Candidate Journals

I had a good and bad day today mostly bad. I fell running and scraped myself but i'm fine.

Today I was playing a game. The games name was super fighters. It was awesome. I lost a lot and won a lot in the end. Bye 

Wow, what a great weekend! Learned a ton at Instructors Camp and had a great time! It was a very tiring, sweaty, rewarding time. I loved training with folks from the other locations. Kudos to all of the 1st timers there as well, we had a great bunch and they worked hard.

Finally school from today.. All excited and waiting to get back to Tae Kwon Do too.. Seems like a long time since i have been to school and Tae Kwon Do.See you all in the evening

Today I was going over things I needed to do and remembered to get half way on my requirements. I know I need to work on it some more but I think I can finish without auditing.

Instructors Camp was sooooooo fun!!! I really want to do it again next year! I learned so many new things;  but one of the main things that got brought up over and over and over again, was about being enthusiastic when helping and teaching in class. I will definitely try to be more enthusiastic!, I love helping everyone, but I guess sometimes I can be a little down about certain things. I also learned about helping people when they are not in a good mood and when they don't really feel like being there. I LOVED using the stocks with Master Evins; he made it so fun to learn and watch! Another thing I really loved was sparring class, we did not end up doing much, because we lost track of time, but I still had a lot of fun with Master Alphin! It was so cool to see him do...

It is the end of a great weekend. I had a super time at Instructor's camp. Was great seeing folks I've met in the past plus new ones I've met this time... there was SO much to learn. I am exausted now though, I think the weekend has caught up with me ... might take me a day (or two) to recoup ...but ... it was worth it. After a late nap ... A lil TWD now and this ole girl is off to bed. Nite all, have a great week!

Today my sister came back from instructors camp and she told me all about it. I can not wait till next year so I can go to instructors camp. It sounded really fun and cool to go to instructors camp. It was nice having her back. I hope everyone had fun at instructors camp. See you guys tomorrow.

My day was good most of my day was studying social studies test tomorrow. I hope that everybody is caught up the requirements

Today I went to five different stores to buy a Beyblade but they don't have it all over the world no more. I had to vs my brother in pool to get my haircut first but he won againist me I loved today we got smoothes it got nerds in the smoothes

I had a bad day today because people are yelling at me and i'm not even doing anything. And I really don't like it.

Another boring day today. Nothing much except finishing my requirements for the day. The one good thing we did was going out for lunch with our friends. I had a good time at lunch and came back home and finished all my remaining requirements. Looking forward to school tomorrow and Tae Kwon Do in the evening.

I'm getting better at my running. I am taking less brakes and when I do, they are planned so I don't take to long of breaks.

Riding home from another strong energizing Instructors' Camp discussing the multiple take always. For me, the progression of sparring kicks to boast confidence is fantastic.

I watched boyhood with my family (except Heloise). Missing Tae Kwon Do :/

Today was crazy my grandma and grampa got my brother not me we went birthday party and Tokyo the new Buffay. I ate a lot shushi ice cream and chicken I felt sad when my grandma and grampa left me at my house and not get me

I had a great day today and had fun with my cousin. And now i'm doing my journal and minding myself.

Today I went to a party. It was awesome. First we started playing on devices, then we went outside. Then we ate. Then we watched a movie and then we played. We went home after that.  

So tonight we are now just getting ready to start the final portion of instructor's camp. BRING IT ON !!!

I am so upset. I forgot to do my journal yesterday. Also my sister is at instructors camp and so is everyone else. We did not have class last night or this morning and I wish we did. I am doing my exercises and homework. I hope the people at instructors camp are having a good time. See you guys on Monday.

I am doing my homework and I went to little tiger class to help out. have a great day

While the instructors are away at Instructors Camp, I get time to do essays. And other things.

It was a normal day yesterday. Boring without school for such a long time. We are losing 3 days from Spring Break. I finished all my requirements for the day yesterday. No Tae Kown Do today. Will focus on getting my stuff done today and play video games

First night at instructor's camp was great.Short night however.. woke.up at 4a.. never able to go back to sleep. .. today may be long. We are off and running.

Awesome first night at Instructors Camp. Poomsaes with Grand Master Lee, base elements of Il Chang with Master Honeycutt, staff forms & defense withaster Osborne. Not a lot of physical requirements so happy I did some earlier.

Today when I took a shower there was a water bug I couldn't get. I had to get out of school beacuse my stomach hurt and I had to drink ginger ale. Today was going to be fun but my stomach hurted but I'm getting a little better.

Today I am very mad. Today me and my family went to get some take out at steak and shake when I got out the car I told my sister not to play on my tablet and when I came back I was mad because she was playing on it.  

Made it to Greenville. . Looking forward to seeing everyone.. let the training begin!

I had an awesome day today and only had 4 hours of school. And I cant wait to eat pizza.

Getting ready to head out to Greenville NC to train with Grandmaster Lee, gonna be a awesome weekend. :)

I am very excited for instructors camp today!, but I am also very nervous, but that is because I have never been. I am doing my journal now, because I do not know how much time I will have to write it later tonight, plus I might be to tired. I hope that everyone has a fun time at instructors camp (to whoever is going)! I hope that everyone has a great day! I hope that everyone has been keeping up with everything!  

We initially had a 2 hour delay start today but now got a call that schools are closed today again. I am very sure that i will not have any spring break. It is really boring sitting at home. Yesterday i finished all my requirements and then went to play in the snow with my sister and dad.No class tomorrow and it will be extremely boring for the next few days till we get back to school and Tae Kwon DO on Monday.

Today was a good day for the most part. The TSA trip is confirmed and i'll have fun waking up super early. :/ I don't know if i could fir in my requirements bc I think it's the full day.

In really wanted snow but I didn't at the same time. We built a really big fat snowman and we were out in the snow all day. I had a lot.of fun. Also we have a two hour delay. I hope the people that are going to instructors camp have fun. See you guys soon.

I am SO glad we did not get the snow "they" thought we might. Making preparations to be away from home for the weekend and heading to Instructor's Camp. Looking forward to seeing everyone... travel safely all!

So tonight after practicing what I need to, I am packing to get ready for to head down to Instructors Camp down in Greenville NC. Gonna Be a hard weekend but BRING IT ON !!!!

Today it was hard beacuse it's hard when you don't know and no ones round to help. Today we had to stay inside beacuse they just wouldn't let me go outside. I also learned how to make different soups and salads

I had a good day today with a nice workout at Anytime Fitness in Huntersville. Looking forward to seeing much of our King Tiger extended family this weekend at instructors camp. 

Today we had no school, and I actually got outside, and got to play in the snow. It was sooooooo fun!!, we built a snowman taller than me, and the base of the snowman was probably over 60 pounds!! It was crazy fun, and we invited a few of our friends over, and they helped us make the snowman!! I also worked on my exercises, and I got a lot done!! I hope that everyone had a FUN snow day! I hope that everyone has been keeping up with everything! I am also really excited for instructors camp, I am a little nervous though.

My brother and I built a snow man name StamyChillNose. It was so cool until I finished taking off my snow gear in the garage and turned around to find that my sister decapitated it to make a snow fort. Aww, poor Chill.

Snow day today and no school. Had a good day yesterday at the class. Got a few sparring rounds done. I have my day planned out today. After finishing the requirements will be out in the snow and play with my sister

SNOW !!!!! I am SO ready for Summer ! I do admit though that I have already been outside in it.. I worked on some sparring rounds on BOB, who resides in the very back of my yard.... In the snow! The several weeks of no food really took a toll on me, and I can really tell when I am trying to do any kind of sparring rounds. Tonight's class was good. I had an opportunity to work with Ms. Julia on my staff form and some self defenses. She has agreed to be my self defense partner for the Black Belt test. She is really an awesome young lady! I am running out of time.. the clock will click to midnight in moments and I may miss my journal entry for the day. So for now, Everyone enjoy their snow day!

So tonight, I am really tired, sore, and once again tired haha, had a long day today, then came to class, it wasnt that hard today but still im just really tired today

Nothing much today happened besides, school TKD and snow. Good day. I should finish my homework a requirements. Also, I'd like to try and get up early so I can help my dad clear the driveway bc he has work tomorrow.

Today I only went to kick boxing class, and like I have said before you should go if you can or if you have a kick boxing class, because it gives you a lot of sparring rounds!! I got 20 rounds!! We don't have school tomorrow! And we will not have to make the day up!! I hope that I will be able to get outside for a little bit while the snow is still there, but it all depends on how much stuff I get done for Taekwondo.  I hope that everyone had a great day! I hope that everyone has been keeping up with everything!

Things did not align well on Tuesday limiting my numbers. Came back with a very strong Wednesday. I used our family membership at Anytime Fitness to run on the treadmill and work out, then went to LKN for a full evening of classes & requirements.

Today I took a kick boxing class. I got 20 sparring rounds in and I am almost done with them because of Kick Boxing. I can't believe are supposed to get 10 inches of snow. It is not that big of a surprise to me because my whole family lives in Buffalo, New York. We have tomorrow off. Do you guys??? Are you guys going to have fun in the snow????

Today I had a great day at school we did fractions we did reading non fiction books of a person who did something good. Today at tae kwon do I learned attack form one. Today at sparring tiger kick we in the eye really hard so I cryed.

I had a great day today I helped out and took class. And I really do not like the white belt challenge.

i have got a lot of work to do this weekend from school and essays. So much...................... (brain explodes)

Had a very burpee and lunge intensive class this morning at Crossfit! Almost a hundred of each. Had a great class yesterday from Master Evins doing a ton of self-defense. It's also been a blast working with my mentee, Jay Jay. He learns very quickly, and I admire how he tries hard and is serious about training. Instructor's Camp is getting closer and closer...

So yesterday schools were closed due to snow. I am not sure if i will have any spring break this year or not. Had a great Black Belt Class yesterday and did a lot of kicks. Waiting for Ms Evins to send the dropbox and then submit my essays. Heard that it is supposed to snow on Thursday again and schools may be closed..

My husband bought me a Fitbit bracelet so I can keep up with all my miles walked and calories burned. Love it! Looking forward to Instructor Camp this weekend.

Today I took a hyper pro class and we also practiced some black belt stuff in that class. We got a lot of rolls and falls in. Today was my second day of the whit belt challenge. It was not as bad as yesterday because I took hyper pro with my white belt and helped out with the next class. I got both leaderships in and a.mentors session. The only thing I need to get caught up on is mentor and mentee sessions. I go to class a lot and I do not know how I am behind on those. I go to class almost everyday and most of the time I take 2 or 3 classes in a day. Did you guys already do your white belt challenge??? If you did how was it??? Did you like it and how did you feel??? See you guys tomorrow.

Today I only had Hyper Pro and PMAA Class. Hyper Pro class was fun, because we worked on rolls and falls and we worked on a few of the things for the Black Belt Curriculum; we also worked on kip ups (sorry if I spelled that word wrong, I don't have any idea on how to spell it). It was very fun! After Hyper Pro class I had PMAA Class, and there were a few new faces which were fun to see, because I got to work with more than one person! I also learned how to do a few more things, which are fun to do. I hope that everyone had a great day! I hope that everyone has been keeping up with everything!

So tonight in Red Belt and Up class, at Belmont location we did something a little different, we started off doing yellow belt self defense, then we did a thing were we still did yellow belt self defense number 1, but we had to do a take down but in a different way than yellow belt number one. ( its hard to explain haha you would have just had to be there in order to understand what I am trying to say:p ) lol but still it was a good class tonight, it made my brain think :p

Today it snowed and if we miss one more day of school they take it out of my schools spring break. Not fare at all. 

Today was my first menty session with Zacker and I got a lot of work with Zacker we did poomsae yulk Chang and self defens. I did black belt class and family class today it was fun.

I had a great day and I am enjoying the white belt challenge. I am also working on staff forms.

Monday brought a good start to the week which we know is going to end well with Instructors' Camp. I had a terrific Sabbath Sunday with church & family. Monday was a good day at the LKN dojang with classes, pooms and requirements. 

Schools are running 2 hour delay today due to snow. I hope they don't cancel school today since its snowing now. I had a good session with my mentee yesterday and I am proud of him. My mentee sessions are done however i will still keep working with him and help him in anything he wants.

Today was good. We had our 2K test in rowing today. 7.17.4 I've heard that's pretty good for my age, but there is always room to improve. I am also noticing an increase of muscle mass in my chest, thank you ~5,000 push ups! (and counting)

Not that bad of a workout tonight in class, but still feeling physically drained still, but still getting done what needs to be done

Today I practice attaking and defense with the staff did staff form one. I meet someone new in class he's name was zerodo I don't know buy he's new in taekwon do durring class we practice self defense Bo cha don I also took hyper with swords

Today I had my first day of the white belt challenge. It was ok, I like being a black belt better because you can do more stuff. I thought it was kind if boring to do the same thing over and over again. It is nice to be a black belt because you can do more things. It was weird being in the back of the line. Also , I got a leadership 1 credit in and a meter session in. I had a great day and I hope you did to. See you guys tomorrow.

I had a great day until at the end of the day when I got kneed me in the jaw. And then my dad broke his toe.

Today was my first day of the White Belt Challenge, I hated it, it was very boring; I think I thought that because I am so far along and doing all of the White Belt stuff is very easy and I find it hard to understand why it took me a hour and fifteen minutes to work on white belt stuff when I first started. It did definitely feel different; it felt weird "starting all over" and being a white belt, I could not really do anything throughout the whole class because of it. I remember 1st starting, and not knowing anything, and now I really realize how far I have gotten in Taekwondo and how much I have accomplished! Knowing how much I have accomplished in my life makes me want to keep working hard and work harder to achieve more goals! I LOVE Taekwondo and I have high confidence...

Everyday is a new day and ever day we get closer and closer to black belt testing. I am looking forward to it. 

Today is school after one whole week. It was difficult getting up at 5am to do my run but somehow managed to drag myself out of bed and do the run. Just came back from my morning run with dad. Getting ready for school. Time flies. Its 6.30am and i have very little time before bus comes. Bye

Feeling a little stronger today. A boiled eggs and toast... does wonders.I've tried to do a little extra on requirements today, not trying to overexert, but so badly need to catch up. Looking forward to Instructors Camp!Hope all are well

Today I had and still have plenty of work to do. I have a couple tests tomorrow and I have to prepare.

Had a good long weekend this past weekend, went to a good black belt class this past saturday, did self defenses from neutral stance on saturday, which is really hard but looks like i found something i really need to work on haha. Still got my requirements done this weekend as well

I forgot to do my journal yesterday(I am still in the green) but I do not like missing a day on journals. Yesterday I had s great day. I went to black belt class and sparring. After that we went home and then my sister's friends dad got a promotion and invited us over for dinner. I had a salad with grilled chicken in it. It was really good. When we got home I watched dolphin tale 2. It was a really good movie and you guys should watch it. I also watched 1000 to 1 last week which was also a good movie. Today I did my homework and exercises. I also watched dawn of the planet of the apes. That was a good movie too. Whenever I watch a movie I am doing my exercises at the same time. See you guys tomorrow.

I got up a little late today which did not make me happy, but I did get a lot of rest! Soon after I got downstairs I ate and then started to do my exercises, I got a lot done and then I had to take a break and finish my homework, then I had to go to church and then a class, and now I am going to finish my exercises! I am a little worried, because I think I accidentally left my Black Belt notebook at Master Evins school, and I am very worried that I won't be able to get it back before class tomorrow. My mom said that she would go and get it if it is there but I don't  know when that would be. Next time I will be more careful! I had to do a few extra things to do, and I set it...

I had a great day today but still have a very hard project. My life is good and i'm looking forward to being a black belt.

Trying to get back into my requirement routine after sickness, being with my friend, and snow days. Had to work today for 9 hours, but I'll be working on requirements after dinner.

Today I am having a lazy day and it is really hard to even make these journal today

Yesterday had a good Black Belt Class and Sparring class. I am definitely understanding the variations in sparring and what I need to work on. I am ready for school next week. Our make up days are now in March during our spring break.

Hello good day today. I'm currently working on poomsaes with my sisters, no time to waste.

I had a great day went to black belt class and still went to my cousin Christian's birthday party. I am back home and ready for another day.

Today I went to Taekwondo and then I went to Sparring Class. I really think that I am getting better at sparring, and I am learning a bunch of new things, that are fun to practice against an opponent to try and improve my skills. I hope that everyone had a great day. I hope that everyone has been keeping up with your exercises.

Made it through both the Black Belt class AND sparring class today. YEAH! I am pretty tired though. Going to read a little of my book and call it a night.

Dealing with a very sore throat I throttled it down a little today. I attended BB & Sparring Classes but did not run. I did bump up my requirements a little when I got home.

Yesterday I left my book at school and I hope they will sigh a peace of paper. But I did not mean to take it to school.
