Yellow Star

1. Getting a certificate from Billy Long for my painting- This was an awesome experience in my life not only did I win something but I also got to shake hands with Billy Long a Congressman of MO and being able to hear his speech about all the art work. Was a great day for me.
2. Getting my drivers license- Although it took me 3 times to pass my test I finally past with an 80. once I got it I felt more calmer knowing I could go drive to school, practice, go on dates, shopping, so it was really nice.
3. Buying my very first heifer- It was a December baby and I had been working at the Grimms farm to pay off some of the money she was worth. I worked there for about 3 months so when the time was right I was so excited on bringing "Twilite" home with me! This is how my whole life changed with animals is when I first got her and being able to call her mine at shows. She taught me more about Brown Swiss as I watched her everyday. And she helped me become one of the best showman in the nation.
4. Winning the Senior showmanship at the Brown Swiss Nationals- I was only 16 years old when I resaved this, with about 18 older kids competing against me. I was so happy with my self and my heifer "Jamie" just being able to beat older kids for showmanship really made me feel so happy and love showing Brown Swiss. It made me have a stronger relationship with her and showing period.
5. Getting a plaque from my basketball coach for free-throws- I have always worked on being better at shooting free throws even when I was younger. I have made a college coach impressed with my abilities to shoot free-throws by beating a high school girl during camp when I was only in middle school. So when I got this it really made me understand how working on something can get you somewhere in life.
6. Winning State for the 4by2 my freshman year- Our 4by2 relay are Emily, me, Bailee, and Krishna. Just being a freshman and getting on the podium for the very first time with gold medals around our neck was such an amazing feeling. Knowing that we were the best in state for that relay just really had me surprised! I was so speechless when this happen was really the best day of track I had ever experience!
7. Wining an art project: This made me feel very happy that I can color something and do very good at it. And how I will continue on doing art and loving it.
8. Getting my Boxer when I was in 2nd grade: I love my dog very much. He is 9 years old today. I have had him all my life and have built a strong relationship with him. He's always there when I need him and he always makes me feel happier as I play/hold him everyday. He is truly my Best friend and the best dog I will ever have.
9. Seeing Coach Weatherly's shield outside by a trash can. This made me feel sad knowing that it was his personal shield he had always had inside of his room. It made me feel great to be able to pick it up and bring it home. I feel know I have a piece of him not only in my heart but always with me to see forever.
10. Going to the temple for the first time: When ever I went to a temple for the first time I knew I was doing the right thing towards life. It made me feel so happy that I knew I felt the spirit walking in the temple. I will never forget these moments when I enter the temple, and so I hope some day I will get married in one.

One Medium Suitcase!

So, I am being taken away from all of my family, friends, and home, going to some place unknown where there is no technology or power at all. What would I take with me if all I could take is a medium sized suitcase (24x12x10 inches)?

This is what I would take:
1. Food!
2. Running/walking shoes.
3. Knife.
4. lots of pictures: baby picture, family, mom and dad, pictures of me in sports and showing.
5. Hair brush/hair tie.
6. Moms sweatshirt I like to wear.
7. Heifers colorful halter.
8. My 2 fancy blankets I won from showing.
9. Take one of my favorite plaques I have won.
10. Something that would remind me of Coach Weatherly.

Food: I love food! It keeps me busy/happy. When I get nervous food gets my mind off of things so if I ever get bad headaches from stressing out to much food will always make me feel better.
Running/walking shoes: I am an active girl. I like to explore things so if am going to a new place shoes will always be helpful for me. They will bring back memories for me to think about when there is no one to talk to.
Knife: My knife has always helped me with things. Its a good thing to always have around you, to open things, or to protect my self. If I were to be going to a new place am going need some what of protection.
Lots of pictures: I would want to take my baby picture, picture of my family, mom and dad, and anything else that I did because it will always feel like those memories will always be with me. If I ever feel sad they will help me get in a better mood and keep my motivation high.
Hair brush/hair tie: I always like brushing my hair, it makes me feel better once I brush it and make my hair all soft and healthy. It will help me get my hair out of my face if I were to do something big.
Moms sweatshirt: This will always keep me comfortable when I need it the most in life. This will help me remember the sweet smell of my mom for a while just to get me through my life. It will also put a smile on my face when I need in times.
Heifer colorful halter: This will help me remember the great memories I had while showing and being with my animals. It makes me happy to think about them and have a good thought in mind when ever I feel down. Plus this is a rope so If I ever need it for something it will help me lots.
My 2 Fancy blankets I won from showing: These will keep me warm and happy since I will be in a new place. They will help me remember the past when I showed my heifers.
Take one of my favorite plaques I have won.: this will help me have joy in life knowing that I can do anything I wanted to that was safe for me. I found out that showing was very fun and was very glad I had started showing. so if life brings me a challenge like this I should take it.
Something that would remind me of coach: Coach has always influenced me in my middle school life. I always looked up to him since he was my favorite and the best teacher ever. Many people know him and have experience many stories with me. this will help me keep in touch of him throughout my struggles in life.

Synetics

Which is wiser? a pen or pencil?
I say for school a pencil is more wiser, because most kids make mistakes. Your able to change your writing much easier then a pen.
Which is more difficult? a dream or a nightmare?
I think a dream is more difficult because most of my dreams are very weird and would never happen in real life so it seems more difficult to understand them.
Which has more pride? an entrance or an exit?
More pride to me will be the entrance, because as you enter your able to learn something new and always strive to do good in life.

I like all of my friends. I like how I can be friends with about anyone I meet. Having friends around is always good to have, especially if your feeling down and are in need for someone.

I would say art. I love everything about it, you can always see joy into ones art work. You can also feel happiness towards a drawing or picture.

The truth is always the best to know. Knowing that you can trust someone is like a valentine because you will always feel complete.
Which is like a legend? A mirror or glass?
To me a mirror is more of a legend because you can have to mirrors facing each other and look at your self and your husband and always see them for on and on. There is no end to both of you.
Which is like a contest? a cloud or a sunset?
I think cloud have contest all the time since they are constantly moving different direction. Touching and causing storms just like people playing sports involve with each other and sometimes cause fights.

A calendar to me is much smarter knowing what the days are with the time of month and year.
