Candidate Journals

Yesterday was a little challenging with the post test. But i did really good on it i beat my time by over 2 minutes for the run. later that day I went to my mosque and played a bunch of games with my friends. 

What a great poomsae class!! It feels so great to be back on my normal routine and I know I’ve said this before but it’s amazing. I’m still very sore from yesterday and testing but I know I’m getting stronger and that’s all that matters. Loving  the final countdown for Black Belt Training Where I can see all of my hard work truly pay off. 

  i did the written and physical test yesterday, I think that i did will on poomsaes but could improve more on self defense.

I had to run a mile this morning, and then I did the physical test and the written test. The physical test felt very rewarding because I improved so much compared to last time. We had a class at North Charlotte and then afterwards we headed to the community service. It was pretty cool how many meals we packed.

Today we did the physical and written test and community service and I ran 3m in 20.47.

Today was pretty good, I woke up to go to class in the morning, class was pretty good as well. After class, I went to the community service activity. My job was to hold the bag under the funnel while the food was being dropped into the bag. I think we had 6912 meals packed which is insane; in such little time we got so many meals packed. After the meal packing, I came home and knocked out the requirements. The rest of the day was pretty relaxed, I played chess for a while and just enjoyed the rest of my day.

Today was a good day I beat my time on the run by 40 seconds everything else was pretty close finished all my essays and got 88 on my test last year I got 83 I also finished all my classes except one leadership 1 also community service was a vibe anyways peace

I got up early to support the candidates for their pretest and to help with the community service. They did well on their physical test and I hope they passed on the written exam too. A lot of them were stressing about it and I saw them doing last minute studying right before taking it. The community service was fun as we all got to hang out while packing the food. The time went by way faster than expected and I really enjoyed the event. Afterwards I drove to Harrisburg to get a mentor session in with Master Knight before heading home. 

Today was a really nice day! First of all, everyone did amazing at the test and at the meal‑packing event — seriously great job. I woke up early to head to the track, and I definitely improved my run time from last time. Once that was done, I went to TKD for our physical and written test. I could tell I improved a lot from the pre‑test. I filled out the written test, but my mind kind of went blank for a second from the lack of sleep, so that was fun… but I still got it finished. After that, we had BBC class, and then we headed to the Lifeline Christian Mission center to pack meals. Huge shoutout to my group/team — Aiden, Porter, Jett, Jackson, and the two members from the other KT branches. We were really fast! We packed a total of 32 boxes total, which felt amazing....

Today was a good day. Today was testing day and I had fun at community service.  I went to the park and played football and basketball with my friend after. 

Today was a good day. I woke up early for the physical test which was good. I was able to improve on everything which goes to show how far ive come this cycle. I then went to volunteer which was pretty fun, ive volunteered through lifeline several times and have always enjoyed it. After that I went to carowinds and ate dinner there.

Today was an okay day. Thursday, Friday and Saturday I was at a states competition. It was called future business leaders of America, and I got selected for the state competition. Do today was the last day of the competition and unfortunately I didn’t make It nationals. I also couldn’t make It to the physical and written test which I was hoping not to miss but thankfully I will be able take it on Monday. Today was a kinda sad day for me because I was tired the whole day, I didn’t make it to nationals, and I missed the written and physical test. Rough day kind of.

Productive day today. I had to wake up extremley early for my mile, which I beat by 3 mins. Physical requirments weren't too bad and I did 100x better on the written exam than I thought I would. The community service was also super fun because I got to goof off a bit with my friends while working for a good cause. All in all, this was a pretty good day.

Today was pretty good i woke up early to start running and went to the North Charallotte school for the rest of the physical test and did the written test after that was done i went to the community service and it wasn't what i expected but it was kind of cool to pack the meals and after all the tests were over i went back home to submit essays, recommendation letters, and do the pull-ups video.

Today was good! Woke up early the run, which went well. Then off to the physical test and written test, which also went well. The community service was really fun! Our table had a really good rhythm. Then when we got home we just relaxed for the rest of the day. Happy pi day! Good job everyone! :)  

Happy pi day guys :) This morning was an early one due to the post test. It went much better than I thought… I beat my mile by 4 minutes as well as everything else. That put me in a good mood for community service. It was a lot of fun packing those boxes, I’ve never done anything like that before. After I got home I just cleaned up a bit and rested because I am tired. That was pretty much my whole day. Great job to everyone, less than 2 weeks left!! 😄

What a great day!!! Started with a fantastic run and beat my original time by 26 whole seconds.  Then it was off to testing and physical testing.  I beat all my pre-test score and did a full pull-up.  I was so happy with my results, and it proves that if you put in the work, you can achieve anything.  Our final stop of the morning was our community service event, we all had so much fun packaging the food for food insecure families.  Our table was singing and dancing the whole time and enjoying the positive vibes from the whole group.  All in all, it was a fantastic day!

I hope everyone has a great run in the morning and does well on the rest of the physical. I know alot of people have been checking their answers over the last week or so at LKN, I'm betting on  them doing well on their written test. Tomorrow will be fun, I'm teaching black belt class in the morning. 😁 And then off to the community service with Instructor Peyton. Planning on the gym and some miles afterwards so a full day. Have a great Saturday!

Today I had a good day.  I didn’t have school and I was able to play the game some.  Tomorrow is testing. 

Today, I spent most of my time studying for my Black Belt exam tomorrow. I went to the Black Belt class at the Lake Norman school. We did some rolls and falls, and we worked on some poomsaes and self defense. After class, I did the pullup portion of my physical exam. I couldn't do an actual pullup, but I was able to hang on for eight seconds which is five seconds more that I did for my pretest. Tomorrow is my physical test and exam so I am a little nervous.

Today was alright at school, pretty busy since it was the end of the week. I went to class after school, class was pretty good, I feel like I have made  some pretty good progress on my 540 kick. I'm looking forward to the community service activity tomorrow. I think just by coincidence, I will be able to complete my 40 total service hours for school from our activity tomorrow. The rest of my evening was pretty good, just relaxed.

today was a chill day. in science class we got new seats. hi :) :) :) :)

Today was a good day I made key lime pie cookies with pasta and garlic bread the cookies get a 8 out of ten sadly while I was putting them in the fridge 4 slipped off onto the floor so rip to them besides that good luck to everyone on the run and written test anyways peace

Today was a good day. I woke up in Raleigh where we ate breakfast. We then went to the museum of life and science. After that we started our drive home where I studied during the ride. Once we arrived home I went to drivers Ed where I did the last day which was on the highway. I then went home and finished all my physical requirements.

Woah, it's Friday the 13th again. That's kind of cool. I've been enjoying seattle so far. I am not really going outside and finding out new things in seattle because of the climate. Currently, it is snowing and it has been raining hard since I arrived here. I still got to try new things though, like going to a costco here, which is the exact same in NC, and trying a indian pizza, which tasted so good. I am still getting my requirements in and think I am progressing well. Tomorrow is also the written and physical test, so I am wishing good luck to all the candidates, but I won't be there. I guess that gives me some extra time to prepare, but I am going to take it on a weekday, which makes it harder for me. 

I can't believe there is only 2 weeks left in cycle.  This process, while grueling, has been amazing, and every day I get stronger and become a better version of myself.  I am so proud of myself and all my fellow blackbelts on cycle for putting in this work.  We can do hard thing and anything is possible 

I got home from grat wolf loge and ate at on the border.

Today, I completed my final essays and I studied my notes for my Black Belt exam. I also, did some push ups, sit ups and jumped rope.

Got to sleep in today a little later before having work at 11. After that I got lunch for myself and head home, having a couple hours before leaving again. At ninja the weather was unexpected as it was starting to cool down. Then I had classes at the dojang.

I had to get my requirements done in the morning, because in the afternoon I had to go to an art museum with a couple of my friends. We had the place to ourselves as we were the only customers there. It was very nice there and when we got back I worked on a. couple things before heading to class. I got a mentor session in and worked a bit on my happkido. Now I’m home and I’m hoping these journals will save.

Today was a good day.  I didn’t have school today so I stayed home with my dad.  We cooked steak, chicken, macaroni and cheese and asparagus.

A rainy day that killed work.  That doesn't help me out with things that need to be done. Oh well what is done is done.

Today at school was no different than the rest. After school, I went to King Tiger for a leadership credit. When I came home I did my requirements. After that I had to study pretty hard because I have a chemistry test tomorrow. After I was feeling confident in the subject, I submitted everything for my Dica Poem. It took me 4 days of going back to the same spot to finally get a picture where the light was right, the clouds were right, and every other component. Overall, good day. 

Olive had a cardiology appointment this morning and it went very well. I also took photos for the DicaPoem submission and plan to finish sending those tomorrow. Classes went well today, and sparring was a lot of fun. Nathan Norris had his pants on backwards, which gave me a good laugh.

Today was a nice Wednesday. School was async, so I finished my work pretty quickly. I had my Math 1 small group, and after that I went with my dad to his checkup. I spent the whole hour reviewing for the written test and looking over my essays. Once we got back, I got ready for taekwondo. For a second I thought I lost my mask, but it was literally in the exact spot I always keep it. Anyways. At TKD, I did warm‑ups and helped in class as we worked on red‑stripe activities and some weapons/single‑stick drills. After that I got ready for sparring, so I practiced my stuff during Junior Tigers. Then I had a mentee session with Lollita — we didn’t get a ton done because of time, but we still managed to cover a few things. In sparring, we worked on basic kicking and sliding combos, and...

Hopefully now this is my last journal for this cycle. I do like enjoy writing these sometimes though. Anyways today I woke up from the hotel, and went down to get breakfast. They had this cool waffle maker and I made a bunch and they turned out great. Afterwards I took a nap because I barely got sleep last night, so that was refreshing. I packed my stuff and we headed to this bear zoo, where I got to saw a lot of, you guessed it bears. They were interactive and entertaining to watch and look at.  After that I went to see a couple mountains and rivers, which were very nice. The ride back home was surprisingly fun and relaxing, for the most part. I got home around 4, and then went to sparring , which there was barely anyone there. That’s it for my last journal 🙂.

Today was a nice day. School went by relatively quickly; we had a Social Studies test, and I got a 100 on it! I have a math test tomorrow though, so I had to study for that. After school, I went out for a jog for my requirements and finished those up. Then I helped my mom with some things around the house. As soon as my dad came back from work, we headed to TKD. I helped out with the Senior Tigers; mostly red‑stripe activities, but we also did a bit of single stick. After that, I had a mentee session with Lolitta. We worked through her white‑belt to yellow‑belt material and reviewed her Chil‑Chang. Then I had a mentor session with Master Weeks. He and Instructor Antoine went over my written test with me since I brought it in to check my answers. Truly grateful for that. When I...

Today was nothing but fun! I did my running and requirements, which was not too hard, since I still have spring break going on right now. I had lots of arguments with my sister and the wind was really blowing today. The wind knocked down three trash cans and the garbage truck ran into one of the fallen trashcans, plus, it was a really bad thunderstorm with lots of rain! I went to a shop to get condensed milk, too. Good luck!

I did requirements, did a run, went to school. After school I went home and went to TKD for a mentor session, then help with a class, afterwards I went to sparring! Finally I went home and relaxed a bit.

Today was a good day. I wasnt able to do much Taekwondo wise since I went to Wilson today. I was able to study for the black belt test on the car ride however. I then went to a museum and a local bakery which were both good.

My last sparring class is today!!! I thought I was done but I was so wrong, one last time to get sparring in

I did my white belt challenge this week, and it was fun! I also had free time in many classes this week because exam week was last week. I've finished a lot of requirements over the course of the week.

The past few days, I was at Las Vegas and my trip over there just finished. I had so much fun and did so much cool stuff that I was so pumped about. Something that really shook me off though was the time zone change because PST is 3 hours before EST, so I had to get things done faster. I just arrived in Seattle and am going to stay here for a few days and explore this city with my family. We are staying at my dad's friend's house, which is cool, and I hope to do some more exciting things. I also want to go back home though because I want to be back to going to TKD normally, so I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything. I still have to finish many things for my black belt cycle and I have less than 3 weeks to...

Woke up early  at 9 because we are at grate wolf loge and we went to the water park and did laser tag and arcade.

Yesterday I spent the day hanging out with my friends eating chipotle and hooping. Today I spent the day mostly by myself just working on things that are needed to be done around the house. Tomorrow I got friends coming over, so I’m looking forward to that.

Had to get up early today for work. Daylight savings time has thrown me off since now its so dark and sunrise is now at about 7:50. I got home around 10 and had plenty of time before leaving at 2:30. Had taekwondo classes and ninja classes to do tonight. After work I watched a movie with my brother and ate two leftover slices of a pizza he made. He got irritated at me at first since I didn't ask him if I could eat the slices. He just had them sitting out, but as trade I gave him a bag of dried pineapples I bought from the store today. 

Today was a really busy day. So I first went to school and did my work, and then after I got home it got really busy. I first went to swimming, and then after that I went to the North Charlotte location to do sparring. After that I stayed for black belt class, and then after I got home, I had to prepare for my states competition tomorrow, and write an essay. It was a productive day.

Very energetic, very new white belts. My energy was put to the test today😄 Lots of brown stripes were also earned today and quite a few students also learned that it does get more important to have good technique. And we had 3 make-up testers that rocked out their testings. All in all a good day at KT LKN!

this cycle is going to be alot of work my legs are sore again and it's only been a month. now imagine the final run the 100 miles and all those other requirements

Today was ok, nothing really happened. Before school I did the requirements and had a good breakfast. We had testing at school, which was really boring. After school we went to TKD, which was good. When we got home I had a lot of homework to do. I also had to study for some tests. Now I am getting ready bed. :)

Today felt pretty long because at school we had yet another day of Benchmark testing. I haven’t gone a day so far this week without some kind of test. Anyway, testing was fine but left me feeling tired the rest of the day. After school was straight to KT. I got to help out and get some weapons practice in. Then I did homework and requirements. The weather has been so nice lately but unfortunately it will get really nasty tomorrow... for the last day of testing 😅 I am trying to prepare myself for the post test this weekend too. Keep going everyone, we’re almost there!!

My day was okey i didnt do much in school i came home and rested then i went to Taekwando for sparring and and black belt class.

Olive had a neurology appointment this morning and it went really well. All of her milestones seem to be being met, which is really reassuring. We had board breaking during classes today and it went very well. I had a bit of a cold yesterday, but I’m feeling much better today.

Today was a good day. I woke up and went to the gym where I ran 2 miles. I then went and got a haircut and then went to go driver with drivers Ed. After I went to Taekwondo where I was able to mentor someone before sparring class, attend sparring class, and attend black belt class.

Today I woke up earlier as me and my family are going to drive to Western Carolina university to tour it where my sister might go there for college. The car ride didn’t feel that long but it was like 2-3 hours. It was fun but It was sometimes uncomfortable in the car where my legs felt tight. The tour was pretty nice but it was long and took like 2 hours. Currently I’m sitting in a hotel right now, pretty nice and a comfortable bed.

Today I had a good day.  I had a science test and I got a 94 out of a hundred, and my teacher said that’s one of the best grades in the 5th grade.  I also did classes at King Tiger.  I’m now resting watching NFL trades but overall today was a good day. 

Today was normal it was really hot outside so i went outside for a little bit with my brother and i went to taekwondo

Today, school was more of the same, nothing to eventful. I'm feeling quite better when compared to yesterday. When I got home I started with my requirements. Its kind of interesting that I find it easier to do the requirements on a weekday rather than a weekend. I assume its because I developed a constant routine and I have not really differed from that routine since the beginning of the cycle. I planned to run today; I did; sorta. I only managed to squeeze out 2 miles even though I planned to run 4. when I was only in the first half mile, I got 2 side stiches on either side of my torso. That was a struggle, also when I was approaching the end of the second mile, I started to feel queasy. I took a five minute break so my stomach could settle, then I tried to start running again. It...

I have been putting the effort for the written test after Monday's incident when I got the correct answers to study them! Other than that, I am doing pretty good on my daily requirements and self defense is much, much better now. Poomsaes, also great! I still remember them and still doing them! Have a nice day!

Oh, the soreness!  Being back to full steam is better than I could imagine but it is amazing how you can lose certain aspects of strength when you deviate from a routine.  I am happier more than words can describe with my sore body and look forward to beating my pretest goals on Saturday

My day was good i had school i was very tierd. But later i had went to taekwando to help out then i went to daves hot chicken to get food. Then I went to my new mosque wich had a grand opening to its new 9 million dollar new building it was very cool seeing the new building and helping out in it.

Since the other employee who works at the ninja gym is gone I had to work longer there today. It felt weird since I go straight to the dojang to teach my class and I arrived later than usual. Master Knight went ahead and got the class started then had me teach the rest. The class was only half full since many of our students are on spring break and on trips. After that was adult class then we were done for the night. 

Beautiful day!  Marina is back!!  My Dica entry has been emailed.  Workout was a good one this morning. Another week moving along with no soda and sweets.  And the end of the cycle is in sight!

What a beautiful day it was.  I'd say I hope this winter stuff is over but I'm also not looking forward to a hot summer.

Today was a good day.  It was hot outside and I went outside to ride my dirtbike and do my requirements.  I studied and did my homework.

Today was a normal Tuesday. School went by pretty fast, and after that I knocked out my requirements and studied for the written test this Saturday. I vacuumed the place and helped make dinner, then my parents and I went outside for a walk. When we got back home, I finished up my essays and now I’ll probably head to bed. I also spent a good amount of time practicing; I went through all my poomsaes, self‑defenses, kicks, and both my stick and staff forms. Honestly, most of my afternoon was just training and reviewing everything for the test. A pretty steady day overall. Hope everyone’s doing well, and good luck with the rest of the cycle. ⟭⟬ Lalitha Sree Damarla⁷

Not much to talk about today. We just got home from a long ride from Orlando Fl. We went to get something to eat and everyone is exhausted and ready to got to bed.   

Today was pretty good. Nothing really happened at school. Tomorrow we have MVPA testing, which is so boring. After school we came home and I worked on some homework and played outside for a little bit. Then we went on a run and the weather was so nice. Then we ate some dinner and played outside some more. I did the requirements and now I am relaxing and getting ready for bed. :)

Today was a good day. I woke up and studied for the black belt class. I then went out with my grandma for lunch and went around the mall. After I went to taekwondo and assisted the 6:15-7:00 where I was also able to lead warmups. I then took the 7:05-7:50 teen class.

Today I woke up and did not feel that great. I want to say its just allergies and nothing more, however I do not know if that's the case. School was juts the average school day. When I came home, I took my time going through my requirements. Hopefully I am feeling better tomorrow so I can run. I got assigned a project in my engineering class to make bridge out of basal wood. Everyone makes a bridge (only 8 inches by 2 inches) and the person with the best weight to force carried ratio wins. This will be a fun project that I am looking forward to. Hopefully the odds will ever be in my favor.

Today was a mid day. I woke up, went to school and then after that I went and reviewed my written test with my instructors. No I have to study like crazy for the final written test. That’s technically all except when I came back home from taekwondo I needed to do a bunch of work including preparing for my states competition, memorize the digits of pi, do my science homework and also write two essays and work a lot on staff form 2. 

Finally back in class. Best part of the day was seeing baby Olive second best was seeing all of my tae kwon do friends again. 

Hey guys! I decided to start reposting for my black belt test coming up March 27th, 2026. I am a little tired, so I did some practice and that was it. Good luck on the written test, March 14th, 2026 everyone!

For some reason, my journal yesterday didn’t save, but it’s no big deal. I started the white belt challenge today, and it was much better than I thought it would be. I also got a mentee session in which was convenient 

Almost done with these journals. Woke up today and was very appreciative that it is spring break week and I don’t have school for the next week. Today I went outside and ran, worked on a couple things at my house, and went to taekwondo where I had a mentor session, and also I finished my mentee sessions last week which is good. 

Didn't have anything going on today besides classes in the evening. Did some of my requirements outside in the backyard since its not raining anymore and the ground is dried up. I like practicing outside instead of inside. We had smaller classes since its spring break for a lot of our students and their out of town. Also, focusing a lot on helping the candidates as their testing is coming up and I want each of them to do well. 

Since last week was the end of the third quarter at school, my school gave us a long weekend. And because I did not have school today, I went to the FeedNC food bank in Mooresville. I helped out in the warehouse for a couple hours sorting foods and categorizing them by dates. When I got home, I mowed the lawn; it is becoming that season where mowing the grass will become a weekly chore. Unfortunately that also means that it will soon become the time of year where allergies will start acting up. Later in the day, I knocked out all of my requirements. Hopefully my teachers will take it easy tomorrow to kick off the fourth quarter.

Not much to say today hopefully everyone is doing well.

My day was good I had school there wasnt much work becuase its the end of the quarter but when i got home i studying some taekwando then i went there to help out a class then after i got food from chipolte. 

I had a good workout this morning and did lots of situps, which felt great. We finally got some rain today, and I was actually pretty thankful for it because it washed away most of the formula I spilled in the driveway. I’m also getting more comfortable with Chonkwon, which feels like steady progress. Classes went really well today, though the sizes have been unusual. It seems like people’s schedules are shifting, so class times might be changing for a lot of them.

Today was a good day. It was hot today and we spent most of the day relaxing at the resort and we went swimming after we ate. We shorten our vacation because I need to get back and finish preparing for my Black Belt exam and fitness test. Tomorrow we will be traveling back to Charlotte and I will be back in class on Wednesday.

Today was a good day. It was nice having monday off since our school has begun spring break. I feel like im able to focus and study more which is nice since the written test is this week. I studied and worked on forms for a while. After I went to concord and went to the cat café and walked around. I then went to the teen class from 6:40-:7:25 where I was able to get a mentee session in beforehand.

today was a chill day. I played my VR with my friends.  today was a good day. I had drama for my elective and we presented to the class

Today was a pretty tiring Monday, mostly because of the time change. School went by quickly, especially since Social Studies was async. After that, I spent most of my time finishing my requirements, practicing, and cleaning out the closet for a bit. Then I got ready for TKD. Since it was PMAA belt testing today, we had that — and honestly, we did really well. Good job, guys! After that, I started my white‑belt challenge. I helped out in the Senior Tiger class, which was mostly red‑stripe activities and a few single‑stick strikes. Then I had a mentee session with Amelia. We worked on her lower‑belt forms and moved on to her regular forms, and I started teaching her hop‑step kicks. I also had a mentor session with Master Weeks after PMAA, where we worked on my Hapkido forms. When I got home, I changed quickly so my parents and I...

Today is Monday I had schoolWe honored A staff memberAfter he passed away on FridayAnd we came homeI did a workoutGreat workbookTook a showerDenmore workbook finished in essayAnd did I already.

The past 3 days, I have been in LAS VEGAS for Spring Break. It has been a blast and I am having so much fun exploring this cool place. I am not leaving until the 11th, but I am not going straight home. I will be going to a family friend's home also, which is out of NC. The hotel I am staying at right now is kind of crazy. It is all Paris, France themed, so it looks really good. The past 3 days, I ate some really good and new food like Raising Cane's, saw awesome stuff like cool casinos, (not for long!), and large building and colorful stuff. Today, I ate at a really good indian restaurant, went to the pool, explored more of the strip of Las Vegas, and later today, I am going to ride what I think is the tallest ferris wheel in the US,...

After a long hard day yesterday, I am back in North Carolina and I’m so happy to be back. Looking forward to working out tonight and seeing all my taekwondo friends tomorrow.

I am Done with my sae project I made a better pull up bar it took 10 hours.

Today I spent the day at the Kennedy Space Center with my grandparents. I explored the history of space travel and had the opportunity to different rockets it took to make space travel possible. After that we went to the outlet mall, and my grandparents brought me some shorts for school.    

Today was a normal Sunday… uhh with the time change/daylight saving time, the whole day felt like it went by super fast. I woke up and went out for a run/walk, then came back home and knocked out my requirements. After a few hours of working, studying, and reviewing stuff, my parents and I went grocery shopping. When we got back, I spent most of the time helping unload everything and get things put away, and then helped make dinner.   After that I practiced for a bit, and I also ended up downloading Atomic Habits in an mp3 format and saving it to my mp3 player so I can listen to it whenever I want instead of in one long sitting. Overall, it was a nice weekend. Feeling ready for the week and for the upcoming PMAA belt testing. Good luck to anyone taking that test!   Hope everyone’s doing well, and...

Nice day today. After I finished my SAT tutoring classes, it was still incredibly bright outside. It was nice to look at after every other day was super dark.

Today was tiring. I had a project for science so I did my requirements early and worked on it basically the whole day. It’s on the human body. After I finished I had dinner and I’m about to sleep.

The time change is irritating. I liked it when the sun started coming up earlier and now it's back to darkness in the morning. It slows me down at work but that is okay, it's not really that bad.

Welp I’m back again. I guess it didn’t save 4 journals so I have to do more. A lot happened since the last journal, such as instructors camp, bunch of classes, school, and the test is coming up. This week is spring break though thankfully. Today I been outside a lot as it isn’t to hot or cold. I also went to the gym and played basketball and ran. I gotta get a haircut though soon for summer , so that’s going to happen.

 Today was a chill day.  I played with my friends and studied for the test.  I made cookies and did my requirements. 

Poomsae class was very small today, probably because of the time change. Even so, I got a lot of productive work in and felt more comfortable with Chonkwon, which felt like real progress. Later we went to the Hartles so Olive could spend some time with Grammie. Olive is getting so close to laughing, and it’s really exciting watching her get closer to those next milestones. I’m really looking forward to what comes next for her.

Today was a good day. I woke up today and made a egg in a basket which was good. After I did all my physical requirements relatively early into the day as well as running 1 mile. I then went to the movies and saw hoppers which was decent. After I studied Taekwondo for a while.

Today was an ok day. I woke up and watched cricket on TV this morning and that technically took up the whole morning. My team win though so I was happy. The rest of the day was about filling in the requirements I need to do because I was sick last week. So I had to catchup today, while doing a lot of science homework. 

I'm going to Korea with King Tiger this October and I'm so excited. I asked Master Natasya to help me learn some basic Korean so that I was completely unprepared in a new country. So the last 5-10 minutes on Mondays, Fridays, and Sundays she has been teaching me. I know how to pronounce, write, and read the vowels, y sounds, w sounds, and 6 consonants so far!! She said next time we will start putting letters together and make words! I love learning new languages, I think it is super fun and I feel really proud of what I have learned so far. Thank you Master Natasya! Overall a good day, poomsae class was very small (just 3 of us), came home and alternated between homework and requirements. I hope everyone had a great weekend! ~ Peyton
