Things to be Thankful for...

Today in school, I began to realize how lucky I am. I am blessed to have such good friends and family. I can do whatever I want with my future. Some people aren't as lucky as my friends and I. I'm very grateful for what I have and I never want to forget that. 

I'm lucky enough to have 2 parents that work. When I need something for school we can just go to the PX and purchase it. When my jeans don't fit I get new ones. When my shoes have a hole or are worn out, we buy new ones. Some people aren't as fortunate. 

I'm very thankful for everything I have been blessed with! Thank you to all of my friends for being in my life!

What you are thankful for in your life?

Quote~ Napoleon Hill

“What the mind can conceive, it can achieve.” – Napoleon Hill

 This summer at the Naval Academy Swim Camp they really stressed this quote. If you haven't already take a few moments to think about this quote and how it applies to you. 

This quote means alot to me. If you continuously tell yourself you can do it, you eventually will. It means having confidence in what you do. My goal is to get Olympic Time trial cuts then, (fingers crossed) stand on the Olympic podium and hear the national anthem.  To do this I must put in 4 years of hard work, perseverance and dedication. It's not going to be easy but its my dream.

RMAL CHAMPS RESULTS

So...we didn't win. :( Turns out we didn't have as many swimmers show up so we didn't get as many points. We still swam really well overall. Our team is still unbeaten throughout the season. Thanks for the support though. Xx

A Photo I Took!

Back to School 101: Clothes

Today consisted of 3 things: drawing, shopping, and being sick. I have had a lingering sore throat for the past  4 days now. When I went to patient first they said nothing was wrong! Well.....I'd like for them to know that a sore throat should not last for 4 days.

As you all very well know school starts very soon for me. I always seen to have major dilemmas with clothing. Not that I don't have enough. Trust me I do. It's that I am very good at coming up with an image and I am very picky.  Not that I'm not me. I'm always me, it's just the way that people perceive me. This year I want to be that girl that walks by and you think...."Wow, I love those colors!" Or "Wow, I love that! And maybe even..."Where did she get that? I need that!"

Where did I get these colorful threads. You can find these at Aeropostale, American Eagle, and Hollisters. The best part is we didn't pay full price for any of it! I also have two pairs of toms that I didn't want to put on top of my new clothes.

How would I wear these unique piece?

• A navy striped T-Shirt is a must have piece for any collection. White will match anything. Although we are only teens, horizontal stripes also help to give the illusion of a petite figure. It is also cut right where low rise jeans are cut so while not exposing stomach it is "short"
• A collared shirt is a must. Whether you need a nice shirt for a school concert or for a nice dinner with family a collared shirt is easy to pair with khakis or black pants. I find navy an easy color to wear. 
• I also got a blue strapless polka dot dress. I plan on wearing this with my jean jacket and a nice pair of flats. You can also dress it up with a pretty necklace or dress it down with a white button up shirt and converse.
• A neon green hoodie is a great way to add color to a simple pair of jeans. You can even wear a pair of skinny jeans that are the same shade of blue. I also purchased a pair of jeans that same shade. It can also be worn with shorts if you are cold. The sleeves can also be pushed up to 3/4 to accent bracelets or nails. 
• Jeans come in many colors and are used to keep your legs warm in the winter or fall. They can be cuffed, ripped, died, bleached, and embroidered. I plan on perhaps cuffing them. 
• A light yellow jacket can brighten a pair of black skinny jeans or jeggings. The jacket its self is light and can be kept in a locker an used in the fall or spring when a jacket is needed for cold classrooms. 
• Toms is a trendy little brand. It takes part in the One for One movement. When you buy a pair a pair is also donated to a child in need. They are available in many shades and can be ordered in the original       design, flats, or high-heels. I own 2 of the original designs in 2 fairly new prints. 

Undefeated!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yay! My swim team the Bon Air Blue Streaks is undefeated! We just won our last meet against our rivals. They have beaten us the past 5 years but never again will we let them win. ( well maybe) Congrats to all my fellow teammates. I'm also very excited because I came in 1st in the 50 fly!
Till Next Time Xx

Busch Gardens Rocks!!

Had a great mini vacation with my mother brother and aunt! Really enjpyed the rollercoasters!

Go Blue Streaks!

I had a great time at the fun day and breakfast this morning with my team. I sat with my brother and his friends. :) My summer team is Bon Air and I'm placing really well at these meets! I have gotten 3 first place ribbons, 1 second place ribbon, 2 third place ribbons and 2 fourth place ribbons. I have finally broken 30 seconds in my 50 freestyle. Last night I swam a 29.83 in that event! My next milestone will be 27 seconds. I hope to reach that by next summer. We also were assigned a "buddy" to cheer for. I gave my buddy skittles and star bursts and I cheered them on and I hope that I motivated her. At the end of the meet she brought me a rice krispy treat and a cute poster. The only bad part was that it started to rain so the colors on my poster bled a little bit. Overall I had a great meet! Till next time....Bye! Xx

Summer Fun

I'm at the beach right now! It's lots of fun and there is no shortage of sun. I can't wait for school to start. My highlight of the first day of school will be getting to see all of my besties!

Summer.....

I'm back and ready to take VIrginia and Maryland by storm with my swimming abilities! I begin my swim team this summer and I go to camp on the 18th!!

Hello

Having a Blast on Summer vacation!!

Foggy Lenses

2012 has been a blur. I turned 13. My cheer season ended. Track began. I broke the school mile record. II also ended the year with a 4.0 GPA!!! Yes, it is possible.

Turning 13 is a milestone, but a small one at that. Yes, you are a teenager, but with being a teenager comes more responsibilities. Eventually you will drive, start high school, go off to college, get your first job and start a new chapter in the book of life.

Cheer season ended in Febuary. It was bittersweet. I will miss cherring over the summer but I can't wait to be a returner next year. I wish the best of luck to all the girls who will try-out for the cheersquad! Remember: Practice makes Perfect!

I always knew I could run I just never thought I could run fast, or far for that matter. I finished track season with the fastest 7th grade girls 1600m time. The record is now 5:53:67! I want to thank all the distance runners at my school for the support. I also want to. Thank my mom for letting me run track.

Yay! I got straight A's for the last symester!!! I managed to sqeak out a high A- in algebra and will be taking Algebra begining in the fall. My highest grade was in Science thank goodness, since I would like to work in the medical field. It was a 99%!!!! I'm very excited!

Just keep swimming! My new personal goal is to have olympic qualifying times by 2016! I will be 17 and will have 4 yearsbto train. I have been working very hard lately and will be attending a week long swim camp in just a few short weeks! I'm very excited.

I cannot express in words how grateful I am to have the parents that I do. They come to every swim or track meet and every football or basketball game that I cheer at. They are also my biggest cheerleaders who buy me nice running shoes and snazzy running/athletic socks! They also make sure that I always have snacks and water at meets. They are the best parents in the world and I can't thank them enough!
