Carpe Diem, seize the day!
I loved this movie.Every word that was spoken was pure genius. The teacher actually cared about his students, and went out of his way to show them what poetry was really about. "O, Captain, My Captain" this is what the students would say when they addressed their teacher Mr. Keating. He taught them to look at the world in a new way. Mr. Keating would always go beyond what the school wanted him to do.
He introduced something so special to these group of boys. The dead poet's society allowed that group of guys to bond and to feel poetry flow through them like blood in their veins. The end of this movie sends chills up my spine, the way the class showed how much they loved their teacher. To show him that they knew it wasn't his fault. To show Mr. Keating that he meant something to them.
Carpe Diem, Seize the day!

Dr.Seuss
-"Be who you are and say what you feel, because those
who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind"
-"Today you are you, that is truer than true.
there is no one alive who is youer than you."
-"Don't cry because it is over, smile
because it happened."
-"I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells.
Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living,
It's a way of looking at life through the wrong end
of a telescope. Which is what I do, And that enables
you to laugh at life's realities."
-"I meant what I said, and I said what I meant.
An elephant's faithful, one hundred percent"
-"Unless someone like you cares a whole awful
lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not."
Softball Season
Finally, i get to start playing the sport i love the most.
It's like a drug just to be able to put on my uniform and step onto that field.
This year, we had some unfortunate things happen. Many people were beginning to get hurt, and some very ill. It really made me feel unsure about how well we will do this year, when we got the news that our #1 short-stop Chelsea had mono, and that she would not be able to practice with us until spring break. My jaw literally dropped when we got that news. Don't get me wrong, our other senior does a good job at trying to lead us. So I'm just going to keep telling myself:
"Somewhere behind the athlete you've become and the hours of practice and the coaches who have pushed you is a little girl who fell in love with the game and never looked back... play for her."
Mia Hamm
All i can do is pray, pray that we are able to come out of this season victorious!
it is all for the love of the game! <3

I miss youu
The day was January 5th, 2010....a.k.a. the worst day of the year thus far. This was the day you packed up all your things and went to base training, in Mississippi. At first, i was scared that i wouldn't get to see you again, but before you left our conversation was filled with promises of letters and phone calls. The thing is i wouldn't get any of these until march.
Believe it or not, i counted down and now that march is almost here it brings tears to my eyes. Every night i thought about you. i would say to myself, does he still feel the same way? I wondered if you were even the same guy I met 3 years ago.
Even though it will be September before i get to see you again, just the thought of hearing your voice gives me the chills. So every night i will be eagerly waiting by the phone, just waiting to hear you say I love you one more time.

OH THE PLACES YOU'LL GO!
"Congratulations!
Today is your day,
You're off to Great Places!
You're off and away!
You hav brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself
any direction you choose.
You're on your own. And you know what you know.
And YOU are the guy who'll decide where to go.
You'll look up and down streets. Look 'em over with care.
About some you will say, "i dont choose to go there. "
With your head full of brains, and your shoes full of feet,
you're too smart to go down any not-so-good street.
And you may not find any
you'll want to go down.
In that case, of course,
you'll head straight out of town.
It's opener there
in the wide open air.
Out there things can happen
and frequently do
to people as brainy
and footsy as you.
And when things start to happen,
dont worry. Don't stew.
Just go right along.
You'll start happening too.
OH!
THE PLACES YOU'LL GO!"
Mirror Mirror On the Wall
There you are across the room, a reflection I constantly try to avoid.
Mirror, Mirror on the wall you show me who I really am.
I look up and see, automatically
I'm disgusted
Why do we judge our self so harshly?
I see my face, so blemished with freckles.
My eyes too close, my nose to wide, and my forehead to long.
So fed up with this outward appearance, I begin to look beneath my skin.
Mirror, mirror on the wall show me who I really am.
Now when I look up, I see determination.
I see a soul and eyes full of love.
NO longer will I compare myself to the "image"
Now when I look in the mirror, I see nothing but beauty, because I know this is how the Good Lord made me.
Mirror, Mirror on the wall, thank you for showing me who I really am.
