Candidate Journals

So today I. Got up and went to school.  I got lots of homework.  Oh I got home I went straight to king tiger and took class.  I got my stuff done there  on the way home we got some food for dinner.  

Hi King Tiger Family. I hope you are well. Good night at class tonight and sparring. Got to work on some requirements and worked on Double Stick forms 1 and 2 with Master Marcus. I enjoyed my evening and I need to finish a few items. Then off to bed. Take care. 

In sparring I got hit wrong the day before the final physical test I am worried. almost there

Today when I woke up I went to school for, which was really good, we got dress up for spirit day. Then after a while we have a pep rally, where all the athletes go to our gym and line up, and they get recognized by sport so they, and everyone's cheering and having fun. After we play a game and that's it. In Spanish we were let known that we have no school tomorrow due to heavy rains, because the entrance to the school would be flooded. Then after I went home did some requirements and that was it. 

I ran at the gym today because of the rain. Got me requirements done in spurts between work. I had a mentoring session and went to the 6:00 class while Dylan assisted for that class. Then we came home and studied for the test.

Today was a normal day until I went upstairs to do an hour of self defense and decided I should practice my shoulder rolls, but this time I went sideways and hit my head against the window sill

Today I woke up and got ready for school after school I whent to TKD and did sparring and I also got a menty sesion thats all for my day peace✌🏼

I'm frying through the written test, its going very well, in fact, i have most of the questions memorized!

Today I woke up and came to school. I am currently at school doing this journal right now so not much has happened. This is my last journal entry and this cycle has been good and wonky I learned a lot and want to learn more as a first dan. Okay I'm done now

Today was another interesting day at school because the library teacher knows about a meme I didn't know adults knew about. also a girl has a crush on me. After school, I went to help with testing for the little tigers and then went to youth group where we talked about dueteronomy and I got hit in the nose in dodgeball. But thats all. goodbye.

today i had a half day, and i went to my friends house after school. we played basketball, and plaed ps4 games. then i got home and went to bbc. now im goin to bed.

Got home late today so I decided to take a nap before going to class. Currently working on midterm prep for HIST 1160, hopefully with finish it by tomorrow,

Training day! Warmed up the class and went through some basic blocks, strikes, and stances. Master Burkart drilled us in staff form reviews and shared many testing tips.

Ran 2 quick miles for warmup and started my requirements prior to going to the Dojang to finish up. Worked with Mj on self defense and some basic stance and block movements.

Decided to visit the Dojang everyday for reviews on the coming tests. Written and physical are due on Saturday and so I worked on putting finishing touches on these. Master Wicks and Master Cavasos helped with some peer reviews for my written preps.

  I was not able to make the Sunday morning workout at the mint hill park today due to overworking myself yesterday, spending the entire day at the Dojang. Still I managed to get some stretch in and completed some forms later in the day.

Today I woke up and had a half day at school. After school I finished my last essay for cycle and then got some school work done. I finished my homework then went to practice. I had a good practice, ran by myself which was very peaceful. I then came home, went to church, and now I am here. 

Training day! Went in early for the morning class and joined Master Guru Melegrito’s Filipino Martial Arts class till 12pm. We took a lunch break and came back at 2pm for the instructors seminar which lasted till 6pm. I was worn out by the end of this day!

🇸🇮So this morning I got up and went to feast and we were actually working with jigsaws and we cut out parts of this owl sign that was for the littler kids that for if they get lost in the woods signs will point them back to the building so we also got pretty far with the tempest we are now in act 2. And then later I came home and Trump is actually in town so so part of 485 🛣️was blocked off🚧🚧🚧🚧 so it was a little bit longer of the drive to get home but afterwards I went to fraternus and we had pizza for dinner as usual and that's about it bye 🇸🇮

Almost forgot to write tonite, but got a lot of practice in today, a class assistance and a mentee session.  Almost finished my book. That's all for now.

So today was an early release day which was cool but the back to school picnic got rescheduled due to rain so that’s kinda sad.

Today I woke up to go to school, today was cool because I got to dress up for something we call spirit day. It's where we all dress up as a certain thing and we have like a little competition to see who dressed up the coolest. Other than that we had a great day. After I went to the hospital to visit my grandma, and to see how she was doing, then I went home worked on some requirements and homework, and even some essays, so that was my day.

Tonight I did not have class. We took advantage and went out to dinner. We went to place we have not been in a while. I used the time to study and finish some of my requirements I did not get to finished this morning. I have completed my miles but and still running to improve me pace. It rained tonight so I did not run. It was nice to let my legs and feet rest.  Back at it tomorrow.

I'm working on typing up all of the self defenses which is really helpful!! We had a good day today at co-op. 

So today I woke up and went to school and it was a half day so I got home early.  Since I got home early I went to king tiger earlier  and got all my stuff done earlier.  It is an earlier kinda day.  I might go to bed earlier or not.  

I hope everyone had a wonderful Wednesday and is excited for a thoughtful Thursday!!! Today I got up and finished my math test during class. I also got halfway done with creating a workout plan and PE. When I got off the bus, I went home and did my homework afterwards. I got ready for taekwondo and took the 6 o’clock class. When I got home I ate dinner and got ready for bed. I hope it was a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful wonderful for all good night!!! P.S. Today is national Daughters day!!! ~Magnolia~

Good evening everyone hope your day is going well. Yesterday I finally finished my written test questions BEFORE you say anything I have a very good reputation for memorizing these types of things. After school every Wednesday I had to memorize a few bible verses for… 8 years, since I was a little kid in pre-k. So I'll be studying, cya!

Today I woke up and went to school.   Everything was normal except today was a half day.   We didn’t have lunch today because we got out early.   Then since it was early release day we didn’t have baseball.  So I came home and play a couple of video games before work.   I went to king tiger for work.  Everthing was a pretty normal day.  

Today I woke up and got ready for school after school I went to taekwondo I toke a class and got a mentor session with master Chelley thats all for my day peace.✌🏼

Today I started to continue studying more of my cycle test sheet. After that, I headed for class assistance and get a refresher of knife specials and understand more of hapkido 5. When I came home I made sure to exercise myself for Saturday preparation. I am also almost finished with all my essays now that I only have a few more left to tidy up.

In band we did a Beethoven song and I was pretty good I forgot what it was called but yeah so goodnight    

Starting to learn a new piano piece independently today and nothing much else of note occurred today.

Today I didn't do much, but tomorrow I have a early release day and then I'll go and train for my basketball tryouts soon. Then ill do my workout for tkd and then I'll do my homework.  

Today, I woke up, went to robotics, did school, and came home. After I got back from school, I realized that there was a belt testing for today and tomorrow, so I am going to a different dojang for a mentor session tomorrow. I then completed my last essay about the book Atomic Habits. Also, this is my second to last journal entry for the black belt cycle. We are so close to being finished. Have a good night.

Today I had a pretty long, but good day. School was pretty good, I got a decent amount done and was fairly productive. I then came home, chilled, took a nap, and then went to run club. I had a pretty good workout and got to talk to my coach about Tae Kwon Do and he told me how excited he was for me. I then came home, ate, showered, and now I am here. 

Tuesday- Journal number 50! I’ve actually done quite a few more but I didn’t realize if I did one in the morning for the day before and one that night it only counts as one! Today was good, got up and did 2 miles but I struggled, I think the foggy air really affected me, hopefully Saturday is nicer. Ready for this weekend!

Hi King Tiger Family. Next to last week of cycle. Still have some things to work on, but feeling better. Got Double stick pretty good, now refining it. My creative is pretty memorized, but now to refine and clean it up. Looking forward to next Friday. Keep up the great work and have a great night. 

Today we had hand ball at PE.  I was doing pretty good and was the goalie a few times and made some saves.  After that I went to lunch.  I had a hamburger.  Then I got picked up at carline. I went to Taekwondo and had a session with Instructor Logan.  Now I'm getting ready for bed.  Have a great day everyone!

🇸🇮So this morning I got up and I wasn't really feeling 100%. So I got breakfast and then I laid down in bed for a little while and then I went to my mom's room and laid down there and then after a little while I was feeling a little bit better. So I went downstairs and made myself some toast and then that made me feel a little bit better and then for the rest of the day I helped out in the class I did A mentee session with Ethan, who's one of my various mentees And we had sloppy joes for dinner and we got muffin mix But that's about it bye🇸🇮

today I woke up got ready for school at school. I had a test and I only missed one question after school. I went to taekwondo. I got a mentee session in and I took two classes when we got home we ate pizza. That was my day. Peace.✌🏼

Today my teacher told me she was gonna be absent  Wednesday through Friday so she gave us a quiz on Friday to do whith are substitute. I got my last mentee session done. I took two classes today. I got home and made pizza for dinner. that was my day. See you later.🥋

Made it through the day, so that felt like an accomplishment. Hightlights were going to class, and helping out, getting in a mentee and mentor session. Running was difficult today because I was having trouble breathing, but I think that's due to stress.

Today was just like yesterday, I got picked up from school, went to tkd, did a mentor and mentee session and ate dinner.

Hope everyone had a terrific Tuesday and is excited for a wonderful Wednesday. Today I went to school and went over time for my math test meaning I was late for PE. When I got off the bus, we went to get our allergy shots and afterwards I did my homework. Then I ate dinner and went to Scouts. When I got home from Scouts, I finished the rest of my homework and got ready for bed. Hope it was a terrific Tuesday and goodnight. P.S. Today is National Punctuation Day ~Magnolia~

My journals are done, bit I'd thought I would just chat for a minute. I was able to meet with my mentee for the first time in 2weeks.....she did really well with her poomsae and yellow self-defense.  Unfortunately she will not be ready forvthis testing due to not practicing high yellow kick defense.  This was my fault...I didn't realize she was a high yellow.  Maybe I can get her ready gor make ups ?!?!

Today I’m excited to go to taekwondo as I’m getting very close to 100% ready for the final test. I have half an essay left!

Today I had math olympiad then came home and touched up on some essays then did my requirements.

Worked on sinuwales yesterday and I think that's what I'm likely to struggle with most in testing... I can do it but just not very well... Feeling so stressed about how close we are getting! 

Today I (Kind of) Helped out with the 8-12 yr old class today. I mean "Kind of" because I started my 1 week white belt trial today. Since I was a white belt, I worked on some basic work in the back with Master Weaks and Instructor Garret. After the was the advanced class, unfortunately I had to actually do my curriculum. We worked on Bocho self defense and Koreo to prepare for testing, and we finished up class with Specials, which was nice to review. After classes I finished up my requirements and some other school work before bed.

Start of a new school week. I got my math test results back today and got a 92. Hopped right back into lectures and curriculum for all my classes, but I might be free from homework this week thanks to upcoming midterms.

Today was a pretty good day, I went to school and had two quizzes. I then came home and did some homework before going to practice. Practice was really good, we ran with almost the entire boys team. I then went to the weight room. I followed that by going to TKD. I came home afterwards, ate, showered, and now I am here. 

Monday- got up early and got the 2 miles and requirements in, the. We had a morning mentor session with master Marcus. We went over our breaks and what we are going to do, It was a good informative session,  Regular work the rest of the day, nothing crazy, can’t believe physical testing is this weekend!

I went to school then did some guitar then helped with class. I ate chipotle for dinner then I watched some football 🏈 good night 😴🌙.

Today, I woke up to go to school, it was a good day we learned a lot for the most part other than the classes just being hard in general. PE was my favorite class though because we have ultimate Frisbee, and I love ultimate Frisbee. After school my brother picked me up, because my mom couldn't pick me up today so I went home, and stayed there by myself for a while. Then later I went to class where Master Evins was teaching, it was a awesome class and we had a lot of fun. After we got food and I had a delicious corn muffin. 

At saturday black belt class, we all did stretches, a basic rundown of our blocks like inside block and outside and 2nd Dan defense breakdown and kicks. I was able to know all of it, and help my partner with a little bit of the move sets. After that was over I drove for my first knife seminar at Master Evans. It was completely different experience for me in regards with defense which was nice. When I got home I did more requirements and rested for the day.

we are so close to the end of the cycle guys push through just a little bit more. OH AND CAN YOU FIND THE HIDDEN ZERO (hint its in the title) :-)  :)

Today I woke up and had pancakes. I went to school and played relay race tic-tac-to. I went to after school and took class, then I went to stix 4 kids. I had a quick session with master Opey and my mentee. Second to last journal and physical testing and the written test is Saturday. Almost done with all essays. Okay I'm done now.

Good evening everyone! today I had a pretty good day. I got caught up on a bunch of stuff. including the written test. I'm so close to being 100% done!

Started the day with free $ for my 3:15am shift. That's always a good start. Came home and slept another 2 hours, then read my Atomic Habits book for awhile. Work started with a meeting from 8-12:30. It will be the same the next two days. I met Dylan at the bus stop so we could make it to the 5:15 class, then have mentoring sessions with out mentees at 5:45. Dylan had a clarinet lesson at 6:15, so he didn't even get to start his homework until 7:30. Busy day, and the rest of the week will be basically the same. 

Today I went to my clarinet class and learned how to hold a note and articulate. I also have a back to school picnic coming up on Friday so that’ll be fun.

Today I woke up and went to school.  Did the usual it was a boring day.  Then went to base ball.  They made us work so much and ran a lot today.  I forgot to take my water to the field.  My tongue was super dry. I had to drink from the water hose.  My lips went numb from the pressure.  Then I went to work did the usual. And that is it.  

So today I woke up and didn’t have my lunch box.   I bought lunch today at school.   I looked for my lunchbox but I brought home the wrong one.  After school I went to class. I am going to keep it short today.  

Review the study guide and finalize my essays. so close to the end of the cycle. One more day of work this week and I can really focus on the rest of the cycle.

Less than a week until the physical and written test.... Planning on spending a lot of time studying for the written test this week.

Today I slept in since I have not been feeling good.   I felt better when I woke up today.    I also got to drive a little today and drive dad truck.  We had to go put the cover on the boat. After we did that we went to the store to get some things for dinner.  We had nachos.  

So today I slept for a while before I got up so I felt good.  I really didn’t do much today and just stayed around the house.  We had a nacho bar for dinner.  I just ate meat and cheese on mine.  I don’t have much to say today so I am going to go to bed. 

People came over today for a party. From 5-10pm non-stop karaoke and eating. Going to head to bed after preparing for what is to come tomorrow.

Today, I worked on mainly essays instead of physical requirements. I finished my new skill essay about learning how to cook, I finished my second living hero profile essay about Martin Luther King Jr., and I finished my nutrition challenge essay. After that, I worked on my study guide. Now, I only have to write my atomic habits essay, which I have not finished reading yet. Have a good night.

Today I went to my school to practice my basketball skills. My plan is to join and make the basketball team to show my 1 year of progress playing ball. Then I went and did my requirements and now I'm going to sleep  

So today I woke up and went to church which was good and then I went home where  I chilled for a bit and then I did some requirements and went to youth group where we did some sort of survey thingy. after that we played a game called Mafia which was fun and I got some clothes pinsnd put them in my hair as a joke. then I went home to have Chinese food which was very good. Now I am studying for the written test. goodbye

Sunday- got up today and did 2 miles, I was a little out of sorts, got a late start and no one joined me. I forgot to take my glasses off and to grab my earbuds for music. With glasses sliding off my face and no music the run seemed to last a lot longer. I won’t do that again! I spent the day running some errands, and then after lunch finished drywalling up the bathroom, now for muddying and sanding, my least favorite part.  looking forward to the testing next weekend, I’m a mixture of relieved and stressed that it’s so close!

Today I woke up and got ready for church. Today I volunteered and was teaching the 4th and 5th graders; I feel it went pretty well (as well as it can go with 4th and 5th graders). I then came home and ate before doing several hours worth of requirements. After I finished that I did a bunch of homework. I followed that up by taking a bath and now I am here. 

🇸🇮So this morning I got up and got to the DJ box in cut the rope➰ and then we went to Mass and then later Oliver wasn't feeling 100%🤒🤧 but then when are we watched the football game🏈🏈 Panthers won 36-22 versus the raiders the first three quarters we completely destroyed them📣🤩😄ᕙ⁠(͡⁠°⁠‿⁠ ͡⁠°⁠)⁠ᕗ👍 and we had chicken patties for dinner and that's about it bye 🇸🇮

This weekend was jam packed...but fun. I'm finding out that I have a lot of 'zeros' showing up on my chart. However, I'm going to continue most of them.  Saturday began normal with my blackbelt class and Junior Tigers, but then I got to meet Master Melegrito during his seminar.  That was a quick 2 hour class full of information!  My nap afterwards was well deserved and sooooo satisfying.  Then today I join the blackbelts at the park and worked on some things I needed help with. I need a lot of help. I'm learning an entire curriculum in a year. No easy task.  Ok, to much chocolate icecream. Sugar overload. Night all. 

I hope everyone had a special Sunday and is excited for magnificent Monday!!! Over the weekend, I went tubing down Rapids with my scouting group. We also did an iron Chef competition throughout the camp out. When I got home, I did all my homework that was due today and then got ready for cotillion. When I got home from Cotillion I ate dinner and got ready for bed. I hope it was a special Sunday for all good night!!! P.S. Today is National States and Capitals Day! ~Magnolia~

During Fridays class, we did our practicing of different self-defenses and hapkido's. It was to help us for prepare for either Saturdays class or the cycle test. We all did red belt, high red and every hapkido. When I came home I did more requirements and sleep for tomorrow's class and knife seminar.

Good evening everyone, hope you had a great day. Today I played with my dog and she got tired so we went inside did some requirements went to the store and yeah

Today is a good day. currently the Ravens are winning. We went to the brick house to watch some of the game, and are planning on going down to Charlotte in a few to see Bruce Hornsby. I'm almost finished reading my Atomic Habits book, and that's the last essay I need to write. Requirements are getting easier. Dylan and I have been practicing a lot, especially self defense and rolls and falls.

Today I finished my grit workbook and started working on the essay for it, I got about half done and went to go see football, later I’m going to go see Bruce Hornsby play live at knight theater.

Today I did 1 1/2 hours of poomsae class, then I did 1 1/2 hours of lacrosse.  Then I came home and have been working on my kwan essay.  Now I'm playing with legos.  I will have dinner and then go to bed.  Have a great day!

Today was pretty chill I really only had to do my requirements and clean my room.

Good morning, everyone! Yesterday was a good day. For the most part, yesterday was a slow, relaxing day. My family and I went to temple and during the car ride I could feel my ankle bulging with pain, and it was not a good feeling. After temple, we came back home, and I took some rest. Today, I woke up early but decided to stay in bed for a little. My ankle is doing a lot better now, and I will finish my requirements in a little. I am planning on finishing up one of my essays and relaxing. Have a wonderful day!

Spent the day in my leisure after spending the morning working out and practicing selfdefense. Plan on taking tomorrow easy cause I might not be home the whole day.

During the weekdays (Wednesday - Friday), I have been doing the same routine: wake up for robotics, do school, come home, do a mentor/mentee session, do homework, and work on essays and the study guide. Today, I have worked on finishing physical requirements that I did not have time to finish during the weekdays. I will also try to finish all of my essays this weekend and during the weekdays, as they are due next weekend. Have a good night.

So excited for the tiger claw coming up, the demo performance is looking so good! Worked on my pre-history paper in the trip there. My notes look like chicken scratch, but I definitely have enough material. 

King Tiger Family, I hope everyone is doing well. It was a good. Did a bunch of requirements. Double stick 2 and my creative are coming along. Still got some essays to finish this weekend. Looking forward to tomorrow. Have a great night. Take care. 

Today I woke up in the hotel I stayed in last night since I has a race this morning. I had a really good race; I took first place and had a big PR. The race was very difficult since I had to front run the whole race, but I enjoyed the finishing. I then went out to eat and came home. Once I got home I did several hours of requirements. I then chilled for the rest of the day and now I am here. 

Saturday- Today was a long day, got up early for 2 miles before black belt class. Black belt class was good, I enjoy working on some of the basic stuff like preps that maybe I should have learned a little better as a lower belt. After class Abigail and I stopped by Home Depot and picked up drywall and cement board for the bathroom. Got a lot of drywall up but got distracted by football. Another day tomorrow!

Today I woke up and I went to class.  When that was over I had to wait for Callen to help with the next class.   I decided to help as well.  Then when we were done I drove to breakfast at chicfila.  For some reason Callen wanted Burger King so I had to drive there too.  Then I came home and watched the dog all day.  

Today I woke up and went black belt class.  Super early as usual.  And then I stayed and helped with the next class.   Later in the day I went to the pool with my friends.   After that I came home.  Mom brought back some donuts when she got back in town.  I am tied and ready for bed.  

Today when I woke up we got breakfast before we went to King Tiger Harrisburg to grab some stuff before we went to North Charlotte to do some PMA training with Master Malegrito. It was so fun and I had a awesome time, I wish it could have been longer. After I went home and played some basketball and just chilled out for the rest of the day.

Today I went to Taekwondo and did a mentee session. Then I had a good breakfast at chik-fil-a.  Then I had lacrosse practice and we also had breakfast for dinner.  Have a great day!

Today was a busy day, first I went to bb class, then I did a mentee session with Adam, then I went to basketball for 90m and went home did 1h of self defense and 1h of poomsae. I also watched as my mom made octopus for the first time so today was a good day.

Today we started with black belt class, followed by a mentee session for Dylan, and then we helped out in class. Then Dylan had basketball practice. Then we came home and I made octopus. This was a multi-step process, taking the good part of the day, and we had it for dinner and loved it. I no longer have to wait until I go to a restaurant to eat octopus.

🇸🇮 so this morning I got up and had some screen time I got to a new box in cut the rope➰ and went to Black belt class and it was a video class ☹️ 😠 🤬 and then later we listened to spy ski School and then we had teriyaki chicken for dinner and that's about it bye 🇸🇮

Good evening, everyone! This week has been rough with my ankle. I've been pushing through the pain during class and when I am finishing my requirements each day, but after taking sparring on Thursday, it got a lot worse. I really am hoping that it gets better before Monday because I've been sitting out in P.E. almost every day now. Today, I headed to class in the morning, and we were able to work on our self-defenses and blocks. After finishing up class, I came back home and finished my requirements, then we headed off to temple. I just came back, and I desperately need some rest. Have a wonderful day!

Hey guys, These past few days I was diagnosed with Flu B. This is why I couldn't come to Friday BBC or Saturday BBC. However, I should be able to get my last Saturday class, on the day of the physical/written test, and then finish sparring and my last mentor session this week. Since I missed school on Friday, I was able to finish up two more essays and I plan to get the rest done sooner than later. Practicing like crazy for the written test, hoping to pass. I will try to rest and get better. Have a goodnight everyone.

Today I have been very busy. First, I went to sparring where I practiced 2 vs 1 sparring for testing. Then I got a class assistance credit and then left to get Chicfila which was delicious. Then we went to pick up my dad's computer so I could finish up a couple of essays. Then we went to trader joes. For some reason it's always cold there. Now here I am about to do some requirements and play some video games.
