WE HOLD THE FUTURE!!!!!

Our president gave the annual state of the union speech, and I was sitting there watching it thinking why do I have to watch this? I started to realize that I need to watch this because in a few year we will be the one`s who will run this country. I feel that our generation has lost it`s way. We focus on now and living for the now instead of how our decisions will affect us in the next faze of our life. I am guilty of that and I`m pretty sure allot of us teenagers are. I mean not just saying teenagers, because it was known for High school to be the pivotal point in a persons life, but truthfully middle school, and elementary school kids are doing more things than high school students are doing. I think that we have to realize that we are the future of this country and some leaders of today have expressed there concern about the children leading the world. I believe we should stand up and prove to America that we can and will lead this country even better than the way it is being lead now. We always talk about how our parents don`t understand so, don`t forget how we feel now. Don`t let our children feel the same way. we are experiencing poverty, unemployment, and frustration, so let us not forget it. Let us remember so that when we come to power we know how it feels to be down and out, and we won`t let the people we care about feel the same way.Let us remember so that we can draw from pass experiences.

Dating in teens

Why do us teenagers date? Is it practice for the future? Is it because we need to be attracted to someone? IDk but at this point we all think it`s normal for a girl to like a boy and a boy to like a girl, but are some of us just doing it to fit in? Are we really feeling a connection or is it just to raise your social status. In some cases for girls you feel like nothing until some guy tells you your beautiful, sometimes it`s for a good reason, sometimes it`s just to take advantage of you. A relationship is like a game you have to use tactics to get where you want to be, or you can just get up and leave the game. Truthfully most teenage relationships last for about a week, but maybe it`s not such a bad thing to date, maybe as human beings it's good to have someone there for you. I personally think as an experience you would grow from dating like you would by going to school. I think that fact that parents say NO, to a boyfriend or girlfriend is because they think that they will try and change and you will not be the sweet little baby they raised, but maybe just maybe, you will change but you will change to the way you choose to, not the way your partner has forced you to be, and maybe you will find yourself along the way.

Be the best of the best not the best of the worst.

So, I`ve mentioned that I go to a performing arts school before but I really just wanted to talk about it. I know that acting is what I want to do but when your at a school where everyone is sure they want to act you end up trying to prove to the people around you that you want to do it, but really you don`t need to prove anything to anyone but yourself. So people say " Oh it must be great being with people who love to do what you do"  Well not really because everyone wants to do what you want to do so there for you don`t stand out. I`m a person that loves the spotlight I mean in a way we all do, we all love to be acknowledged for being great, but the fact is that in regular school you are diffrent, you are you, and everyone knows you, in a school where everyone is diffrent, and everyone may not be as good as you, and may not have the passion that you do, no one cares about that. It`s who`s willing to do what they have to do to get to the next level. So what I am saying is that it`s easy to stand out against the worst, and feel great about yourself but it`s not easy to stand out in front of the best, and have down times, and have good times and work hard at what you want to do. Also you can work harder to be better than who you think is the best, but you should strive to be YOUR BEST not the best, because when your the best you, theres no one above you.

I took it on.

Ok, so guys I took on a hard monologue for me it`s a fast talking monologue which is a stutterers worst nightmare lol. I think it`s really breathy beacause it`s so much easier to speak on the breath. like singing. If any of you take singing lessons, you know what I`msayin. I personally find it weird that you can talk and stutter but then can sing whitout it, it`s kind of strange. I mean having studdering is a challenge especially when you want to be an actor but I keep telling myself that God gave me this and he could have given me something worse, he just wants me break down a barrier, but all of us who do studder do not think of it as a curse I mean yes, sometimes it`s embarrasing  but things could always be worst. So, here it is my Gretchen Weiner Monologue.................

Not just clothes but a expression




Hello, Fellow earthlings. I just want to talk to you about this interesting fact that has come along to my disturbed mind. So I was trying on my outfit for school 2marrow, and I realize that my style is completely different than that of many girls at my school. I go to a performing arts school so there is not really a dress code so their are some strange fashions walking through the halls. I mean allot of people just dress to get attention, they dress to stand out on purpose. I personally think that clothes should be an expression, I think those girls who wear jeans, a top and, chucks are the most secure with themselves. I mean I`m not one of those girls. LOL, but i respect them I get dressed to my feelings if I`m really sad I get more dressy and if I`m secure that day I`l pull out a sweatshirt, skirt, leggings, and some chucks (I think chucks are a gift from GOD) I really find it interesting when you walk down the street and there you see so many different styles. I mean you don`t have to be Lady GaGa but I think that you should add your own swagger to your clothes. Especially in High School were it is a fashion show everyday, girls especially if you want to be on top you don`t have to just look better than your friends you have out dress every girl in the school. you should put you personality in everything from head to toe. from the way you were your hair to the way you tie your shoe laces. The song "Love is a Battlefield" Well let`s apply that to school is a battle field and you have to fight with every Besty Johnson pump you can. LOL

on YOUTUBE! YAH

Kay, guy so I am now on youtube. I did my monologue on a video and posted it, yeah. Now, I have to talk about something, so you know how some people say it`s bad to use this crazy thing called the internet to promote yourself, but really is it. I don`t think alot of people alot of people use the internet to get famouse I personally think it`s just to have fun and let the world in on it. You know like there are about 100 million people who want to be in the entertainment industry, and everytime I meet with an agent or a manger or anyone that knows you want to be in the entertainment industry their like why do you want to be an actor, and I always say because I love it I could not live with out acting, I would die without the ability to express myself. I don`t care If I am on the silver screen or if I can just be dramatic in the way I live life. I think that a passion is something that you could do with a million dollars in your pocket or 2 cents. I don`t like it when people try to judge you because you wan the world to see whot you do, well all of you fellow entertainers go and show work to everyone and bring joy to the world.LOL so her ya go pepples ( I spelled it wrong on purpose) Here is my monologue and please enjoy, and please go to my youtube page and leve me a message thanks guys. Luv YAH, PEACE.
