Candidate Journals

Today was an average day I did some requirements watched football and move on with my day so that is how my day went also yesterday with Master Jeffrey Gay was really cool

I had a AWESOME day. I went to the park with my TKD friends and did some sparring and running, plus poomsaes. For the rest of the time there we played tag or was swining.

Today was my b-day and we went to a restaurant, it was fun but I really didn't want to do some requirements

It was such a nice day out today! It made me have a good day today, i was motivated to go to the gym as soon as i woke up and finish my requirements. I have been doing well on my requirements but I am only concerned for my pull-ups. I feel as though even though I am practicing i won't be able to do one by physical test day. Other than that, I have been practicing everything and am able to do them! After the gym, i did my homework and then relaxed the rest of my Sunday!!

Today was my second day of selling soap for my community service project.  Even though most of the people that I planned to see were not home, I still had a good trip.  I am now over 100 dollars.

I had a nice day, my birthday, yah, it was nice. We went to a restaurant, and after that we went to Kerns road, ( one of the properties of land that we own) and visited our neighbors. We saw their adorable goats, they would eat anything, I had taken a really long, flexible branch, and I gave one end to one goat and the other end to the other, and they would just chew, chew, chew. It was pretty cute.

Had a fantastic time at Grandmaster Gay seminar yesterday. Thank you Master Evins for having a open mind and introducing us to different styles of martial arts. Now my shoulder enjoy it so much so it keep me up till about 1. I am investing money in ice packs and Ibuprofen.

I got my workout in and then watched some football with my Dad. I am getting ready to go to church. It has been a pretty busy weekend.

Hanging out with my dad this weekend , AGAIN! We are having fun and going to the panthers game later. WOOHOO.

I had a light day today. Very little TaeKwonDo. Down to the last few weeks.....will start working harder. There are only 3 days of school this week.

Today I got some new fish for my fish tank. I also finished up my random acts of kindness.

Today i am selling some more stuff on ebay to hopefully get some more money.

Today really enjoyed the seminar, it was a nice way to start of the day considering I have a huge pile of chores to do after. Anyway, I also had a mentee session with Rachel right before and I look forward to the next :-)

Yeeaahhh, It's Saturday! I Had To Get Up Early For Black Belt Class. After That I Got To Hang Out With Family. I Even Got To Go To My Favorite Park!

Today i cleaned up my room and our play room. my mom said we needed to get the house straightened up so my brother and i cleaned up for a while and then played in the back yard. We played our game of volleyball with beach balls and a soccer goal as our net. I worked on my essays some today with my mom.

Had a great time today at the Grandmaster Gay seminar - -very cool. Requirements had some issues today however for some insane reason I decided to become Forrest today. Got 4 miles in this morning before the seminar then jumped on the treadmill again tonight. Have family coming into town for the game tomorrow so I have a feeling that the weekend is not going to be as productive as I wanted but you never know - - - -.

Right know I'm in bed writing my journal...Today was SO FUN. I hope everyone was there because it was AWSOME we did these really cool palm, back of hand, and calf " hand shake" or at least that's what my sister and I called it. Anyways after we were done Master Evins called my sister and I and I thought it was over, I was odditing, I was just thinking what did we do? Then he called Master Hartle, all three to get the noodles, then I remebered its my birth day tomorrow :)

The seminar today was pretty cool. We learned some really good conditioning drills. My hands are now nice and bruised up. I ended up going to the international festival and got to see some capoeira it was a very cool demo.

The seminar was fun today I learned how to medetade and to condition my hands it was a really good experience to go to a different art and feel like a white belt again

I had fun today I went to sparring class in belmont and then helped some people get rid of some stuff they did not want. I came home and toke a shower,ate, and spent the rest of the day with my family.

Got up early and did a Blk Belt Mentor Session in Mint Hill. Worked on testing requirements. I did very good at everything.

Today I worked on my community service project, by selling the soap that I made for new skill.  I made $84 so far and I will be working on that for the next couple of days.  I am having lots of fun talking to neighbors and telling them about the black belt cycle.  

Grand Master Gays Seminar was today and it was a great! The time went by very fast because the conditioning warm up he taught us was so fun that everyone was very engrossed in it! It didn't feel like 1 hour and 45 minutes! After that seminar was over I went to my normal volunteer shift at CMC main at 2 and then went home to so my requirements!!

Today I went to sparring class and it was Master Shin's birthday so everyone had a donut after class. We all enjoyed it. After class I came home and did my requirements for today and worked on studying for the written test and did some meditation time since we didn't have much going on.

Today we had our garage sale! We earned one hundred and nineteen dollars from the garage sale. I also have some money for selling stuff on ebay. So altogether i have about one hundred and fifty dollars. But i still need more money.

Today I got to go to my masters sparring class which I haven't been in a long time I really enjoyed it.

Just got done running a solid two miles and did a lot of requirements. Get to have fun for the rest of the day.

I just woke up. We were supposed to go to swim practice, even if it started at 7:30, like you had to be their at 7:30, and my mom kind of gave us some slack, so we didnt go. I really sleepy, I always feel like dozing off at any moment or time.

today i just relaxed and played videogames and hung out with the family.

Today I had a sparing class and saw some pictures being taken. It was a rush to get there cause I had to run from my bus stop to my house to get to my moms car quick enough. Tomorrow I will have a mentee session with Rachel and I look forward to it though :-)

Had a nice review at BB class today. Im exited for the seminar tomorrow and am curious as to what will happen. Overall my day went well.

Happy its Friday, very productive day. The stacks on my desk at work are seeing the light of day and left early so what a great start to the weekend. Went to South Charlotte and was able to get in a fair amount of requirements before testing, very thankful for that time. Testing went great as we had both a 5:00 and 6:00 group. Kids did fantastic and even better 3 adult white belt ladies rocked it!!!! Looking forward to the weekend, it will be crazy like most but that seems to be par for the course.

Today is the final day for perpairing for the garage sale. It has been a lot of work but i will be glad to get some money for the cycle. I will have to get up early and going to bed late every night and being woken up for the last three days will NOT help. I am excited but super exhausted. I hope the garage sale will go well and i will earn most of my money for the black belt cycle.

I Stayed At Home All Day Today. That Doesn't Happen Very Often. I Did Schoolwork, Played Video Games And Did My Requirements.

Today is Friday. YAY!!!!! Today was a really good day. I got all my requirements done , it was a good day at school, and it's Friday! A day can't get any better.

Crazy day at work but that's the norm. Busy day/night at South Charlotte since it was photo day. One little tiger was so excited, got his belt tied, all spiffied up, so I say ready for your kodak moment. His answer- - -no I am getting my picture. Yup I am old!!! Good night in class with lots of kicking- - -green stripe week. Still struggling with trying to get requirements in but I will not get discouraged.

Well today was a good day with my mentee. They may be young but they love learning new things. Now only if I can get my teenagers to work like the two young ones. Had to cut back on my upper body requirements left shoulder dose not to play this week.

I am reading a really cool book. It is called Myth Busters. They have a tv show to. I had black belt class tonight and sparring class. I had fun at sparring. But I missed my brothers soccer game.

Today I had a mentor session and helped out with the little tigers class. I also got a leadership 2 credit and took BBC. I look forward to hopefully having a mentee meeting with Rachel this Saturday. :-)

today I did a mentor meeting it was cool because I did hopkeedo and it felt good

Today I learned a lot at blackbelt class. I learned Hop Kido numbers 1-6. I also think I did very good on 2 tests I had today at school which is good!

Today I got in another leadership 1 and I helped out with some new white belts. It feels like every day is so crammed it with homework and every thing.

Today I had TKD class and Sparring so I didn't get home till 7:45 so then I had to rush to get my math homework and my Language arts homework done.  

Today I did my normal routine of doing my running at 5:45am and then half of my requirements before school. After school I went to taekwondo & took 2 classes and finished up my requirements. Doing my requirements is much easier now then it was at the beginning of the cycle and just seems like a normal part of my day. Tonight I studied for the written test and then did meditation while my mom made dinner.

I'am sooooo close to my birthday because its tomorrow, can't wait! today in school was fun because in math we learned something easy, in science we did a work sheet and a small quiz, And in ELA we did some reading and a activity. Awesome!!!

Today i have not done much. I did go to two classes and got some requirements done plus a mentee and mentor session. I plan to do more but it may be time for bed soon i'll try my best to do some more.

Thursdays Are Long Days For Me. I Have 4 Tkd Classes. Even Though I Am Homeschooled, I Will Have Homework Tonight!

today i was supposed to go to my favorite class which is art class, but my teacher wasnt their so I had to go to computer skills. it was so boring but I was so glad because I got to leave early.

Just got back from Georgia had a really good time got 1/4 of my kwan essay done which takes some stress of me

Today I get to go and play football with my friends, its not going to be as fun today, because it is my turn to referee this week.  

Getting dressed for school this morning. Got my instrument to bring today so, might learn new pieces.

Had a hard day today.  I need to be bringing more food to eat because I'm getting much too fatigued by the end of the day. 

I am conceding Wednesdays, the towel is tossed. For me its more like wipe out Wednesdays, maybe its because its the only day I do not go straight to the dojang after work. Gotta find a solution to this and even spark does not help.

Training with Master Evins this morning and the other master/ school owners was awesome. We went over Hop Ki Do Form 1 and self defense. Need it the small thing that make a difference.

Getting very close to the test. I need to start studying and finish some of the essays. Also when are we doing the group Community Service???

today was a productive day i did a lot of work in school and i also had a good class today and i worked on my new skill some.

Today I took an instructor picture. I am not sure if it is for the wall or for the poster. Either way it is pretty cool. I look forward to the kids respecting me more.

Today were pictures today at KTA Lake Norman they were pretty cool especially the weapons

Today I got in a mentee session in. I just wanted to have a sort of break on my requirements because I had a lot of homework tonight.

Had a great Crossfit workout this morning (lots of running, rope climbing, handstand pushups, and 150 wall ball squats!) After that, a great training session with SaBumNim and some other masters/instructors. Got to work on black belt special self defenses, and Hapkido Form 1. Great stuff. I'm sure I'll sleep like a log tonight.

Mom fixed my PC again....Yaaaaa.Thanks MomSchool was a little boring today.

I am getting ready to go to church. I practiced 2 rounds of my poomsaes after school today. I didn't have a great day at school today. I got in trouble for talking.

Donuts!!!!!!!!I came back from an exiting school day, one thing I auditioned for first chair in band (clarinet) and I made it, so im the first cahir clarinet in band. My sister had some exiting news same with my bro. So since my brother sister and i insisted that we should get donuts at harris teeter. so we did, and....I love food......well I ate a donut, naturally, my brother gulped down 2. pig.

Getting ready for school. In yesterday's black belt class I learned a lot of new poomsaes to work on like Wang Ho 1 and basic form three.

So I do sparring class last night to test the feet, well they are still tender, yes I said it I am a tender foot, but had fun working out again so hopefully I can keep it going and deal with the tender feet. I am concerned about the 1/2 Marathon though coming up in November got to see how far I can run this weekend

Had a better nights sleep last night.  Today I got a lot of requirements done.  I definitely need to bring more food because I was really hungry. 

It felt like Friday today which made the day very long! After school I had to volunteer to pass out Mac books to the kids! We finally got them for everybody it was exciting but I had to miss my PMAA class because it ran long, which was bad! But after the session I got to customize it and make it my own! Other than that I had no homework for once and got to relax and take my time on my requirements!!

Feeling good today. Was able to get a lot done a round the house. Then help in the family class and enjoyed the black belt class and the PMAA class. The right leg is coming a round to feeling better again.

Last night great black belt class and even got a sparring class in. Photos on thursday so slight adjustment to schedule and had an unexpected extra class. All very good and it gave our competition team a little different change of pace with the elders in class getting abused. Thank you Inst. Hsin!! We may not be as quick, jump high or land a head shot but we have years of wisdom to share. Tonight was non stop and great to meet with my mentee William. He is so willing to learn and focused, I can not wait till his time comes to test and go on cycle, no doubt he will. I am not where I want to be on requirements but I am confident it will all work out in the end, if not I have my AARP card and heating pad so all is good. Night I need...

today I had a mentee meeting and I worked on red belt 1 and 2 in self defense and he has it down

Today I entered the info that finished my BB weekday and by BB weekend, thanks to the hyper pro credits. Today I had a Mentor session. I keep saying this, but it is extremely hard to balance schoolwork and TKD all at once, i just keep telling myself, it will all be over in a month...

Today I helped out with class, I also took my second mentee session with Rachel. I hope I will be able to have another mentee session this Saturday. So that I will be able to have all the sessions soon:-)

I was at boy scouts today about an hour ago and it was really stormy. like pouring rain everywhere. and we were locked out of the building so we walked to a church and just hungout outside of it till it was time to go. haha

Went to Krispy Kreme before school today. Got a hair cut after school. Dad leaves again tomorrow.

Today at tae Kwon do we worked on self defense and forms. I think I finally got my self defense down pretty good. I also got a mentee session in and a hyper class. It was a good day at tae Kwon do.

Today was a good day I went to school and got all of my work done except for vocabulary for literature. Then I went to tae Kwan Do for a black belt class. I did not do too much today.
