Favorite High School Memory

I think that everyone should and does have a great time in high school. My high school experience has been nothing but full or great memories. One of my favorite memories was made freshman year during the winter. One weekend Abby, Kiley, and I decided to go up to the cabin in McCall. Of coarse there was parental supervision. There were a few feet of snow on the ground so of coarse we had to play in it for as long as we could. We thought we were so smart we decided to build a little ramp on top of a hill so we could jump on it and slide all the way down the hill. We had been doing this for quite a while each time we went down we would come up with better ideas to get a better push. So we ended up getting a running start and then jumping onto a sled and sliding down the big hill. Well this is when i got a little crazy. Something happened that is probably the funniest thing i have ever witnessed in my entire life! Just thinking about it right now has me laughing up a storm. So Abby decided she wanted to get a really good running start, so she just kept walking further back to have more running distance. Finally she started running as fast as she possibly could with the floaty in her hands ready to jump and slide. She got to the little ramp and jumped as hard as she could and when she landed she completely missed the floaty and totally face plants it in the snow. She had so much force the her face indented the the snow and her legs flew up and over her head while her head slip across the white snow. It was so outrageous that it was one of those moments you saw in slow motion. That picture or Abby in the snow with her legs curled over her like that has been planted in my brain for ever! both Kiley and i witnessed thing hilarious event. While it was happening there was nothing but silence and as soon as she was done sliding across the snow on her face there was a slight pause and all at once we busted out laughing as hard as we possibly could there was tears coming down our faces because we laughed so hard our stomachs were exhausted from laughing. The very next day we arrived at school telling everyone we could about our crazy adventure.

Senior Project

My senior project was a variety dance show. With the help of Abby and Kiley we were able to organize an amazingly entertaining dance show. It was on April 14th in the Phoenix Room. We had all the way from students in 7th grade to high school seniors perform for us. All of the dances were choreographed by us and performed by our peers. The turn out was great. Many family members, friends, and even staff attended our project. The opening number was my favorite. It was the biggest group we had, the were all seventh and eighth grade students. Kiley and I choreographed this hip hop dance since the very beginning of the year. All of the kids worked extremely hard to perfect the dance. At first it was extremely stressful thinking about choreographing a dance for 30 middle school kids. However, it wasn't impossible. They struggled to learn the difficult dance but it was a good challenge to get their body's working. I also choreographed a solo for my friend Trish and she did absolutely outstanding. She learned the choreography in about an hour and had a few days to run through it. Having such experienced dancers like that made it really easy to make something up knowing they will be able to modify it themselves if needed. All my dance pieces turned out great. I was so greatful to all my dancers without them the project would have failed. They worked very hard for us. Having that project completed makes my last few weeks of high school much more enjoyable.

Something that is very important to me is my little sister, Karla. She is 10 years old and looks just like me. When i was very little all i asked for from my parents was a little sister. For years and years that was all i ever wanted for chrismas and birthdays. Finanly during my 2nd grade year my little sister was born April 22nd, 2001. I was the happiest little girl ever! Finaly my wish had come true! I was so blessed to have such an amazing little sister like mine. She looks up to me a lot and always wants to do everything i do and dress just like i do. So i feel like i have the resposibilty to teach her good things and be a good influence. I think of my little sister as my daughter at times just because im always there for her, taking care of her, feeding her snacks after school, taking her to her soccer practices and her freinds house. I love the fact that she can come to me and talk to me about anything. I want her to feel like i can listen and understand her. I love my little sister to pieces and always will! =]

spring break

Stress has been a big part of my life lately. During my spring break i was mostly stressed about filling out scholarship applications, finishing my senior project, and doing other unnecessary homework! It was a long long time ago that stress was not even in my vocabulary, and lately it seems like that's all that i feel. I can't wait for my senior project to be over and done with so that maybe i can relax just a little bit. With that being done it will lift an enormous amount of weight off my shoulders. However, there were a few fun activities that took place during spring break. So it wasn't all that bad. My 18th birthday was during the break and i had a really great time with my family. I also realized that my license expires only four days after my birthday. So i had to go get it renewed and that was a terrible experience. First i get the and get the number F554. I looked up to see what number they wee on and they had barely called on the number F501. I was seriously about to scream. I had to wait over and hour and a half. It also didn't help that i was getting hit on the entire time by some weirdo that thought i was some other girl he had barely met the day before. And some other dude that was probably at least 27 walks up to me and starts talking to me like all i went there for was to talk to ugly boys so he hands me a gum wrapper with his number on it and expects me to text him! Are you kidding me? All I wanted to do was get my license renewed and get my stupid picture taken. Speaking about the picture. That morning it was raining cats and dogs so naturally my hair turned into a disaster. By the time it was my turn to take the picture my hair look even worse! I had already been there for a ridiculous amount of time that at the end i didn't even care how my picture looked i just wanted to get out of there before some other weirdo thought he could just give me his number, walk off, and expect me to text him.

ex boyfriends!

Lets say you have a boyfirend. You are completely in love with this person ( or so you think). His family loves you but they secretly say rude things about you behind your back! Finaly, you break up with this idiot. It takes every single cell in your body to not let yourself go back to him. He just wont give in. He calls a billinon times, texts you a bilion times, goes over to your house uninvited to tell your parents that it was all your falt that you guys are not together, and then gets some girl to go with him to the dance and rubs it al over your face! Plus, he turnes every single person he knows against you and makes them hate your guts! Just wait it gets worse! Just when you think you have started to move on have forgoten about him he swoops right back in and tries to get you back one more time. He says he's a changed man and is "mature" now. Don't make the same mistake i did and fall for some idiot that only want to take advantage of you and make your life miserable!

school school school

Today at school we were allowed to wear whatever we wanted. It was a free dress day. Usually we wear our uniforms to school. Kinda lame uniforms. Every time all the students get to wear whatever they want i appreciate the fact that we have uniforms at this school. You would be amazed to see the weird things that some people wear. I think it is so entertaining to see all the different outfits that some people have. How do they not know that some things just don't look right on them?! Or how do they not know when they should just throw that piece of clothing away already! Today some person was walking around with what looked like some homemade ripped jeans with paint splattered on them. Really? Really?! Is that really necessary?! Why not just wear some nice clean jeans. They don't have to be expensive or name brand as long as they are clean and look decent. Speaking about decent looking jeans. Muffin tops! If the jeans don't fit just take them off! A muffin top means you need to get bigger pants and pull them up! Trust me no one wants to see that. Basically i am really grateful that my school has uniforms because if they didn't then i would be distracted all day just looking at all the ridiculous outfits.

Making a Video

Today at school my friends and i were assigned to create a short movie clip to hopefully attract more people to to our school store, The Phoenix Nest. Kiley played the unprepared, lazy student, which is the complete opposite of what she is. I played the prepared student that is always ready to go. We shot scenes where we were given tests and Kiley would freak out because she didn't have anything that she needed. The idea was to show people that if they ever needed anything for school then they would be able to walk over to the school store and buy almost any school supply. We also sell a large variety of snacks including candy bars. Once the video is edited and perfected, the plan is to show the video during lunch to encourage students to spend their money at the school store.
