Candidate Journals

So for the pretest i tried to puch myself see what I have, what I am made of, I work out regularly so what to see. I did each mile of the 4 miles faster than the first goal one check. Did all my pushups so on and tried to do plank but it hit me then, I had the shakes so only did a minute. Then today my knee was just not working, so sore I barley slept last night. I think it will get better in a few days, but I really do have to remeber to be happy I am still doing this at 65 and keep myself healthy. 

I woke up very late today, around 10 am. My dad made chicken sausage and it was pretty good (I'd give it a 8/10). I then got some stuff out of the way, like my basic exercises, projects, poomsaes, self defense, and kicks. I practiced a bunch of rocks for my science class. I watched videos oversimplifing WWII ghettos for my English presentation. 

Today I woke up at 9:30, this is very much sleeping in for me, usually I wake up rather early on weekends. When I woke up, I wasted no time getting to my requirements. I got those knocked out pretty early in the day. That means the rest of the day was left for completing homework and recovery time. Nothing else eventful happened, the rest of my day and night was pretty lowkey.

Yesterday was the pretest, and after completing the mile, the physical requirements, the written test, helping with a class, and having leadership, I was exhausted. When I returned home, it was 12 PM. I was so hungry, so I ate a lot of food and took a nap. I thought I would only be asleep for 1 to 2 hours, but I woke up at 6 PM. I didn't think I was that tired, but... I was. When I woke up, there were guests at my house, and we were having a party, so I didn't have time to log in my requirements or journals. I got a little sad, because I was having a streak with my journals, but sadly it ended. Now, let's talk about how I did in the pretest. I really surprised myself with the mile, being 8:20, and thought I was going to do great today....

I’m gonna help my family clean cars so then we can go to an arcade called Dave & Buster’s and play games. 

Today we had the pretest. I woke up at 5am so I could get ready and get to the track on time by 6:30. When I got there I waited a bit and then did my run with the other Bo Cho’s. We then went to the North Charlotte location for the physical/mental exam which I did decently on. Overall, I think I did well but there is room for improvement.

Today we did our pretest and it was very hard. My Papa said it reminded him of a military workout and it was proud of me for the way that I pushed through and completed my task. 

Today was a little hard because of the pre test I had to run a mile at 6:30 am in the morning with a hurt foot and then do a bunch of exercises at king tigers north charlotte but put pushed through it.

Today was my pre test and i had to wake up at 520 am and runa mile and i ran it in 10:39 minutes after that i had to go to tkd to do my physical part we had to do sit ups, push ups, v ups,jump hope, high plank.

TODAY, wuz the pre-test and i woke up around 4:45am just because I had to get breakfast and start a lil earlier. At the track I ran 3 miles in around 30mins. After the run I went to King Tiger North Charlotte for the physical pre-test. I feel like I did pretty good overall, after that we worked on poomaes:). AFTER that I went to get more breakfast and then go to my uncle's house so my dad could help him with this home theater. After I came home from that at like 7:30pm I ate dinner then watched tv...

I woke up today at 5 and I barely got myself out the door. I did my run and I tried to pace myself with master Marcus but he has STAMINA, I barely kept up. After the run I got pretty average requirements on my workouts. After the pre test I went to help the class at KT Harrisburg and called it a day. My parents had to go shopping for my sister and they took me to my friend’s house after. 

Today was a long but solid day. I woke up at 4:30 AM, got myself together, and headed out for the Pre‑Test this morning. I ran 4 laps around the track, then came in for the written and physical portions. I also went through my poomsaes, and honestly, everyone did a really good job today the energy was strong and focused. After everything wrapped up, I came back home, studied for a while, got some work done, and cleaned up my space just to reset my mind a bit. Good luck to everyone for the rest of the cycle — we’re off to a strong start.   Thanks,   Lalitha Sree Damarla⁷

The day started at 5:00 for me. I was at the track by 6:00 to start my run. surprisingly I actually like running in a neighborhood with hills rather than on a flat track. I feel like my lower legs got fatigued easier when they hit that ground at the same angle every time. In a neighborhood, there are hills which prevent this from happening. Anyway, the pretest was continued, we finished up the physical requirements, and then went directly into class / pre test poomsae test. After all of that, I came home, grabbed something to eat, and then started with the rest of my physical requirements that the pre test did not cover. After all was complete, I had a pretty leisurely rest of my day and night. Until next time, - Lucas

Today was the pretest. I hadn’t woke up at like 5:20 in a long time but surprisingly I didn’t feel tired  That much. on the 3 miles we got there at like 6:15 and I did each mile in around 10 minutes, my final time being 30:37. Then we went to do the rest of the pre test stuff and I felt like I did decent on them. My favorite is the jump rope though as I loved watching rocky with my dad and seeing them train. If you hadn’t watched any rocky movies I suggest you do. After the pretest and poomsaes. I went home and took a nap as to catch up on some sleep and I felt like I deserved it. Then I watched the panthers game…. Butttt they ended up losing by 3. Anyways that was it for today so goodnight.

It is rare that I take a nap but today I made a well deserved exception.  I have found that I have to force myself recovery sometimes, even if I don't want to.

Today I didn't like having to wake up so early, but I think I did ok on my pretest.  There's a lot of improvement I can do on my forms though.  After that, I went to a spot with my mom, friend and his mom to watch the Panther's game.  I'm now in my bed!

Today as soon as I woke up at 5:30a.m., I grabbed my water, my junior instructor's book, my jump rope, a pen, and my black belt book. I studied so hard last night and this morning to get ready for the pre-test. I even studied staff form 1 and double stick form (I didn't really need to do that, but I thought I needed to do it for some reason). I thought in my head the whole time "what if I forget all of the stuff-". I panicked then I got my confidence back. When I got done with poomsaes, I was so sore. The pre-test really was a challenge, but I got through it. I also like that now I have a better understanding of what I'm doing, where I'm currently at and have a baseline to help myself improve from. When I left from the North Charlotte King Tiger,...

It was hard to wake up this morning, but I am happy the pre test is done and that it went well! The mile was not as hard as I was expecting, and I think the poomsaes went well. I was also surprisingly not super tired! For the rest of the day we just relaxed. Overall I think it was a good day, and good job to everyone!

First week of cycle is officially done! Waking up this morning for the pretest definitely hurt… but I’m really proud of my performance today. Also, running my miles wasn’t as hard as I thought. I am now super tired! The rest of the day I spent relaxing. Im disappointed about the Panthers loss though!! I know Im going to sleep well tonight 😅 Everyone did a great job today! 

Today was pretest day so I had to wake up like I was going to school around 4:45. I pr’d on my mile today so that was really good. The poomsae part was good aswell. I really need to study for the written test tho cause that was hard for me. Then I got my hair braided and did the rest of my requirments. Pretty decent day.

Today was the pre-test I had to wake up early and went to the track for the running portion then I went to the dojan for the rest of the physical part I think I did pretty good on that then we did some Poomsae's and didn't have time for self-defense but I think I definitely have to work on that and then I went home and practiced

I felt good on the pre-test, especially the mile I found myself being able to go much faster then usually. The poomsae portion was also good there wasn't anything major I messed up. Obviously there's still going to be tweaks and many more to come but it was still a good day.

Today was the day of the pre test! I woke up super early at 5:00 and ate some eggs. I felt good because I get to run laps, and its also Saturday! As soon as I arrived at the track, I started running but was told that its not my turn yet! I was so exited that I forgot how hard the pre test would be. I had to do four laps around the track but I did some extra! When I came to the taekwondo pre test, We instantly started and I introduced myself to my partner. His name was Jacob! We all started off with the physical test. I did pretty good on it. Next was poomsaes because we did not have time for self defense. I was sweating buckets-a LOT! We also had a written test which I did. Once our test was finished, we got some donuts...

Overall awesome day!  Except for going to the wrong track(palm slaps forehead), I was really proud of myself today.  Ran 4 miles without walking or stopping, decent time.  I feel I set the bar pretty high for myself on almost everything physically.  No mistakes on poomsaes during the pre test.  Raced over to the Harrisburg dojang right after class was dismissed to teach a class.  Also got in a mentee session.  Looking forward to a nice rest day tomorrow with some possible icy Hot patches.  Have a great weekend everyone!

It was so nice to put a face/voice to everyone's name today! I was so proud of all of you who came out and completed the pre-test before the sun was even up! Although some need a little more practice than others, I saw really great effort today and was very proud of all of you. BBC is really hard and everyone has different ways of pushing through. You have to find your way, what works best for you may not work best for someone elese and that's ok. Anyways, my run went really well. I achieved my goal of being sub 40 for 4 miles!! Once I got back to Lake Norman TKD, I still had to work but then I came home and watched some TV while I did the rest of my requirements. I worked ahead on some stuff today and I'm hoping I won't be too sore tomorrow!...

Good Afternoon, Football weekend, I have decided why I like football, it is not beacuse of the game but beacuse of hope. I told this to Master Weeks last week. Overall, when the season starts you have hope that the team goes far, when they paly or arch enemies team, you ahve hope no matter how bad they have done so far this season, just beat that team and fnally when they loose and are out of the playoffs so on

Today I ran through my miles first thing at 6 am and then we headed over to the dojang to finish up the rest of our pretest. From there we did excersices and poomsaes. After the pretest I went and got myself a bagel from Dunkin Donnuts, it was delicious. So know what I'm going to do is some studying, practicing, and relaxing!

did my pre test 

The weekend is here, last school day this week. I tried to practice but had a small leg injury. The pretest is tomorrow. Let's see what's next.

Today was what we named years ago my cancerversary.  The day that I was given my breast cancer diagnosis 14 years ago.  I celebrated it by being on the black belt cycle, and I really do mean that.  This day will always remind that I am tougher and stronger than I think.  Sometimes it's the hardest things that teach you the most important lessons. So embrace the hard and scary things and challenges because as my mentee and friend, Marina, says "We can do hard things." And life is good once you get through it! Happy Pretest Eve!

Today I woke up and went to school. I had a math quiz today but it was not too difficult. We began to work on our project for English as well. When I got home I was able to get in some curriculum studying in and then I went to black belt class. After that, we had advanced sparring which went well. Once I got home I showered and now I have to sleep early in order to be prepared for the pre-test.

SO today I went to school, nothin unusual happened today. Then I went home did my homework and then went to King Tiger. Before Black Belt Class I had a mentor session and we worked on staff form 3. After class I went home and had some dinner. After that I ran a mile on my treadmill then did my requirements.

Woke up got in the car got home workout.  Did jump rope Went to black belt class and sparring.

Today when I got to school, I realized that tomorrow is the pretest for the black belt cycle. Well, I am excited but, I am also nervous. It is my first time doing all of the forms and self-defense at one time. Also, I have never taken a physical fitness test before. My allergies have also been messing with my sleep and my focus (because I need to blow my nose a lot). After school, I took some medicine and a nap before my black belt class. I also did sparring tonight. After I got home from taekwondo, I reviewed everything for the pretest. I hope I do well in the morning. In my free time at school, I worked on code for my phone project in code.org. This is the link to it so far if you want to check it out:  https://studio.code.org/projects/applab/t8oueKkPLWNOX3I7e6KQqStJwTfnaHcKdoyaLXxkWao  If you click the link, you will...

Tomorrow is the pre test! I am exited and a little nervous, but I have been practicing today so I hope it goes well! Today was pretty normal, but I was happy it was Friday. I took it easy on the requirements, to feel good for tomorrow and I wish everyone luck! :)

I day was pretty normal other than the nerves I was feeling. I went to school and we didn’t really do anything interesting and I was so tired after school. I had a ton of homework so I couldn’t go to tae kwon do and I was pretty bummed but it’s all right. I had some dinner and now I’m about to sleep.

I am feeling very nervous and excited for tomorrow. It is the Pretest tomorrow, and I will have to do many exercises and requirements. I hope I run a decent mile time and will try my best for the other exercises. Today, I had a normal day in school and had a math test, which I did excellently in. I just came back home and finished all my homework, and took a shower. I didn't get to go to a class today because I am doing the white belt challenge, and I am not allowed to go to the black belt class. That is a severe obstacle for me because I didn't get to practice my poomsae, self-defense, etc, before doing my Pretest. I think I will be fine and am practicing today for tomorrow. I hope I do well tomorrow and wish everyone the very best. 

I don't have much to say. I'm focused on the pretest and I hope everyone does well.

Heyy everyone, hope everyone had a wonderful week! My day consisted of school, work, mentee session, BBC, mentor session, dinner, then requirements. Thankfully I didn't have any homework due tonight. A little nervous to run 4 miles tomorrow but it is just pre-testing so at least I don't have to beat a specific time! For tomorrow: bring water, jump rope, wear running clothes, bring uniform/belt, book and pen. Personally I would also bring a sweat towel and an extra change of clothes if you are riding the bus back, as well as some deodarant, and hair ties! I'm so excited to see everyone bright (well maybe dark) and early tomorrow morning! Get some rest! ~ Peyton

Today I woke up like normal and went to school like usual. I went on with my day until I got to chemistry. We had a test in that class as I mentioned in my previous journals. I thought it went pretty ok, I got my score back later in the day, I got a 106% (all questions answered correctly + extra credit questions.) I was super stoked about that. I finished my school day with a smile and when I got home, I started with the daily requirements. Got all those knocked out and then headed over to King Tiger for the weekly black belt class. I got home and relaxed for the evening because I will be at the track at 6:00 AM for my pre-test run. Good luck to everyone on the pre-test tomorrow. - Lucas

Today was a chill day.  Ran two miles today.  One before school and one after school.  The weather felt so good.

I didn't really do much today just bought some bricks to practice on and ran a mile besides that im just getting ready for tomorrow we will see how that goes I forgot my predictions so im probably gonna look at those again tomorrow and see if im right anyways peace

This morning I got to school early for art club! It was very exciting because we started painting the mural that I designed! After than I went if a field trip with my class to Hough High school. I learned a lot about what High school will be like. I’m a little nervous but overall really excited! After school was BBC, we did some great prep for the pretest so I’m feeling confident. I really took it easy today to prepare also. I’m not looking forward to waking up early tomorrow but I am super ready for the pretest! Good luck to everyone tomorrow and I’ll see you bright and early!

Took it pretty light today.  Still got some requirements and classes done, but chose not to do some others.  I'd like to have something in the tank tomorrow for all the things we need to do in a short amount of time.  Once all is said and done, I still have to race back to the Harrisburg dojang for classes.  I'm sure I will sleep like a log tomorrow night!  Kind of nervous about the Panthers game, but of course I am really hoping for a victory.  Good luck to all candidates tomorrow!  See you guys bright and early!

Today was a lot of activity I woke up early for a club before school and I had a substitute in the least favorite class which was great then after school I went to taekwondo and I'm going to bed early for the pretest tomorrow (good luck everyone)

Today was actually pretty good. School was chill, but I do have homework. I knocked out all my workouts and PR’d on my mile. Then I got some credits for my classes. Excited for the pretest tomorrow.

I had a good day looking forward to my pretest. Ending the day off with some shopping and hanging out with mom and a healthy meal for tomorrow.

Today was mediocre day at school. Because we didn't do anything special. I woke up at 6:20 am and started getting ready for school! I turned in my homework, and has some free time. I got some candy for behaving too in the classroom. Also, a krispy kreame donut made my day! Once I came home, I took my bath, and played some games too. After that I ate full plate of rice. Have a fun Friday everyone! :)

today at school we had fun Friday its wear we play games and on are i pads.

Today was a good day, school was pretty fun. After school I went to the gym where I got majority of my physical requirements for the day done except poomsaes, self defense, and kicks which I did when I got home.  

Yesterday was my first sparring class.  I will say sparring kicked my butt, but it was more fun than I expected.  Looking forward to today's rolls and falls class.  First week almost complete!

 I have a test at school, and it is about math we are learning decimals and fractions. And it is 25 questions and I hope I get 80-100 on the test because I am very good at decimals and fractions.And if i do my grades will go upp a lot.

Today was my first full day of school this week. Back home, I practiced my Taekwondo and did some exercises. I am still trying to learn how to jump rope but it is not clicking yet. Tonight I relaxed playing with my rabbit Astro.

Today was a good day ran two miles finally beat a level in my video game went to class and helped besides that nothing much happened today also I have a question so if you read this

Today was a pretty good day as I got a ton of stuff done. Of course I woke up and went to school, where we finally did something good in pe, cause for the first two quarters was health which were boring, and then we switched to pe and all they have been doing was talking and yapping a ton about rules and stuff in pe, but we actually got to play something today. After school I went home and ate this tuna wrap thing, and then went to Tkd where I got a mentee, and mentor session done. I also went to sparring for today in the first time in like forever, and also assisted class and did leadership.

Today was a full but productive day. I had to go in‑person for a midterm this morning, and once I got back home, I spent some time studying and getting a few things organized. After that, I cleaned up the space a bit, which honestly helped reset my focus. Later in the afternoon, I headed to TKD. I helped out for a while and then had my mentor session (Thanks Master Weeks :> ), which went really well. I also finished my requirements afterward, so that was a big relief and a solid way to end the day. Wishing everyone a strong rest of the cycle and good luck to those preparing for the upcoming Pre‑Test!  Thanks, Lalitha Sree Damarla⁷

I made a vending machine out of the boxes of cereal I ate in the morning. Nothing really happened today at school. For lunch, I had spaghetti. At recess, the score was 0-0 again. I took some shots, but I was unlucky. Thankfully, my legs felt 100% better today. When I got home, I got on code.org and coded for about 20 minutes. This is what I wrote: function loading() { var X = prompt("To start loading type Load"); setScreen("Loading"); if (X == "Load") { console.log("Load start"); } setTimeout(function() { setText("AssetLoad", "001"); setTimeout(function() { setText("AssetLoad", "002"); setTimeout(function() { setText("AssetLoad", "003"); setTimeout(function() { setText("AssetLoad", "004"); setTimeout(function() { setText("AssetLoad", "005"); }, randomNumber(1000, 3000)); }, randomNumber(1000, 3000)); }, randomNumber(1000, 3000)); }, randomNumber(1000, 3000)); }, randomNumber(1000, 3000));}loading(); What this does is it waits for 1000-3000 milliseconds, then sets a text label's text to a number. After that, I went to taekwondo. I wanted to lead...

OK, so uh uhm TODAY i went to school and ran 2 miles on the football field again then when I got home did my homework. I watched tv till it was time for sparring class. After sparring class I came home and did my requirements then ate dinner. THATS IT:D

Today was fun! I slept late so I couldn’t get my requirements in before school… oops! At school I got to miss some classes because I went on a field trip for my art class. We went to studio 345 and made a tote bag! When I got back I had a big social studies test! I am very happy with the end result :) after school I went to sparring class. After sparring I did some homework, biked my mile and finished my requirements. I am still sore in some places so I am going to really take it easy before the pretest. 

My dad was good I had school I just slept for 1 and 2nd block and at 4th block I had gym and I tried  to  hit a new bench pr of 180 but I fail so I’m going to stick with 175.

Today was good, it's almost the weekend. Im preparing for the pre-test and was able to get a class where I assisted and lead warm ups. Then was able to get a mentor session in after class.

I started my day at 5:30 when I got ready for school. I had to catch up on my math homework and also find potential teachers to get a recommendation letter from. Once I got home I finished up the remaining homework I had and hit a quick mile run. I see some improvement but I know I can be better. When I got back I studied some poomsaes and did my physical requirements. 

Today was extremely eventful. My day started at 4:30 in the morning. I got up this early because I planned to knock out my miles before school. I decided that I am only running in 4 mile increments a couple times a week, because that is the distance I will be required to run for the pre and final physical test. I ate a bit of fruit and then began running. I finished up at around 5:40. I got myself prepared to go to school and then off I went. School was nothing fun, just teachers doing their thing (assigning assignments). I got home, and got to work on my requirements. After a little while, I went to sparring class, it was a blast. After sparring I was left with a couple hours to study for my chemistry test tomorrow.

Sometimes it feels like there isn't enough time in the day to do everything that needs to be done. I think it's okay to feel that way because, sometimes, there isn't. The only thing to do is to push through and get it done anyways.

Today I went to the middle school basketball game.  Girls and boys lost but everyone played good.  Has me excited to play basketball again.

Had a great class with Grandmaster Evins and some other awesome folks this morning.  I also learned I have to run 4 miles Saturday morning before all of the other physical things.  Yeah!!(slight sarcasm).  I'll get it done.  My diet has been pretty clean since starting the cycle, so proud of myself there so far.  Looks like I'll start my cleanse next week.  Still need to do digital detox and nutrition challenge, but no rush yet for those.  Got some more requirements and classes knocked out today.

Today was pretty good. I woke up kind of late today, so I didn’t have much time to  do the requirements. School was alright, nothing really interesting happened. After school I finished the requirements and then went to sparring. When we got home I finnish up some homework and now I can relaxing and getting ready for bed. 

Today I had some time before school and did some of my daily requirements early, went to school, did some homework, went to taekwondo, and finished my requirements

Cognratulations to everyone who performed well on tests and who have been working super hard, getting up early, and staying on top of all your requirements, homework, work, and other daily duties! Time management is super hard but that is one of the best things you learn from being on this BBC, taking advantage of every minute you have! My day consisted of school, homework, requirements, and sparring class. Overall, not too bad. I hope everyone recovers from any sicknesses and has a great Friday tomorrow!! ~ Peyton

Today was a very eventful day. I got ready to go to school today and learned a lot. In science, I had a test that I performed well on, and I didn't do anything particularly noteworthy in my other classes. After school, I had my final day of basketball tryouts and had a lot of fun, but I didn't make the team, so I was a little bummed. I told myself that I should try harder next time or practice more so I could hopefully make the high school team. I just came back and finished the physical requirements I needed for the day. I am excited for my pretest on Saturday to see how I do and want to surprise myself.

I had got up at 4:35 today so I’m still very tired. I did some requirements before I left for the busstop, then when I got home I ran a mile and did the rest. Now I’m about to head out for class. Then before bed I’ll read some more. Thats all for today it wasn’t eventful.

I woke up this morning around 5:50 am and decided to knock out sodme excerise requirements. After that I went to school and we wrote a bunch of notes. After that I went running with my dad. I ran 2.5 miles, this is the longest I've ran all week! Later, I came home and finished up my homework. I had chicken and rice for dinner, and thats my day wrapped.

I hope every single one of you are doing good on cycle  school was good at recess we played soccer and tag we did math and reading.

Hi Everyone! Just a reminder for Saturday morning....wear your comfy running clothes and bring your uniform, book and pen to the pre test!  We will be all done by 9:15.

Today, I had a soar throat and did not go to school. I mostly slept until 8:00 AM so I would get better! Next, I decided to do some exercise like pushups, situps, and burpees so I could knock out my exercise in the afternoon. Have a wonderful day guys! :)

I am helping Master Burkart! Thursday morning workout was full of self-defense and poomsae work...excellent!  See some of you in sparring class tonight!

Today was my first sparring class and it was so much fun we got to sparr people.And i almost did a split witch was one of my goals.Then i fought two of my friends levi and addlin and when we fought i think i bet them.

Today I went to the dentist to have my teeth cleaned. I did three minutes of pushups and situps, and one minute of burpees when I came home from school. I attended sparring and black belt class and my legs are so sore tonight.

did you notice the nice weather today? felt like spring...Anyways, after school, I worked on my requirements and had a snack. My mom took me to Taekwondo and did some leadership. As soon as I got home, my dad made me a yummy smoothie and went to bed because i was so tired and sore. Goodnight, all!

Today was a very good day my favorite class sparing I got to see Antoine doing random spin kicks on people and then in blackbelt class we did keum Kang hope I spelled that right plus a mentee session preparing him for the next cycle. anyways that's all see you next time

Woke up Went to school got hone got my jump rope. Went to the hornets game and we lost by one point. 

Good sparring day. First i had school which is annoying then i came home ate  a good mean then i went to taekwondo for 3 classes and on sparring class i had fough the same person 2x in the row and this was a hard sparr then i had to sparr master opey which was extramly hard and at the last 20 seconds i was going to step off the mate and give up. But that isnt who I am so i contuine fighting him and i acctualy pushed him off the mat  I Won (acrodding to the rules he gave us in the biggeing this time).

Today was an alright day as I went to school and did the ordinary. I got some miles in this week and should be good on requirements. I practice basketball and finished tryouts. I also went to tkd to do class And get leaderships done. That’s mostly it for today as it wasn’t as much action packed. 

Today was a pretty good day. I started off with biking a mile and doing my requirements. At school I had a math test, but then I got picked up early for an orthodontist appointment. I will get my braces off in 6 weeks! Since we got back early I went for a 1.5 mile run before TKD. At TKD I got a mentor and mentee meeting and some credits in. I had to do quite a bit of homework when I got back. All in all today was a busy but good day.

Today’s not the best day I’ve had since I was super tired and sleepy but I managed to push through it and was able to finish school peacefully. During PA I was able to run for 2 miles and I got to do some soccer. After school I got home and no homework today so I was able to do some of my essays. Then I went to Tae kwon do and helped with class. I then had mentee session and came home. My dinner was kind of put together at the last minute so I just had some chicken and rice.

I'm getting the hang of this stuff this time around. I hope it works out for the best.

Today was pretty normal. Before school I biked a mile any did the requirements. We got picked up early for school, for an appointment. We also got boba! After that we went for a run, 1.5 miles. When we got back I finished ups some homework and relaxed.

Today was a hard day as a bocho. First, I attended 3 classes: sparing, bbc, and regular class! Master Evins told me to teach a handful of kids. Lastly, master Weeks gave me great advice!

Today was interestingly boring... I went to school and did NOTHING interesting then I came home and did my homework. Then like right after if finished my homework I had to go to King Tiger to mentee my mentee:). My mentee was a solid yellow belt that just got his belt. On Monday he came into class not knowing his poomsae and we worked on it DILIGENTLY for around 20mins Monday and today. And guess what......... he already knows the full poomsae😱. THEN I went home and did my requirements, and ate dinner. OH OH OH I forgot to say I ran 10 laps around my school football field so that knocks out about 2 miles:). Ok im done now:D

  Today I woke up late, going to school because of the new year. I have a load of homework to do, even though it's just the third day, and they're all due tomorrow, and I had to start at 9:00 because I had 3 Tae Kwon Do classes to do.

Today was a good day. I woke up for school still getting around since it is only the third day since schools started back. But thankfully I was able to get in a sparring class and a weekday BBC. Where I had already done most physical requirements for the day. I later came home and finished those requirements.

Today was a normal day, but I got excited at the end because I learned I'm going to my school's basketball game tomorrow with my friend.  Also, today was a bit of an easier day for King Tiger.

It's already Wednesday, so we are almost done with the week. Today at school was pretty chill, and I didn't have any homework to bring back home to complete. It was beautiful outside today, so I ran my mile outside while listening to music. When I returned, I finished all my physical requirements for the day and was ready for my Taekwondo class. Today I started my white belt challenge and had a lot of fun because of how people reacted to my new belt. I also had a mentor session with Instructor Sid, where I reviewed my self-defense. I just came back from Taekwondo and took a shower, and I am excited for tomorrow because it will be the last day of Basketball tryouts. 

Wow, what a beautiful warm day!  School drop off, straight to the dojang for physical requirements.  I was actually struggling this morning, and my motivation was way off.  After a bit, I realized I had forgotten to make my daily morning wake up beverage.  Got through what I needed to, but it definitely made a difference!  Hopefully won't be forgetting that again.  Got a BB class in and leaderships.  Looking forward to training with Grandmaster Evins tomorrow morning!

Today was a relatively simple day. I woke up and got ready for school. I had some english homework but I was able to finish it in class. I also had math homework but I couldn’t finish it in class so I did it at home. Once I got home I ate and finished my homework, then

Today was interesting. When I woke up, again I grabbed my breakfast, then left. Remember this post: Post. The pain in my legs felt worse today to the point that I was sort of limping. The school day went well for the most part, but recess took a bit of a turn for the worse. So, what happened was at recess, while playing soccer like usual, literally in the last five minutes, 2 people on the other team ran into my already hurting leg. One slid into me while the other jumped on me like you would in a dog pile.   So yeah, that hurt a lot, and I don't know what they were thinking but the other team members were just telling me to "Walk it off", like what? We had previously been banned from playing due to a number of "fights" among players so I guess they were thinking we might get...

Half way through the week, woohoo!! I had MAPs testing today which was super boring and used up all of my brain cells. I came home and had a good run today. I finished up my other requirements and have the rest of the night to myself! I just wanted to remind everyone that the way your practicing is important! Even when no one's watching make sure you have correct stances, good blocks, strong punches, ect. How you practice is how you will most likely perform so make sure you think about that next time you are just "running through" your poomsaes or self-defenses. Sparring tomorrow, BBC Friday, pre-test Saturday! Have a great rest of your week! ~ Peyton

Today was an ok day. I got school out of the way. We have a project for ELA and we have to work with partners that my teacher picks. We had MAPS testing today at my school, and we have to take math and ela in the same day. By the time I finished I was tired. After school I had science olympiad so I went there and kicked out some forensics and entomology.
