Journal #58 - 03/12/2026 Lalitha

Today was a nice day. School went by relatively quickly; we had a Social Studies test, and I got a 100 on it! I have a math test tomorrow though, so I had to study for that. After school, I went out for a jog for my requirements and finished those up. Then I helped my mom with some things around the house.

As soon as my dad came back from work, we headed to TKD. I helped out with the Senior Tigers; mostly red‑stripe activities, but we also did a bit of single stick. After that, I had a mentee session with Lolitta. We worked through her white‑belt to yellow‑belt material and reviewed her Chil‑Chang.

Then I had a mentor session with Master Weeks. He and Instructor Antoine went over my written test with me since I brought it in to check my answers. Truly grateful for that. When I got home, I studied a bit more, finished up my essay, ate dinner, and now I’m heading to bed.

( Note to Master Weeks & Instructor Antoine: Hello Sirs — I’m not sure if you’ll see this, but I just wanted to say I’m truly grateful for the encouragement, guidance, and tips you’ve given me today and throughout this entire cycle. Thank you for taking the time to check my written test, answer my questions, and help me improve not just my forms, but my confidence and understanding as well. I really appreciate everything you both do. ;> )

Best of luck to the upcoming physical/written test on Saturday!

Hope everyone’s doing well, and good luck with the rest of the cycle. ⟭⟬ Lalitha Sree Damarla⁷
