but the last little bit I didn’t get anything done....

Today I went to the black belt weekday class and was part of a kicking session focused on more difficult kicks. I also got my mentor session as I improved upon hapkido 1-3 and learned hapkido 4 

    Today was a chill day. I woke up. Had a nice breakfast before my mom took us to school. I had a good day at school and rode the bus to King tiger. When I got there, I focused on my homework and helped out with a lesson before doing a session with Master Sri. When I got home, I finished my homework. I am about to do my black belt stuff and get my exercise done for the night. Good night 😴

Today was fun! I got home from myrtle beach and did my requirements (per usual) but then i went to my friends birthday party. it was super fun and i loved it. also on the car ride home i realized that the written test is in less than 2 weeks and the final test is in less that 3. thats so crazy, time passes by fast.

Today was pretty chill. I did 4 miles yesterday so no running today. I got to sleep in and had a great breakfast. Was kinda just chilling until my sparring class. It was a little more hard today especially considering I’m probably worst in the class since all of them are pro. but fighting ppl better than u makes u better so it’s a win ig. After that I was planning with my friend because we are both starting a club at my school so we did some stuff for it to plan for our interest meeting. Then I had an early dinner, took my dog for a walk and watched a movie with my family. That’s all goodnight!

Today I had a barbecue with my family and besides that I didn’t really do much

Today was a great day. I woke up early to head over to the Jr. Instructors camp and lead a 50-minute session with 31 kids. We did a board-breaking drill, but with a twist: each student wrote something they find difficult on their board first. The goal was to give them a physical break through a mental obstacle—or at least spark that mindset. Everyone cheered each other on, and the overall flow of the class was fantastic. ​After camp wrapped up, I came home and knocked out most of my daily requirements. Since it was NFL Kickoff Sunday, I spent plenty of time watching games while taking care of random chores around the house. I ended up crashing for about an hour nap mid-game; I must have been more exhausted than I realized. ​Later in the evening, we grabbed dinner as a family and then headed to my in-laws' house to...

Today was a pretty chill day. I did my Daily run and exercise exercises learn more about my pomsae in self-defense and did some rescheduling to make my calendar more available.

today i went to my sat prep class in the morning until 1 pm. i came home to shower and i went to my friends house for lunch. i then went straight to robotics. i then came home and worked on my reqs and practice my forms and self defenses mostly js worked on anyo isa though

Today I woke up then did nothing, so I chilled. Then I ate breakfast, and guests came over. After that I went down, ate lunch, then went outside on my electric scooter. Then I played football with my friends. American football. Then I chatted with my friends, then I went home. did some practice. Then I chilled for the rest of the afternoon.

Today I woke up and ate breakfast. Then went to go to the pool for a while. Then went to the mall for some things. Then later went to eat somewhere.Then went home feel like sleeping.

I had another restful day today. Besides slowly chipping away at the daily requirements, I really did not do much. For me, these last few weeks have been absolutely flying by, so it is crazy to me that we are already on Week 9. I hope this week I can finish, or come really close to finishing things like leadership credits and mentor sessions. I think this week will be the same level of busyness, so hopefully I can get some good rest and start the week off on a good note.

Today I went to church and it was a very good sermon. It was about actually applying things from scripture and sermons. It was also about how you can skip if you just listen. After Church I finished my English assignment. Truth be told I started it and finished it today. After church I went to sparring and I actually visibly improved. I sparred Sebastian for the first time and he’s a different level. I thought Quan was talented but he looks gifted. There’s actually a difference. After sparring I finished all of my requirements that I didn’t do yesterday and today’s which took a while then I did a mile and showered then I went to sleep.

I think i'm almost done with my journals I have like 8 left. Today was a pretty slow sunday. I didn't do much or go anywhere. I had a lot of time to get my requirements done and practice. Thats what I like about weekends. I used to play volleyball on weekends but I guess everyones either too busy or too lazy to come. Anyway, its fine, gives me more time to do other things that are probably more productive. I'm kind of scared i'll start to not be good at volleyball anymore, but its not like I play for a team so that doesn't really matter much. Getting good at volleyball is a summer thing anyway. right now my focus is all on the black belt cycle and school. Speaking of which I still have a lot of homework. 

Today was an okay day. Everyone got to sleep in this morning, so that was really nice. I was making videos most of today. I was working on my 4th video and our power went out. My mom checked crime radar & apparently a tree limb was laying on the power lines and caught fire & the power lines ended up falling. So, we've been without power for the past 2 hours so far. So that sucks. We're just waiting on that so we can shower and get ready for bed.

I woke up today from a long day yesterday in jr. instructor camp. I got home around 10 after breakfast and the ceremony. I then slept 2 hours and got straight to homework I then had lunch and got back to it. The homework took me a while and I didn’t get time to finish it yesterday or the day before. That was pretty much my day just finishing school stuff until I went to sleep.

Yesterday and today I helped out with Jr. Instructors Camp. It was a blast as always! I feel like no matter how many times I attend or help out, I always learn something new. Whether its a new teaching technique, different way to handle situations, or just fun drills and skills, there is always something a lesson to learn. Thank you to all the masters and instructors that helped out, couldn't have been done without you! I stayed for poomsae class today and ended up getting home around noon today. My feet are absolutely dead and I'm exhausted but I had to get my requirements and homework done. Definitely going to bed soon, I only got about 4 not so good hours of sleep last night. I hope everyone had a great weekend! ~ Peyton

Today was a busy day as I came home from a sleepover. I got ready did my physical requierments and then ate lunch early. after this we went to the movie theater and watched a movie. Then I got home changed and went to a birthday party. Once I got home I ate dinner and wrote this journal.

  Today was an exciting day. I woke up at King Tiger Jr. Instructors camp put on my uniform Before packing up. We did a nice morning workout Before I helped Set up the breakfast that Master Lloyd is known that Master Lloyd is known for. After that, they all came to the back and I helped serve. After that, we did some board breaking before doing the ceremony. I was lucky enough to get the leadership award. After that, I went home and took a nice nap. I got my exercises Done before playing with my friends and eating some nice dinner. A little bit more before eating some ice cream going off to bed. Good night 😴

13 Today I woke up earier than usual because I have a math class so I'm able to do my running and tkd requirments. After the requirments, I had just the perfect amount of time to shower and which I folled it right after with the math class. After the math class my day was pretty calm, I went to my friends house with another friend and we hung out. Their mom made food so I had lunch there. Their mom is a really good cook. After that I stayed for 2 hours and walked back to my home. Overall it was a pretty calm and fun day. 8/10

I had Jr Instructor camp this weekend. It was awesome. I got 4.5 hours of sleep. That’s more than I normally get. Came home and took a nap. After my nap, I got going on requirements. I went to the pool for the final day that it is open. I will sleep good tonight!

I’m trying very hard to fight testing jitters. Several of my instructors have been giving me pep talks already lol. Worrying won’t help so I’m trying to just focus on buttoning up requirements. There’s nothing I’m completely lost on, just can’t lose momentum I think. Gonna keep trying to do extra requirements as well. I do think the fact that I’m so nervous also means I’ll do better. Although it’s not fun now lol I don’t need the nerves yet. Park was nice today too. At one point we were all in a circle, facing in, and tried il chang and koreyo. That was fun.

Today I woke up early in the morning around 7:00. I then went to Black Belt Class at Lake Norman. It was pretty fun there after class. I stayed longer to attend the 9:30 class to help out and teach others. After that l went back home and relaxed from all the tests and stuff from school. After I did a little bit of taekwondo and went to a party around 4:30. I stayed there till like 8:00 until my friend came over to my house we played sooo much minecraft together and build stuff. He left 12:00 and after that I went to sleep.

Woke up early and attended black belt class. I really enjoyed the session this morning. Right after, I headed over to my in-laws' house to help set up for my father-in-law’s 75th birthday party—his birthday was a few weeks back, but today was the big celebration. ​From there, I rushed home to grab my car and went over to King Tiger to help out and take some photos at the Jr. Instructors Camp. I couldn't stay long with the party underway, so I wrapped up, rushed back home to change, and headed back to the party. ​It was a fantastic turnout—great barbecue, good music, and awesome people to catch up with. Later in the evening, Texas pulled off a victorious, nail-biting win against Ohio State—an absolute classic game. ​Heading to bed now to rest up before leading the breaking routine with the kids in the morning.

 Today I Did a black boat class. And I went and played Airsoft with my friends. That’s all that I did today really

hiiii guys, i went to bbc this morning and it was really fun. i then came home and did a lottttttt of homework and then went to my friends dance recital. im now back home doing more work. im planning on going to the park tmw to train with everyone. goodnight!!

Today I was so tired all day. Most likely because I had a late night last night and an early morning today. Anyways, class was good this morning, we got to try out some new kicking drills which are always pretty fun. After class, it took me a considerable amount of time to do my requirements. I really didn't do much today because I am trying to let myself rest. I had a restful day overall which I am hoping my body will be thankful for tomorrow. That wraps up my day.

I just wrote a whole blog and I don’t think it posted. Hope it’s does but that’s irritating. I’m writing some music on piano that’s going good and going to bed as early as I can for park tomorrow that’s all.

12 Today was a good day. I got my tkd requirements in early l. I was also able to do my forms much better today. The rest of the day I just did home work, practiced for an event and played videogames.

today i had a pretty busy day. i went to black belt class this morning where we did some self defense and sinuwales. after that i drove straight to my sat prep class and i was so bored. after that i went home for lunch and had to drive back to uptown for my volunteering. on my way back it was pouring and dark and it as driving myself so i was so scared but thankfully i got home safely. 

Today was fun. I went to sparring, then I mentored my mentee. Then I helped the junior tigers with their obstacle course. Then as a white belt, I took class, and led the warm-ups. Then I went home, and slept. Then I had a class when I woke up. Then I had friends over so we played.

I’m at myrtle beach right now so i could run BUT i could do burpees pushups and such. (sorry to my downstairs neighbors). but i’ll have to catch up on my running tomorrow when i get back home. 

Today I woke up and got changed and went to my mums house to grab my belt before I went to Lake Norman for class which was so fun! I then left and went to go get some fast food because they make it fast, I then went to my dads house and went to my room, ate, and took a short nap. Once I woke, I went down stairs and played a game for an hour before I headed to my mums house to go to the gym for 2 miles and the other things. Once I got back I practiced for the test and I then went and drove around playing Pokemon GO which was so fun! I then went home and chilled out for a bit until bed. I hope everyone had an amazing day!

Today I ran 5 miles to try and catch up for my requirements. I then also did 2 hours of self defenses today. I also am going to do 2 hours of pomsaes and finish the 7th week today. 

Today I woke up at 9 AM to get ready for sparring class and after sparring class I was able to get a mentor session in then I decided to help with two classes today and after those two classes, I didn’t leadership class and it helped me learn to be a leader. After that I did my weekly exercise and requirements and I’m learning all my pomsae and self-defense.

Only a few more weeks left of the cycle. I'm feeling pretty good overall, just need to practice everything until I can do it in my sleep. I have a lot of homework still but I can get that done. The past few days were pretty good. Today I went to sparring and helped out with a couple of classes. I think I'll just do homework the rest of the day, I have a lot to catch up on. 

    Today I woke up and had a nice breakfast. And then got ready to go to Black boat class and when I got home, I practiced my black belt exercises. I then took a break before packing up to go to junior instructors camp to help out. He’s going to be a long, but I know I’ll do it

Its Friday, it's Friday! School was okay. It was an off day as far as class, but have Saturday class in the morning. Then I finally get to sleep in Sunday! Looking forward to that! My parents have an event for their non profit organization that they ride motorcycles with, so after class in the morning, me and my sister are going to go help with that. But for now, im going to bed. Good night. 

That moment when you realize that you have been doing something wrong for years. Literally years. Ugh. I guess the important thing is fixing it now. Grandmaster Lee said at camp once that he learns something every day about his taekwondo, I'm going to keep that in mind. Last big push these next couple of weeks, it's going to go fast. Good luck everyone! 

Today was a decent day. I headed to 9Round in the morning to knock out a workout, though congestion made breathing a bit tough this week—so it didn't feel like my best session. Afterwards, I went to work, grabbed lunch, and before long, it was time to pick up the kids. Once that was done, Melanie and I took one of the vehicles over to get a door fixed. Shortly after getting back, black belt class started. It was a solid class with a nice change of pace to mix things up. When I got home, I packed a salad to go since Lauren wanted to head over to her parents' house. It's my father-in-law's birthday party weekend, and with a ton of family in town, it’s going to be a long, busy few days. Hope everyone has a great weekend!  

Hello everyone, today was a pretty somber day at my school, we had a 911 memorial with orchestra concerts, and I was able to work the sound of the microphones. Then I got my classes and work done, went home, and chilled. Then we went to TKD and got the rest of the written test finished, when I got home, I was able to play one of my favorite games called Red Dead Redemption II. I haven't played it for a real long time so I was excited. I hope everyone had a great day, and I'll see you later

Today I woke up  and ate breakfast. Then went to school. Then went home to eat lunch. Then Went to TKD. The got tested and it went good.

hiiiii guys, today is officially my 50th journal yay!! im glad i kept track of my journals cuz they're really easy to fall behind on. i'm still gonna journal though because reading everyone's journal has become part of my daily routine and it's my fav part of the day. i got a lot of candy at school today cuz of club fair and i was going around collecting stuff. we had sparring today and that was genuinely the most draining class i think we've had so far, i've never sweat that much. i got hit left and right and disha if you're reading this you knocked my head offffff, ily tho :). i'm gonna wake up with many bruises tmw but oh well. i just finished my physics and calc homework and im gonna watch a movie with my sis and head to sleep. gotta wake up early tmw for bbc,...

11 Today was so beneficial in tkd. This class really helped me find my weaknesses so I can better prepare. I also was able to identify things that I was doing wrong and was practicing it that way. Overall a 7/10 day

Today I learned a lot about American history specifically about the very sad tragedy that happened on September 11 this subject came across many different subjects in class and we talked about stuff like where the memorial is and how it effected the city and the rest of the country. When I got home from school I went to the Harrisburg location to do some sparring. I then got my first dinner at Popeyes. I then watched x men and then went to bed.

Today was a crazy busy day and I am exhausted! I woke up and went to school and in the morning, our school had a really nice remembrance event relating to the 9/11 attacks. The orchestra and chorus performed the national anthem, and I was also able to be a part of the performance because I played the snare drum during the national anthem. After the remembrance ceremony, the rest of the school day proceeded as normal. After school, I tried to get as many requirements as I could knocked out before class. Class was good today, we had some new drills and a written test review. After class, I headed over to my school's football field because there was a home game tonight, and since I lead my school's drumline, I for sure had to be there as soon as class was over. The football game itself was super exciting, the lead kept going back and forth,...

hello everyone. today i had a pretty normal day at school. it was club fair today so i was repping tsa and robotics. after school i went to sparring class where i got absolutely obliterated by mikey (yes i’m name dropping). i then came home and did my homework which i’m still doing

Today was ok I’m just so so tired. And I have a lot to do today and some of tomorrow. Gonna cram some stuff in before bed, but I still need to sleep early cause black belt class. Arg. I’m scared to test but I’m ready to be done lol. Definitely not altogether, but with the cycle.

Today is 9/11. We did a bit of 9/11 stuff in school but I had fun. After that I got picked up early from school to pray. Then I went home very tired. And I took a little nap. Then I was supposed to have a class, but it did not have it because in its place was weekend BBC. In BBC today we did all of our poomsaes and self defenses. Master Foster took us took the other room, and we could not do sparring because we had to finish our poomsaes and self defenses. But Master Foster still gave us credit for sparring class. Now I have lots of things to work on. Mostly self defense is what I need to work on. I often do not have anyone to practice on so I do it in the air. Then I went home, rode my e-scooter for a bit,...

Wow its Friday, it came quick this week! Today was pretty good, school in the morning and then work until BBC. In class we did some poomsaes and fun drills like pistol squats and the other thing that I don't know what to call them lol. We also went over the written test which is only 2 weeks out so make sure you guys are studying!!! Stayed for a mentor session with Master Natasya to work on some self-defenses. My family got pizza for dinner and afterwards I did some homework and requirements. Tomorrow is Jr. Instructors Camp, so excited because its always a blast! I hope everyone has a great weekend! Keep in mind essays are also due in 2 weeks! ~ Peyton

Today I woke up early for my robotics tryouts I think I did good at the tryouts. Then in school I did a lot of things related to 9/11. After I got home I practiced my poomsaes then got ready for blackbelt class and sparring. When we finally finished  with all the belt curriculam I went home. Once I got home I ate dinner then started working on one of the essays and finally wrote this journal.

    Before I talk about my day I would love yo say thank you to all the people who served in the event of 9/11. My day was good, I wake up it's a friday and went to school and went back to King Tiger to take black belt class. I then got my exercises done and enjoyed time with my friend.

I woke up ate breakfast and went to school. School was OK. We had a test and it was pretty good. I went to King Tiger and did a load of requirements. I helped out with a class and then I took blackbelt class. When I got home, I did a bunch more requirements . I know I’m going to sleep well tonight 😴

Today I woke up and went to school, during the morning we listened to where our math teacher was during the Twin Towers attack, and we heard the same in science but our science teachers uncle was on the other side of the Pentangon when it got hit. Later I came home and called my friends and we played a few games but then I had to go to my dads house and chilled out a bit before running 2 miles for the day which was horrible. I then came home and went to my room to draw for a little before calling my friends back and chatting, I just played a game before bed. I hope everyone had an amazing day!

Today in class we went over every single form and self defense. It was really useful because you could see what you needed to work on and got extra tips for them. Super grateful for today. 

I have been slacking off, and I really need to try harder and BELIVE in my self. I feel like the whole reason why I’m so behind is I just gave up trying. And now after today when we went over everything it made me think of what I need to go over what I need to try hard in and where I just genuinely need to lock in. I even completely forgot about the whole planting tree. I just need to get that black my belt. Right now everything isn’t important I just need that black belt around my waist and just be proud of what 4 years of hard works got me. I hope I can try to better and just keep going.

I had to come to Florida for the weekend for a funeral.  However, I was able to get in my requirements this morning before I got busy for the rest of the day.  I used the fitness center on site for everything but the run, which I did in the sand on the beach.  If you've never run on the sand, you'll appreciate running on a hard surface a lot more when you're finished. Running on sand makes your body work harder because every step sinks and steals energy you'd normally not lose when running on the track or a treadmill. Now that I've gotten that out of my system, I'm think I'm going back to running on a hard surface.

Today was a chill day at school today, but today’s black belt class. Master Foster made us go over every single belt Self-defense and pomsae. this made me realize what I need to go over and what I need to work on and I really appreciate what he done to make sure that we were ready

Today was a rough day in school for me, even though it’s a Friday. Though I cheered up when I went to Tae kwon do today and saw my friends. We had a special session for 2 hours that consisted of all pomsaes and self defenses, except for special khoryo. I also got my 10th mentee session, which was on stock and staff form.

today i went to school and i had a test in apush that i did bad on. after school i came home, did requirements and did my homework

hello, im very tired and nauseous. i just finished my calc homework 5 assignments due in one night yay! its currently 11:51 pm and i almost forgot to write this journal. i still have to do my physics and my ap lit work. i gave up on due dates because there's no way i can submit everything on time because my whole evening was taken up by work and my shift ended late.  so im just gonna have to submit whatever and call it a day

Today was our dojungs belt testing day! Its crazy to think how i used to be every single belt that was testing. it kind of killed me not being able to help them improve right then but i know i can another day.

Had a decent day today. We had to turn in our rationale for our science fair project. After school, I did some requirements then went to sparring class. After class, we went to walmart with my parents then came home and I finished requirements. Then I started getting ready for bed.

​Today was a solid day overall. Woke up and kicked things off with a great workout at 9Round. ​Felt a bit less hungry than usual when I got to work, so I saved most of my food for later instead of forcing it down. During lunch, I made some more progress on my kwan essay. Later in the afternoon, I picked up the kids, assisted with classes, and captured a few more videos of the after-school group staying active in Taekwondo to share with parents. ​Before sparring class, I went for a two-mile walk to get outside and clear my head. By the time I returned, my appetite was back, so I finished my leftovers right before stepping onto the mat. Sparring went really well—I was worried my foot would be sore afterward, but it’s feeling completely fine. ​Immediately after sparring, I rushed over to East Lincoln High School to catch...

Today I had two tests at school and did pretty well on them, then after school I went to king tiger to help out people who are testing for their belts and it was nice seeing people get their belts also help them earn it.

Today I woke up then went to school. There was not much that we did today, but I had somewhat fun learning. Then after school, there was a meeting for a math club so I went stayed for that. Then once I left, we came back again to pick up my friend. Then we dropped him and I went home. Then I ate fast and went to Tae Kwon Do to help out with the testing! I feel like the testers now are not doing as much power or technique as before. Then I held some boards to break. Then I got a King Tiger shirt. Then I went home and tested out my new electric scooter, which I rode pretty smooth. Then I went home after a long day.

Hello everyone, today was a nice day, it was just pretty normal. So, first I woke up and went to my church discussion, I had a hard time getting up because I slept through my alarm, then I went to school and hung out with my friends. I had an awesome day at school today because I saw my friends. Then after school, I got what homework I could get done, because for the past couple of days I have had a lot of work that I have needed to do and it has been very overwhelming. Then after that, we went to sparring class and got that checked off for my book, then we went home, ate some dinner, now I must leave, see you all later.

    Today was a interesting day, I woke up and got ready for school. I hopped on the bus and talk to my friend Sebastian on the way to school. I had more issues with a friend of mine and got that solved today. Hopefully things will go better tomorrow. When I got to King Tiger, I focused on getting my homework done which I then got to go and eat some Chinese food. After I ate my food, I went to sparring and had a good time. I got home and finished my black belt exercise before taking a shower. That leaves us here now. I'm in my bed. Good night 😴

Today I had a test that I got 100 on. I did a sparing class and also data class assistance.

I had a super busy day today. School was mostly the same as usual. When I got home, I jumped straight into my requirements, and I managed to complete all of my rolls and falls minutes. I ended up doing an hour of rolls and falls this week in order to complete them because I do not particularly like rolls and falls, so I thought the faster I got them over with, the faster I would not have to deal with them. This evening I went to King Tiger for sparring class which was good. After class I cam home and went on a run which was a bit strenuous because my legs were pretty tired. after my run, I ate dinner, did homework and now I am off to sleep.

Long day today. School was alright, felt like I was there for so long though. This week went by fast, maybe because we had a long weekend. Today I helped out with belt testing. I don't even remember what color belt testing felt like when I did it. Overall everyone did pretty good. I've been driving a lot lately. Hopefully I can get all my hours done soon so I can get a license and not have to ride the bus for 2 billion hours everyday. 

Today I woke up around 7 in the morning and did my requirements. After I went to school and saw that I had 2 test tomorrow which was insane. I needed to make sure to prep a lot. So after school, I chilled for 30 minutes, ate a snack and headed to King Tiger. When I got there I had a Mentor session with Master Chelley. After the session I did punches and kicks, and helped out in class before sparring. After the class I attended sparring which was fun as always. After all of that I signed my book and went home. Once I got home I ate dinner quickly before starting to study for my tests. From around 8:30 to 10:00 I worked on school assignments and prepared for my tests. After that I worked on my written test for testing which we were going to review in class...

I’m so tired. Got a lot to do still before I can sleep. I don’t really know how to fit everything in now. I’m gonna cut this short so I’ll have more time tho.

I woke up this morning and went to school I then realized I had 3 tests back to back except for ELA I then got home and went to get a haircut and then went to sparring the sparring time felt a lot shorter and I liked how went did Korean dances. Once I got home from that I showered ate dinner and did the rest of my homework.

Today I helped assist in senior belt testing at the Do Jang. I also got a hundred on a test today and went to my first soccer practice here in Harrisburg.

This is technically my last journal, but I'll keep on doing it, just less frequently. Today was pretty standard, I enjoyed school today, which is something you have to learn how to do because if you don't enjoy school, you're gonna be miserable all the time. Being able to enjoy school for the learning aspect comes with more maturity, and realizing that it's all for your own benefit that you do well in your classes. Taekwondo was good today too, sparring was pretty crazy, and my legs were starting to hurt real bad, but not bad enough to sit out. We did lots of footwork training, and we did sparring around the world again. I need to wake up early again tomorrow, so goodnight!

Today I woke up a little late then ran and did my other requierments. At school we had a choice program intro and an assembly about school fundraising. once I got home I got ready and went to taekwondo. After that I went to soccer where I score a goal in a scrimage. Then I went home and ate dinner. after I finished my homework then wrote this journal.

Happy Thursday! Woke up for school...got through it. It was fine, only about 2 hours of homework tonight which isn't bad. I came home and got my requirements done before sparring class. Had a mentee session with Stella, just reviewing the color belt stuff. Sparring was pretty fun, did some drills we haven't exactly done before. Came home for a good dinner with the family and finishing up homework now. I honestly can't believe tomorrow is Friday! It comes so quick in a 4 day week! I hope everyone is doing well, keep up the great work! ~ Peyton

Today I went to school and we did a few fun things but our math teacher came late and wasnt there until 2nd block, Later in band we played a part of Hot Cross Buns and took me the whole class to figure it out. After school I came to my mums house and chilled a little while practicing my clarinet before taekwondo, at taekwondo I did sparring for 45 minutes or so, I then came home, practiced on my clarinet a little more before I took a shower. I am now doing all require ments and about to text a few. I hope everyone had an amazing day!

Today I woke up. Then went to school. Then went home and rested. Then after I did my chores for the house. Then right now i might sleep early.

Couldn’t go to bbc because I had two tests coming up sadly but Thursday should be a day where I can go so I’ll make sure I’ll be there.

Worked out this morning and then went for a run on the Greenway. Perfect weather this morning for it. Happy with it, just one big coughing fit midway through. Good classes today, met with my mentee to go over the test. I hope everyone is finding their answers or asking for help. Don't wait until the last minute to.study. Hope tomorrow continues this pretty weather. Have a terrific Thursday!

hi guys, had bbc today. it was pretty fun. I got a mentor session in as well. I have a physics test tomorrow and just finished all my work. i feel like throwing up and this feeling hasn't gone away in a week ugh goodnight!

Today I woke up on time got everything done and went to school. School was normal but I did very well in P.E. After I got home I helped my sister with her studies. Then I went to swimming class after i went to taekwondo and got a leadership, and weekday class credit. Then I went help out and shape clay at my dads friends house. Once that was over i came home did my homework and did this journal.

​Today was a good day. Woke up and went to 9Round—got in a really good workout today. I was pretty hungry afterward, so I grabbed lunch right when I got to work. After lunch, I worked on my essay for a bit before getting the kiddos. ​I helped in classes this afternoon and took videos of our after-school kids to send to their parents so they could see them in action. It went well, and I hope the parents appreciate seeing their progress. ​I took the 5:15 class and focused on more self-defense. After class, I went through the rest of the test with my mentor to make sure my answers were correct for studying going forward. ​Once I got home, I had to grab a quick dinner since I was starving. Watched the NFL kickoff game before heading to bed. Long day tomorrow. Hope everyone has a good day!

I was able to jog a little today with no knee pain. Also did 3 minutes of JR and a ton of kicks, so feeling pretty good about my knee recovery. Time to start planning for next weeks trip to Aruba.  Been doing so many pushups and pullups, my shoulders are getting a little achy. May need to back it off for a few days.

Today I woke up and ate breakfast. Then went to school. Then went to practice after school. Then went to TKD for my cycle. Then went home and ate dinner. 

Today was simple. Went to school not much happened. Im behind on some work. I caught up and tomorrow I have a quiz. I have to prepare. Overall a 7/10 day.  

Today I had a Spam class that I helped with and a test in Spanish, which I got 100 on that’s all I did today

Today was a pretty normal day, but I got a lot of AP Seminar homework, so that was fun. So I worked on that during study hall instead of going to a meeting, which was kinda disappointing because I like going to those meetings. When I got home, I worked on some work and had to get ready for TKD. At TKD, I helped with the shin kickers class, which is definitely my favorite class to help with, and I got to take sparring class. After class, I came home, finished my homework, and went on a 2-mile walk before finishing my requirements. So, as you can see, this is my journal #50, which is really sad because I enjoyed doing this, but I hope everyone has had an amazing cycle so far and does amazing through the rest of it. So, for the last time, I hope everyone had an amazing...

Today I went to schools, nothing fun or new. So after school there was quiz bow try outs so I stayed for that. I did not get many questions right, which was a little frustrating. Then I went home and went to soccer practice, which unfortunately meant that I could not go to Tae Kwon Do class, but it was fine since I already had my 10 weekday BBCs. Then it was my team mates birthday so we celebrated. Then I went home and ran and played with my friends soccer. Then I went home. 

I woke up this morning and got a protein shake then went to school. I then got a test in social studies and got through the rest of my classes. I came home and went to Harrisburg to get a black belt credit then I got home finished my homework and went to sleep.

Hey everyone, today was good, pretty normal, ate breakfast then went to school, then after school I went to work. I got a lot of work done there and made A LOT of progress on my creative form, almost done with it. My shift was good, then I went home and it was 8:00 PM and I still had a little homework, so we ate dinner, I finished my homework, and now I must go. I wish you all farewell, good night.

Woke up and drove to school. Started MAPs testing and did that for about 3 hours. Then the rest of the school day was normal. Came home to homework and requirements. Overall, a pretty good day, definitely hoping to get some good rest tonight. I hope everyone is having a great week! ~ Peyton
