Music

I'm like any other teenager. I love music! I love singing with songs on the radio or singing a long at church. Sometimes I get looked at strange just for how loudly I sing. But it shouldn't matter if I sing loud or soft a lot or not at all. I also am in band at school I have been in it since I was in 6th grade. Some express themselves through their clothes others through dance. I express myself through music and writing.

Never Give Up

We are reading a book in my English class right now called "Fault in Our Stars." It's about this girl who has cancer. It started in one area and spread to another. She fell in love with this boy who has bone cancer. They never give up on themselves or each other. They didn't let the fact that they had cancer stop them from living their lives. This is how we should all live our lives. Never letting anything get us down. Yeah we experience heart ache or loss sickness or pain but that doesn't mean we have to give up.

Gospel Meeting

Our gospel meeting started today. Our speaker is James Rogers. This morning his lesson was on Footprints of Jesus Where do they Lead? He is an amazing speaker. Please join us if you have the chance.

High School Life

Being in high school is hard. People get bullied and left out. Some change just to seem cool. People say high school is when you find yourself or figure out who you really are but I honestly don't think it is. People change in high school to make themselves blend in with everyone else. You hardly ever find someone who remains true to themselves during this period of their life. I wrote a poem last year as a freshman that really relates to this topic:

Cliques,rumors, and lies are all apart of the high school life
Clothes that are in and out make certain kids feel left out
People changing because they want to be cool
Only make them look like fools.
Stay true too yourself and that's all you'll need, your the only person you need to please 

Taking Test

Yesterday we took the Bible bowl and Pearls test. I love taking them because it challenges me to learn more about the Bible. 

Our Youth Group

Our youth group is like no other. We have three babies, nine little kids, and one teenager. We are all always here for each other and willing to help when is necessary. I love these kids like they are my brothers and sisters. We support each other and just like to have fun. These kids are a big encouragement to me whether they realize that or not. I hope they all continue to grow as Christians.

Family

Do you have a big family? I know I do! My family is so big there are people I don't even know. We try to have a family get together at least once every month. We might fuss and argue sometimes but we still love each other. All families have their problems. Nobody's family is perfect. The thing we need to keep in mind though is that families are suppose to be there for each other no matter what. If you don't have your family then who do you have??
