A Shape Can Mean…

What is this shape? Where do we see this shape at? What color is this shape? What does this shape mean? This shape is a heart. We see it just about everywhere we go. The heart can be seen in different colors or sizes. A heart has not only one meaning, but it has a bundle of meanings.

When you see a heart what is does it mean to you? To me, a heart shows love and comfort. Whenever I see a heart shape, I get a smile on my face and think about those that I love and care about. Such as: my family, my friends, teachers or coaches, the sports I play, favorite food or music.

For example, my favorite sports are volleyball and basketball. When I play either of those sports I have to have fun playing it otherwise I would not be playing good. I need to have the love of the game. When I play sports I have teammates that I love to play with, and I know they will have my back on and off the court. I have the love of a sisterhood on my team.

Family and friends are the most important to me. I love them because they are always going to be there for me. They will not judge me for anything I do wrong, but they will give me their honest opinions. I can trust them with secrets, drama, whenever I need a shoulder to cry on, or basically my life. And for that I love them.

I need to have food and music in my life. I know food and music it is not a big topic to compare to “love”, but without Chicken Alferdo I would not go back to the same restaurant and melt in my seat while eating it. I love Olive Garden; their food is to die for especially the salad and bread sticks. Music that I love to listen to is Lady Gaga; gosh she is so incredibly weird and different. She does not care how people talk about her, she dresses the way she wants to, and her eyes are full of dreams. That is what I love about Lady Gaga!

You see, a heart has different meanings to people. Just remind yourself about all the things you love to do or the people you love. That is basically the simplest way to remember a heart. It does not matter if you can see a heart, as long as you know what love means to you. Everyday try your best to spread heart to the world. A simple “Hi” or “Have a good day” will do the trick to spreading hearts.

Young Love :)

Ah! Sitting in class with a boring substitute, Mrs. Caffey had gone to N.A.U. with the college readiness class. I really hated days like that because there were no class discussions, and no help on assignments. So, I am really sorry to say…I had spent most of the class period daydreaming and remembering my first crush!

Melcomh Chee was my very first crush! I met him when I was nine years old at a co-ed ten and under basketball tournament in Sanders, Arizona. I was so shy to even say one word to Melcomh, but his mom had told him to introduce me to the other teammates. So, he grabbed my hand and introduced me to the team. When Melcomh was telling me the player’s names, I was not even paying attention I was more concentrated on him holding my hand.

It was about time to start the game, and I think the team thought I was a “girly girl”. Until, I started shooting threes like a free-throw shot. After we won that game, Melcomh told me I was a really good basketball player! I melted in my shoes when he complemented me. He asked me to ask be his girlfriend because I played basketball really good. I said “Really! ME? Sure I will”.  I was so happy that I was Melcomh girlfriend! He bought me Gatorade and made me sandwiches when we sat in between games. We were very young to be dating, but we did not care.

One game we had played to get to the championship round, no one was not shooting well! We had lost that game, so we had to play for third place. Everyone did not care about third place; we all wanted to win the entire tournament. Melcomh looked so mad at me because I did not shoot my threes well last game. So I played my butt off for third place and we barely won that game by 5 points.

After the game, they announced the All-tourneys from our team. It was Aaren Billie and Frank Martin! Melcomh had gotten so mad at me and dumped me because Frank and I got All-tourney. That was my first crush at nine years old. To this day Melcomh and I are still great friends, and laugh about how we dated at nine years old

Dreams Are Surprises

                Have you ever wondered what people dream of while they are asleep? I ask myself that question every morning when I wake up. I tend to have a multitude of crazy, unreal dreams. A scary dream; once I dreamt that a scary looking clown was chasing after me while I was at a cousin’s birthday party. A sad dream; I made my mother the biggest birthday cake but my brother had taken a bite of it without even asking if he could have a piece. A superhero dream; I was able to fly around the world to help people, and my outfit was my basketball jersey.

                As you can see, you can different sort of dreams. They can be: happy, sad, scary, mysterious dreams or a dream where you feel like you are untouchable.

                A few days ago, my boyfriend was fast asleep and I was still up doing my homework. I had fallen asleep on my work for about two hours, and I woke up to put all my books away. While I was putting my books away, Scott had turned over and taken over the entire bed!  I was very exhausted, so I tried to tell him to move over a bit but he could not hear one word I had said. So, with the little muscles I had I tried to move him over.

                When Scott moved over, he kind of started to get comfortable on my left arm. I did not mind him sleeping on my arm, but it got my arm all tingly so I had to move it. I moved my arm as slowly as I could so I would not wake him up again. Suddenly, Scott just grabbed my arm like a piece of meat and started biting on it.

                I did not know what to do…I told him to “Stop”, or “Babe wake up!” He did not respond to me.  Finally, about seven seconds later he just stopped and went back to sleep. Gosh, after seeing what my boyfriend did to my arm, I really wanted to know what he was dreaming about.

                I went back to sleep and woke up the next morning, laughing! From all my laughing I woke up my boyfriend.

                 “What are you laughing at? Was I grueling?” He asked.

“No babe, but could I ask you something? I said.

 “Ok babe, what?” He asked.

“What were you dreaming about last night?” I asked.

                He said, “Um…I do not really remember. I was so tired though, why?”

“Well, because you were biting on my arm and I told you to stop or I tired waking you up, but you went back to sleep.” I said.

The look on our faces was like “What the Heck”, we did not know what to say after our conversation. The strangest thing I have ever experienced was getting my arm chewed on just before bed. Dreams can be an amazing adventure, just do not try and scare anyone while you are dreaming.
