My Reality


Today, as I was telling some of my co-workers about my upcoming excitements, I realized that my reality is more exciting then I ever thought possible. I walk down the halls of my school and I see a lot of people who act like they're the big thing. Skipping class, partying every weekend, etc (notice how I said a lot? I know not ALL do.) and I think what do they really have going? They aren't trying to make something of themselves. A lot of people do work hard, and try to make someone of themselves at my age and I get that. But, my point is how many are 3,000% dedicated to something?

I'm not trying to brag about myself, but I have accomplished so much in the past year and I've met some amazing people in the past year. I've gained respect from people I never, ever thought would even know who I am. And do you know why? Because I pushed myself to be the person I am right now. The person writing this blog. The person who is trying to make a difference in a child's life.

I've finally realized that I am content. I am happy. I've been working hard, thinking I haven't been accomplishing anything at all... when really I have been. And I should be proud of my work, the people I've met, and the friendship's I've made.

On a happier note, I've been tweeting/blogging about my school raising money for Haiti. I believe we raised around 4,672.83 or something like that in 4 days. It was over the $4,000 mark that's for sure!

Also, I'm SO happy right now about April 15th (and everything else too)! 82 days until I get to see Canadian Country Music Artist, and my good friend Aaron Pritchett in concert in Mt. Forest! I've been listening to his CD Big Wheel constantly the last 24 hours, and each time I listen to a song I get that much more excited to see him perform! Seeing him perform is only 1 reason why I am excited.... the other reason is, I get to thank him. I like thanking people in person rather than through an email because when you are face to face you get to show your emotion better and how much you truly mean what you're saying.



Speaking of friends. It would be greatly appreciated if you could check out my friend, Greg Hanna's music video for "It's a Man's Job" and request it on your local country music radio station... please !

I've started a petition online, and I'm hoping to get 1,000 supporters for it! Once again, Join The Fight: CHD is teaming up with Team Phoenix again, to try to get on Ellen's show! Once we hit 1,000 followers I'm sending Ellen the link. If you would like to Support us please sign!

Better go continue studying! Exams start Monday!

XO,
Bobbie Jo

I'm so proud of you. You are so far ahead of so many. I wish I'd made the realization that the clothes you wear, parties you go to, and car you drive don't really matter a long time ago.

Also very proud of the money your school made for Haiti. Way to #blog4Haiti
