I got my friend Chase some cool things for his birthday. One of them is a Ben 10 thing that creates some of his aliens. The other one is some really good pokemon cards. I can’t wait to go to his birthday party. It’s tomorrow. I wonder what everybody else is going to bring from him? Good bye for now
Max
When school started this year, I was introduced to the running club. This is where you can run around our 1/4 mile track during recess each day and on Friday mornings before school.
I noticed a lot of older kids wearing t-shirts from last year that said, “I ran 100 miles” and I wanted a t-shirt like that, too. So I decided I would try to run 100 miles. That’s 400 laps. I really like running. After every 5 miles, the running club gives you a plastic foot to put on a key ring.
Today, I reached the 90 mile mark. I only have 10 more to go! My goal is to finish 100 miles before Christmas break. I think I will make it. I am really excited.
Today I am going to test for my second belt in Taekwondo. At my school, the belts go like this:
White, Yellow, Orange, Green, Purple, Blue, Brown, Red, Red-Black, Black
In between each new belt color is a senior belt or stripe belt. Right now I am a yellow belt and I am testing today for my yellow stripe belt.
My test will include a demonstration of physical skills (jump rope, push-ups, stamina), technical skills (punches, kicks, blocks, board-breaking, and forms), sparring skills, and an interview.
In addition to reciting the names and birthdays of each of my parents and grandparents, I will be asked the following questions during the interview:
1. Can you count to ten in Korean?
Hana, Dool, Set, Net, Tasut, Yosut, Illgop, Yodohl, Ahope, Yohol
2. Can you explain what makes power?
Power is made by weight and speed together with relaxation, concentration and confidence, Sir!
3. What does Taekwondo mean?
Tae: Foot for kick or stomp
Kwon: Hand for punch or block
Do: Way of life or philosophy
At my last belt test (my first), I had no idea what to expect and I was underprepared for the interview process. I had a really hard time and even though I barely passed that portion, I didn’t feel too good about the experience. This time, I practiced everything over and over and I feel great about today’s test. I can’t wait!
Hi it’s me Max again.
Today I am going to tell you about Harry potter again. Tonight me and my mom are going to read chapter 17. Right now Ron and Hermione are stuck. I don’t know if Harry can make it. If he does not make it, it will be sad. If he does make it, it will be happy. If I read it tonight I will tell you tomorrow. It’s very exiciting.
Good bye
See you tomorrow
