Be Courageous
By: Ashlee W.

Chase your dreams.
Encourage others.
Be yourself.
Have fun and be courageous,

Stand up for others.
Don’t be afraid.
Take strike.
Be creative.
And be courageous,

You are strong.
Think positive.
Stay positive.
Pray.
And be courageous,

Express your feelings.
Head up.
Stay strong.
Be true to yourself.
And be courageous,

Don’t be ashamed of who you are or what is happening now.
Because you,
Are you.
And you are courageous.

Hearing Changed My Life

1: My favorite sense that I have is hearing. Hearing enables you to listen to the different sounds that are all around the world. Some sounds are good, but some are bad. You just have to push the bad ones away, and let the good ones flow in. With hearing you can learn the word of Jesus Christ. You can hear yourself sing. Be inspired by music. There’s lots of ways that hearing improves and helps you live the journey that your life has.

2: Without hearing I wouldn’t of have heard Justin Bieber’s music. His music has changed my life, so if I wouldn’t be able to hear my life would be different. There’s no doubt about it. His music is just beautiful. He writes it straight from his heart. And with hearing you can tell what people are saying whenever they are talking. Whenever your pastor is preaching you can hear him speaking the glorious words of the life of Christ. Without hearing you couldn’t be inspired by music, and sing along to it. You wouldn’t be able to learn life lessons.

3: Without hearing I would be a totally different person. One being that I wouldn’t be able to hear. I wouldn’t be able to sing and hear myself, so that would ruin my dream career. I wouldn’t be able to watch movies and hear them, or understand them without it being with words at the bottom or it being in sign language. I wouldn’t be able to get the full affect of the story of Jesus. Not being able to hear would change my life in so many different ways. Being able to hear is such a blessing and I wouldn’t know what to do without it.

Making a Change

by: Ashlee W.

He gets made fun of EVERYDAY, he pushes it away.. Some people say he’s ugly. Even though some people call him ugly he still cares about them, along with people that love him too. He goes to hospitals, and gives away money him and his team earn from concerts. Everything he does, makes a change in someone.. That is, Justin Bieber.

 

His Story

 

Justin was found on his YouTube account, “Kidrauhl” by Scooter Braun. Then, Justin and his Mom “Pattie” were not looking for him to become famous. When Pattie started talking to Scooter she thought she had a call to get rid of, they ended up talking for 2-3 hours. Scooter said he could fly her and Justin to Atlanta, show them he’s a real manager. Justin and Pattie signed with Island records and started his soon to be BIG career.

 

Make It Happen

 

Justin likes to help others because we helped him get to where he his is today so he feels he has to give back. Justin supports a lot of charities and foundations. One in particular being “Pencils of Promise”

 

Helping Others

 

Justin supports many causes too. One being Cancer. One time he surprised a 6 year old girl who was not only a fan, but she had AT/RT, atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor. Her name is Avalanna Routh, she was not expected to live past her early ages(1-3). Justin flew her out to NY and spent the day eating cupcakes with her. Sadly, recently she died at the age of 6 on Sept. 26, 2012.

 

Chase Your Dreams

 

Justin means a lot to me because he’s not only my idol and inspiration, but he helps the lives of others. He doesn’t care about himself. You can’t catch your dreams if you don’t chase them:)

A Chilly November Day

I sat down on the red bench on a chilly
November day and looked around,
Everything that I saw reminded me of the year that i was in
5th grade,

I hear the tree’s leaves rustle in the wind,
it sounds like they’re whispering to their friend’s,
The waterfalls make soothing little sounds,
That would make someone’s head go round and round,

CHIRP.
CHIRP.
Was the sound of little baby birds ready for dinner,
You could hear squirrels running about on branches, and collecting nuts,
Getting ready for hibernation,

All of the leaves surrounding this place made it look like a colorful wonderland,
It makes you want to go inside the forest’s trap,
And for the outer world to never go back.

Wave running On the Ocean Blue

Wave Running On the Ocean Blue

It was in summer of 2012 ( July 22nd to be exact). My family and I were going on vacation to Mexico, and we were going on this trip because my Brother Jordan will be going off to college soon. My family and I got there by a 2hr flight, which BTW ( by the way) was not, lets just say an “ A Okay “ kind of ride, and we were 40,000ft up in the air over the ocean. We wanted this vacation to be a vacation that we would remember forever.

I have been having a great time with my family in Mexico! We have done a numeral of things already since we’ve been here! It was getting close to the end of our vacation and we were deciding on what kinds of activities that we wanted to do before our last day there. There were many, many, many, many, mannyyy things to choose from. Like, TOO MANY to name. I wanted to go zip-lining, but my Step Dad wasn’t on board with me because we would have to go 6hrs without seeing my Mom and my little Sister. My Sister wouldn’t be able to zip-line because she is too young. So we looked at other activities and did some thinking and finally we all agreed on something. “Wave running!”I thought. “I’ll think about it”, I said. “Ok well make sure that you so because we will be doing that shortly”, replied my Mother.

So, I thought about it for a while. I had some agreement with myself and some disagreements with myself too. But in the end it turned out to be a “yes”. I told my parents and in a jiffy they were ready to go. As we were heading to the beach I started getting butterflies in my stomach, but I just brushed them away like they weren’t there.

As I walked down the beach to where the wave running station was I was excited, but whenever it got to the point to where everyone was staring at me waiting for me to make my last, and final decision I got nervous again. My answer, was a yes and I was ready to go! I hopped onto the wave runner and off we went. Crashing and splashing on the waves. I could taste the ocean water because it would pop up right into my mouth. It was GROSS! My driver said some things that I couldn’t understand what he was saying I just nodded and said “yes”. We drove past other hotels and people. It was beautiful and very much an adrenaline rush! Soon my trip of wave running was over, sadly, but I knew it would have to end sooner or later. We drove back to shore and I was thinking “WOAH!! I DROVE OVER SHARKS!? AHHH!!!” But, it was pretty fun and dangerous! So I thought “WOW!” “Nothing is as fun as playing with danger!” Once my feet were back on the white, snowy sand I was shaky, but full of excitement. I headed to the pool to meet my Mom, my Sister, and my Brother. As soon as I found them I told them “I would DEFINITELY do this again!” My Mom replied with a “GREAT!” I told her how I was nervous at first but once I saw how beautiful the view was and how gorgeous everything was, I just thought for a moment and it turned out to be not bad. I could have talked for hours about my trip, but unfortunately my Mom would get annoyed and eventually would tone me out, so I just told her that and went to go eat at one of the buffet restaurants. And went on with the rest of my magical family adventure.

Justin Bieber

I don’t usually post these kind of things, but I love this…
I’m not a fan, I am a BELIEBER..
Justin’s not a passion or an obsession of mine, he’s my LIFE..
He loves us, and we love him..
We make mistakes, and so does he, but in the end..
We Are A Family..
I am a BELIEBER FOREVER! <3
