If you dont know me, dont judge me; nobody ever said you had to love me. And to all those girls who gossiped about me, to those that were my wake up call, to those close minded and misunderstanding, to the boy that broke my heart, and to those friends who turned out to be backstabbers and fake. You all challenged me to be the person I wanted to be. I am stronger because of all the stupid shit you put me through. No matter how much you put me through, you have unknowingly helped me out. Fake; it’s the latest trend, and everyone seems to be in style.

Soccer
AHHH! Soccer tyr-outs are THIS MONDAY!!! We are doing two a days from Monday through Friday. I REALLY REALLY REALLY hope I will make varsity this year, but I think some other girl might make it over me. The coaches say she has the athletice ability but no ball control and that I have ball control and that I know when to get rid of it and who to. Let's just pray that they want me over agressive Ari. Maybe they'll just take both of us....who am I kidding they only need and want one more player for that position. My only hope is to try-out for a forward position. Yuck

Love is never having to tell someone I'm sorry
If love is patient and kind; if it does not envy or boast; if it is not arrogant or rude, if it does not insist on its own way; if love is not irritable or resentful; if it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. If love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Then love should mean that you never say sorry. God tells us to LOVE one another as he loves us, but everyday I find myself saying I'm sorry like a million times. I know that I'm not perfect, (Who is?) but maybe we should pay more attention top others and how they feel. Nearly 5,000 teens commit suicide every single year! How can we as a whole make someone feel so unwanted, so unloved, that it comes to the last choice ever made? Death. How can we act so inhumane that one chooses to take their own life away? When was the last time you said a single harsh word to someone? When was the last time you thought mean thoughts about someone as they walk by? For me? That would be today. Think how many times you do this per day. Think how many people feel embarrassed or scared just to go out in public because of the way we think of them, look at them, and the things we say. Let us share the love this weekend by eliminating as many bad thoughts or words as we can. For Love IS patient and love IS kind.

Graduation Speech 2012
Here is my awesome speech for graduating from St. Mary's! Blue is me and green is my friend Emma.
You know you go to St. Mary's when you have a beach day in the middle of winter, or when you know the tacky the penguin dance by heart. And when you get a plastic dinosaur and name it spike. You know you go to St. Mary's when you bring in a bunch of junk and "invent" something that's already been invented, or when your fourth grade teacher gives you the answers to the science tests. You know you go to St. Mary's when you class isn't responsible enough to get the talk, or when you're proud of yourself when the teacher says, "Out in the hall!" Ans when you think of nicknames for the teachers and subs such as: Smithers, Nyfry, NcNylund, Nyny, Slotske, Stewie, Strollo, TG, Mr. C, and Hanging, or you just call them by their last name. You know you go to St. Mary's when you cook food in solar ovens, and by the end of the day you are either sick or/and you have an office referral. We've had great times at St. Mary's. Some of us have been together since preschool. We've lost some people along the way, but we've also accepted new classmates that we can now call friends. We know how to push each others buttons, but we know how to make each other feel wanted. We've seen each other through thick and thin. We've been there for each other when no one else was. It's now time to move on, but even if you don't admit it, you're glad you came to St. Mary's. You're glad you came here and experienced all of these crazy times together.
Things about our classmates we'll never forget:
Hannah: Keep on shimmering and shining
Jack: Remember that time Mitchell and I went to your house to work on a project and it ended with me in the ER? Ya neither do I.
Jen: One word, Helene
Brady: Never a dull day with you
Eli: All aboard! Hahaha
Liana: Girl scout camp.....interesting
Kirstin: Thanks for always understanding me when nobody else does
Luke Bunkers: I've always admired the way you can make people laugh
Greg: Have you ever noticed your locker is the most comfortable?
Danika:.....
Thomas: You are super duper awesomely talented and don't let anyone tell you otherwise
Jacob Dahl: I will always remember the day Zoe invented your nickname
Mya: We'll never forget you and hope you'll never forget us
Goutham: I'm going to miss having all our random technology talks together
Reed: Like a book
Jonny: I'm glad to know you'll always be there with a sweatshirt if I need one
Brandon: I think it's awesome how you can skateboard compared to me who has no sense of balance
Noah: When you came things changed....for the better of course
Emily: I hear my bathroom is very comfortable
Ryan Domeier: I will never forget the time you biked more than ten miles to my house
Ryan Huxford: Everything bad always happens to you and I don't know why
Tessa: Tessa Rahrick
Stanley: I like band with you, It's always fun
Jake Nelson: Home schooled to our school...big jump
Mitchell: 2nd grade. The poem
Kristen: Keep smiling keep shining knowing you can always count on me for sure that's what friends are for in good times and bad times I'll be by your side forever more that's what friends are for!
Alex: We all know grapes are red right?
Luke Berkley: You're the best 8th grade french horn
Melony: Being a new student can be hard especially at a school like ours, but I am surprised at how well you handled it and how fast you got use to our odd ways
Abbie: Your laugh always makes me laughs and brightens my day
Ethan: When I heard you were going to play the guitar for our final song I was a bit disappointed because I wanted the regular music with no clapping, screaming, and what ever else us SMS kids could think of doing, but now I am super glad you did because it made the song a lot better.
Grace: Scary situations with your mom, Sophie, Jen and I are always fun
Mark: I think people owe you for all the snacks taken coughcoughhuxfordcoughcoughmattie
Katie: I'm glad you're there for me when everyone else turns away
Jake Borchert: Molly's party was fun in the kitchen with Emma, Matt, Huxford, and I
Swimmastermattieshaver: I'm glad to came to SMS. It definitely changed us all
We will always remember all of you, and our memories will never fade. Hopefully our friendships won't either. Now that we are ready to go to the high school, we hope that you never forget the friends you've always had, right from the beginning.

I Am
I am energetic and crazy
I wonder what I will be like when I grow up
I hear waves crashing upon a beach
I see palm trees blowing in the wind
I want to be a doctor when I grow up
I am energetic and crazy
I pretend I an on a white fluffy cloud
I feel sorrow when something horrible happens to a friend
I touch the sky on a cloudless day
I worry about my family
I cry when it rains
I am energetic and crazy
I understand you think I cannot do everything
I say I can and I will
I dream I can fly through the bright blue sjy
I try to do my best in everything
I hope that peace will come soon
I am energetic and crazy

My Time Hear at St. Mary's
My time hear at St. Mary's has been an upward climb. The beginning was thrilling and I had the strength to wander and explore, but as I got farther the path got harder and I found myself falling over and over again. This last year I found I am stronger and able to finish the climb I started back in pre-school. My faith in Christ is strong and I know I am ready to set off on my own and start another climb somewhere else.

Here at St. Mary's we are all bananas. Yup, bananas. We come green and fresh and as the years go by we turn yellow as we learn not only about math, our world, and science stuff, but also our faith and God. By the end we are yellow and ripe and ready to be shared with the world. Yet, we aren't perfect. Along the way we'd trip and fall and veer off the path God has set for us. We have brown marks to prove that we aren't perfect yet God still loves us for the way we are, and we are ready to go into a new world...High School.
