My freshman year was very full of events and very entertaining. I was in many activities, which was my favorite part. I was in marching band, volleyball, chamber choir, basketball, and the musical. I love when I’m in these things because it’s always more fun when I’m working on something with a group than working at something by myself.
I also had amazing teachers. I really liked Mrs. Cooper. She is also my advisory teacher, which is probably for the best. As for friends, well, I found out this year that my true friends were. Sometimes you never really know if people are your friends because they sometimes only want something from you or just act like if because they feel sorry for you or because it will make them look good. I found out that on the sports teams, you can never really trust many of the girls on there because they all want something for themselves. The people I can trust the most are from the band hallway because we all have the same things in common and everything else. The band hallway is my home away from home. You can always feel safe there, for some reason.
I also like how I was able to keep my best friends through the year, which means I can pick um right. Haha! My best friends throughtout this year were, out of the girls, : Liz(she’s been my best friend my whole life and I’m really lucky that we still are, she’s always there for me), Andrea (she amazing!), and Sarah(even though towards the end of the year we didn’t get to hang out that much we are still able to be there for each other). Out of the guys, : Timmy (we have been close friends all year and I know he was always there for me, and we are now in a relationship and we have a good foundation which is amazing, I’m so glad I realized it), Rudy ( he always listened to me even when he didn’t want to, plus he was always there to drive me home from band night’s out), and Joey (he helped me through my christian walk, I don’t think he knew but he helped me through that and I’m very thankful to have a friend like him.)
All in all, freshman year was probably the best year ever! I doubt that next year or the year after that will be able to top it, but who knows. God always surprises me (:

Entry #15 - You're almost there
Yes! Finally, it’s summer! We’ve been waiting for summer ever since the first day of school. The only reason any of us went to school was so that we could see our friends. Since we all live in different towns and some are farther away from others, we hardly get to see each other in the summer if we are not able to drive.
This summer, I am going to be very, very busy. All of my summers are very busy because I am in so many activities so I need to train for all of them.
June
The first two weeks, I will be starting my job at Froggy’s. I will also be getting everything ready for my mission trip with my youth group. We will be going to New Orleans. A whole week with my group, it’s going to be amazing!!!!!
When we get back from there, the next week bible school will be starting. Andrea & I are going to be co-teachers of a 3rd grade class and we will for sure have some problems because they are little kids, but we are both pretty much adored by all of the kids that go to the bible school anyways.
July
I will be celebrating the 4th of July in my town. Our town always has a bunch of rides and activities. I always have fun, and most of the time, I get sick because there is so much good junk food and they are only there for 2-3 days so there’s no much food, but so little time. The 5th, we’re having the whole family over to my house because part of my family will be here from Indiana and no one ever gets to see them so I will need to clean up the house a lot for that. A week after that, I will have a volleyball camp to go to with the varsity team because they are asking me to go with them since, most likely, next year I will be playing on that team. As soon as I am done with that camp, I will be heading down to the Ozarks with my family for our vacation. Liz’s family always goes down too, so I have my favorite two families there, mine and the Wittrig’s.
The week after that…………BAND CAMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HAHA, Yes, I am a band geek. We are amazing at what we do and people always say that we are all retarded, but we have fun and love what we do so it pays off. 8 o’clock in the morning until around 8 o’clock at night is how much time we spend practicing and working towards getting what we want out of our show for the next year. It’s so much work but we have so much fun with it.
August
August will definitely not be as hectic as other months, but it will be fun. Just winding down and getting ready for another school year. I will probably be down in the Ozarks at our condo and be swimming and I will most likely be bringing groups of friends down with me. Volleyball will eventually start sometime in August.
Marching Band
I will be doing things for marching band all summer. There was too much to put in each month so I thought I’d just put it all together here. Practices will be at least twice a week out at the school. We will be in many parades every which way. We will be working hard all summer, improving our skills and growing in our friendships. We will have to start thinking about how we will lose the seniors at the end of the year, but we will try not to think about it because it will take all the fun out of everything. This coming year, we have a new band director. His name, what we will call him, will be Podey! We can’t wait until we get to start another season of marching band!
Here & There
I will be working, hanging out with people, shopping, making as many trips to our condo as possible and relaxing. (: Wish me luck !!!!

Entry #14 - Hit The Jackpot
If I won $10 million in the lottery, I would definitely give haft the money to St. Jude Children’s Hospital. For one, there are so many kids that are sick. Every single day, there are more and more kids diagnosed with a cancer or become severely sick. St Jude is a very good center. It helps the kids through their sickness, they don’t just say, “Hey, this is what you have, this is what we are going to, and we’ll see you later, Bye!” They actually care about the kids and they use so much money on the kids because they understand that kids are important.
I would also give at least 5 thousand dollars to World Vision, which is a Christian program that helps kids from around the world that need help. Through the program, you can adopt a kid and pay for them to live. I would adopt as many kids as I could because I know I will never be able to imagine what they are going through. It’s one of thee greatest programs ever created. www.worldvision.com
I would also donate some money to help animals in need.
Why would I ever need that much money? I would just get a big head and be spoiled and that is not how I want to live my life. I have a great life and (most of the time) I have no complaints at all.
Of the $10 million, I would only keep maybe $10 thousand and put in in my savings account because someday I might need it. I really have nothing that I could buy at the moment. The only thing I would buy right away with my share of that money is a 400 dollar camera because I’ve been saving up for that.
Kids are the future. Even though I am still a kid, there are people younger than me and I don’t want any to end up on the wrong road. (:
