Dear Future Me,
My thirteenth birthday was a life changing for me because I got over my fear of heights and I became a teenager ! I went to ''Deep Creek'' ski resort in Oakland,MD. Lots of people came along with me to celebrate.
When I came home from school on February 1, 2012 , I changed my clothes. I seen that everybody was packed up except for me. So I asked what I should pack since I didn't know where we was going. My god-parents told me that my stuff was already packed up and ready to go. I asked where we was going but nobody would tell me. We all got in the cars and left. First, we stopped at the gas station to get some snacks for the road and gas. We headed for the highway. It was me, my god-parents, my grandmother, my two aunts, and my two little cousins. Some hours later we finally got there. We stopped at a restaurant named ''Santa Fe''. We got our food and waited for my aunts to get there because they were running behind a little bit. When they got there we ate and took some pictures and left. We drove around looking for resort but we couldn't find it. We pulled over and asked somebody for the directions. When we got to our cabin we picked our rooms and unpacked our luggage from the cars. Once we got finished we went back out to go shopping. We got all of the things we were going to need for the weekend.
We got back to the cabin and played pool and watched movies for the rest of the night. The next morning when I woke up, my grandmother was cooking a BIG breakfast for the family. One she got done we all ate and then got dressed so we can go out and do activities. We went snow tubing and we got on a roller-coaster that goes up in the mountains. When I got on the roller-coaster I seen a sign that said 365 feet in the air. After I seen that sing I wanted to get off but I couldn't. When we got finished with that we went home and changed to go out to eat. When we got done with that we went home and played more pool.
The next day was finally here it was my birthday !! When I woke up I went to look out of the window and one of my wishes had came true, it snowed !! For my birthday we stayed in and cooked a BIG dinner. While the food was cooking that night some of us played in the snow and had fun. When the food was done we ate together at the dinner table. Once we finished dinner, they sung "Happy Birthday" to me, we cut the cake, and I opened my gifts. I got a new pair of slippers and pajamas, money, cards, and the trip. After that we roasted marshmallows at the fire pit outside and made s'mores. We continued to play outside in the woods in the snow until we got tired and went to sleep.
The last day had come after a long weekend. I was sad that it was time to leave. It was so much fun and I'm glad we went to the ski resort because if we wouldn't have went then i probably wouldn't have got over my fear of heights. We all got ready to leave, we packed up and made sure the house was the way we came to it. We packed the cars with our bags and left the resort. I wish we had more time but I appreciate the time we had together as a family. This is a trip I will never forget !!

Dear, Future Me
Something tragic has happened. This event changed my feelings towards life. It makes me sad to think about it. When I think about it, it makes just feel different. This event changed my life for one main reason.
This tragedy affected my feelings towards my life because he was close to my age, and knowing that anything can happen at any age is very scary to me. What happened was my 16 year old cousin was killed. This affected me deeply because not only was he family but he was so young and close to my age and the person that killed him didn't even know who he was. A lot of people say he was at the wrong place at the wrong time but I question myself about that because how do you know when you're at the wrong place at the wrong time when time is everything. It sometimes frighten me to know things like that can happen and here's why.
Before any of this happened me and him were really close. We acted just the same, and his little brother and my older sister were just the same so we had more in common. However during a few weeks before he was killed I somehow started feeling awkward around him so we fell off. I really started to separate myself from him, when I would go over his I would avoid him, and when he would come over my house I would stay in my room. So now after he passed I really regret treating him like that, so that's why this type of stuff frightens me.
Here's what happened that night. He was just coming back from prom shopping with his little brother, older sister, his niece, and his mother. When he got home his mom went to work, and he went outside with his friend. I really wish he didn't do that because when he went outside he was shot and killed. The news spread pretty quick and when I found out I knew my life had changed.
Now I said how this changed my life because it showed me that life is really unexpecting but also this made made me a better person. It made except people for who they are because who knows what they go through. Also to not hold grudges against people to just forgive and forget. Most importantly love your family and friends while there're here. So this is how my life has been affected by this tragic event.
Sincerely,
The old you

My Most Important Decision
The most important decision I had to make was when I had to choose witch cheer group to be in.. KLM Elite Or Xquisite Allstars.
I was with KLM. Elite But when It started coasting too much, my mom was considering me going to another team. At first I tried out for a couple of teams. those teams were twisters, Crimson Heat and Xquisite Allstars .
Twisters were really Good, But it was not for me. Heat was a good team also, but I dident think I belonged there. And I loved Xquisite. They made me feel at home. Most of the people were older than me, but I could really relate to them. KLM said that we can do fundraising so we can afford it. Sa that means that I have a choice.
I live KLM and everyone in it but is it time for a change? I have been there ever since I was 6 years old and I'm 13 now. Xquisite was really good but I'll miss KLM. I know I'll make good friends at Xquisite but I know I'll miss them
I choose Xquisite and as Much as I'll miss KLM, it was time for a change, and I'm very happy at Xquisite.

Jonaya Mack story
Dear future me.Wow!I had a dream about getting a singing contract. I am very excited because it is going to be a possible dream one day if I kept singing good. Do I have the voice to make it true? I was in my room sleep taking a nap and then I seen myself on stage.I just know that it will come to pass.
Singing is not a gift everybody have only certain people have this talent.For example,Jessica simspon can sing & Steve Harvey can not sing but he is a big icon and is more know then Jessica. Then if you can sing you should keep practicing to get better and to be perfect. Next, I love to sing &i do my best but I know people who can sing better than me & are my age but they don't practice. Finally, athoner example is that China Anne Mcllian can sing and use her gift but Adele can but when she got into a new deeper relationship then she stop singing.
I had 50,000 votes every week on American Idol. Then, I called my mom& told her I might win & she said she knew it to. Next, I was crying because I remember people were doubting me & I reach my dream job. Finally, I was on the new & people was downloading my soundtracks on there phones & were looking at me on YouTube. Next,I got a call from my manger that he wanted me to fly out to LA fast. Then I arrived in LA & people were screaming my name & I had gifts when I arrived at the airport.Later I found my manger & me and him talk about when my first concert will start.Finally 6 months pass & I was at my concert backstage.
I was at my concert & I got a call that my brother got shoot on the way home from a weeding& was losing a lot of blood. I run off stage & began to cry. I wanted to retire if my brother died but he made it and was in rehab for a while.
THE END

Dear, future Tatty
My feelings towards my bestfriend changed because of a terrible dream. My bestfriend brother rashard suddenly became the world to me. I told him everything I know cause we was close . He was my everything plus MORE. But I just realized it was more then that.
In my dream what had happened was , I was at the playground with raven and rashard . It was funny how I was close to both of them and they both knew everything about me. Anyways in my dream I was rashard girlfriend...... it was awkward because he is like a brother/bestfriend . I never really thought of going with him. Anyways, we was all talking , joaning, and having a good time. I was playing on his phone and some girl name Chanel texted him "hey baby :)". So since he was my boyfriend , I was HIGHLY upset.
I said " who is this?". He said "nobody". So since obviously it's somebody I decided to give him his phone back and go home . He tried to catch up with me and tell me the truth but I kept walking . As I was crossing the street he was crossing the street to behind . All of a sudden..... BOOMM! I turned around so fast, too see that he got hit by a car. Memories started flashing back. I screamed " Nooooo! ". As he lay on the street raven comes and holds him while she calls the police. I blacked out and started fighting the lady that was in the car. *shruggs*.
Me and raven was crying so much , I couldn't breathe or think straight. So you know how dreams are like movies?, so a few days later I went to go see him in the hospital . I was sad, crying, upset at my self , I was just ughhhh . I never cried like this since my cousin died. Then I woke up.
That whole morning I was in bed thinking about how much he matters to me . And GOOD he looks ;) . It was a new awakening to a whole new feeling. Since then everytime I see him , I like him more and more . Cause he look good , so yeah he started noticing I was attracted to him. So since then ......... TO BE CONTINUED
Sincerley,
Tatty :)
