"Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened."- Dr. Seuss

Find beauty in all things.

Seize the day and cherish every moment.

Life is what you make of it

Do what you love/ Find something to be passionate about

Just some of the many life lessons I've learned in the past year or two of high school.

I don't know what I'm going to do next year when everyone is gone.

When all of my heros leave, will all my inspiration leave with them?

When everyone who has instilled passion in my heart has left for bigger and better things will I be the same?

When my teachers who are more than teachers move on,

when these people who are so passionate for what they do exit my life,

will it be forever, will we be able to keep in touch?
All these people have inspired me,

I've learned so much more from them than they could ever know.

How can I possibly still be the same person I am now without them?

How can I possibly still be this strong passionate beautiful person that I see myself as without their encouragement and criticism and influence.

I'm about to cry, so I'd better stop.

Sometimes I just have to stop and wonder.

Be a pessimist for a couple minutes, you know?

Its okay, I'll be just fine.

Why I love my life Pt 2

"I bet Brittney Spears is thinking, 'What do I have to do now!?'" -Mom (on Pink's grammy performance)

"What if she got really dizzy and threw up on everyone?" -Mom (also on Pink's grammy performance)

It's like the whole world went on vacation and got fat together" -Emily Underwood

"Where am I? Where am I? I fell off my yoshi! SHOOT I'm dead again!" -Mom (Playing super Mario Bros with Matthew)

All I can say is, THAT IS ONE BAD WEAVE- Mom

Honey, those steroids aren't gonna help YOU- Mom

It's like teaching Christianity without Jesus!- Mom (On starting US History in the 1870's)

Don't give that little girl a Sprite! What is she like two? It'll corrode her insides!- Mom

Dear ______,

I've found someone twenty times better than you could even think about being for me. He is sweet and cute and funny and I like him a lot. Besides all that he's genuine. Which is what matters. You never were. I'm proud to say I am completely over you, but that doesn't mean I'll forget anything. I just wanted to let you know. Have a nice life. :):):):)

Sincerely,

Elise
