Candidate Journals

Good afternoon everyone. Today I had a busy taekwondo day as Saturday is the busiest day of the week, its worth it though as i get a whole ton of credits and stuff.

Today was bbc and my brothers flag football game they lost. I also went to my moms nail salon to get a pedicure.

Yesterday I went to sitx4kids with Guro maligrito. It was fun.

Today I was floored. Still constantly feeling sore, but resiliently pressing on, against all odds! Sleepy head, hesitant to sweat, but still I hit the deck! Hard! 30 minutes for the run, 2.9 miles long, pull-ups, pushups, seat ups, rope jumps, kick punch combinations, forms! Burpees! Gotta give it up!

Another lethargic day, with some soreness- this time from too much leg work! I could barely lift my legs afterwards. Completed calisthenics requirements, plus 30 leg raises each, pushups, pull ups, and lifted some weight for squats. Ran another 2.5 miles.

Training day! Went into requirements with a different form of determination. Had to force it this time as I was very reluctant to sweat today. It all started with a semi-gentle 2.5 miles completed in 30minutes.

Today I had school and then this afternoon we went to target before black belt class. Then we went to class and worked on self defense which was good. I worked with Dylan. Then we got pizza and watched a movie.

Worked on board breaking tonight after class and that was very helpful. Looking forward to testing coming up.

Two tests today, I think I did pretty well on them. We also got homework over the weekend as well, so that’s going to be interesting. This is my last required journal so I may not be back until next cycle!

Today was stressful because I had three tests today. First was in band which wasn't difficult then ELA which I got 100 on. But then there was math. I have not been very good at this unit so I got 7/10 questions right. Also we had griffin groups and I am in science fiction club where we did a star wars jeopardy and even though I haven't watched star wars I a couple of years, I still guessed almost all of the questions right. After school i played video games for a bit before black belt class and i also got one of my final mentor sessions in. Then i went to run. i have been having pain in my calves so i ran one lap and walked one lap. then I came home to eat dinner which was chicken. Then I played more video games. goodnight.

Today I woke up and went to school as always. We did a book report in school about this science book were reading and we didn't have P.E. because of house day. House day is when 6th graders (me) meet with 1st graders (little buddies) to do fun activities. I went to after school and played four square until it was time for the stix 4 kids seminar, I'm doing the stix combatants tomorrow. Okay I'm done now.

I went to school then played some games then went to sticks 4 kids it was very fun then I ate a snack then played some guitar then went to bed good night everyone 😴🌙 

Friday- Today was pretty dull. Got work done. Ran some errands at lunch and then went to Black belt class. Worked on red belt self defense, I feel ok about those but was mixing up kicking defense 2 and 3, I had those down last week but have somehow forgotten them. Oh well, on the list to practice at home!    

Today I woke up to a wonderful Friday morning, I had a good day, everything went well and according to plan for my classes. Then after school I hung out with my friend, and we played basket ball and rode scooters around Kannapolis. Then we went back to my house to get dinner and play some more basketball and just hung out for the rest of the time until he left. So now I'm just chilling at home with my family. 

So today I woke up like usual and went to school. It was the last day of the week so I was pretty excited for the weekend.  I went to blackbelt class and had to rush to baseball. We got shake shack on the way.  I did pretty good. We won.  I got a sweet 3rd out and got the runner out on second.  That was my day today.  I am going to keep it short.

Hey everyone. This is my last journal entry and I want you all to know to it has been an honor getting to work with you all, talk with you all and pray with you all. Hope you all do well on the final exam and DON'T QUIT! I have learned so much about you all and have told you all so much, sometimes it feels like were all family, knowing each others stories. I have a good rest of the cycle and if you go to Harrisburg, see you tomorrow, and if you don't see at the final exam.

I am starting to see more “0’s” on my requirements. Its a good feeling. Even though they say 0, I will keep practicing. I am excited for this weekend. I get to go camping with my trail life group. It will be my first time with them. I will be doing my requirements will there so I do not get behind. Stay positive everyone. We are in the home stretch.

Technically, I have completed all of my posts....However, I do not like seeing that red/white exclamation. It bugs me. Anyhow, I have been sick for several days. I am getting ravaged by the Junior Tigers. Last week, when Ethan coughed in my face, I knew I was a goner. JT can easily run and play with these viruses, but I am getting knocked out flat. I will just have to wear a mask with them from now on....starting today! Hope everyone is having a fabulous day. Bye!

So today I woke up and did a few requirements and then went to school. I am luckily not missing any assignments so I can sit anywhere in the cafeteria on Friday. We also have a playing test in band on Friday and I am anxious about it because it is harder than the other one. We also have a math test on Friday and I am not excited because I am bad at this unit. After school, I went to church to eat dinner for something called wonderful Wednesday and did youth which was fun but I hurt my hip because someone ran into me. Then I went home to run and do some other requirements. Can't believe there is only one week left. I am hoping I do good because my parents and I would be upset if we did all this for nothing. So I am gonna try...

today i went to school and did a test and got a 95% on it. then i came home and was supposed to go to a football game but my mom didnt let me go. then i stayed home and read and did my homework and that was all i did for today.

Today I spent the majority of my day preparing for my math test this friday and for upcoming midterms. 

Ever since I woke up, the day has been going by very slowly. I felt so tired today, so I took a nap after school to see if that would help, it didn’t do much. I still got through the day though.

So today I woke up and I went to school.  After school I went to king tiger and work on some of my requirements.    I am going to cut my hair all short to save room for a joke.  we after king tiger we went to dinner at melting pot for Coopers birthday.   🚨why do minions wear 2 pair of pants to play golf?    In case they get a hole in one!   🚨

I’ve been having consistent problems with squirrels and my plants. Earlier this year when my blueberry bush was growing blueberries, they vandalize the Bush. They snagged branches, and stole almost all the berries. Currently they’ve been digging in the bedding, and pulling leaves off my raspberry bush. Just recently, I planted succulents in the cactus, they destroyed the succulents and the cactus is missing!  I just don’t know what to do with them, my neighbors keep feeding them so they always stay close. My patio is right next to the tree they live in. My poor plants are being vandalize by these scoundrel squirrels. I guess I need to get a netting for them, or we have to enclose the whole patio. I don’t know what to do.

Back from vacation but not ready to get back to work. These days are moving too fast now, and can’t wait to get through this phase. Great day, with some soreness from stretching a lot.

Late night workout into the early morning today. Found my way into Facebook and our KT black belt page to post my tree picture. I used to spend a lot of time on Facebook. Weather changed up so fast and now there’s a lot of people down with the flu around me, I’m just wondering when I’d start sneezing too now!

Still so tired from yesterday and stayed in bed all morning. I am doing a lot of meditation and forms these days. Trying to get my mind in the right place for the multiple requirements and responsibilities reaching for a screeching crescendo in the coming days.

Picked up my August visitors early today and went for a meeting in the middle of nowhere, met with a long time associate and conversed for about 3 hrs before heading back home. I was the designated driver for the entire day.

Good evening, everyone! Yesterday was not a great day. I went to school early in the morning, and as I was getting off the bus, I fell on my ankle extremely hard, and my friend even heard a crack. I ended up having to go to the nurse, and she told me that i must have twisted my ankle. I could barely even walk, and later we went to the doctor, who informed us that my ankle was sprained. Despite the pain, I went to class today and got my credits. Have a wonderful day!

After a while I was feeling a lot better, so I went to Tae Kwon Do to do some training which was a lot of fun. Over all a pretty ok day for the most part.

Woke up to a gloomy day. I got rained on today while I was walking to class, almost ended up looking like a drowned rat. Rainy days always go by very slow for me but I still made it.

Today I woke up  and went to school.   1st block was pretty boring.   Then I went to 2nd block and heard there was a bomb threat at Bailey.  We went into a modified lockdown for the rest of the day.   Then I went to 3rd block. Nothing new happened.  I went to 4th block and we still had a sub.   Baseball was cancelled because of the rain. I came home and laying around till I had to go to work.  Which really wasn’t all that long.   Came home and had dinner.   

I am craving candy because I am on the nutritional challenge and I cant eat candy, ice cream or sugary drinks. I am tired and ready for the cycle to be over.

I’m so I woke up and it was a normal day.  Turn out we had a bomb threat today. We were stuck out side in the could shivering rain for 2 hours.  Then they brought buses and took us to a storage warehouse. We waited until our parents came and got us.  I got home and went to king tiger.  I took and stayed for several classes today because I went early.  Then I had spaghetti for dinner.   That is my day.    🚨why did the banker lose his job?      He lost interest. 🚨
