School Pride Scholarship entry
My ideal career path is to become a radiologic technologist who is specialized in MRI. My school, Colorado Mesa University, is perfect for this goal because they have a prestigious program for just that. I have even recently been accepted to the program! This is huge because they only take 18 a year. Also, the school gives the opportunity to acquire a Bachelor’s degree in the program. This would allow me to specialize in MRI right away. To begin, I was really well prepared to apply for the program through my school's unending resources! My Cross Country coach, Gig Leadbetter, helped me the entire way making sure my studies were kept up and that I had the support I needed. In addition, standardized testing and interviews for the program were held on campus. So, I did not have to travel any distance to complete such requirements! Lastly, I have a wonderful family of friends here that told me the whole way that I could get in. The library is three minutes from my current dorm room and there is free tutoring offered on campus. Dr. Ward is my advisor and she checks in with me to make sure I am completing everything I need to complete to stay on track. My friends were right! I had the smarts, personality, and resources from the perfect school to get in. Now that I am in the program, though, my school lacks the one resource I need. It has the wonderful people for support, the rad tech facilities to learn, nearby hospitals such at St. Mary's to intern hours in, and top notch teachers with the best information. For example, the program has a 100% passing rate for the RT Registry Exam following the program. Sadly, it does not have enough scholarship and financial help...In order to continue with this program that I have worked so hard to get into, I need outside resources. This is my only chance. Please and Thank You! Please help me live up to what all my friends tell me I am. There is nowhere else I’d rather be, it is so perfect!

sonnet: world
an old story reels out in such a way.
Like many before with a want of grace,
for something as simple as a bright day.
Children gone without food countless a night,
always in a thought of what love could be.
Mothers without a sense of wrong or right,
with thick tears so heavy they cannot see.
A never ending battle against strife,
a fate monster lives in dreams smothered deep.
They somehow move on with reason in life,
all of these things live which make a heart weep.
If you let the world make a change in you,
you can change the world with words but a few.

gloomy days?
sometimes when it rains..
it makes me wanna hate her
its so dark
especially when it tears at my heart
its the kind of rain that falls straight down
and turns my stomach upside down
gripping the wall just insnt enough
when i miss you..
its pretty rough
maybe because ive fallen so hard for you
thats why i fall so far when you are gone too
thats the first time i cried in those jeans
cuz every other memory
has been better than i could imagine it be
with 'i believe in love' stitched on the butt
i must have found the ultimate love
its just waiting for you
like waiting out rain
gets to me all the way through
and theres nothing else i can blame
but mother nature's falling rain

goodness gracious
black and white
theres solid light
and darkest night
they come together
only just right
the in between
is the most beautiful thing
that you have ever seen
half black
half white
mixin to gether
to form a sunrise
others stop
stop and stare
they look at
what is there
some miss out
they just dont see
whats become of the in between
every morning they see it mesh
the sky's light with the dark night
but somehow its new to you
new to me
new to them
when its between you and me
they stop and stare
and look at
what is there
some miss out
they just dont see
what had become of the in between

learning of his miles his light his passion
is there in a stranger

i wanna know why
but all i do is sit n' cry
i can't fix your life, only you can try
so many tears taught me that, before i said goodbye
i can't fix your life, i can't fix your life
maybe its better if i just leave
i see its better off just letting you be
i dont have enough left to fight for you
i dont have enough left to just try for me
when my heat wanted to run with yours
thats when i learned, i learned a truth
i cant fix your reckless life
even though ive tried and tried
you cant always run and hide
im not strong enough to hold you to a light
you have to try for your life
you have to try for yourself
i cant fix what has made me cry
you can only change if you, yourself, can see why
the day came when i embraced your ways
now i couldnt imagine you being another way
i love it dont change those reckless days
i cant fix it, i cant fix your life
im glad i cant
if you were different now,
maybe i'd cry.

and make a wish
a wish for becoming
a wish to believe
or a wish for a friend
a wish to make
an isuperable memory
i've been to a place
where others' culture didn't match my face
rain came warm every night
near the ocean, to wash away
dirt built up from walking everywhere that day
i've been there
been in that most simple space, and
been in a most hated lavish place
for granted that it came my wish for becoming
for granted that it came my wish to believe
i've been there
but not quite where you take me here
my genie wish
granted with you
MY BOY MY FUN MY DREAM AT NIGHT
my wish for a friend come true
you have no idea what i think of you
cuz i cant help it
i love you!

200 years
There’s an old wooden broken down door
closed and shattered across an old dirt floor
gone with the struggles of Sojourner Truth
And legions of others who came before
Curled up and sort of hunched over
I can’t keep out such thoughts of wonder
Were they scared
Did they fear
Was there one prospect they just fought to hear
Hoping to open paths of new
Giving up their days for you
And Leader’s speeches promising a day
Of equality and freedom
So that someone could see you smile that way

tears and fears
tears are coming from the sky
fears are claiming their victims cry
a thunder cracks on an innocent face
closing in on a hopeful place
a first thought is to let go
its easy to just fall and break
but
i told her not to be afraid
i told her everything that he had said
his words brought a picture to lifethat in my mind theres nothing like
a son in hands of life alike
go and find jesus
go and look for his smile
its there even when its been a while
i know that is seems hard
and i know that it seems gone
really, what is love when there are tears striking ground
what is love when there are fears all around
still go, and find jesus
go look for his smile
its there even if it has been a while
it will be okay
no need to wait for rain
the shine is there
fight stonger than it
you can stay
i know you'll find Him
find him
today
tears are coming from the sky
fears are claiming their victims cry
a thunder cracks on an innocent face
closing in on a hopeful place
a first thought is to let go
its easy to just fall and break
but
i see
you found jesus today
a needed prayer for a love, jesus is but a needed love, for a need he is there with love.

a red guitar
shes a love that music likes to play
her song picked out in but silent space
just a red guitar plays out her ways.
A piece of ribbon all tied up in bows
her eyes just look up as if she knows
that shes loved til' a fake flower dies
that shes loved when she breaks n' cries.
Shes kept close to a heart
and shes worth more than a midnight star.
Perfect curles is where he got it from
she grew up and he slid it on
a bow wrapped around her finger
there to keep
to keep
forever.
Shes a love that music likes to play
her song picked out in but silent space
just a red guitar picking out her ways.
To forget everything in the world to be
to forget everything in the world to see
to lay on his chest
and fall asleep
just listening to
his heart beat.
Her eyes look up as if she knows
that shes loved as far as forever goes
that shes kept close to a heart
and shes worth more than a midnight star.
his promise kept
he kept his promise
for precious curls to tie a bow
for a little girl of a face of jade
shes his love that music likes to play
her song picked out in but silent space
just a red guitar plays out her ways...

a prayer from Him
down the road is a broken heart,
which the unknown has taken apart,
i don't know and i can't see why he is taken away from the dream,
he was so close i was glad to see that he left in knowing his dream would be achieved,
a prayer for him,
for his dream to win,
because the sun's face it cries today so that maybe tomorrow he'll find his way,
a prayer for him and his dream it wins,
for his boy's a smile from within,
not make it through the world and fate,
but make the world a lesser hate,
with through his love the son shines today.
joe my friend for you i pray
to keep a dream is to win within

to carve out a heart
every time in a hug, every smile it knows of.
you and me, the sun can see its carved out on a tree.
it knows of.
a stumble on truth, a fall and all breaks loose.
colors of a sunset on the tree, still love reflects.
red and orange it's true, flip it over to me and you.
so the sun can still see, that it's carved out on the tree...
it knows of.
how your heart made me cry.
tears of joy,
and that is what, your heart sounds like.

but there is a dream out there
only fear fear

eyes look up
wonder sighs
faith you try spell life
the heart keeps true
an' in the mornin'
the sun still shines bright.

Lulliby
something is there
i can feel it in the warmth by my side
you show me what it's like
and now i am sure to be stuck in your life
Now i am lost in your eyes
this is why i keep quiet
when you say i love you
boy, know, that i love you too
catch my breath
help me breathe
cuz you take it away from me...
when you smile
This isn't just a lulliby
and now i can see why
you are there to hold my hand
and you are there to help me stand
come take me to a place
come take me to your favorite space
you have my heart
now reel it in
let's see what kind of love story
we can put ourselves in
Now i am lost in your eyes
this is why i keep quiet
when you say i love you
boy, know, that i love you too
catch my breath
help me breathe
cuz you take it away from me...
when you smile
I wish i could just freeze time
when one moment i could cry
and the next i would seem fine
water reflects everything
hold it in your hand
and you have the world
you are in my heart
and i look in
the reflection i see
why its your light
now i am lost in your eyes
this is why i keep quiet
when you say i love you
boy, know, that i love you too
catch my breath
help me breathe
cuz you take it away from me...
when you smile
i write a page
and you write a page
and together
we will write a story
not just another lulliby...
Bells ring
lookin at a forgotten face
their eyes reflect what's inside
and the air alone lets out their cry
pull me out pull me out
hold me up and keep me out
it's dark in there
and i got scared
it's a shiny thing
that favored bling
but when the greedy go deep
the lights not seen
and they see the bell
but it doesn't ring
the mounds they have don't mean a thing
it's what they think is everything
he gave em a heart to pull those forgotten faces out
but here they are
more than they need
here they are in their fame's greed
and unfortunate souls stuck in a love drought.
your gifted with it so you may not realize
your gifted with it so you may not see as i
do you know that some people idolize
do you know that some people cry their eyes
out in the dark they wanna know
they wanna know
what it's like
your gifted life.

Jordan.
In a field of gray.
Shes beautiful when she opens her eyes and smiles that way.
Your the light that makes her shine,
your kiss on her is like holding time.
Hold her close hold her tight,
let her embrace your muscle's might.
She feels safe in those arms.
Even in a cold and dark stormy night.
She'll want to dance,
jut dance with you.
Maybe whisper in your ear...
let's dance the night through.
Then fall asleep cuddled up next to you.
Shes thinking.
Shes thinking about you.
I already miss you.

u know... just to see what they wrote.
and i came across one that simply said,
"its not all about me."
they wrote nothing about themself,
but amazingly it said everything about them.
everything that is important in a person.
what do you have when you loose your things, your pride, maybe your talent in a sport...nothing.
but if your character has the "its not about me"
you still have everything.
everything that is important.
there was this boy.
his whole life was centered around football.
division 1 football he says.
thats my life, its everything.
all i want to do is play division 1 football.
he got really good at it, it is pretty much his life,
always bragging about how good he is.
his knee blows out.
life, for him,
stopped.
he thought he had lost everything,
couldnt persue what he wanted, what he thought was truly everything.
a game.
he became depressed.
thought everything was all about him.
he started failing his classes, and wasnt going to make it.
so my theology teacher...
he knows its not all about him.
he calles up the boy's mother.
and asks if he can take the boy somewhere, and gets her permisson.
so the teacher takes the boy, in his car.
drives him to the childrens hospital.
just walks through.
looking,
at all of the smiling faces of children fighting for their life.
they know its not all about them.
they know they still have everything,
smiling, while fighting for their life.
the boy and the teacher just looking in...
room to room
smile after smile.
then the teacher asks.
boy, now is your life over,
now do u see
now do you know
"its not all about you"
the boy stops, looks the teacher in the eye,
and says wow.. no. its not all about me.
and he turned his life around.
true story.
character. it counts.

"said too much but really not enough"
And on top of that promise another promise,
too keep that promise.
I'll always love you.
I'll love you when the light shines through.
I'll love you when you start to cry.
I'll be there for you.
You are my life.
Happy tears I'll then turn and cry.
No written words can explain what you are.
No distance from you is ever too far.
You are my child,
I am here for you
....momma, I LOVE YOU TOO.
Baby your smile,
it keeps my heart with you.
Look and there it is,
always a part of you.
Every raindrop that falls from the sky,
is me thinking of you.
Every bird that sings is my happiness towards you too.
Take this ring,
my promise again.
I'll hold you tight,
kiss you light.
And take care of you
....handsome boy, I LOVE YOU TOO.
Hey!
I'll keep this promise,
be here for you.
Have fun with you.
Laugh harder with you.
Talk on the phone.
Ride my bike,
Sneak out of my home.
Pick you up.
Take you there.
Another memory for us to share
....best friends, I'M THERE FOR YOU TOO.
And the one who started it all.
Who gave us love,
love that is there,
never to fall....I LOVE YOU TOO.
too often i go through my life taking things for granted. Taking love for granted, taking happiness for granted, taking friends and family for granted, taking good times for granted. i don't stop to say i love you, to say i am here for you, and to say thank you. sometimes there is only one chance, then a chance passed up, a chance lost. i cant tell how to live your life, but how to love you life? what is happiness and love if it is not cherished? one and one, that makes two. two and some more grows to be a few. it's like happiness and love. keep it alive. it'll come for you, then grow too.
it goes. it just works.
because i love you.

Everything
Things and life flash through and then go...
Come and go like winter snow.
Winter snow.
Watching the flakes as they fall to the earth
Quiet and calm
staring, smiling at her.
Beautiful though is the abscence of knowing,
the exact time of the quiet snow's coming.
Blanketing the earth,
with comfort and knowing,
the snow is there,
it;s there and cares.
though now it's going
melting away
to come another day
it is now lost, all things must,
on the heart is a pricely cost, but
come it will
come it will
again it will come,
it does know the hearts in need,
its comfort will fill,
sometimes those friends are all you need
to comfort you
to help you see
trust in them, and and the snow will come
~thank you friends :)

RED ROSES
angels
fear
I AM
I wonder about what is ahead.
I hear friends and family reminding me I can do anything I want if I set my heart to it.
I see people who struggle, and people who make it every day.
I want to be that person who makes it.
I am a curious girl.
I pretend that everything is perfect, the way I want it to be, but
I feel if I tried that much harder; it would have been that much better.
I touch the fact that no matter what, God loves me.
I worry about letting someone down, or failing.
I cry because I know people are dying tonight.
I am a curious girl.
I understand that when I wake up in the morning, my day depends on what I make it to be.
I say not enough.
I dream about someday being a doctor.
I try to be that kind person who helps others, and
I only hope for the best.
I am a curious girl.
