I Have A Dream

What Up Peeps!!!

POEM BACKGROUND: This poem was actually written by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. It is really a speech that he had made in 1963 at the Civil Rights march in Washington D.C. This is a very popular speech that I'm pretty sure you guys have heard of in your lifetime!! I had chosen this speech to share with you because it is very inspiring and powerful in every way. I love this speech! It shows a lot of pride and dignity beyond belief. It goes to show that if you can dream it, and you believe it, you can achieve it!! So, here is the speech/poem "I Have A Dream"!! Enjoy!!!

I Have A Dream
I say to you today, my friends...
I still have a dream. It is a dream
deeply rooted in the American dream.
I have a dream that one day this nation will
rise up
and live out the true meaning of its creed.
We hold these truths to be self-evident
that all men are created equal.
I have a dream
that one day on the red hills of Georgia
the sons of former slaves and the sons
of former slave-owners will be able
to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.

I have a dream
that one day, even the state of Mississippi,
a state sweltering with the heat of injustice,
sweltering with the heat of oppression,
will be transformed into an oasis
of freedom and justice.
I have a dream
that my four little children will one day
live in a nation where they will not
be judged by the color of their skin
but by the content of their character.
I have a dream today!

I have a dream
that one day down in Alabama, with
its vicious
racists, with its governor having his lips
dripping with the words of interposition
and mullification, one day, right here in Alabama
little black boys and black girls will be able
to join hands with little white boys
and white girls as sisters and brothers.
I have a dream today!

I have a dream...
This is our hope.
This is the faith that I go
back to the South with...

Let freedom ring...!
Allow freedom to ring...!
from every mountainside...!
from every peak...
from every village and every hamlet...
we will be able to join and sing...
"Free at last, free at last;
thank God Almighty, we are free at last."

So, what did you think of this speech?! Pretty powerful, huh?! I think Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s speech did come true! Though there is still a linger of racism in this world, I have realized that this world has progressed since 1963. I mean, really! We now have a Muslim African-American President-the first African-American president EVER!! (Which is Barrack Obama!!!) I've seen people put their differences aside and joined hands to progress on. I truly do love this speech. It goes to show that with time comes improvement!

If you have a speech that you want to share and you want it on my blog, here's my email to contact me about it:
greenorangesinger7@gmail.com
Or, if you go to my school, North Canyon High School, you know that you can talk to me anytime!! Well, Peeps, I better go!! I'll talk to you guys later!!

Happy 19th Birthday Dev Patel!!; Happy 1-Year Anniversary; Celebration For the 50th Blog Post!!!

What Up Peeps!!!

There is a lot to celebrate today, Peeps!! I am completely and utterly excited about this blog post!! So, let's get started on celebrating!!!

First and foremost, I would like to wish an actor from the unforgettable movie, Slumdog Millionaire, a happy birthday today!! His name is Dev Patel-who plays the character Jamal in the 8 Academy Award winning movie, Slumdog Millionaire!!! Today, Dev has turned 19 years old!!! I would personally like to say, "Happy 19th birthday Dev Patel!!! You did an amazing job on Slumdog Millionaire!!! I can't wait to see you in the next upcoming movie, The Last Airbender!!! You are a brilliant actor and I am now one of your biggest fans!!! Keep up the good work!! I do hope and pray that I get to meet you in person!!! I hope you have a great 19th birthday!!! Take care!!!"

Happy 1-Year Anniversary!!! Technically, the one year anniversary was on Sunday the 19th. But, I was a bit busy on Sunday to write this blog post!! The 19th was, indeed, the day that marked the fact that it's been a WHOLE year since I created this blog!! Can you believe it? {chuckle} I remember that during my first blog post ever, I had a crush on Mitchel Musso!! I also remember that I was a freshman back then as well!! Wow!! I've grown up since then, haven't I Peeps? Let's take a moment to reminance over what has happened to me since my first blog post:

• MY CELEBRITY CRUSHES: From April 19th-June 10th 2008, I had a major crush on the actor/singer Mitchel Musso. He stars in the show Hannah Montana and has a movie out that premieres on Disney Channel called Hatching Pete. After seeing the movie, The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, I had found new love. From June 11th 2008-April 11th 2009, I had a huge crush on the British actor Ben Barnes. *GASP* I sort of let the cat out of the bag!! You have just found out that I have a NEW celebrity crush!!! But, I won't tell you who it is just yet!!! See if you can guess who it is!! (Hint: He is Indian-but, has a British accent!)
• MY SCHOOL CRUSHES: I remember that my first high school crush was Alex Bradley A.K.A Oliver!! {chuckle} I swear, he looks just like Mitchel Musso!! Come to find out, I had a crush on him (Alex Bradley) TWICE last year!! It was in the beginning and towards the end of the school year!! It never worked out between us! We were just good as friends!! Now, we are frienemies!! Last time I had seen him was like, I think, in January!! We like to be competitive with each other!! And between you and me, Peeps, I still think he looks sexy!! Then, there was Chris Moore!! *sigh* He is such a great guy-he really is!! He has the sexiest blue eyes I had ever seen!! And I personally thought that he looked like Shia LaBough. I had liked Chris during Thanksgiving Break....and it carried on until about April! We were really great as friends, I think! I need to get back in contact with him soon! I haven't talked to him or seen him since last year. And then we have Adam Silverman! I must've tried to find another crush to get over Alex Bradley because it was an embarrassing ordeal between me and Adam! What had happened was that right before Spring Break, I had given him a note telling him how I felt. After Spring Break, he never returned my note nor talked to me about the situation. I had assumed that that's his way of saying that he just think that we should just be friends. But, boy was I embarrassed. I had actually thought that I had a chance with Adam. Thankfully, I didn't make that crush a HUGE deal in my life. And now, we're up to this years' crushes!! There are two people that I did go out with this year! (One was Andrew Craven-you know him. But, the other one, I will tell you about in a couple of blog posts from now!) This year, I mainly had an "opened-mind" on guys. Meaning, I just focused on school work and if I felt that there was a certain guy that I thought liked me, then I'd focus somewhat on that guy!!
  
• MY FAMILY: When I had started this blog, my family was at a very rocky road! It had all started on May 9, 2008. My dad had went back to Indiana for about a month and 4 days!! It was a temporary separation between my parents!! I was devastated!! I would NEVER want to go back to that day!! I had literally felt like I was in The Twilight Zone!! My dad did come back though. It was on Father's Day weekend!! My whole family was ecstatic-including my baby brother, Jabari, who was only 2 years old then!! It was completely amazing!! And then, the unthinkable had happened. My dad had somehow found out that my mom was DATING another guy while he was gone!! *sigh* The whole family was crumbling down even more!! My dad was soo upset, that he went so far as to rent a condo for the next couple of months!! But, something had pulled my parents aside. Something that would make my parents forget about divorce and moving out!! What was it?-you ask. It was simple: Money!! We became flat broke!! So broke to the fact that my mom had to ask her friend for about, I think it was $200, just so that way she could feed us at home!! It was a nightmare!! Now, my family has bonded even more since that time!! We had just recently moved to a new house and my parents are getting along quite well!! In fact, I don't think 'divorce' is in their brains at all now!! Which is good because happy parents make happy children!! LOL!!
• ME: I have grown tremendously since my first blog post...as you can tell!! My diction has become evident and progressed. I am now allowed to fast because I'm 16 years old!! Since I've started fasting, I see life differently now. I've matured since my first blog post. I've been through some really rough situations this year that's made me valiant and confident in myself. I have also grown to appreciate and love poetry even more than I ever did before!! I don't know if I'm a natural born poet....but, I am striving to be one as we speak!! Poetry has somehow become my diary entries!! Every time I write a poem, I pour my whole heart and soul into it. I treat each and every one of my poems as my very own baby!! I treat it with my utmost respect and care for my poems with great passion. If that's not full dedication, I don't know what is!! Of course, I'm still single! But, I've had numerous crushes along the way! LOL!!

Be excited Peeps!!! This is the 50th blog post!!!! This is a great celebration to be a part of!!! Make sure you tell your friends, family, and people who you don't even know {chuckle} about this blog post!! Thank you Peeps for all of your love and support!!! I love you all!!! ;-)

*Remember*~From a past misfortune, good luck will come to you.

Chemistry and English class

What Up Peeps!!!

As the year is progressing, so is my struggle in Chemistry class!! If any of you Peeps has done Chemistry class, you can understand my frustration!! First of all, I HATE Chemistry!! (As you can see in my profile!) I despise Chemistry with a passion!! And for the simple fact that I have to stay in Chemistry for this last quarter of the year, makes me want to cry in my sleep!! So far, this whole year, I've been getting a 'D' in this class!! That just goes to show how much I hate Chemistry!! For one thing, it is a very hard class to take-especially if it's an HONORS class!! I mean, you have to know the trends of the periodic table, mass-mass equations, oxidation numbers, formulas-and that's not even the half of it!!! It's soo confusing and boring!! I have to MAKE myself like this class!! I had just recently written a poem about Chemistry class!! It's really funny! For any of you who hate Chemistry, then this is the poem for you!! I will most likely show you that poem sometime in the near future!!

Then there's English class!! I honestly love this class. Right now, we are reading a book called Tess of d'Uberville! It's a really good book so far! I'm still in Phase 1 of the book. I'm to where Tess meets Mr. Alec. And between you and me, Peeps, something is not right with Mr. Alec! He seems to be hitting on Tess every minute!! He could possibly win the title of being a womanizer!! We are also getting into the story of Macbeth! I'm not sure what it's about yet because we just got into it yesterday! But, it sound good so far! Along with these classical readings, we also are in the middle of a research project! This is the only part of English class that I do not like! We have to research our literary genre that we picked! And my genre is the Mystery Genre! I'm using my favorite book, Holes, by Louis Sachar, to help support my thesis of this genre! So far, I'm coming along quite well with my research. Our rough draft is due on the 17th of this month. I literally can't wait for this date to come because it means that I'll be done with the research paper for a while!

Well, Peeps, that's it on the 411 of my Chemistry and English class! This quarter will fly by faster than I already know it! I best be going now-for that research paper is calling me to go finish it! I'll talk to you Peeps next time!!

*Remember*~There is always a next time! :-)

For All Of You Arizona Students, Can You Say, "A-I-M-S Testing This Week!!!"

What Up Peeps!!!!

First of all, I would like to DEEPLY apologize for not posting anything up for you from these last couple of weeks!!! Truthfully, and honestly, I've been excruciatingly busy with homework, boys, friends, and tests!!! (The reason why I said 'boys' was because I had 2 boyfriends-not really at the same time-since I had last talked to you!!! But, I'll tell you all about that in the next couple of blog entries from now!!!) Today, I want to talk to you about AIMS testing this following week!! (I'm really talking to the North Canyon High School students here!!)

I believe the testing begins on Wednesday the 1st and Thursday the 2nd!! On these two AIMS tests, they will cover both Math and Science subjects!!! Thankfully for me, I don't have to take the Science portion of the AIMS because I'm a Sophomore and had already taken it last year!!! For all of you Freshman out there, "Good luck with the Science portion of the AIMS test!!!" Here is a helpful tip for everyone who is taking the AIMS test(s) on Wednesday and/or Thursday: Take your time on EACH problem. Breath in nice and calmly. These tests are NOT timed at all.....so, don't rush it!!! Eat a nice and healthy breakfast before you go to school on Wednesday and/or Thursday!!! And don't forget to have plenty of rest!!! ;-)

I really, honestly, don't want to do ANYMORE AIMS testing for the rest of this year!!! But, like any student who goes to school, I have no choice!!! {chuckle} I remember back in Indiana, we had to take this one specific type of test called ISTEP!! It was a test just like AIMS that covered every subject in school!! I had hated taking the ISTEP test and had dreaded the topic of it!!! Ahhh.....those were the days!!! LOL!!! Well, Peeps, I better get going!!! Good Luck everyone in North Canyon High School on your AIMS testing come Wednesday and/or Thursday!!! See you then!!!

*Remember*~Take your time on the AIMS test(s)!!! It might be a great idea to meditate (clear your mind) before you take the test(s)!!!

Last Call

What Up Peeps!!!!

SONG BACKGROUND: This SONG was written in the summer of my 8th grade!! This song is actually the first song I've ever written in my entire life...so, bare with me, Peeps!! This song is called, "Last Call"!! This song was written for my very first boyfriend, Andrew Britton!!! This song is talking about my last and formal calls with Andrew!!! At the time, my parents had found out that I was talking to a boy, Andrew, on the phone, and had forbade me to ever talk to ANY boys on the phone!!! So, this song talks about how I felt and the memories I had of me and his phone calls!! So, Andrew, if you're reading this, this is for you!! Here's the lyrics to my song, "Last Call"!! Enjoy!!!
###############################################
Last Call
"Hearing your voice.....
so sweet-
Hearing your laugh......
so calm-
I ask myself,
'How do you do it?' "

CHORUS
"I didn't know this was the
last call.
I didn't know this was the
last fall.
I just didn't know........."

"We laugh,
saying old memories will
last.
We talk,
talk about anything that
was there.
Sometimes,
there'd be a pause over
the reciever."

"And I,
I would love it all the
same......."

CHORUS
"I didn't know this was the
last call.
I didn't know this was the
last fall.
I just didn't know-ooo-oo-ooo!
I didn't know this was a
good-by-i.
I just want to give us another
try.
I just didn't know-oo-o-ooo-o!
The last call."

"I sit here crying over
you-oo-ooo.
What am I supposed to do?
You love me,
And I love
you-ooo-oo-ooo!"

CHORUS X2
(but without 'The Last Call' in the end)

"The last call,
The last call,
The Last Call"

So, what did you think of this song? Did you like it?! It was my first song I have EVER written!! As far as I can remember, it was definitely fun to make!! I was able to reach my creative side and try something new!! But, I love this song, though!! It's nice and very heart-felt!! I remember that after I wrote this song, I had literally recorded myself on my first cell phone!! I have to say, it felt weird hearing my own self through my cell phone! But, nonetheless, it was a fun experience!!
