Bridge to Terabithia...

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 from families that aren't so fortunate. Even though they can't change their circumstances, I want to help them overcome problems and make their lives better. I was always told growing up that I can be anything that I want to be. I always wanted to be a famous singer. Although that's not the case now, I know that I could do it. My mom and my dad always had lots of confidence in me and I knew I could do anything I set my mind to. Not all kids have that. I'm fortunate enough to be blessed with a family that loves me and will do anything for me. That's why I want to be a hero in other children's lives. Because I was so fortunate, I want to help others who aren't as fortunate and help their dreams come true.

Why do I complain? I have so much to be grateful for. My life is wonderful. WONDERFUL. Why can't everyone be as fortunate as me?

10 Things to Do When You're Having A Hard Time

Image
Imagine a world where the sun is always shining, there is no temptation, weakness, or sin. The grass is always green, hair is always shiny, flowers never die, people never misbehave, no illness exists, and the sky is always blue. Imagine also a world where you never felt joy, you never laughed, you never sang or danced in the kitchen. There was no sweet – there was no color, there was no life. There was no righteousness, no growth, no children, no family. Oddly enough, these are the same world. When we chose God’s plan, we knew that this life would be difficult. Our whole purpose in coming to Earth is to be tried and tested. Yet, sometimes when life gets hard, we forget that we CHOSE this. There must needs be an opposition in all things. Proverbs 3:5-6 states: “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart, and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all ways acknowledge Him and He will direct thy paths.” 1. Realize and understand your divine nature as a child of God. There is

Ah, Lovely Scarlet Pimpernel

Well, The Scarlet Pimpernel is now over. Sad life. I enjoyed it so much. You know, I don't know what it is about theatre...it doesn't even matter if you have a part or not...theatre is happiness. It brings joy. Joy to all those who participate. Joy to the actors, and joy to the audience. And there's something extra special about a musical. Music is also joy. So, double the joy! :) I feel the same way I did when I quit dance. I feel like I've been separated from my family. I feel like I've moved away from home and from everything that I love. Although this isn't quite true, I do miss my cast family very much. However, I will say...there's something extraordinary about a smaller cast. You really have time to connect and bond with each other. But I really feel like this cast was amazing. I've become so close with all of them. I would just like to spend a few minutes to thank all of those that are really special. (Sorry, I don't have any pictur

A Year and a Half Sacrifice (Or Two Years)

So my sister is coming home today! Today at 5:55 PM, I will see my sister, Katie, face-to-face for the first time in 18 months. A year and a half... She was serving a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, joining, the thousands of missionaries in the world, and my 4 brothers, and my dad. I was thinking the other day, how crazy it is that I haven't seen her in so long! I'm so excited I can't even contain it! But I'm glad. I'm glad her and all my brothers and my dad all sacrificed 2 (or 1 1/2 years) to invite others to come unto Christ. If it were for any other reason, I'd be sad. I mean...I HAVEN'T SEEN MY SISTER IN A YEAR AND A HALF. But I'm glad it's because she was on a mission. I'm happy. Can you tell? P.S. Does anyone know why my blog paraphraphs all mush into one? I press enter and separate them, but they don't separate, unless I make it a bulleted list? I'm so confused.
