Candidate Journals

I’m so tired. Got a lot to do still before I can sleep. I don’t really know how to fit everything in now. I’m gonna cut this short so I’ll have more time tho.

I woke up this morning and went to school I then realized I had 3 tests back to back except for ELA I then got home and went to get a haircut and then went to sparring the sparring time felt a lot shorter and I liked how went did Korean dances. Once I got home from that I showered ate dinner and did the rest of my homework.

Today I helped assist in senior belt testing at the Do Jang. I also got a hundred on a test today and went to my first soccer practice here in Harrisburg.

This is technically my last journal, but I'll keep on doing it, just less frequently. Today was pretty standard, I enjoyed school today, which is something you have to learn how to do because if you don't enjoy school, you're gonna be miserable all the time. Being able to enjoy school for the learning aspect comes with more maturity, and realizing that it's all for your own benefit that you do well in your classes. Taekwondo was good today too, sparring was pretty crazy, and my legs were starting to hurt real bad, but not bad enough to sit out. We did lots of footwork training, and we did sparring around the world again. I need to wake up early again tomorrow, so goodnight!

Today I woke up a little late then ran and did my other requierments. At school we had a choice program intro and an assembly about school fundraising. once I got home I got ready and went to taekwondo. After that I went to soccer where I score a goal in a scrimage. Then I went home and ate dinner. after I finished my homework then wrote this journal.

Happy Thursday! Woke up for school...got through it. It was fine, only about 2 hours of homework tonight which isn't bad. I came home and got my requirements done before sparring class. Had a mentee session with Stella, just reviewing the color belt stuff. Sparring was pretty fun, did some drills we haven't exactly done before. Came home for a good dinner with the family and finishing up homework now. I honestly can't believe tomorrow is Friday! It comes so quick in a 4 day week! I hope everyone is doing well, keep up the great work! ~ Peyton

Today I went to school and we did a few fun things but our math teacher came late and wasnt there until 2nd block, Later in band we played a part of Hot Cross Buns and took me the whole class to figure it out. After school I came to my mums house and chilled a little while practicing my clarinet before taekwondo, at taekwondo I did sparring for 45 minutes or so, I then came home, practiced on my clarinet a little more before I took a shower. I am now doing all require ments and about to text a few. I hope everyone had an amazing day!

Today I woke up. Then went to school. Then went home and rested. Then after I did my chores for the house. Then right now i might sleep early.

Couldn’t go to bbc because I had two tests coming up sadly but Thursday should be a day where I can go so I’ll make sure I’ll be there.

Worked out this morning and then went for a run on the Greenway. Perfect weather this morning for it. Happy with it, just one big coughing fit midway through. Good classes today, met with my mentee to go over the test. I hope everyone is finding their answers or asking for help. Don't wait until the last minute to.study. Hope tomorrow continues this pretty weather. Have a terrific Thursday!

hi guys, had bbc today. it was pretty fun. I got a mentor session in as well. I have a physics test tomorrow and just finished all my work. i feel like throwing up and this feeling hasn't gone away in a week ugh goodnight!

Today I woke up on time got everything done and went to school. School was normal but I did very well in P.E. After I got home I helped my sister with her studies. Then I went to swimming class after i went to taekwondo and got a leadership, and weekday class credit. Then I went help out and shape clay at my dads friends house. Once that was over i came home did my homework and did this journal.

​Today was a good day. Woke up and went to 9Round—got in a really good workout today. I was pretty hungry afterward, so I grabbed lunch right when I got to work. After lunch, I worked on my essay for a bit before getting the kiddos. ​I helped in classes this afternoon and took videos of our after-school kids to send to their parents so they could see them in action. It went well, and I hope the parents appreciate seeing their progress. ​I took the 5:15 class and focused on more self-defense. After class, I went through the rest of the test with my mentor to make sure my answers were correct for studying going forward. ​Once I got home, I had to grab a quick dinner since I was starving. Watched the NFL kickoff game before heading to bed. Long day tomorrow. Hope everyone has a good day!

I was able to jog a little today with no knee pain. Also did 3 minutes of JR and a ton of kicks, so feeling pretty good about my knee recovery. Time to start planning for next weeks trip to Aruba.  Been doing so many pushups and pullups, my shoulders are getting a little achy. May need to back it off for a few days.

Today I woke up and ate breakfast. Then went to school. Then went to practice after school. Then went to TKD for my cycle. Then went home and ate dinner. 

Today was simple. Went to school not much happened. Im behind on some work. I caught up and tomorrow I have a quiz. I have to prepare. Overall a 7/10 day.  

Today I had a Spam class that I helped with and a test in Spanish, which I got 100 on that’s all I did today

Today was a pretty normal day, but I got a lot of AP Seminar homework, so that was fun. So I worked on that during study hall instead of going to a meeting, which was kinda disappointing because I like going to those meetings. When I got home, I worked on some work and had to get ready for TKD. At TKD, I helped with the shin kickers class, which is definitely my favorite class to help with, and I got to take sparring class. After class, I came home, finished my homework, and went on a 2-mile walk before finishing my requirements. So, as you can see, this is my journal #50, which is really sad because I enjoyed doing this, but I hope everyone has had an amazing cycle so far and does amazing through the rest of it. So, for the last time, I hope everyone had an amazing...

Today I went to schools, nothing fun or new. So after school there was quiz bow try outs so I stayed for that. I did not get many questions right, which was a little frustrating. Then I went home and went to soccer practice, which unfortunately meant that I could not go to Tae Kwon Do class, but it was fine since I already had my 10 weekday BBCs. Then it was my team mates birthday so we celebrated. Then I went home and ran and played with my friends soccer. Then I went home. 

I woke up this morning and got a protein shake then went to school. I then got a test in social studies and got through the rest of my classes. I came home and went to Harrisburg to get a black belt credit then I got home finished my homework and went to sleep.

Hey everyone, today was good, pretty normal, ate breakfast then went to school, then after school I went to work. I got a lot of work done there and made A LOT of progress on my creative form, almost done with it. My shift was good, then I went home and it was 8:00 PM and I still had a little homework, so we ate dinner, I finished my homework, and now I must go. I wish you all farewell, good night.

Woke up and drove to school. Started MAPs testing and did that for about 3 hours. Then the rest of the school day was normal. Came home to homework and requirements. Overall, a pretty good day, definitely hoping to get some good rest tonight. I hope everyone is having a great week! ~ Peyton

Today I woke up in the morning early and headed to school. On the way I studied a bit for my science test. I was pretty nervous but I ended up getting a 100 on the test which I was overjoyed with. After school I came home and ate a snack. After my friend and I finished up some schoolwork we had and just talked. After that I did some requirements and ate dinner. I ate a light dinner and then I chilled a bit. Then I went to sleep.

Today was pretty boring again, my most exciting class was AP Bio, and we put water on pennies. Even though it was boring, I still got my stuff done on time. At tkd today, I was able to finally work on my creative form for real, instead of just going over it in my head. Me and Jack have some sick stuff planned, but I'll keep the element of surprise. I got home and had dinner, and I'm now going to bed, so goodnight!

I am so tired today, probably from a lack of sleep. School was good today, my school days are all starting to blend together because it seems like it is the same thing every day. After school, I came home and worked on my requirements. Later in the evening, I went to King Tiger for leadership and to practice kicks. I find it a lot easier to work on kicks with a mat rather than at home. When I cam home from King Tiger, I ate dinner and I am planning to go to bead really soon.

Today we were put on the spot to do poomsaes in front of the entire class. at first i was stressing because i didnt know it. then i thought about it and realized i did know it. so maybe you should overthink sometimes.

Today was a pretty normal day. I was kinda tired though. In career exploration today we had to blow up soccer balls for coach, so that was kinda fun. At pickup, we were looking for my dads truck but my grandpa came to pick us up so that was surprising. We went to my great grandparents for a little while so I worked on my requirements and waited for my mom to pick us up. Now we are home. Im about to shower & get ready for bed. 

Mr. Antoine Love (Community Service Co-Chair, Beta Nu Lambda Chapter, Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc.) wanted me to pass this message along to the King Tiger Volunteers who helped out with the Stolen Lunches program at the McCrory YMCA on September 5th: "Daemon, share with all the young volunteers that were engaged on Saturday.  They contributed to serve and were extremely appreciated.  While we gather official letters of gratitude for Give Blessing Bags Day, I had to personally reach out to those few people that directly made a huge impact in my line of sight and by my side.The day was full, the energy was high, and it was hot!  It was so much more than we expected, but we ultimately accomplished our goal-showing up and pouring into the community.  Though there were some structural challenges, thank you for WANTING to be a part of this celebration and lending a hand...

Today I went to school early and talked to my friends at breakfast before class started. At 1st block, I made a new friend and talked to one of my friends I made earlier a little more. After that, I went to 2nd block and I finished all of my work the earliest so I just played games on my computer and talked to people. After the bell rang I asked this girl I’ve been talking to for her number and she gave it to me. After 2nd block I went to 3rd.block which is pretty boring except the people in it. I finished my work before Lunch and then at lunch I just walked around by myself making friends.After 3rd block I was trying to finish up work in English.

Today was pretty good but I am so stressed for tomorrow because I have a mouthpiece test for band and got to practice barely. Anhways I came home and chilled out after getting Subway for dinner, I then went to taekwondo and did the lapale grab #4 of hopkedo. I then came home, took a shower, and played on my phone some. I hope everyone had an amazing day!

hi guys. currently doing my physics homework rn. i just finished calc and im super tired. im excited to go to taekwondo tmw i was sad having a break from labor day.

Today went well overall, but I was exhausted when I woke up after sleeping terribly last night. It was close to 3:00 AM before I finally fell asleep—I happened to check the clock right before drifting off. ​I headed to 9Round for a workout, but it felt rough, and my tracked numbers definitely reflected it. It's so weird how my soreness has returned lately. I wasn't expecting it to come back like this, but some days are definitely worse than others. After that, I fueled up all the vehicles before picking up the kiddos. ​As soon as I got back to King Tiger, I jumped right into helping with classes. I really enjoy doing it, and it's great preparation for the future. I took the 5:15 PM class and got to work on all the black belt self-defenses, which is what I struggle with the most. Right afterward, I stayed to...

Pretty normal day. had school then marching band practice and I came later than usual home so I had to rush to get ready for tkd. We worked on breakdown in Marching band today. In Tkd I got leadership and mentor session. Then I came home and ate dinner and chilled. nothing much today. that's it goodnight!

8 Today I was hard to go to school because I was still sick. I felt dread l... it was so hard to go to school. I don't know why im getting sick so fast and in the beginning of the year. I left school early because my sickness was getting worse and worse. After doing my tkd requirements l, I took a long 5 ish hour nap. I felt less sick so I did my homework and tried to catch up with school work.

Pretty boring day at school today. After school, I worked on a few requirements, then went to black belt class, then home to finish requirements. Now im laying down with my dog, playing a video game before bed. Good night.

I'm going to keep this short because I have to go to bed but today I was pretty busy in school. I had a Spanish test and I am still behind on some work for my Earth and Enviornmental class. It's online and self paced, but I can't move on at certain parts because I have to wait for the teacher to grade certain assignments. It's very frustrating. Anyways I got all my requirements done, and just did homework the rest of the day. 

Today I went to school. It was fun there, nothing much. Then I came back home, to find an electric scooter there! I was very happy, because I had been anticipating it. Then I had a class. Then after that, I had swimming class. Then I came back home to a great weather, so I called my friend and we went running. This time uphill, and hadn't I, the uphill would be unbearable for until I try. Then I played soccer a bit. Then I tried teaching my non - Tae Kwon Do friends some things, and they tried it funnily enough. Then I went home and had dinner.

Long day but a good one. Started with a workout at 9Round and then training with Grandmaster Evins and company. Completed an essay and then completes something that I have been working on at KT. Mentee session and good classes today. And wrapped my evening up in one of the best ways, laughing with Baby Olive. Back at it all tomorrow. Have a wonderful Wednesday!

Today I had a good day but I am definitely tired. School was pretty good today, I was not overly busy so that contributes to having good day. After school I went to King Tiger and was able to get some leadership and a mentee session. I'm now done with mentee sessions but my mentee's are not done with mentor sessions so we will continue to meet. On my previous cycle in January cycle, I used to wake up early and run before school started and I don't know how I managed to do that. I guess now I find it easier to run in the evenings; speaking of which, the weather was really nice out tonight when compared to what it has been for running. I'm going to bed now so I can be well rested and ready to have another good day tomorrow. I hope everyone does the same!

Today I just had a kind of chill day in school and taekwondo and now after I’ve done all my stuff I’m getting to bed

Honestly not doing the best. I’m overworking myself but I really don’t know how not to. With my schedule and all, covering everything is cutting into sleep. Which isn’t good.  And my ankle still isn’t healed, but I’m getting to the point where I can’t not practice everything. Especially kicks. If I don’t practice, I won’t be ready to test. If I don’t heal, I won’t be healed for the test. I’m wrestling with myself cause I really don’t know what would be best. Normally I would result to pushing myself harder, but that won’t help me here. 

today I helped assist junior tiger class, helped lead warmups, got a mentee session done, and also got a mentor session done, getting me four credits in total.

Today I woke up around 6:30 in the morning and got ready. I just chilled until school started and went to school. I didn't do much in school but I saw that I had a science test tomorrow. Once I got home I ate some chips and headed over to King Tiger and attended the family class. I officially started the white belt challenge so after class. I got home and went over my science notes for an hour. After that I ate dinner and went back in my room to study more. I hopped on a call with my friend and we quizzed each other. After we just talked and I managed to finish up my essay for the Community Service.

Hello everyone, today was a good day for me, I think I did pretty good on my APWH test today, I had to write an essay in under 25 minutes comparing Christianity and Buddhism, it was actually easier than I thought. Then after school, I waited at car line with my friend and we made AI make us things, it was really funny. After school, I had all my work done, so I watched my show, it is getting really good. It was bright outside when I started watching, then I lost track of time and it was dark, so keep an eye on the clock. Then I ate dinner, now I'm going to bed, see you all later.

    Today was a sad day, One of my good friends, Keaton, randomly befriended me for no reason. It is going to be difficu;t without him but I have other good friends. As my mom said, "It was his loss, not yours." I am excited for the Apple event tomorrow though, goodnight.

Journaling the past weekend I had. Saturday had to wake up bright and early to go to a event to give out food and school supplies For about three or four hours after that I spent an hour learning all my pomsae and self-defense to make sure they were all perfect and correct. Sunday I took a little break for that day. All I did was my daily runs and exercise. Monday is where I have the whole day off so I was filling out My Journal so it look up-to-date for everything then this Tuesday I want to class and help out.

Today was a normal day of school. But I did have my interest meeting for Beta, which turned out to be amazing. Other than that, it was boring. When I got home, I went on a mile walk because I didn't have much time before I had to go to TKD. Today was black belt class, so we went over a lot of self- and poom sae's. I did get a mentor and a mentee session today. When I got home from that, I finished up my requirements and did some homework, and now I'm about to go to bed. I hope everyone had an amazing day. Goodnight!

Today was kind of boring at school. I didn't get much work to do, but that's fine. Taekwondo on the other hand, was a lot more interesting for me. I was able to get a free standing handstand push-up, I can consistently get a one hand cartwheel, and I almost got a 540 kick. I know I don't need to do it, but it looks super fun to do. I worked on some Anyo Isa, Bolo, and double stick form. I was able to get about 17 pull-ups, so I need to amp it up a little more with my pull-ups if I want to do better than my pre-test. I'm really tired, so I'm going to bed, goodnight!

The long weekend definitely helped me catch up on sleep, homework, requirements, and relaxtion time. Yesterday was good, nothing special. Today I woke up ready for school, my teachers thankfully went easy on us today since we have MAPs testing tomorrow. I didn't have much homework, so I came home and had a peaceful evening with my family. I'm so excited that tomorrow we will already be halfway through the week! I hope everyone is doing well, recovering from injuries and sicknesses, keep pushing through! ~ Peyton

Today I woke up a little late but had enough time to get my physical requierments. At school i finished my math unit test. Once I got home I layed down then came to taekwondo where I helped in class. Afterwards I went outside to play with my friends and didn't come home till 8:10. Once home I ate dinner then wrote this journal.

Today was again a normal day. I helped out for class assistance. I also found out i can sit in the splits for a while.

Today I woke up and ate breakfast.Then went to school. Then got ready for my soccer game. Then won the game 9-0 which was a great game for our team. Then went home and ate and about to go to sleep. Thats my day.

I woke up today from a nice long weekend. I got some cereal and  got to school I then did my classes and got home to do my leader ship and class assists. After that I ate dinner did my homework and chilled out for a bit.

Today I woke up at 4 and ran my miles as usual before school. After my shower, I spent a lot of time washing my face and preparing for school. School was enjoyable and really productive today but also boring during the day, it’s weird. Today we got a lot of homework we have to finish by Friday and I don’t think that’s even possible 🫩. After school I started working on it as much I could because truth be told I didn’t get a lot done in class. I came to Tae Kwon Do and helped with 2 classes and took one where we did every color belt self defense. I just came home and I’m tired but I still gotta study though.

Woke up ate breakfast and went to school. School was horrible. There is a teacher not even my teacher who seems out to get me this year. She’s always yelling at me. She is so cranky. I went to King Tiger after school and did a mentee session and helped with a class. After that I worked on my requirements at King Tiger and at home. Then I did homework. I am tired. 

hello everyone, today was the last day of the long weekend and i’m really not looking forward to going back to school tommorrow. i finally went to the theater and watched spiderman: brand new day today and it was pretty good. in my opinion marvel can never really go wrong they could release the worst movie ever and i’d still eat it up. after that i went to my friends house to plan stuff for our club this year. after that we both went to the gym together and i did some requirements. i came home and did my homework and lowkey crashed out because my solid modeling teacher made our homework due at 11 instead of midnight like usual so i submitted it late but hopefully he will accept it.

hello, im very tired, very stressed, very nauseous, and im gonna lose it. if one more person asks me about my plans for college and how everything is going im going to start crashing out. senior year is genuinely junior year x2 until u get admitted. i have tooooooo much going on and im irritated. i think im going mentally insane. goodnight

Today we came back from Myrtle Beach. It was a really chill trip didn't really do much. Slept in and started packing and stuff to leave. We had a plan to go to an Italian restaurant that said it was open but when we got there it was closed cuz of Labor Day prob. But we ended up getting some mediterranean food that was still pretty good. After that it was a looongg drive home and only emphasizing the long because it was so uncomfortable like I had no space in the car cuz there was 5 of us and it was just stuffed. When we got home we went to Sam's Club to get some groceries for my sisters college apartment and some stuff for the house. Bought this new snack ive been wanting to try out too. Had dinner , did some homework and practiced piano. Not really any...

Happy Labor Day! I'm thankful for Labor Day since most everybody did not have to go to school or work. I feel like on school days, my evenings are almost nonexistent because of all the schoolwork and training. I had plenty of time to do all of my requirements today and I also worked on my creative form. Another bonus to having a long weekend is having a short week so I am looking forward to that as well. I hope everybody had a great Labor Day.

Started the day with a 9Round workout, some of which I definitely had to take breathing breaks but still pretty happy with. Then met Joel for some grocery shopping during which Master Marcus called me and asked where I was. He was at my house, turns out that my home is a perfect halfway point for the 10k he ran today😂 Bummer to miss the visit and see Olive out getting her exercise. Beautiful day for it. I went back out later after lunch and got some miles in myself. The bronchitis seems better but I am still having a good bit of coughing. Still, I felt good afterwards and came home to get some more work done. Hope you all had a great weekend!

I woke up and thought I had school but then I realized that it was 9:00 and I realized the day was off. I then chilled out and watched some stuff for an hour ate breakfast and did my workouts. I then ate lunch and did my homework until dinner then  went to the pool and later fell asleep.

I woke up and forgot that it was a holiday, so I woke up my parents thinking they overslept and were late for work. So, after I woke everyone up, I laid back down and tried to go back to sleep, but couldn't. After my failed attempt to sleep, I got on the pc and played some video games. After that, it was a pretty normal day. Did my requirements, played more video games, hung out with my parents. Just got out of the shower, now I'm going to bed. Good night.

Today I woke up late and ran 2 miles. Then I went home and played with my sister. After we went shopping as a family and got new clothes. Then I went out side to play with my friends. Once I came home I ate dinner and wrote this journal.

Today  I woke up and ate breakfast. Then went to pack up before leaving Tennessee. Then went to the arcade. Then ate lunch. Then went home and relaxed a little. Then went to practice my forms.

Today I did makeup work for my black belt cycle, and it was defineitly  a difficult experience. I had to spend so much time on the physical requirements, that I couldn't even start on the poemsaes and self defense.

Today I woke up at around 8:30 in the morning. I finally felt relief from my fever from yesterday, guess the medicine worked. My mom told me to rest the whole day since I still had a little bit of a fever so I did. In the morning I had a cookie for breakfast and started texting with my friends since I got my first apple watch 2 days ago. I got all my friends numbers which was pretty fun to finally be able to talk. For lunch I had some noodles which I haven't had in a while. After I ate dinner pretty early before going to my robotics class which was 2 hours long, our first tournament is going to be in a month so I have to prepare for that. After coming back home from class I called my friend and we played together before going to sleep....

Today I woke up and just chilled with my parents. Then I went to Frankie's with my friends. We did bowling, then we played laser tag. It was really fun. Then we went out and ate pizza. It also was really good. Then I went to my friends house and we played a video game together, which was really fun cause we just pushed each other. Then I went home. Then I mentored my friend.

Hello everyone, today was a good day for me because I had a nice and relaxing time. First I woke up and went for a 2 mile walk, that was nice. Then after that I relaxed for a while at home, I finished my exercises and ate some lunch. Today wasn't very active, but it was a good labor day. I hope you all had great days as well, see you later.

7 Today was so hard. My throat felt like it was burning. I g ot sick again. My cousin left my home today. I was sad. My tkd requirments while sick were the worst part of the entire thing. Overall it was a 2/10 day  

I went on a three mile walk today down a road that was outside of my neighborhood, and I haven't been down it before, so I wanted to see where it went. Turns out it just led into another neighborhood. I finished my exercises and was able to finish season three of Jujutsu Kaisen, and it was really good. I also finished watching Loki last night, and it was also super good. I helped replace my grandmas air filters at her house, and that was a quick trip, and I was glad to see her again. I have to go to bed earlier tonight because I have to wake up early for seminary, so goodnight!

Today was a pretty normal day. I woke up and went for a walk, but I need to start running again because I really wanna improve my time on the exam. When I got home, I did my requirements, and then I had to work on my presentation for my Beta interest meeting tomorrow. Other than that, I just watched a show and played a game with my brother. I hope everyone had an amazing day. Goodnight!

​Today was a solid day overall. I kicked things off with a great workout at 9Round, then headed home to take care of a few task around the house. I also finished writing my essay for the community service event. Other than that, it was a pretty low-key, relaxing day. The weather outside was incredible—hopefully, it stays like this for the rest of the week!

I was able to enjoy Labor Day in Weddington at my old Karate instructor's house.  He invited my wife and I over for a cookout, so we went down there.  Of course, we had to get some training in before we ate, so we went upstairs to the small dojo he had built when he had his house built in 2015.  We concentrated strictly on the basics (kicks, blocks and punches).  I don't see him as much as I used to, but we still like to keep in touch.   

Today I woke up and went to do some yoga at the gym which was okay but she wasnt the same teacher I know and are friends with. Later we went to starbucks and got some food and drinks, I then went home and took a nap for a few hours. I then went to clean the car out and went to meet up with a friend for a few hours, we went swimming, we ate, and we met with her best friend. I then came home and they chilled at my place a little before leaving, I just did half of an essay and now chilling. I hope everyone had a wonderful day!

    Today was nice. I woke up and complete most of my exercise. My grandma came over and we ate a nice lunch after that. I did 2 miles went to the pool and did another 2 miles after that. That brings us here. I'm all caught up. Good night.

Woke up and walked a mile with my Dad. Then we went to breakfast and to work since I had no school. I worked on requirements throughout the day. He taught me how to change a tire for my new skill. Back to school tomorrow yuck.

I forgot to journal yesterday i think but not much happened yesterday. I spent the whole day catching up on homework, same with today. I thought I would get more time to practice taekwondo, but I only had the regular amount of time. Anyway I still have more homework, but if I finish it hopefully I can play volleyball later.

​Today was a good day. I woke up and watched the church service online. It wasn’t my favorite sermon, but it was still good—I like to change it up from time to time. Right after that, I knocked out a few of my black belt requirements.​I squeezed in a bit of gaming before diving into chores around the house. I set up our new internet and migrated all the devices over. It’s an easy process, just time-consuming. I also did some deep cleaning on the carpets, which was long overdue—they honestly needed it a year ago! Clean carpets make such a huge difference in both the smell and the overall feel of the house; I'm super satisfied with how they turned out.​Tonight, Lauren, myself, Christian, and Momma went out to dinner and then hit up Spare Time for an overall amazing evening.​Now, I just need to finish a few more requirements...

I am at myrtle beach right now for the Labor Day weekend. I was still able to get a couple of requirements in though so that's good. my school weeks with marching band are already stressful enough, I don't need extra requirements worrying me even more. Also need all the time I can get to go to class and get those mentor and mentee sessions. Anyways today I woke up around 8:30 ish and did a couple of requirements. We are staying in this small but cute air bnb. Yesterday right after the community service, We starting driving straight from there after my parents picked me up. We are leaving tomorrow but today was pretty chill overall. After I had breakfast I was chilling a little and then me and my sister changed and went to the beach. It was fun because the water was like perfect and the waves weren't...

today i woke up early and do my requirements because i had to go meet my friends for lunch since it was one of my friend’s birthday today. we went to brixx and it was pretty good. after i came home and finished my community service essay heic was my last essay i had to get done.

The nerves are very much here lol. I’m trying my best not to test worry because that’s dumb to do, but still. Three weeks of practice is probably more than it feels like. I’m gonna try to catch up on some things tomorrow, since I have the whole day. Requirements and just practice. And all academic stuff done by the weekend. Arggg. If I stress now I will stress for three more weeks. That’s a lot. I gotta not do that. 

Today I had to catch up on my missing cycle requirements for week 6. I did all the physical requirements except for rolls and falls, and I finished the kicking category, which leaves self defense and poemsaes for tommorow.

Today, I woke up and was almost late for a church meeting that I had at 9:30. Today was the most I've slept in for a long time, even throughout summer, I woke up before 8:00 consistently, but today, I woke up at 9:10. I received news this morning, that the man I've been visiting from my church passed away today. It was very saddening, even though we knew it would happen soon, but even though he is no longer with us, he just made Heaven even brighter than it was before. I am so grateful for his example that he set for me and all of the men that he influence. If you pray, please ask for blessings on his wife, it would really help to comfort her. I hope that all of you can feel joy in your lives, and as you grow you can continue to feel joy,...

Today was quite boring. First I woke up early to do something, but I did not do much. I just chilled. Then I ate breakfast, then took a nap. Then we went out for shopping, but I slept in the car too. Then we went and had dinner, then came back home very tired and sleepy.

Me & my grandpa made fudge today. It was really good. After that, we went to my great grandparents house and had a little family cookout & got to swim for a while. After the cookout, we went back to my grandpa's house and I got my requirements done. Then my parents came and picked me up to go back home. Now im at my house getting ready for bed. Just won a game of fortnite so that was good timing. Good night.

6 Today was an ok day. I forgot to do my Journaling yesterday so... Today I had lots of fun because I wne to my cousins house and I did my tkd requirements with them. Other than thag we just played video games and played basketball. We had so much fun we didn't want to leave so we convinced our parents for them to come to our house and have a sleepover l. Over a 9/10 day  

Today a pretty normal Sunday for me. I woke up and went for a walk, then went to church. When I came home from church, I did my requirements and decided to take a rest day. So, for the rest of the day, I played games with my friends and watched a show. Overall, a pretty boring day. I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend and has a safe Labor Day. Goodnight!

Happy Sunday! Woke up for run this morning but for some reason just wasn't feeling it so I ran a little slow. Met Ms. Jen at 9a.m. and got lots of work on weapons done before poomsae class. Lots of kicking drills that were very hard but super helpful and ended with work on Sam, Sa, and Oh Chang. Afterwards, I stayed for a mentor session with Master Natasya. We reviewed White-Blue belt self-defenses in depth and she taught me some really great ways to explain them to kids. I came home and got to work on my requirements, trying to get ahead as much as I can before the week starts. One of my mom's previous students came over with his wife and had dinner with us. They ended up staying until just after 10p.m. and I know my parents really enjoyed that. I'm off to bed now! Have a...

Hey everyone, its pretty late so this is gonna be a quick journal. Today was good, slept in, got ready for the day, and went to church. Then after church I didn't really do anything at home since this was my only rest day of the entire week and I wanted to enjoy it, I watched a movie as well. I hope you all had a great day as well, see you all later.

Today was a pretty good day. I woke up and did my requirements as a usually do on Sundays. I was planning on going on a run this evening but for some reason my knee was really hurting me. I don't recall anything that would have stressed it out so hopefully it will be better tomorrow. My parents arrived home from a wedding this afternoon so it was nice to see them again. We went out to Waffle House for dinner which hits the spot 100% of the time. The rest of the evening I tried to let my knee recover as much as possible so I can hopefully go on a run tomorrow.

Today was a long day I woke up did my morning routine and ran an extra mile. After that I helped clean up around the house. Then I went to help set up my friends baby brother. Then I attended the party and stayed there until 10:00.Finally I got comfertable and wrote this journal.

Today I woke up pretty late around 9 in the morning. Yesterday I went to my friends birthday party and then to his house after and we played so much my legs gave out. So today I couldn't really do anything, also my allergies were acting up so I didn't feel good at all not allowing me to do my requirements for the day. From 3 to 9 my family and I went to a temple but I pretty much rested the whole time, took lots of medicine and I'm feeling better. Hopefully I'll be fully recovered tomorrow. Good Night!

Today was a normal day. Since there was a festival at church, i was there for 5 HOURS. But my friends were there too so it wasnt boring. did my requirements when i got back home. then i went to dance class. also its like really really hot.

Today I woke up really late and got to make a mini pancake cearl thing I saw online weeks ago during my bread diet. It was so good but soon after I had to leave for the gym and got 4 miles today by acciedent, I then did my other workouts and finished them pretty fast and came home to start putting up halloween decorations by dressing up the skeletons which was so fun. I then started to finish an essay before working on more halloween decorations, So I worked on them so more. Soon after I chilled for a bit then finished the essays and now just chilling. I hope everyone had a happy day!

Had a good practice this afternoon, then a good workout at the Harrisburg YMCA.  I also wanted to give a big thank-you to Senior Instructor Jahkye Watson for helping me make a video for Stick #1 this past week.  It's a big help for me when I can watch an instructional video and I've been using it a lot today.  

Woke up ate breakfast and went to church. Church was good. After church I went home and ate lunch and did requirements. I got 2 essays done today. Then I spent the rest of the day chillin. 

I woke up to realize its basically a saturday because its a three day weekend. I then had some oatmeal for breakfast and started working some more on my homework. Today I am going to see coyote vs acme after i finish the rest of my work and Im really exited that there is an extra day to the weekend.

Knee actually seems to be recovering. I can now stand and walk pain free. Tried to run on Friday and knee would not allow it. Going to need more time without running. Will hit eliptical this morning. Worked on front stance to back leg side kick transition in Chong Kwon. Having alot of difficulty with this.

today we had the community service project which was pretty cool to see so many people there to help out member of our community. after that i went to my friend bday party and came home and did some homework.
