Friends - Thankful Thursday

I don't know if I ever told you guys this when I started public school last March. but I had a hard time making friends. I was so alone. I'm this really outgoing person. Once I get to know everyone. Sometimes I am just super outgoing when I feel like I can be. When I feel like I'm in an environment where someone else is the dominant outgoing person....i shy down. waaaay down. i pitied myself so much that I had lunch with my math teacher every day. it wasn't until junior year (this current school year) that I actually started making friends. and now I don't feel so alone. I actually have something to do during our long lunch!! (lunch for a whole hour twice a week)

anyways. if you ever find out that there is someone new in your environment, be nice. say hello. try to be their friend:) show some love! you know you'd want people to do the same thing to you.

anywho, the whole point of this post was to tell you that I'm branching out. public school has shaped me even more and I know that I would not be who I am if I had not gone to public school. it's been an amazing experience (most of the time;) and I'm learning so much through it. academically and socially.

XOXO! 

Truth is... + Fashion post

I'm a fighter. I don't quit. I won't let things get me down. You can't stop me.

Truth is,

2011 was a fantastic year for me. Towards the fall part of the year, it flopped. Fortunately in Novemeber things started looking up again. 2011 had it's ups and downs, it's trials and temptations. I learned A WHOLE LOT! I lost some [good and bad] but more than lose, I won.

I found out that I have a whole lotta' people on my side that I never knew even cared about me so much.

I found out that with God I can turn bad into good.

I learned that I need to be more careful that I have ever been.

I had some people leave my life and I had amazing new people enter it.

I learned a lot about friendships.

I've learned that I can tell my mom anything and that she loves me no matter what, and my daddy too:)

And I wanna thank God for everything. Jesus is the only one that has held me together. He's amazing. The Holy Spirit has been with me through everything and without Him there is no way that I would not be in a depressive state right now.

God has placed so many awesome people in my life. Including my mentor Andrea Copeland who is with me in the picture above.

So let me list all the goods from 2011:

I lost over 25 pounds. WoW. Wow. wow wow wow wow. I ALWAYS wanted to do that. and I got into my goal size!!! I'M A SIZE 4/6

I made new friends:)

I had a Quinceñera.

I got closer to my parents.

I am closer to Jesus.

I have been SUPER productive.

I've been invited to speak/sing in other places besides my church! YaY:D

And there is so so so much more.
