Candidate Journals

Schools start tomorrow  so i'll have to work out in the evening now, won't change anything really but I need some catching up to do.

Today was my last day working with summer camp kids. I went to Urban air and it was fun. A little crazy but still fun. I got to play video games for the last time for a long time and then eat steak for dinner. Tomorrow is my first day of highschool and I think it'll be good. We can do this! 

Today I went to go jog I'm the morning even though I couldn't feel my legs. Then I went inside and took a 1 hour power nap. Then after that I went to tkd and took 2 classes. Then I got home and played outside with my friends

I went to camp and went to Urban air I did my exercise then went to band finished my exercise called my friend. Good night.

First day on the road, work up early and got 2 miles in at the hotel gym. I realize i really prefer running outside! I also had time to finish my exercise requirements. Spent the day walking around a factory and got back around 5:30. I had time to get my poomsae, kicks and self defense down into my hotel room, before dinner.  it was fun to FaceTime with Abigail so she could help me,  Overall today went much better than I expected! Hopefully I can do it again tomorrow. 

Today I woke up and just felt off. Something didn't feel right mentally. I went to PT and it still didn't fix the problem. I then came home and took some time to decompress and talk about the issue. It didn't fix it at first, but after doing some physical requirements I found myself in a much better mental state. I then ate and took a nap, which also improved my mood. I finished my day with a broken up 5k workout with the club running team I workout with once a week. Running well and pushing myself to new limits gave me much needed confidence. I then came home, did some requirements, and now I am here. 

Hi King Tiger Family. A pretty good day. Normal work day. Left work and came home to head to run with Nate. Got a good run in and did some requirements. Then came home. My wife cooked us a fantastic dinner. So yummy. Then onto a few more requirements. Finished some stuff and now writing this. Looking forward to tomorrow. Weeks are moving by. Still have a bunch to do. Take care.

In Tuesdays class, I helped out during class assistance, helped some people with koryo poomsae, did a mentee and mentor session for hapkido defense 1-5. When I got home I continued practicing 4 and 5 hapkido, I also did my Bocho and 1rst Dan self-defense, exercised and felt good for the day.

Today I woke up early to do my run in the morning which was a good run. After that I went to the Chiropractor to get adjusted but as we got there they were closed so we just went home. I just did all my requirements at home, before my friend came to pick me up. We went to Emerald pointe wet and wild, in Greensboro. It was really fun, and it was the first time I had ever been to a water park so it was cool to try all the different slides. We had a wonderful time and would for sure go there again.

Today I woke up and had pizza for breakfast.  Then I did my requirements and practiced my viola.  Then I went to king tiger.  I didn’t feel good so I only stayed for 1 class.  I then got ice cream.  I then went home and ate spaghetti.  I felt better after I ate.  

I hope everyone had a terrific Tuesday and it’s excited for a wonderful for Wednesday! Today I Woke up and eat breakfast. Later hunting the day I got ready to go to my open house for school! I got there really early so I was done before a lot of people got there!!! When I got home, I ate dinner quickly and got dressed to go to taekwondo! I Help at the 6 o’clock took the 6:45 and then weapons class! When I got home, I ate a tiny snack and then got ready for bed! I hope today was a terrific Tuesday!!! Good night!! P.S. Today is National root beer float day!!! ~Magnolia~

Today was a productive day. I worked on my essays. First, I worked on the technology challenge, then my nutrition challenge, and then the mission statement. I’m working on my fourth essay about the history. I found a book at the library that has been helpful. There is a lot of information. I have written some sentences now I have type and get it organized. I am trying to get as much completed as I can before schools starts back. I have open house tomorrow and curious to meet my teachers.

Today I woke up and ate breakfast. Then I did requirements and push-ups are getting easier for me! Sit ups squat thrusts and planks are getting super easier.see you tomorrow    

I'm getting used to getting my requirements in between my morning Amazon shift and my regular job. It's becoming like clockwork. I'm definitely noticing an improvement in my push-ups and burpees, pull-ups, not so much. I got in a mentoring and mentee-ing session in tonight in addition to a class. Got home and vacuumed and mopped my whole house, and worked in the garden some. All this rain has wreaked some havoc on my tomato plants, so I had to pull off some dead leaves.

Today I woke up and ate then did all m require. Planks are hard for me but I got through it. All the others are getting better. That is all for today🥋

Good evening, everyone! Yesterday was a nice day. I went to TKD later in the afternoon, helped out with summer camp for a bit, and then helped with the classes like normal. I got a mentee session in and also took 2nd higher class. By that class, I was exhausted and not as focused as normal. I had a lot of fun in that class since we worked on hapkidos and techniques. Today, I went to Tae Kwon Do and helped out with summer camp and classes. I got a mentor and mentee session today, which was great. Have a wonderful day!

So today the craziest thing happened (not to crazy)! So when this morning i went to harrisburg park to run my 2 miles. there was the lightest rain ever. not to crazy right? so after that i kept running almost done with 2 miles until it started raining super hard. Man it felt so good on the hot environment. :)

Today I woke up early and played video games as usual, then I went to do my requirements. After that me and my dad went to drop off Erin at cheer, then we went to my dad’s work after that I went to soccer practice.

Today i did my essays. i forgot yesterdays journal. i'm very sad but i don't think it'll be that bad. I did a essay today and yesterday. Going to do my nurtrition challenge soon. I my requirments tyen played video games. i was eating bread and that bread was a retextured brick. This cycle has its drags but i think its been good so far. theres no black belt class or sparring due to color belt testing. Okay i'm done now

Worked this morning. This evening spent several hours at King tiger helping with class, taking class, and doing mentor and mentee sessions.

Thanks to Master Dege I just realized I’d been missing out on my tracking requirements. I spent most of the early hours catching up that item. Then later rushed in the daily requirements.

So today I played a new game that I got called rocket league which is pretty fun and then went to the gym and ran and did my requirements. My mom is doing yoga and I am doing trail life later. It was a fun day with my new game. Also fortnite is having a live event on saturday and Im excited for it. Also the brought fall guys and I finished the quests which were SUPER easy. Goodbye

When I woke up, my sitter came over and we did a big workout.  I did my requirements and also did hill sprints for my running.  Then I went to the dentist and I am about to go to hockey practice.  See you tomorrow. 

I had a very eventful weekend which is why I haven’t been journaling lately. I flew out to New York Friday morning for a national youth conference and was busy ever since. I was supposed to fly back home on Sunday, but my flight got cancelled so we went to DC by bus. We stayed at a hotel overnight and went to the National Mall in the morning. Then it was a long drive home, I got home late night on Monday. There’s a lot of catching up to do for requirements.

Hello guys, I got a IV yesterday and it did not go according to plan. My mom said that she didn't think the nurse knew what she was doing. First time she did it in my left arm and she missed my vain, Second time she did it in my right arm but she blew out my vain. I am feeling a lot better then I was because of my electrolyte drink and I am ready to keep going, but if I am at TKD please don't hit me too hard in my stomach.

Good morning, I got to sleep in today. I'm a bit annoyed because open house is tomorrow and school starts in one week. Starting 7th grade in Hickory ridge middle (the best middle school). Hope I have a math teacher for more than a few months. My friends should hopefully be in my class. Got to say, my brain will need to get used to school real quick because the most math I can do is 2+2=4, and don't get me started on ELA. But who knows, maybe this will be a good year (I maybe will get a girlfriend). Question, whats it like on the first day if your home schooled? Well hope you have a good day. 

I got up this morning, showered, and decided to do 1/2 of my physical requirements and will do the other half at camp. Since the Olympics are still going on, I'll see if my kiddos can do a physical requirement for a minute, plus I'll get mine in too.     ( it's always more fun with others)  I still despise burpies. I think I would like them better if there wasn't a push up in the middle.   I don't see how  / why jump roping is a physical requirement. You would think 'v- sit ups' or specific leg exercises would be required. I would rather do extra situps, or miles over burpies.  Rolls and falls?!?!  How many of our KT locations does a falls / rolls class? Why isn't this part of our blackbelt class? What if you only have wooden floors at home? Are you expected to buy a membership...

Got up and did 2 miles this morning, I’m still a little behind from being sick. Catching up feels almost impossible, I’ll get there but it’s a lot!  In the beginning I felt this was very do-able and the deeper in we get and the more time it takes me every morning to get through things the more I realize how hard this is! I have work travel today, tried to stick with my nutrition challenge but finding good food in an airport isn’t easy,   

Practiced self defense up to 1st degree, couple of spin yups, tornado, and back kicks. Need to work more on jump back kicks. I feel like I’m still improving but still have some ways to get to peak performance. I’m still sore all over and mostly tired, but muscles are getting toned as well. I find that I can push harder. It hurts more but it’s possible.

Today felt more packed than usual. I got up about 2 am, and did my physical and tkd requirements back-to-back. After that I took a nap and got up and ready to help with the 6:30 class. Im trying to get the most credits in before testing throws me off a little. After the 6:30 I took the advanced class at about 7:10 and worked on some forms and grappling.

Dry as in the weather.  I was looking at the rain forecast with Debby coming up the coast and I'm pretty sure my grass is going to look like tigers stalk through it looking for hunters to eat.  I wish I had time to get outside and do some milage before the rains come, but I am also grateful to have access to treadmills for times like these.  Maybe the storm will veer off into the ocean, who knows? Hurricanes are predictable yet unpredictable. So helped in one class, led warm ups in another.  It's really strange after you get used to teaching a class the whole period just leading warm ups.  I feel like I'm slacking.... speaking of.slacking, I need to get cranking on that creative form.  I really really REALLY want to do some with my three section staff, but I don't know what the learning curve is on...

Went to the allergist the morning for my weekly shots.  They said I'm almost done with increases and should be able to start maintenance soon.  I don't know how long it'll be before I can start going less frequently than once a week but I'm looking forward to it. I got all my physical requirements done during the day and started in on the Taekwondo requirements afterwards.  While dinner was cooking Gabe and I worked on some of those together.  Hopefully we'll be getting closer to regular speed on our self-defenses soon because we're getting more confident in the techniques.  Of course, we're only four weeks in so we're still making mistakes but we're getting better and have started catching each other's mistakes more easily. Then after dinner, we practiced a bit for our PMAA testing tomorrow night.  Once we get past that it'll be a load off my shoulders.  Hopefully...

Had a fun time in New York for my youth conference but its time to get back on the grind. Just got home from D.C. and now going to rest.

I went to camp and I helped with class I did some guitar. I did my exercise then called my friend. Good night 

Hi King Tiger Family. Happy Monday! Pretty good day all in all. Did not start as early as I wanted but still got off pretty well. Work went well and the home then off to TKD. Helped with class and then took a class. Great to practice Hopkido. Worked on some stick. Now just finished some physical requirements. How to head to bed soon. Have a great evening. Take care. 

I feel the requirements have gotten away from me a bit but i'm trying to catch up. Came in early to my son's class to help out and am going to do so for the next couple weeks to get those leadership credits. Also was able to jog a mile today faster than i ever have in my life (i think) 15:31. I can probably to better since my neighborhood has some deceptive inclines and my right leg was cramping a bit so i had to walk more than i wanted. I hope i can complete these requirements in time. I don't want to let Master's Foster and Knight down at Harrisburg. 

I had a good day spending time with my Mom on her birthday. In true Jack Benny style, it was her 39th birthday *chuckles*…IYKYK. Good night!!

so I started my nutrition challenge a few days ago. That was a mistake. I started on the day we left for camping. I couldnt even have a  nice burger or hotdog because of the no bread thing.  But today was nice atleast. So I woke up and did some stuff my mom told me to do. Then I did some requirements. I played some games for a bit then left for taekwondo. Got my credits but no mentee because he wasnt there. Then I ran at the park and got surprised when sid showed up and ran with me and declan. There were football practices at the park and I watched them while I ran. My open house is on wednesday for school and I'm not excited. School starts next week! One more week at home then back at it again. I feel like summer break is too short. I...

Today I did all my requirements early in the morning then I played some video games then I went to go on my trampoline and we saw a frog in our pool but my dad got it out then I went to open house at my school. Then I went to watch my sisters 90 minute cheer practice.

Today I got ready and went to king tiger.  I assisted with one class.  When I got home it was looking like it was going to rain so we went and walked my dog 2 miles.  Then I thought about getting ice cream bur decided not too.  That was my day so bye for now 

Today I woke up to do my run which was pretty good, after that I hit the gym and got a quick workout in was I enjoyed. After that I went with my dad to drop off a vehicle at a car shop to get my cars breaks redone which was done very quickly, because he finished it in a few hours. Then I went to work, and had a lot of fun there helping out with the kids and enjoying ourselves after that we went home got some amazing dinner and watched a movie called "Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes". It was a well done movie I enjoyed it a lot, and that was my night.

Today, I finished my requirements after lunch. Then, I assisted a senior tiger class, had a mentor session, and attended my black belt class. After class, I ate dinner and went to bed. Have a good night.

I hope everyone had a marvelous Monday and is excited for a terrific Tuesday!!! Got up and me and my brother made Chocolate crêpes. They were amazing and it didn’t take that long to make them! Later, I went to get my allergy shot And after we headed over to my brothers, open house for school. When we finish, we then picked up his school electronic and headed home. I got ready for taekwondo and helped at 5:15 and took the six!!! Hope everyone has a marvelous Monday good night!!!! P.S Today is National oyster day!!! ~Magnolia~

Today was a relaxing day first I woke up had breakfast, played on my phone. Did some requirements then Flynn’s dad came to pick me up and did all I had to do at taekwondo then went to do my 2 miles. And my time was 16:39.27. I saw few friends from school practicing football.

today I woke up and did my requirements for taekwondo. Then I did a 2 mile run. Then I did my chores and then went to the pool from 10:00 from 3:00 so a lot of pool time! That was fun then I came home and then took a shower and then went to taekwondo I help out a bit and talk to Magnolia about stuff for taekwondo. Now I am done for the day! Good night!!!

I was feeling sluggish today, but I got my run in and my time is getting better. I still have some requirements and reading to do since I'm a late night person. Also, we celebrated a birthday which was nice

Today I had school orientation and it was crazy such a big place I’m very disappointed summers over. See you guys tomorrow!

yesterday was my dad's birthday and one of my digital detox days. I did a lot of requirements. I also did a lot of things for my dad like making beaded bracelets.

Today I woke up and did my run then I went back home and I did my exercises, pomsae and self defense. Then I did some of my 5th grade work, after that I went to taekwondo and helped out in the jr tigers. Last I lead the senior Tiger class and i did a good job.

Happy Monday !  Got up and went to camp. Managed to see my mentee crush the first half of her poomsae! Before leaving today, I got in a mentor session with 'A' and she did well. I'm so proud of her. I know she will do amazing with her self defense and get her new belt!  Came home and did my requirements.  I keep thinking the same thing I tell my students, just 1 more. 1 more push up, 1 more burpie, 1 more sit up. 1 more attempt at your pull ups. 

Still really sick. My mom gave me dramamine or something to help with the nausea and now I just feel weird. Not sure why I'm reacting to the shots I got so badly. I can barely move or do anything. My mom said I might have to go to urgent care if I don't feed myself. It's day 4 of me barely eating anything. I don't want to fall behind.

Today I did all my exercises and I ran and walked 2 miles. After, we went to the Chiropractor again, and we also went to our school to drop off stuff for Ronin and meet his teachers. After that we went to Sport Clips, and now I just finished my lunch and I'm going to play videogames. See you guys later!

Good afternoon, pretty chill day. My mom woke up sick and my dad was at work so it was a do nothing day. Had plenty of time to do my requirements. I have a junior tigers class then a black belt class. Have a good day.

I got up earlyish and Got 2 miles in, I've been trying to get a stretch session in after my runs. They feel good, but i don't know if I'm actually getting any more flexible. I didn't think going up to 4 minutes each on the exercises would be a big deal but I can tell a big difference in my energy on that 4th set still.   We went out to Collect-a-con and actually saw a few king tiger folks. It was an interesting event, something I've never done before, doing something new is always good.  I also started learning my new skill this weekend, harder than i thought it would be so far!

Good morning, everyone! Yesterday was a nice day. Overall, I met all my requirements yesterday, and the other half of the day was spent cleaning the house. It always happens to be in my house when you lose something, and you end up finding everything else that you lost except the actual thing you need. I am trying to knock out essays before hand so that I don't have to worry about them next cycle or in the school year. This morning, I went back to school to return my computer and just came back. I am planning on going to TKD today and am hoping my book is still there. Have a wonderful day!

Started pretty early. Completed half of requirements by 11am. Took the boys out to the Harrisburg park, and completed the other half concurrently.

During today, I woke up and did my requirements and then after that started tracking everything from week 3. I practiced more for the 1rst Dan and 2nd Dan self-defense before doing the specials to see where I was at.

Day started fun. We went to a Cannonballers baseball game. Did get baked in the sun but it was fun. Then 4 hours of yard work. So tired, so sore and a little bit sunburned on my hand. 

  Today was more relaxing than most, after I did my jog and practice i went to visit some family. I got home and finished off physical requirements and did my German before bed.                                    

This morning I ran a mile with my Dad and came back home to do my exercises. I practiced my Pomsae, self defense, and kicks. I was a little tired after running today but I kept pushing. I can tell I'm getting stronger by doing exercises everyday. I will keep pushing until i reach my goal. 

I tend to ask this every Sunday evening to be fair, but it seems like I blink and the weekend is gone.  I am remembering now why every cycle I have contemplated hiring a maid until October, because between classes/requirements/shopping for the upcoming week I never have enough time to clean it seems.  And keeping the house clean is important, as well have multiple people who have dust allergies.  In addition to that, my daughter's new aide is mildly allergic to dogs.  We.have a dog, so I am trying to at least vacuum and wash the dog's things more than usual so she doesn't have a reaction.  

Today I woke up and headed to church; today's message was amazing and it was about how God loves us through the struggle. I also got to see a good friend, Silas, and heard he might be coming to my school starting this school year. I then got food, ate, and did some requirements. Afterwards, I went to Latta to do a long run; I ended up falling pretty hard during the run, but it was nothing serious. I then came home, watched a few cooking shows with my dad, and now I am here. 

We had an illness issue this morning so we didn't make our usual trip to the park for training.  Once that was resolved, we got on with our day and did the usual weekend shopping.  While Gabe took our daughter to Zumba at the gym, I went out and knocked out almost two miles.  I probably shouldn't have worn jeans but I didn't feel like changing and then changing back. One they got home we had some food and finished up our shopping for the week.  Then it was time to start dinner and knock out some physical requirements.  After dinner we were informed that someone threw up so we had to stop for a bit to deal with that and then finish up requirements for the night.  Hopefully that's it for everyone feeling sick for a while.

On Saturday, I went to sparring class in the morning and assisted a junior tiger class. Then, I did all of my requirements and had to go to a party. On Sunday, I did not have any classes. I finished my requirements after lunch. I then ran for 2 miles and ate dinner. I will see you on Monday.

today I woke up and did my requirements for taekwondo. Then I went on a run. And then got home took a shower then went to collect-a-con. Super fun!!! Then my Pokémon binder got to my house and then I sorted and put away my Pokémon. I did that for like an hour! Now I am done for the day! Good night!!!

When I woke up I ran a mile with my mom and did my requirements.  Later in the afternoon I played Frisbee golf with my dad.  My dog, Sammie came too.  In Frisbee golf, I have frisbees called beast, cobra, putter and mamba.  My parents and sister have other ones.  When I got home we had dinner and then now I'm ready for bed.  Good night. 

I woke up and had breakfast then went to poomsae team I was on the phone with Landry for 5 hours did my exercise ate dinner then watched some YouTube. Good night.

Today I woke up and played some video games then did my requirements then I wrote 2 essays then did the rest of my requirements then I my grandparents came for dinner.

Today was the day we left to go home. Camping was fun, relaxing, and I am exhausted. When we got home we discovered the water heater leaking in the garage. Plumber came to fix it in the middle of us unpacking all the camping gear. Seating up tent and canopy back up so they could dry out. I vacuumed my mother’s van. It took a lot of energy that I did not have for my run tonight. My time was a longer than it has been. I am still learning how to pace myself for 2 miles.

Woke up and went to a special even that took five hours!But then we came home and cleaned our room did all of our requirements push-ups are really tricky for me pull ups are getting easier planks are still a little hard set ups are easy Burpee’s tired me out and after this my dad‘s gonna open Pokémon packs I get to help it’s a really fun day see you tomorrow bye ✌️

Today I woke up went to a special event came back home after five hours! Then I did some requirements push-ups felt like it took forever and planks and sit ups felt very easy and then I did some poomsaes. Then I did pull ups I’m working on doing more than one pool up and keeping myself up longer and now I’m done doing my journal see you tomorrow bye.

Hey guys, i'm feeling sick. Got shots for school on Thursday before sparring and I haven't eaten anything for 3 days. My mom and dad tell me to toughen up, but I just throw it up. My mom forced me to walk 2 miles today, now I'm in bed. Night Night.

Today i went to Collect-a-con. it was cool to be there but it didn't really have anything cool because all of that was on saturday. i forgot to put 2 weeks yesterday so oh well. when we got hom i did some gaming and went to the gym for requirements. we came back and i'm doing my journal now. Okay i'm done now.

I think the thing that made me the happiest today was my cat joining me for a cat nap today before work. She did the kneeling thing and purred, and I just love it. Then she licked my face, which is a weird feeling, never had her do that before. So I had her on one side of me and my dog on the other. So comfortable!

Good afternoon everyone, hope you had a good day today. Today i woke up with some shoulder pain. Maybe from a bad move I did on Saturday? Well, i'll probably feel better tomorrow morning.

My back is feeling better today, which is good. Hopefully I can be all in next week. 

So today I went to church and we had a guest speaker, and he was really good. Our normal pastor is on subaticle, which means he is gone for about 12 weeks. This is to give the pastor rest and help refresh his mind. After that we had lunch at this really good mexican truck called Titos. Now i'm home, and about to go to a concert with some friends, so that will be a lot of fun. The band is called Cage the Elephant, it was difficult to figure out the tickets considering my family doesn't go to many concerts.

Good afternoon, I had to wake up early today because I had church today. The sermon was good. Then I got groceries, did my requirements, and did some cleaning. Have a good day 

Today I'm going to go watch a movie with brye and some of his cousins. Then after I'm going to go to his house and we'll play basketball and play videos games there. Then when I get home I'll put my little siblings to sleep and that'll be my day.

I was in the mood for some alliteration with the title. It was another productive day at the park going over Stick form 1 & 2, Staff 1 & 2 and Bocho Specials. Bocho Specials was definitely a good refresher for me. Thanks, Master Dege! Sometimes, I can get so caught up in knowing the "new stuff"....still have to remember the "old stuff". Also, Master Scott sent me a video of Master Burkart doing Staff 2. So I am happy having a visual I can refer to instead of memory alone. I will finish up my day with requirements, but I can pace myself. No working tonight. Yippee!

Today I went to church, and I got talk with some friends, one of which was Zane (idk how to spell it). Anyway, I got him to come and help in our church lesson that we did and I asked him if he wants to serve a mission which is something you doo when you turn 18 in our church. He said that he'd like to, but I told him if he wants to he needs to get more involved with the church. When I got home, we walked around our block and got 2 miles done, now I'm going to play some DnD with my family, and also one of my mom's friends kids, so wish me luck. I'm going to be the DM so I've got to go now, bye!

Good morning, everyone! Yesterday was a better day. I am feeling much better than I was earlier and finished many requirements and parts of my essays yesterday. I started on my 7-hand techniques of Tae Kwon Do yesterday and also completed a 12-hour period with electronics. Surprisingly, the challenge was not as hard as I thought it would be, and I actually did well. Today, I am planning to finish requirements, and tomorrow I have to get my book from Tae Kwon Do. Have a wonderful day!

Weekend full of yard work. It’s rained so much the weeds took over our front yard beds and that had to be at the expense of my back, weeded. 

Led the black belt class today at North Charlotte KT. We stretched, practiced our forms, kick punch, and self defense combinations.

Today I went to blackbelt class.  Afterwards I got breakfast. I was really tired and took a little nap.   For lunch I made waffles. Then I had to run and get the last of the things I need for Seabase.  I am leaving Monday morning for camp.  After we got back I went for a walk with my mom.  

Today I did some requirements then planned my first digital detox. I watched a movie then wrote this now I'm probably asleep.

For those of you following along with the icky fish saga, there is definitely improvement in their looks and behavior.  One fish looks almost entirely normal again.  The other fish had little color yesterday and looked like he was wearing those contacts that actors wear to make their eyes look entirely white.  His eyes look back to normal today, so no more zombie fish.  And more importantly, they are both eating again.  Looks like they are going to pull through! We got to go to black belt class today with Master Opie at the helm.  One thing I really like about when he teaches is that we are going to do stretching at some point in the class.  We also usually get to do punching/blocking/kicking drills that are not the usual combos.    After class, PMAA review, and mentoring, we stopped to visit the fish guy since he was out. The...

Today I woke up and headed to Black Belt Class, where we worked on a lot of Poomsae, which was great. I have a few small changes to make to my Poomsae's (mainly my preps). I then came home and relaxed before going on a run. It wasn't bad, but I probably should not have gone at 13:00, I should have waited until it got cooler. After that I went and to Best Buy and Target with a few friends to grab a few things (I pretty much ran errands with my friends). I then came home, did requirements, played some video games with the same friends, and now I am here. 

Today we had Black Belt class with Master Opi.  I really enjoy whenever someone else teaches because it feels like you always learn something new and get a different perspective when it happens.  It's like finding a missing piece of the puzzle that was left in the box and now the picture starts to make just a little bit more sense. On the way home from class we saw the fish vendor out by the hardware store in Harrisburg and stopped to see what he had for sale.  We bought a few things for dinner and took them home.  Before long it was time to pick up our eldest from work and then on to lunch.  This dietary challenge is making dining out difficult so we picked up the food and then went home.  After lunch we packed up some stuff for Goodwill and then eventually Habitat for Humanity.  Once we'd...

At Saturday black belt class we worked on our jumping turning and sidekicks. The hard part about it is it's much harder to see where your looking compared to just a turning side or hook kick while your jumping up in the air. I also did taebeuk and guemgang, I then went home and rested, later did pull-ups read my book, and played games.

Today I woke up and did my requirements for taekwondo. Then I did most of my chores before teakwondo. After bbc I finished my chores and played with my dog. Then I went to the library with my sister. Then I went to the pool and played categories with my friends. After that my sister got back from a dive meet and we then celebrated her birthday! Now I am done for the day. Good night!!!!!

I took master Opi's black belt class early in the morning today. He spoke and worked on combos, and how to use them practically advancing and retreating. And we went in depth on basic forms and reviewed self defense and forms. After that we worked on some pma stuff before the test Tuesday. Then before I left I went over stick, and staff form 1 with my mentor. And learned more of my special self defense. When I got home I did some physical requirements and practiced kicks.

Today we got back from vacation right now the workouts are getting easier but they’re still hard but you have to keep pushing through it to succeed if you don’t succeed try again it’s really fun when you get to win but if you don’t just practice that’s what I’ve been doing with my Black belt cycle even though it’s hard I never gave up that hurt but it was worth it then I have a fun day with all my family Talk tomorrow ✌️ 

Today we got back from Hilton head it was really fun there I got stung by jellyfish though. Tomorrow we go to collect a con it’s basically like a place where you buy stuff from games. I also did some requirements planks push-ups set ups pull ups and poomsae  self-defense. For me push-ups are kind of hard For me and planks  are easy. Everything else is kind of mid. See you tomorrow peace out ✌️.

Today is day 4 of camping. We first woke up had some breakfast which was delicious. Then we went to the town found the best candy place I have ever seen. After that we went to a park which was very fun then played in the stream then it started to rain. Then broke a rock and the inside looks so cool then came back to have dinner which was tacos.

Today i did black belt class. After black belt class i stayed for the white belt class and got a class assistance. my mom said the wrong time so i was waiting for like 30 mins. after class i games and then i went to the gym for requirements. i just got a watch for my miles so i can track that on it. i don't need my pedometer anymore. Okay i'm done now.

I hope everyone had a super Saturday and is excited for a special Sunday!!! This morning I was woken up to my Puppy barking at the end of my bed. Apparently he had walked all the way upstairs and into my room just wake me up. I went downstairs and was with my puppy until my brother woke up this morning. I got ready to Go to taekwondo! Today there was no Zoom call and afterwards I helped out with class. I came home. I ate lunch and played games with my Mom and brother. I helped her prepare dinner and we ate as a family. Me and my mom played games afterwards while my brother watched the Olympics. I hope tomorrow is a special Sunday!!! Good night!!!  P.S. Today is National sandcastle day!!! ~Magnolia~

Black belt class with Master Chelley and then I help with class. I with some older girls who were white belts. We worked on hwang on poomsaes, and then broke down how to do two hand preps and blocks. When we were doing the poomsae it look like they were mimicking and trying to do it already, so I asked them if anyone explained to them why/how to do it. They did great. Ran a few errands and went back to do demo practiced. I’m getting closer to doing a back walk over. The kick over is stronger, but my legs still anchor me too back. When I can home this afternoon, I went to sleep, I have to back on my night schedule. Now I’m waking up and will continue my day.

Started the day at 3:45am with an Amazon delivery shift that had me stuck in the deep south (Monroe) and I wasn't able to get back in time for the class this am. I completed my requirements early, thouroughly cleaned the garage, did a bunch more Amazon deliveries, and studied for an exam I have to take for my job. It was a productive day.

I had black belt class today.  I also helped with the next class.  When I got done, me and my dad went to go get a computer for school.  I got the same computer my sister got a few years ago.  I also got a mouse.  When I got home we got it all set up.  Tonight we watched alot of Olympics.  Have a great day tomorrow.
