10. the day that I feel I've changed a child's life
11. the day that I'm at Exposure 2011 singing praise to God and I realize that the past year has not been a waste, but that I'm stronger in Christ and I've been beneficial to His kingdom in the past year.
people that changed me in 2010
1. paige jelks

8. jessica mccord
9. kristin clevenger
10. anyone who made a stand for the faith while I was silent, and taught me to be unashamed
11. the ones who get left out, the outcasts who sit at lunch alone, those that have learned how to be unliked and are not afraid to be unpopular, those who are secure in their abnormalities compared with worldliness and are proud to be different, those who are braver than me to be who they are and try to please no one but God almighty even if the whole world is against them.
