A Summer to Remember

     So my summer vacation is starting to come to a close and I decided to do a reflection of this summer. 
     This summer has been one of the best summers in a long time. It was filled with fun times, amazing people, and lots of Starbucks. I have gotten to know some amazing people a lot better; and I have to see some amazing people leave too. But I will never forget this summer and I think it's because of the "realness" of the people around me and for that I am grateful for. 
     I have been reminded that there are people in this world who care about me and GOD is gonna do big things with my life and He is gonna change people's life's. This has been a short summer but it was a HUGE blessing. 

Thanks for reading!!!!
Love you all!!!

A Simple Thanks

    So tonight I learned that an amazing godly man and I have to part ways and its for an amazing reason. GOD is calling him to lead others in a different place and its a blessing to carry out this calling, it also takes a great amount faith to do this and I look up to him this trait. So it's bittersweet because I'm happy because he gets to further The Lord's mission and that's a honor, but I'm gonna miss him because his teachings have impacted my life and I just want him to know that I am grateful for all he has done. It's gonna be a bittersweet next few weeks. 

Love you Pastor S. !!!!.

"People Like Us"

     So lately Kelly Clarkson's song People Like Us has been stuck in my head and I've been thinking that song is relatable  in my life in more ways than one. When I started this blog I wanted to share my life with you, my readers and sometimes that means I have to share things that can be difficult to talk about and this topic is one of those not so fun ones. 
     When I was in elementary school I had a best friend, this person was someone who I thought really like me for who I was. I thought I finally had someone who cared about me outside of my family. But I was wrong, when I was in 5th grade I started getting bullied by my supposed to be "best friend". It got really bad to the point of being called names, excluding me from things, spreading rumors about me, this person even attempted to knock me over with a dodgeball. It was really bad and it really hurt. I told myself that I was stupid for believing in that person and this was gonna happen and it was right in front of my face this whole time. 
     I've had a lot of experiences where people have hurt me and its been hard for me. But I'm not here to start a pity party for myself. For those who know me they know me as a observant person. I always try to look around me and take in this messed up world that we all live in. I've noticed that the world always like to reject people like me and honestly I think the world is scared of people like me. Now I'm not talking about everybody I'm talking about the world as a majority. I think the reason for this fear is because people don't know how to deal with people who are different than what our culture says is normal and I think this causes so many issues with how people interact with people who are different. 
     So I'm gonna give you the secret on how to interact with people like me. Here's what you should change... NOTHING!!!! People like me just wanted to be treated like anybody else. That's why I didn't name my blog the blog of a disabled teen, because that's not who I am. So, for the "People Like Us" we need to educate others and not let them push us around just because they are scared and I'm not just talking to people with disabilities, I'm talking to the people that are rejected because they are different because that's all I am.
