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.
