is such an inspirational movie. I just finished watching it and I love it every time. Yes, it's sad, but this show gives so much hope. This movie portrays that you can do anything...you can dream up and do anything if you close your eyes and open your mind. A little girl can be a princess. A boy can go to the moon. You can dream up a giant troll that becomes your best friend. Anything can happen. Dreams do come true...and not just in big cities with lots of opportunities. You can make the best of any situation and you can change your circumstances around. I want to be a hero. No, I don't want to fly around on with a cape and a mask. I want to change people's lives for the better. I want to help one child from a bad circumstance and change it around to make a good functional person. I want to be the reason why people change for the better. I want to make a difference. I want to MAKE A DIFFERENCE. I want to go into social work when I'm older and help children who come f

The title of this post is totally sarcastic. I know I'm only a freshman in high school, but it seems like all of my plans for my sophomore year have changed. I chose one way, because I didn't think one way would be worth my time. Later, I learned the people who took that same path aren't the greatest people. I feel bad...but I don't want to be on that path anymore. I want to choose my other path. But it's too late. All of my plans have changed. I was so excited for high school and to meet new people, but now I just want to stick to my comfort zone. However, my comfort zone is no longer an option. It's really devastating. If only I would've known before it was too late! I just want to feel at peace with my decisions and I hope that my decisions aren't going to affect the rest of my life. Neither of my choices are bad. But one is better. One is a lot better. Not to mention funner. I just wish I would've noticed that a few weeks ago. I just want to

I finally updated the family blog, but it's private, so if you want to see it, send me your email address and I'll add you! Thanks!

Music, musicians, songs, lyrics, etc!! Music is my life...it's proven that music makes you smarter, too! Seriously! I love music and so I decided it was a blog-worthy post! Make sure you pause my playlist! I know this is a lot of music...but you can listen to it over a long period of time if you want! Artists: David Archuleta. Why? Well...for one, he's a really good kid, secondly he sings clean, positive, upbeat songs that make you feel good, and three, he has so much SOUL and PASSION! His music is not like everyone else's! "Complain" - This song has a powerful message. You'll see. My favorite lyrics are: "But as long as I'm breathin', baby I can't complain". It's true! Check it out here:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCRKsziRKY4   Sara Bareilles. I am in total awe of her. She has SO much talent. I heard somewhere that she never had a music lesson in her life...she learned the piano all by herself. I wish I could do that.

It seems like I'm the only one who gets angry. It seems like I take on other people's feelings. I tend to do that but it just makes my life harder. I feel so forgotten and kind of like a shadow. I feel that no matter how hard I try to communicate and fix things that I am going to offend someone. It seems that if I try to save my feelings then it will hurt someone else's. Maybe I'm just sensitive. Maybe I just need to not be so emotional and not take everything so personally. That's who I am. When I feel, I feel from head to toe. I feel out loud. I feel expressively. People get annoyed and they can't stand the fact that I am that way. It seems like other people, when they get angry, they can get away with it because it rarely happens and they're JUST kidding. Or they lie, and say, "No, I'm not angry; I never get angry." Everyone gets angry and I think it's okay to. Everyone handles problems differently but I'm the type who has to comm

Don't you hate it when you go to church and all you hear is... "Oh, the world is so wicked and in order to be saved you have to read, read, read, READ your scriptures" and "Stay OFF the internet - it is SO bad" or "Satan is powerful, watch out!" I know I do. It's not that I'm scared it's just that I hate to focus on the negative. It's depressing. Today, while reading the NewEra (love it) I saw this article type thing that gave ideas on how to use the Internet for good. I was so excited! I was so glad that someone finally said that the Internet is good! They said you could get a profile on mormon.org or on youth.lds.org. You could chat with other youth about the gospel and share your testimony. Or... you can post things that inspire you on your social media sites likes Facebook, MySpace, or blogger...for instance. I was so excited that I could do MISSIONARY WORK on the INTERNET! That was so exciting for me! I have officially decided
