//__﻿ The Soundtrack of My Life﻿ __//

Fourteen years ago, I was born at St. Joseph’s hospital in Breese, Illinois on May 22nd at 6:30 pm. I have live with my mom, dad, and two younger brothers in New Baden my whole life. I have been going to Wesclin since kindergarten. Ever since I was five, I have been playing numerous sports. My family has supported me the whole time. From the beginning of my school days, I have been a straight A student. The summer before my seventh grade year was not a typical summer vacation. Of course, my family went a couple places, but the bad part came at the end of July. Over the summer, my grandma had gotten lung cancer. No one knows why. She hadn’t smoked once in her whole life. One of the saddest days of my life was July 19, 2008. On that day, the cancer was too strong for her, and it took her life. There is an amazing and inspiring song that really describes this event well. The name of the son is “Missing You” and it is by Nick Thurmond. It talks about how you may not think God is with you, but the truth is, he is always there. This is something I really needed to hear, and it helped me out so much with getting through the loss. This past summer, I went to a camp called Wild Week. It is a Christian camp at Lake Williamson. I went with a big youth group from O’Fallon called Skyline. Ashleigh also went and so did my friend Zoe who goes to my church and was on my soccer team. A lot of older kids from Wesclin also went to the camp. I made numerous new friends like Meaghan Ranz and countless others. On the evening when we got there, we had our first service. Ken Freeman and Kacy Benson, Christian speakers, started giving their sermons. I felt so move by what they were saying. That night, I truly accepted Christ into my heart and into my life. For this important event, I think the best song to describe the way I felt would be “Light Up the Sky” by The Afters. My favorite line in the song is “Light, light, light up the sky. You light up the sky and show me that you are with me.” This is the perfect song that expresses exactly what I was feeling that night. Only one month ago, I was lying in a very uncomfortable bed. It wasn’t just any ordinary uncomfortable bed, it was a hospital bed. I was being prepared for my knee surgery by a very nice nurse. In a soccer game on September 26th, I had torn my ACL. To fix it, they were going to have to cut my knee open. I was incredibly nervous because this was the first time for me to have surgery. This was one of the scariest days o my life. The song that I think describes this situation best is “Forever Young” Jay-Z and Mr. Hudson. It talks about how you should live your life to the fullest. After I recover from my surgery, that is exactly what I plan on doing. All-in-all, my life has definitely had its ups and downs. I was really sad when my grandma passed away. On the other hand, I was more than overjoyed when I was saved this summer. When I got my surgery, I was upset, but I knew that I would get through it. This has been the soundtrack of my life. media type="youtube" key="h3Q-R4esGf4?fs=1" height="381" width="481" media type="youtube" key="LqHNObahgEo?fs=1" height="417" width="485"

The sun was shining brightly in the cloudless, blue sky. The horses were all in the pasture that was full of grass, still moist from the dew of the night before. They all pranced happily with their splendid families. All of a sudden, an evil dragon with magical powers appeared in the grassy meadow. Chaos and fear struck the hearts of the innocent horses, ponies, and unicorns. They all scattered, fearing the worst for their families. They ran as rapidly and swiftly as they could. Finally, the horses, ponies, and unicorns had outrun the dragon to safety. Everyone rejoiced at the fact that all of their families were safe from the dragon. All the ponies pranced merrily through the luscious meadow. They spent the rest of the gorgeous day galloping and trotting through the hills with their families.
