Worst school shooting in the HISTORY of the United States.
_________________________________________________________________________________

Today Rachel's brother, Craig Scott, gave us a presentation about Rachel's message.

"I have this theory that if one person can go out of their way to show compassion then it will start a chain reaction of the same."

Compassion. If one person, says one little nice, kind thing about another, it'll start a reaction. You will make that person feel good.

I can't tell you how many people I connected with today.

I was moved. I was in awe. I bawled. I cried my eyes out. My eyeliner was all over my face.

Craig brought us a story of a girl who was killed. Who was killed before she had a chance to do the things we all will do. He brought us the story of himself.

Craig was in the library where the worst was happening. He saw his best friends die. He saw his friend Isaiah, who was black, being abused about it by the shooters, seconds before they shot him. Killed him.

Craig told us, to always be kind. To show a little compassion. To never underestimate what you have. Treat people well.

I cried today. I bawled, as I said. Because, that story, hearing it from someone who is such a good speaker, from someone who was there, experienced it. Just hearing his words.

Today, was the most inspiring, happiest, life-changing day, of my existence.

I encourage ALL of you, to go to http://www.rachelschallenge.org/ and challenge yourself. Ask you teachers to book an event. Ask them. You never know until you try.

I promise you, it will be the best experience you will ever have.

RIP:

Rachel Joy Scott.

The Life Of A Teenaged Band Nerd.

So..you guys wanted a blog post. Here you go(:

So on Friday I had my football game against Putnam City West. I left the house in my God awful uniform, pedratric shoes, cut-up gloves, too small hat, and broken pride. BAHAHA DO YOU GUYS REALIZE HOW IRONICLY FUNNY "BROKEN PRIDE" WAS!! Our band is called the Pride of Broken Arrow!! BAHAHA that was funny..I'm weird.

Anyways, my friend Kristin and I were driving there, and another band nerd in a crappy jeep, rear-ended us. So we laughed and made faces at him. We arrived at the high school and I felt stupid because I had no clue what I was doing.

So we got into set and we did a couple run-throughs of the pre-game show. I was so nervous, I stepped off wrong, sweat was dripping down my back, and I felt like a loser.

Then we walked and played down the field and the same guy who said this at the last game goes, "Free hot dogs if you step out of line!" I laughed..and totes should have stepped out of line.

So we ran to the ends of the field and waited..then..it was time. The percussion started us..and we were off. We ran, we played, we screamed, we danced, we yelled BA! PRIDE!, we were epic. (":

Got into the stands after the pre-game show was over and I was awesome. I played every song, danced the songs we were supposed to dance on, got everyone peppy, got free food. I loved it.

BAND NERDS UNITE!!!

So..school tomorrow. I don't want to go. I'm sick.



Well..I'm a lazy person but..longer..better..picturifyed blog post tomorrow. Farewell my friends.

So..Girlies.

Hello, people of earth and beyond.

So..I got my new phone today. It's a Samsung Gravity. I LOVE it. I named it Justin Ralph Taylor. Very cool.

I straightened my best friend's hair today. It was work.

I bought the entire Percy Jackson boxed set and a Hunger Games 2012 movie poster. It's AMAZING.

I love my Twitter friends. They're so nice and sweet.

It's Homecoming Week. Today was "Favorite Team" day. Tomorrow is "Nerd Day". I'm wearing plaid and a tie. I already have glasses soo..(; Then tomorrow is "Favorite Character" day. Then it's "Twinkie Day" where dress alike with one or more people. Then it's "Tiger Pride" day. We're the Broken Arrow Tigers so we wear BA stuff. Done. I'll wear my band shirt. It's a nice shirt.

Well...a bunch of my favorite books are coming out. And so are some awesome movies. Like Abduction. I SO wanna see that.

xoxoxoxoxoxo

My Life Is DONE.

Everyone. From. My. School. Got. A. Twitter.

I found my real friends on there. The ones who care. And now these b*tches are ruining for me. Twitter was my way to be myself without drama from the people at my school. A way to escape reality and fangirl with people I don't know but like waaay better than the people I do know. And now I can only hope they don't find me. If they do..

Here's to being pressured, forced, and to saying goodbye to myself.

I think I'm going to puke.

So..DUDES!!

Sup'. Dudes, I was in this huge storm yesterday coming home from a friend's house, and it was like 9 and super drak and stroming and hailing. And I thought I was gonna die. To make matter worse before I got in the car I tripped and scraped my feet, my knee, and my hands. It hurts. I was listening to Justin Bieber in the car (Down To Earth) and praying and I would've gona insane if it weren't for him. And to my cousin Soumbal who will end up yelling at me for saying that: Get over it. You're not a Belieber. You don't get it. Don't be an uptight granny(: Love youss<3

Haha well I have a huge list of things I need/want:

Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children
Divergent
Never Have I Ever
a Nike drawstring bag
a locker lock for my band locker
Seventeen mag
Adidas sweats
new Fila shoes

Epic FAIL.

 So I tried to take a picture of my in my Gawd awful band uniform. Here's whate happened: I got the digital camera ready, made my hair look semi decent by curling it, got into the uniform. The camera didn't work. I went down to get my mother's camera. The lens was small. So I switched it out for a longer one. Then I got the picture. But I can't find the cord so I can downlaod the picture. So now I'm mad. It was stupid.

 So two days in a row I haven't had homework. It was great. But I felt like I didn't have a life without worring about homework so I did an extra credit assignment.

 I haven't read anything in ages.

 iCarly is coming up with a new season and Gibby's voice is so much deeper, he's gotten taller, he's not as fat, he looks..GOOD(:

 I'm painting my room tomorrow.

 I need to sleep in before I die.

 I have a stupid project in English.

I really miss Pretty Little Liars. It's like my life has died. I am dead right now. I will be reborn in October.

 I hate the kids in Pride because they all pretent to hate it and act like they're better than the rest of us. And they whine. And they're rude. I hate them.

 I want to be a child again.

O_o

I. Am. Bored. And tired. And bored. I need a new book to read. If someone wants to buy me Never Have I Ever by Sara Shepard, I'd be eternally grateful.
So..I need a laptop. Which is why I need to get all A's this year and I'll get one. It'll be epic. Plus I'm getting my new phone the day before a football game I have to play in.
UGH!! I got my uniform. It's..ugly. It's black and white and I look like a burnt marshmallow. The hat is huge and feathery and UGLY. It's shapeless and makes my butt look huge. Put it this way..it has SHOULDER PADS.
Nuff' said.
