Arvaan's Diary - Day 40 Of Black Belt Journey

Day 40: Today was a nice valentines day! Even though I had to redo my essay, I still had lots of fun because of all the candy I exchanged with my classmates and teacher. Once I came home, I looked through all of my candy, cards, and toys that I got and I ate one of the candys. I had extra free time, so I did some practice and played games with also watching a movie! I ate pizza and waffle fries. It was super yummy and savory! Then, I went to bed and brushed my teeth. I hope you have a nice valentines day tomorow!

Tonight it was just Trent and I running the dojang. We had black belt class, sparring, and mentor sessions. Everything went great as I focused mainly on weapon forms, rolls, and falls. At this point in the cycle, I'm trying to make sure everyone of the candidates has learned all the forms and self defenses required for them. It's a lot to go through but they're doing a good job with practicing them.

Friday

School was pretty light today. I didn't have any quizzes or tests, so that was good. We just did some review stuff and some assignments. In PE, I played volleyball at first, but that was boring, so I continued with basketball. In Spanish, we were prepping for our quiz. For the last 30 minutes of class, we went outside and had "Fun Friday," where we could play with our friends with balls or whatever. After I came home, I did my physical requirements and then got ready for BBC class. It was fun, and then after, we had sparring, which was ok. I hurt my thumb after, but I am fine. I just came home, and I think I may have to go to a party, so I have to leave soon. Bye.

nap

Today was a fine day. In math we did subtracting mixed numbers with different denominators. Reading we read our book. Lunch was in AIG. Recess I played soccer. We had AIG again after recess was done. After that was all review about whether. When I got home, I had a headache, so I took a nap. I was not expecting the nap to be 5 hours long, so I missed half the day. Tomorrow is Valentine's Day for our school, so I will need to bring some candy bags for my classmates. For our class, it is fun Friday, and I already know that I know that I got fun Friday because I finished my homework, and all my classwork. I wonder what I will do during fun Friday tomorrow. Also tomorrow marks the 12 years that I had Leo, my dog. HE was between 1 and 3 when we got...

Journal #30 - 2/12/2026 Lalitha

Today was a normal school day, nothing too out of the ordinary. After school I went to help with the Senior Tiger class; I led warm‑ups and worked with a green belt on their poomsaes, which went pretty well. After that I had my mentor session where we went through the single stick form, staff form, and a few poomsaes. Once I got home, I finished up my requirements and wrapped up the day. Pretty steady overall. Hope everyone’s doing well, and good luck with the rest of the cycle.  - ⟭⟬ Lalitha Sree Damarla⁷ ( •̀ ω •́ )y ✨

This morning we worked a lot on poomsaes with Master Evins at training. I enjoyed it as we practiced the poomsaes that is higher than what I've learned which is fun. I like learning them especially the weapons forms. My dad left today to California so visit my grandparents so we had Jakhye and Avery teach the two junior tigers class today. They did well, they don't have a lot of practice teaching yet but their doing a good job.

Today I had a normal day at school. This week it seems that nothing has been interesting at all at school. After school, I went to King Tiger to do some leadership credits and a mentor session. I went home so I could complete some requirements and eat dinner. Then I went back to King Tiger for a mentee session and sparring class. My MCL is really giving me trouble so I had to wear a knee brace for sparring class. Not to comfortable, especially because my brace is ancient. After sparring, I came home and finished up the requirements I did not do before class. - Lucas

Alright day. Got up early and finished some requirements. At school we didn’t do much. In engineering we built a cardboard house so that was cool. Then I came home and went straight to a dentist appointment after. Finally I went on my run, then went to class to finish some more requirements and help with the adult class. I still have some minor requirements left to knock out when I get home. Excited to go to bed.

Thursday

I didn't have too much work in school today. I finished all my work without having homework, which I am happy about. I came back from school about an hour ago, so I finished most of my physical requirements. I am going to go to D-Bat after my dad drops off my brother at the gym, which I am excited for. Today, I think I will focus on hitting because two days ago, I did pitching. I also noticed that today is the halfway mark to the cycle. I can't believe how far I have came and looking at my log, I am surprised by the amount of minutes and miles I have done of various exercises. I have completed 2 requirements fully already, which makes me really proud. I hope everyone is proud of this accomplishment so far.

Today was an async school day, so things were pretty relaxed on that side. I got my requirements done earlier, and later I walked to the dojang. I started with my mentor session, then helped out in the Senior Tiger class where I led kicks. After that I had my mentee session, followed by sparring, and then BBC where we did the single stick form, a few poomsaes and self defense-attacks to finish everything off. It was a full TKD day, but a good one. Hope everyone’s doing well, and good luck with the rest of the cycle.  - ⟭⟬ Lalitha Sree Damarla⁷ ( •̀ ω •́ )y ✨

Middle of the week

Today was a very cool day. I woke up good. Math started as usual. We did some adding mixed numbers with different denominators. Reading was ok. We just read some more of our book, The Phantom Tollbooth. Lunch was ok. I had mac and cheese for lunch today. Recess was cool because I got a good goal. I also switched teams in the middle of the match due to the other team's best player was not showing up the game. Intervention was ok. Science was ok because we did review about weather and all the other stuff about it. Encore was fun because we played games. There was not much stuff going on at school. When I got to taekwondo, I hung out with my friends and got all my requirements done. I lead the down warmups because they are my favorite thing to lead. After taekwondo, I had a basketball game....

Didn't have too much happen today. Learned a little more in my class today to prepare for assignments coming up, then went over to the dojang. My brother and I both got there early to eat lunch since we both picked up food on the way there. I liked high belt class, in the beginning Master Foster had us practice jump rolls over a partner which we don't do a lot of. Afterwards a bunch of the students started playing soccer until we had to leave.

Today I had a regular day at school. It was pretty bland, not a lot was going on. After school, I went to King Tiger for leadership credits. I stayed their for a couple of classes and then it was time to head home. When I got home, I started doing my requirements. Since I did not get the chance  to run in the morning before school, I took an evening run. Running in the evening definitely has a vibe, however I still prefer to run in the morning. Just remember, people quit when the journey gets hard; not impossible. Stay strong. - Lucas

Lovely Weather!!

Another day of wonderful sunshine and 65 degrees!! School was ok, not much happened. I got home, got my run in and started doing requirements. I'm finishing up now and then going to relax with my mom for the rest of the night. I hope everyone is doing well! I know the cycle can be really overwhelming right about now, because there is a lot going on and everything will start piling up soon (if it hasn't already). Just know, you're not alone this. One of the reasons we have these journals is so that we can struggle together and be a community. Its not just everyone for themselves. Your masters and instructors have gone through this and we all know how hard this is. So if you need some encouragement or some help, never be afraid to ask. Even if this isn't your first cycle, its ok to struggle too...

Before I got home though, I volunteered and helped to clean out the school with a couple of my friends. When I got home, I took a nap which was so refreshing. Went to class today to get a mentee session in (might get one tomorrow as well). Anyways, I might just end the day off by watching some Netflix or something.

A Typical Day

Today was an ok day. I woke up fine, but we had to do extra work at school for the class getting mad at the person that reminded the teacher of passing out the homework, so that was annoying. Math went fine, and reading was ok. Reading was ok because I got to read with my friend and talk when we were done with our work. Lunch was fun, because it came quicker that I thought. Recess was fun as usual, because we played soccer. AIG was cool, because I found out that I came in third place for top Math Olympiad. Encore was fun, because I got to talk to my friend again. We had art for encore today. When I got home, I started to work on my game engine. I am done with a print() function, but now I need to work on a wait() function. I was...

Things seem to be returning back to normal. School started at the regular time this morning. I got my progress report and my parents said that it wasn't bad. I need to work more on my math. I was able to help some of the students with their poomsaes in class today.

Happy birthday Lucas!

Good day at the dojang today. Lots of hard work from our color belts, preparing for their testings next week. Workout this morning was hard...took a minute or two to get in the groove. Poomsae tonight with Master Chelley and Instructor Rob. Also some sinawales and connectors refresher with my mentees. Hope everyone is off to a good start for the week. .

Toady was simple. I actually got to run my miles in school today so that was good. It’s now day 9 of only drinking water. Still feeling good. After school I went to taekwondo and took class. After class I had a mentor session and I went home. I had some curd rice for dinner and finished my homework.

Foot is a lot better now. I was able to work on my requirements, but I still need to catch up. At tae kwan do, I was able to get both leadership credits, a black belt weekday and a mentor session in all at once. Once I got home, I played a little more of my phone Family Guy game, still fun as ever. Not excited for school tomorrow.

When I feel like I'm running out of gas I just tell myself I'm not. Does it work? Sometimes yes and sometimes no.

2/9/26 clean juice

A regular week at school now begins. Mondays are of course boring and long . We just mainly caught up on a bunch of stuff for today. After school though I went to taekwondo, and it that area (lake Norman) apparently clean juice was giving away free smoothie bowl thingys and they were actually pretty good. I don’t know why they did it but hey it was free . In tkd I did class assistance and leadership, and also took class. That’s mostly it for today.

Today was average. I used the time this morning before school to get some stuff done. At school I had a field trip for art club at the Pines Resort in Davidson. I got to paint with some seniors and it felt good being able to make them happy and do something with them. When I got back I had a math test and that was pretty much it. Straight after school was TKD. I got a lot done there and now I’m watching TV. Hope everyone has a good rest of week 6!!

Today was good, very normal Monday. Nothing really happened at school today, sadly we had I-ready testing tomorrow. Testing days are actually kind of nice to break it up and they feel pretty short. When we got home I didn’t have some homework, and I had a snack. Then we went to TKD which was fun. When we got home I finished up the homework and now we are watching American Idol! :)

Today was alright I guess, I woke up, Mondays are never fun... Then I went to school to a math quiz which I think I did pretty good on, then I came home and did my homework, then went to KT for a mentee session as well as class assistance and leadership, then I took the class after. When I got home I ate dinner then did my requirements. I didn't mention it, but I did run 3 miles on the football field during our last block of the day. Have a good night, or morning, or evening:/

Today was my birthday, and what makes today even better is that I did not have school today. Isn't that a coincidence. That's a pretty awesome birthday gift if you ask me. When I first woke up, I immediately knocked out my requirements because I knew I had kind of a big day planned. Since I turned 16 years old today, I spent a couple of hours at the DMV taking a road test to get my drivers license. I did indeed pass which is super exiting! It is going to feel really strange being able to operate a car by myself. Especially when going to and from class, not having to be dropped off or picked up. When I came home, I did not have much to do however when the evening came around, I really had to study for school tomorrow. I have and English and AP Environmental Science test tomorrow. I had a really...

For lunch today my dad and I went to the Gibson Mill and ate at the depot deli which is inside of it. The sandwiches are great and its one of our favorite lunch places. Afterwards we went over to the dojang for classes. I take the high belt class as my black belt class there. Its fun as I get to be with all the other students and participate with them.
