Hello Readers:
"Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave?
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall
But watching you stand alone?
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow
One step closer
[Chorus:]
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
Time stands still
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything take away
What's standing in front of me
Every breath
Every hour has come to this
One step closer"
~Christina Perri~
These lyrics mean the world to me right now
I want to tell him, but I am afraid.
Tune in Friday for details.
Love,
Alyssa

What A Day
Hello Readers:
Today I would like to emphasize the importance of volunteering & describe my HORRIBLE DAY!
Initially when I talk to the students I mentor about volunteering and its importance, I start off by saying the very inspiring quote :
"Vision without action is a daydream. Action without vision is a nightmare."
~Japanese Proverb~
What does this mean?
It is basically saying that if you have a vision of something you want to do, it will stay a daydream if you don't take action; however, if you take action without having a clear vision of what you want to do, there will be a disaster movie ending.
Then I segue into telling them about the many benefits of volunteering such as:
These kids inspire me to believe in myself!
Now readers, my horrible day.
Girl drama, basically two words that sum it up! Medusa (that is what we will call her for now) is always getting into things. Whether it is drugs or other people's business, she is in it! Well you know from my previous post I was sick and away from school; however, the next day i find out she had been talking about me in a negative way WHILE I was sick and in urgent care,
I was talking to one of my good friends about the anti biotic I was on, Medusa came in with the ever so wonderful comment of:
"I am on Heroin? Whats the difference?"
My nostrils flared and I bit my tongue... I kindly told she needed to mind her own business and stop with all the crap she had been starting (referring to the talking about me). Medusa took it upon herself to threaten to go report me for saying I was going to beat her and such!!!
I confronted her about this situation and she had literally gone insane!!! (*note she has previous juvy records*) Medusa... well she punched a wall and made a big scene, SCREAMING at me when I never once raised my voice to her.
Tune in to find out what happens next... (Because tomorrow I go back to school)
Love,
Alyssa

- Learn or develop a new skill
- Be part of your community
- Motivation and sense of achievement
- Boost your career options
- New interests and hobbies
- New experiences
- Meeting a diverse range of people
These kids inspire me to believe in myself!
Now readers, my horrible day.

What To Do When You Are Sick
Hello Readers,
Today is 1/22/13 and I am sick. I had to stay hom from school because my mother thinks I have tonsillitis. WHEN you are sick.... catching up any missed assignments can be a pain! Here is a list of steps to take when you are blessed with the wonderful sickness.
Step 1: Have your parents contact your school so you are not accused of skipping school
Step 2: Email ALL your teachers; asking them if there is anything they did in class that you need to know and what is due the next day.
Step 3: REST : If you want to feel better you need sleep.
Side Notes: Stay off of any social media and drink LOTS of water!
Love,
Alyssa

Introduction
Hello Readers,
My name is Alyssa and I am at the crazy age of fifteen! Let me tell you something... when you are balancing seven public school classes (four of them being honors), three online classes, sports, volunteer hours and social life; it can get a wee bit crazy! Sleep becomes the past and grades become the future! High-School can be a pain in the buttox; however, it is your layout for college. This is my life. I play volleyball and now I am in marching band/concert band, and all these classes! I know it sounds like I am pushing myself way to hard, but I need this for success! I would like to become a forensic scientist in the future!
Being a freshman at high school is nice; however, it creates a WHOLE MESS of troubles! I am creating this blog to let you know what to do when certain situations occur... which means these problems have happened to me! This blog might get a little random but it will be on the basis of a fifteen year old high schooler's life! I hope you will enjoy:D Oh and I will blog as often as possible... or whenever I feel you guys should know about something:)
Thanks,
Alyssa
