Light The Night!

So this is something I like to share with people, I raise money for the Light The Night walk. The Light The Night walk is a walk to raise money for Leukemia and Lymphoma. This walk is something I am very involved in, last year I raised over $500. I am super thankful for the people that have supported me with this. My goal this year is to raise $2500. I know big leap there.

I am a very country girl. I am stuck in the middle of a city, way out of my comfort zone. I love horses, even though I have a tendency to call them ponies. I love horses, I know how to ride and very badly want to enter competitions. I have always loved this city, I have always lived here. I have never lived on a farm, I still am way out of my comfort zone. I am ready for this challenge..... This my be hard, but I can do it!

Something my friend suggested I could do was have a fundraiser involving horses. Neither of us know how, but well figure it out.

So as fundraising goes I haven't started yet. I hope to soon. I also hope to recruit more people for the actual walk. You can go look at the website right here! Feel free to contact me if you would like. I am more than willing to talk to you about the walk, or anything. :)

Happy

Being happy doesn't mean everything is perfect, it just means you have decided to smile through the imperfections. I am in complete agreement.

Everyone cant be happy all the time. But I know it is better for everyone if there is that one person you can always count on to be happy. That person is me! I am a happy kid, I just am, no reason. I can tell you that nothing in my life is picture perfect. I have to develop from the negative. Which I do everyday.

I have an obsession with puzzles. I don't know. I love all puzzles, as long as they have a ton of pieces. I just got a new one with a whole lot of different birds, 750 pieces! I will post a pic when it is done. Yea! Puzzles calm me down. I don't know why, they just do. Most of my friends just get super frustrated. Not this chick.

I am super happy right now, really. No faking. I have gotten to do so much that I wanted to do this week and last weekend. My dad is amazing. There is never a dull moment with him. So I got a new watch the other day. I had no idea how to work it. So I gave the watch and directions to my dad. He starts mumbling to himself, something about how I cant read this tiny print, only a kid could read this, what about the old people. Any way, I end up reading the directions to him, he repeats every word like this: "press and hold B" "Press and hold B, which button is B" This continued for a half hour then he magically goes "I got it !" He did, now my watch works!

I have to go make brownies. Bye Luvs!

Good Times

Life is like a camera, focus on whats important, capture the good times, develop from the negative, and if it doesn't work out, take another shot.

I have got all of my pictures uploaded from my camera. Normally I will wait till all 712 pictures are taken and I have to upload them. This time I only waited until 556. It still took me a while. I love photography. I take incredibly good pictures and am hoping to get a new camera soon. Life is a bigger picture than just the one thing that happened.

I haven't been able to do alot of things recently. Physically that is.So I have started taking photos of everything. The trees, flowers, the sky, anything. I haven't gotten to the whole editing stage yet. I have tryed but am not good. The camera I have is amazing, and I love it. I got it a few years ago, I am still trying to figure out what all the buttons do. I don't do the whole people picture thing. I take photos of animals and nature and things. Not people. I hate how girls do the dumb duck face thing. No, not attractive. I refuse to either do that or take a picture of it. It is the stupidest thing ever.

My asthma is super bad at the moment, with the hacking and nasty stuff included. Yea, ewww! I do not like the coughing either. I feel like a disturbance when I do. Especially when were doing family things, and everyone stops to let me cough. I know that's just what happens or whatever, but it is annoying.

Life is to short to focus on the negative. There is no need to. Just get up and make a new positive, an joy life. I have learned that if you sit and moop about the bad things you wont have any time to enjoy the good things. I like to do things that most people would definitely hesitate on doing. There is one thing I am not a huge fan of that took me a little while to try, roller coasters. I have learned that is the opportunity comes, why not take it. I would rather know I tryed it and didn't like it then regret that I didn't try it at all.

Let me leave everyone with a happy face!

More than Mistakes

You are more than the mistakes you've made.

There isn't much more to say, but there is a story behind it. Something I will never forget. I had done something that I shouldn't have. Anyway everyone was mad at me, this was like 3 or 4 years ago. That was the first time my dad or sister had ever yelled at me. I remember my sister a hour latter came over to me while I was in tears she said "I still love you, nothing will ever change that." My dad later that night came into my room and sat down and gave me this whole long speech about how what I did was wrong and that I should never do that again. But at the end of it he tells me, " Cam I love you. You are bigger than the mistakes you've made." This was one of those time I didn't feel like it.

That quote has become a reminder over the years that no matter what I do my dad and sister will always love me. I always know that no matter what I can talk to them.

I have made a big mistake that I don't know if I can fix. I got so far behind in all my classes. I mean I got caught up, but I don't think that was good enough. I very afraid of my report card. I don't know how anyone is going to respond. I can legitimately say this is the most afraid I have ever been of telling my dad something. Wish me luck.

Life Is Not Measured By The Number Of Breaths You Take But By The Moments That Take Our Breath Away

Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take but by the moments that take our breath away. I absolutely love the quote. I even have it framed on my wall. I enjoy those moment that you just cant say anything, those moments that mean the world, those moments that will last a life time, those take your breath away moments. I love them...... We have no way of knowing what might happen tomorrow, but if you go ahead and try have 1 take your breath away moment a week I think that's good. I try to look at the positive side of things. Sometimes there isn't I will admit.

My life is insane. In a good way. I have finally caught up on all the school work I missed, thank god. I am trying to get over this cold thing. My asthma isn't very good right now. Speaking of which, I got my new gym teacher. Hes pretty cool. I don't like explaining I have asthma. I feel like I'm complaining, and when I do it makes me sound weak. So I had this very awkward conversation with my new teacher about it. The first thing he said was, "Well what do you want me to do go easy on you?" So he kind of screamed this at me, in the hall way in front of everyone. I mean he was sarcastic, but not the point. I cant deal with being yelled at. I get very upset and start crying. I don't like it when people get mad at me. I have this thing with people not liking me. I want everyone to like me, I need everyone to like me. Any way so he said it was fine and just let him know if I need to stop.

I know my limits, most of the time. I know them, and sometimes don't care. I don't think I should be the one to make myself stop. I know that sounds really stupid, like she should be able to stop herself. I know what I can and cant do. That's not the problem, the problem is that I will push myself until I get to the point that no one can do anything and I end up having to go to the E.R. So I don't think I should be the one who makes the decision of what I can do and when I need to stop.

Those crazy people

The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do-Steve Jobs. I think I might just keep starting my posts like this.....a quote of the day thing. I really like this one, one of my friends showed it to me. I hope that some day I will be able to say I helped change the world. A goal I try to put in action everyday. As many of you know, Steve Jobs was the founder of Apple, and died last year. I don't necessarily want to do what he did, but I want to make an impact like he did. I hope to some day know that I had an impact on someones life.

I want to be a nurse so incredibly bad, so I have been thinking of what kind of nurse. I think I have it narrowed down to 3. The first on my list is a pediatric nurse, I really want to work with kids. The next one is an Emergency Room nurse. Nothing specific about it, just the fast pace of it. The last is one of those Life Flight nurses. I have never ridden on a helicopter which might be good to try.

My freshmen focus class had like 15 people come in to talk to us about careers. Not a single one that I was interested in. I have my mind decided. Unusual for a freshmen? Yes. I am aware. This isn't just a phase, this is something that isn't going to change. Just like my dog thing its not a phase.

Have you ever wished your life was set to music? I know I have, and right now I am listening to Phillip Phillips- Home. Love that song. It feels perfect right now. A hope full song. Things are looking up for me, just have to get past report cards.

The toughest opponent

At the start of each day I remind myself my toughest opponent is in the mirror. Yes as weird as that sounds it is true. Your biggest opponent is you. When you finally accept that and know it then you can conquer it. But until you realize the only opponent you have to beat is you, you wont be as success full. This is on my bathroom mirror...... Which leads me to my next thing. I saw someone do a thing about what they have on there wall. Well I will tell you one of my walls, in my room of course:

• High School Musical Pendent- My best friends mom bought it for me at Disney on Ice
• Carolina Hurricanes Pendent- My dad bought this for me when we went to the final play off game before they won the Stanley Cup in 2006
• My Middle school Pendent- Came with the PTA sign up sheet
• A Ceramic Butterfly and Dragonfly- I happened to actually paint both of those, cool right
• A Tutu- This is the first tutu I wore in a recital
• My Old Dance Shirt- The shirt from the dance place I used to go to
• Letter C- Made of cardboard with these pretty purple and pink flowers

I think that's it. So yep, whats on your wall? I like doing that, I might have to do another one for another wall. Who knows.

Ryan Lochte said the quote I mentioned above, I happen to adore him as well. I saw him win almost all of his races at the Olympics last year. So let me leave you with a question...... Who is your favorite athlete?

How much Influence do your parents have?

So my English teacher has these journal prompts that I absolutely love, so I will be doing alot of them as posts.

How much influence do your parents have?

My parents have a huge deal of influence on me. Good example here. My dad loves cars. When I was like 3 or 4 my dad took me outside to help him. So began my love affair with cars. (Song quote there) Yea, my parents have a ton of influence on me. I think my softball obsession came from him. For my 5th birthday my dad bought me my first bat. I had gone to every softball game he played in. I was there little cheerleader. So when he couldn't play anymore he decided to coach my team. I though it was the coolest thing ever....... my dad the coach! Another really good example, my love of photography. My dad used to take these amazing photos and he would always tell me that someday he wanted one of his photos published. So I am working on becoming that good. My mom has an example to, she had an obsession with cooking so I became a fairly good cook. That's another thing I continue to work on.

So how much influence do/did your parents have on you?

McDonald's

Howdy!

So we watched this movie in health today. Showing how meat is made, where it comes from and such forth. Well I already knew all this. My older sister is a health nut, she sent me this article about whats really in fast food. So of course I have to keep going with that.... Whats in the food we eat everyday? I believe in organic food, not feeding animals corn, and actually letting them eat grass.

In case you didn't know, those big meat packaging companies feed the animals corn. They do this because its cheep. I have a problem with this. They also keep theses chickens in long cage type things. They do not have room to walk, so there legs become crippled and they can barley walk a few steps. They also feed theses animals antibiotics. When doing this we eat that, which means we get the antibiotics. Well the more antibiotics you take the less effective they are. So meat companies, like Tyson, are hurting us.

Another important thing I found out is the McDonald's, as of a year ago, didn't have real chicken. I recommend you read this article right here. If you read all of it, it goes into saying how there is lighter fluid and petroleum in the chicken. Seriously read it. I don't eat fast food, OK, I eat Chick-Fil-A, and sometimes Bojangles. But the point is meat companies and fast food companies are nasty.

Stubborn

Hey!

Strong people always have there lives together. Even with tears in there eyes, they manage to say; "I'm okay" with a smile on there face. In no ways do I consider myself a very strong person. I am strong, but not strong enough to smile through the tears. I can smile through all the pain, but when I break down and cry there is no smiling. I have been there, it has happened at home, it has happened at school. In no way do I consider myself that strong.

I have a bad problem with being stubborn. I have always been this way, I get it from my dad. I do not like taking help. I am very set in my ways, I am happy with myself. I am sure there are people like this that agree. My dad and I will struggle to do something for hours before we ask for help, or end up hurting our selves. Yea, not the best idea.

Right now I am trying to convince my dad that we should get a dog. He keeps saying that there expensive, I wont take care of it, stupid stuff. Well the dog I want, his name is Harley. I told my dad hes perfect because, he is a good running companion, his name is Harley, hes just awesome. I keep doing the name thing because my dad loves Harley's, he had one that he used to call his "baby". It would be a challenge though, I am allergic to animal hair, dogs and cats. I also don't keep my room super clean so he might eat some stuff in there. Any way that is a work in progress.

We don't like what we don't understand, in fact it scares us, and this monster is mysterious at least

Hey!

 We don't like what we don't understand, in fact it scares us, and this monster is mysterious at least..... That comes from beauty and the beast. People are like that. What the don't understand they don't like. I do not agree with it. There are many things I don't understand but still like. Like I don't understand why the sky is blue, but I still like the sky and still like the color blue. People can be very rude when they don't understand things. I have experienced this many time, not only with asthma but with life in general.

For a true hero isn't measured by the size of his strength, but by the strength of his heart. This is another one of my favorite quotes. This one comes from Hercules. It rings out load and clear. I have a tendency to write it on my papers and on my white board and repeat it all the time. A true hero isn't physically strong. They have to be emotionally strong and able. I love this one very much!

 

In case you couldn't tell I love Disney. It all started when I was 3, my dad put in beauty and the beast. This is my favorite movie of all time. I remember her yellow dress and I told my dad I wanted one. Then magically one appeared, right on my bed one morning. Of course I wore it everywhere. Then I became fascinated with the princess. I wanted to be belle, more then anything in the world. I wanted to find my prince charming. I still do. I want to dance with him in a huge ballroom. I want to wear that yellow dress at my wedding, I want the golden colors everywhere. I want to know that I can have a good wedding, with my prince charming. I just want to know Ill be ok.
