I'm back, whoot! I dueled with a picky little speech, which is now done and delivered, was scorcthed by the flames of the Ms. FBL test and interrogated by the top brass for Ms. FBL intreview (note: the intreview was strange.. they asked questions that I could never prepare myslef for.. like "what do your friends think of you?" Wtf mate? how am I supposed to know what my friends think of me.. not like i walk up to 'em and say "hey, what do you think about me, honestly?" so i spun some bs.. wonder if it was good bs..lol..) .... strangely enough.. I LIVED!! MUHAHAHAHAHA! lol anyways all my FBLA Competition stuff is done nows.. I'm so relieved ^^ and what does this mean? LIGHTER WORKLOAD! whoot! now i just got to focus on getting scholarships in, keeping up in english, finishing my anti-smoking video for civics, and play practice..well and band practice too .. but heck much lighter work load than what i've been dealing with lately. There is.. however.. a small problemo... I Don't know if I won anything.. so i can't quite relax yet.. stupid Crystal not
posting the results yet... mew mew... but as soon as I know.. you shall know..
apart from that I think i'm going to get blazing on the anime trail ^^ I believe my next series shall be Elfen Lied(sp) after I get done with the Miuzaki(sp) films(which have freaking amazing scenes and music ^^)
I probably won't have school tomarrow because it is..(once again) raining ice.. i'm starting to wonder if i'll ever have school again.. and what a full week of school feels like.. its all so strange heh
I decided (after I finally wrote it) that my speech was rocking awesome, and as such shall post it up (I do not appericate thiefs btw and also..some of it is streched for dramatic effect XD):
Puzzling
When I was a little girl, the most elegant picture I ever saw was that of a snowy little village on the side of a puzzle box. I loved that picture, everything was so warm, far from where I sat, on the cold floor of my workahloic mother's boarding house. As a little kid, one holds a fascination with putting things together, because of the feeling of acomplishment when you finish. But, puzzles where always puzzling to me. I was never able to make the cardboard chunks fit together to create the picture on the box. I lacked some of the pieces. Time passes though, corrding away at memories, and I never became a good at puzzles. I was, in my middle schoool days, introverted. Because of this, and because of our family business, my mother enocouraged me to take an intrest in leadership skills through buisness studies. However, I found, that I again lacked pieces to the puzzle. I lacked friends because of my poor communication skills and my peers did not acknowledge me because of my timidness, one piece. I despised group work because I had no confidence in myself, 2nd piece. I harbored no respect for others, I never cared to hear their words, and thus had quite the lousy character, 3rd piece. I thought my intelligence had peaked so I never paid attention in class, the 4th piece. Being an aloof being, I had no clear dreams or goals, thus no real ambition, the fifth piece. (yeah dramatized there.. I had millions of dreams in middle school..they all last about a week lol) I was missing all the pieces to the puzzle of leadership. When I started highschool, transfering to Arcadia, I became a better puzzeler. In my 2nd year of school my mother persuaded me to join FBLA. I hated it! However, I found that the advisor of FBLA actually wanted to hear what I had to say. She forced me into to group work though on FBLA District competition projects. But, Because she pushed me I gained respect for her. And being in a group, allowed me to learn to respect my peers too. My communication skills increased with time. We did events like the Reach Out and Care program where we put together care packets for the troops for christmas. I became not so timid through participation. I found it vital that I needed to listen to other people in order for programs like our Eco awareness battery drive to take place. My grades rose too, because being around people made me realize I still had a lot to learn. (yeah that's right in middle school i wasn't a straight A student.. i was a b,c,a student.. c's were seldom and i still hated them.. but i did get them occasionally) The next year, I came to school confidently, and found a small dream. To one day teach the people the lessons I've learned through film, and writting. I want to direct movies, and write books. Slowly, but surely, I gained all the pieces of leadership: I was aggresively competent in projects, possed self-confidence, respected others, which led to gaining a better "character" through this, I became a scholar and worked hard to achieve highly, and also, most importantly, gained ambition. I put together this puzzle, and eventually became President of my FBLA chapter. Because of these principals taught through FBLA, today, here I stand, the complete puzzle, a leader.
(yea like i said.. it was dramatized to fit content, but true all of it.. although I didn't learn everything from FBLA.. like confidence.. I may have that in school work.. but not in rl.. although, i'm working on it.. and I got some help.. you see there's this awesome guy, who keeps me standing when i want throw myself to the ground and cry like i'm three.. hehe thank you.. ^^)
