"The Best Day"

I'm five years old
It's getting cold
I've got my big coat on

I hear your laugh
And look up smiling at you
I run and run

Past the pumpkin patch
And the tractor rides
Look now -- the sky is gold

I hug your legs
And fall asleep
On the way home

I don't know why all the trees change in the fall
I know you're not scared of anything at all
Don't know if Snow White's house is near or far away
But I know I had the best day
With you today

I'm thirteen now
And don't know how
My friends could be so mean

I come home crying
And you hold me tight
And grab the keys

And we drive and drive
Until we've found a town
Far enough away

And we talk
And window-shop
'Til I've forgotten all their names

I don't know who I'm gonna talk to now at school
I know I'm laughing on the car ride home with you
Don't know how long it's gonna take to feel okay
But I know I had the best day
With you today

I have an excellent father
His strength is making me stronger
God smiles on my little brother
Inside and out he's better than I am

I grew up in a pretty house
And I had space to run
And I had the best days with you

There is a video I found from back when I was three
You set up a paint set in the kitchen and you're talking to me

It's the age of princesses and pirate ships and the seven dwarfs
And Daddy's smart and you're the prettiest lady in the whole wide world

And now I know why all the trees change in the fall
I know you were on my side even when I was wrong

And I love you for giving me your eyes
For staying back and watching me shine

And I didn't know if you knew
So I'm taking this chance to say
That I had the best day
With you today

When my brother was born, my Mom and Dad made the bold decision that she would stay home to raise him. Two years later, when I was born, they withheld that value, and my mom continued to be a stay- at- home mom. This was a huge part of my life that shaped who I am today. She nurtured me, and as I got older, she was there to help me make decisions, to take care of me on sick days, to make dinner every night, to spend time with me after school, to hear what I had to say, to make me feel better, to bring me my forgotten lunch box, to listen to my worries, and to raise me. I strongly believe that having my mom home all the time made me a better person. I knew she was always there, and having that constant in my life made me confident. As I grow up, I realize that I got to have a personal, twenty-four-seven role model, and I am eternally grateful for that. I feel like this song represents all of the days spent with my mom, and everything she does for me.

Pharrell Williams - Happy (Official Music Video)

"Happy"

[Verse 1:]
It might seem crazy what I'm about to say
Sunshine she's here, you can take a break
I'm a hot air balloon that could go to space
With the air, like I don't care, baby, by the way

Uh

[Chorus:]
Because I'm happy
Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof
Because I'm happy
Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth
Because I'm happy
Clap along if you know what happiness is to you
Because I'm happy
Clap along if you feel like that's what you wanna do

[Verse 2:]
Here come bad news talking this and that, yeah,
Well, give me all you got, and don't hold it back, yeah,
Well, I should probably warn you I'll be just fine, yeah,
No offense to you, don't waste your time
Here's why

[Chorus]

Hey
Go
Uh

[Bridge:]
(Happy)
Bring me down
Can't nothing
Bring me down
My level's too high
Bring me down
Can't nothing
Bring me down
I said (let me tell you now)
Bring me down
Can't nothing
Bring me down
My level's too high
Bring me down
Can't nothing
Bring me down
I said

[Chorus 2x]

Hey
Go
Uh

(Happy) [repeats]
Bring me down... can't nothing...
Bring me down... my level's too high...
Bring me down... can't nothing...
Bring me down, I said (let me tell you now)

[Chorus 2x]

Hey
C'mon

My Dad always has the best attitude. No matter what life throws his way, he catches it with ease and makes everything okay. All my life, my Dad worked the early morning shift on his machine, which meant getting up at 1:00 AM all week long, and only returning home at 5:00 PM. He would drive sometimes two hours one way to get to his destination, but my Dad never once showed pain or frustration. He would return from work, ragged and tired, but the second he walked in the door, he had a smile on his face and his arms were ready for a hug. The second he untied his work boots, he would be acting silly and playing with Matt and me until we were tired and ready for bed. He was lighthearted and such a positive figure to be around. We could never guess that he had been working a 16-hour shift, or that he was working out in the freezing cold all day long to fix a broken cylinder. As we grew up, this was the Dad we knew. He would not only handle his problems with ease, but ours as well. He always made us feel important and worthy. Even to this day, he comes home in the best moods. He always makes us laugh, and showed me how being happy can make not only your life better, but the ones around you better also. This song always reminds me of my Dad, and how happiness truly comes from within.

Lonestar - My Front Porch Looking In (Official Music Video)

# data[].attributes.body
"My Front Porch Lookin In"

Ooh yea woo, yeah, oh yea

The only ground I ever owned was sticking to my shoes
Now I look at my front porch at this panoramic view
I could sit and watch the fields fill up with rays of golden sun
Or watch the moon lay on the fences like that's where it was hung

My blessings are in front of me it's not about the land
I'll never beat the view from my front porch looking in

[Chorus:]
There's a carrot top who can barely walk
With a sippy cup of milk
A little blue-eyed blonde
With shoes on wrong
'Cause she likes to dress herself
And the most beautiful girl
Holding both of them
Yeah, the view I love the most is my front porch looking in

Yeah, yeah

I've travelled here and everywhere
Following my job
I've seen the paintings from the air
Brushed by the hand of god
The mountains and the canyons reach from sea to shining sea
But I can't wait to get back home to the one he made for me

'Cause anywhere I'll ever go and everywhere I've been
Nothin' takes my breath away like my front porch looking in

[Chorus]

I see what beautiful is about
When I'm looking in
Not when I'm looking out

[Chorus]

There's a carrot top that can barely walk
(from my front porch looking in)
A little blue-eyed blonde
With shoes on wrong
(from my front porch looking in)
And the most beautiful girl
Holding both of them
Ooh, yeah

"My Front Porch Lookin In"

Ooh yea woo, yeah, oh yea

The only ground I ever owned was sticking to my shoes
Now I look at my front porch at this panoramic view
I could sit and watch the fields fill up with rays of golden sun
Or watch the moon lay on the fences like that's where it was hung

My blessings are in front of me it's not about the land
I'll never beat the view from my front porch looking in

Ever since I was a little girl, my family has been special. My Mom and Dad did not just have kids to have kids… they had kids to be with their kids. Every weekend, my parents would bring us to do something fun. My Mom and Dad are both fun people, so we always had the best of times. We were never babysat or forgotten about. Everything they did was for us. They sacrificed their adult life so that we could have an amazing childhood. My parents would plan so many fun activities and family trips. Sometimes, I look at photos and just can’t believe how many things they did with us. They truly wanted us to have an amazing childhood. They accomplished that 10 times over. Even now, with me being almost 18 and Matt being 20, they are still the parents they were 20 years ago. They are still sacrificing themselves for us, and my childhood would not have been as memorable as it was if they weren’t so great.

"Saltwater Gospel"

Every Sunday I see people filing in through those front doors
Got a cross up on that steeple, yeah it's time to praise the Lord
Some watch it on their TV, sittin' on the couch
Me, I get in my old Bronco and point those headlights out

Oh, ain't got too many miles to go, to save my soul

Hey I go down and sink my feet in the water
And I soak up that sun and I watch it set
Yeah, I can feel the power of the saltwater gospel
I'm as close to God as I can get

Now there ain't nothing wrong with puttin' on your Sunday best
Me, I won't be wearin' nothin' that I can't get wet
I just think about how small I am and life after we're gone
I'm out here by myself but I know I'm not alone

Yeah, I got all the proof I need and it sure makes me believe

When I go down and sink my feet in the water
And I soak up that sun and I watch it set
Yeah, I can feel the power of the saltwater gospel
I'm as close to God as I can get

Amen
I'm in heaven watchin' all these waves roll in
Amen
When I'm lost I know where to get found again

Yeah I go down and sink my feet in the water
And I soak up that sun and I watch it set
Yeah, I can feel the power of the saltwater gospel
I'm as close to God as I can get

Yeah I go down and sink my feet in the water
And I soak up that sun and I watch it set
Yeah, I can feel the power of the saltwater gospel
I'm as close to God as I can get

Nature is my getaway. Even before I could walk, my family was outside. As I grew up and gained insight of the world, I became more spiritual than religious, and nature has a huge part in this. I like to connect with and appreciate nature. Nature is like home to me. It makes me feel relaxed and content. I appreciate nature with all of my heart. I understand nature, and it soothes me. I feel connected to the Earth. On Sundays, my family goes outside and enjoys what He created, rather than listening to what He wrote. Nature is my faith, and nature is my way of connecting spiritually.

"Say"

Take all of your wasted honor
Every little past frustration
Take all of your so-called problems,
Better put 'em in quotations

Say what you need to say [8x]

Walking like a one man army
Fighting with the shadows in your head
Living out the same old moment
Knowing you'd be better off instead,
If you could only . . .

Say what you need to say [8x]

Have no fear for giving in
Have no fear for giving over
You'd better know that in the end
It's better to say too much
Than never to say what you need to say again

Even if your hands are shaking
And your faith is broken
Even as the eyes are closing
Do it with a heart wide open (a wide heart)

Say what you need to say [24x]

Kate Morneault taught me some very important lessons that not everyone has the knowledge to teach. She taught me to say what I need to say, not necessarily in words, but more in my actions. As the world changes its style, I do not have to. She showed me that it is ok to follow my own path. Because of her, I am not ashamed to show people that I am modest, or that I care about my school work. She was the high school student that I aspire to be, and she shows me that hard work, modesty, and kindness indeed gets you further than following the norms.

"I'll Be There For You (Theme From Friends)"

So no one told you life was gonna be this way
Your job's a joke, you're broke, your love life's D.O.A.
It's like you're always stuck in second gear
When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even your year, but

I'll be there for you
(When the rain starts to pour)
I'll be there for you
(Like I've been there before)
I'll be there for you
('Cause you're there for me too)

You're still in bed at ten and work began at eight
You've burned your breakfast, so far things are going great
Your mother warned you there'd be days like these
But she didn't tell you when the world has brought you down to your knees that

I'll be there for you
(When the rain starts to pour)
I'll be there for you
(Like I've been there before)
I'll be there for you
('Cause you're there for me too)

No one could ever know me
No one could ever see me
Seems you're the only one who knows what it's like to be me
Someone to face the day with, make it through all the rest with
Someone I'll always laugh with
Even at my worst, I'm best with you, yeah!

It's like you're always stuck in second gear
When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even your year

I'll be there for you
(When the rain starts to pour)
I'll be there for you
(Like I've been there before)
I'll be there for you
('Cause you're there for me too)

I'll be there for you
(When the rain starts to pour)
I'll be there for you
(Like I've been there before)
I'll be there for you
('Cause you're there for me too)

In middle school, I struggled to find “a group.” I never truly felt like I belonged. As I got older and neared the end of my middle school days, something really wonderful happened. I began to talk to a few people I had never talked to before, and I finally knew where I belonged. It was with the boys, not the girls. I’m not into drama or gossip, I just want friends to talk to and laugh with. These boys fulfilled this for me. We all instantly connected, and all 3 of them took me into their group so willingly. To this day, these 3 boys are my best friends. I can be myself around them, and we have made some great memories together. I will always be thankful to them for taking me in.

Taylor Swift - I'm Only Me When I'm With You

# data[].attributes.body
"I'm Only Me When I'm With You"

Friday night beneath the stars,
in a field behind your yard,
you and I are paintin' pictures in the sky.
And sometimes we don't say a thing;
just listen to the crickets sing.
Everything I need is right here by my side.
And I know everything about you
I don't wanna live without you.

[Chorus:]
I'm only up when you're not down.
Don't wanna fly if you're still on the ground.
It's like no matter what I do.
Well you drive me crazy half the time;
the other half I'm only trying to let you know that what I feel is true.
And I'm only me when I'm with you.

Just a small town boy and girl
livin' in a crazy world.
Tryin' to figure out what is and isn't true.
And I don't try to hide my tears.
The secrets or my deepest fears.
Through it all nobody gets me like you do.
And you know everything about me.
You say that you can't live without me.

[Chorus]

When I'm with anybody else it's so hard to be myself.
Only you can tell.

[Chorus:]
That I'm only up when you're not down.
Don't wanna fly if you're still on the ground.
It's like no matter what I do.
Well you drive me crazy half the time;
the other half I'm only trying to let you know that what I feel is true.
And I'm only me
Who I wanna be
Well, I'm only me when I'm with you
With you
Uh huh
Yeah

I never drooled over boys, and to be quite honest, I thought dating so young was pointless. BUT… then I met someone who I became best friends with. As we spent more time together and talked more, I realized that I liked him as more than a friend. SO… we started dating. It was an experiment, my first boyfriend. It turns out, the experiment was very successful and we are still best friends and going on our fourth year of dating. With Sam, I am 100% myself, which rarely happens. I trust him 100% which is very rare for me. He means a lot to me, and I can’t picture my future without him!

"Welcome To The Farm"

We've been up here in this city
Livin' in the gears that grind
Girl, it's a doggone pity
We ain't been gettin' anytime

I've been preachin' 'bout back home
How it can make you feel so alive
Tell you what we can do
Baby, let's me and you take a little drive

Welcome to the farm
Where you can roll your windows down
Baby, take my arm
Ain't hearin' nothin' such a beautiful sound?

We can take the tractor down the road
Go walkin' 'round the bend
Lay by the river, climb up in the barn
Welcome to the farm, yeah, yeah

There ain't no card in your pocket
If we're gonna turn that old gas pump on
It's cash for everythin' around here
That's just the way it's been for so long

How'd you like a coke from a green glass bottle?
It's colder than that plastic stuff
Watch how miss Annie at the counter
Tells that story 'bout me wreckin' my truck

Welcome to the farm
Where you can roll your windows down
Baby, take my arm
Ain't hearin' nothin' such a beautiful sound?

We can take the tractor down the road
Go walkin' 'round the bend
Lay by the river, climb up in the barn
Welcome to the farm, yeah, yeah

Pine straw in your hair
Not an ounce of makeup on you
As the sun goes down
Girl, I ain't never seen you lookin' so good
As you do right now

Welcome to the farm
Where you can roll your windows down
Baby, take my arm
Ain't hearin' nothin' such a beautiful sound?

We can take the tractor down the road
Go walkin' 'round the bend
Lay by the river, climb up in the barn
Welcome to the farm, yeah, yeah

Right there's and old step side
How 'bout that blue sky?
So pretty it'll make you cry
(Welcome to the farm)

We can roll on over yonder
Or sit right here and ponder
Watch the wind whirl by

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh

This spring, I started working for Bouchard Farms. I have known Janice and Joey my whole life, so having them for bosses is great! Many days this summer I worked at the store, and as I gained their trust, they started to leave and put me in charge of it. Over the summer, I built a great relationship with Janice, Joey and with their son, Phillip. I absolutely love working there, and have been continuing to work on the weekends and after school. I pick potatoes, pick blueberries, bag potatoes, help customers and run the cash. When I work there, I get a sneak-peak into the life of a farmer, and it is a new experience for me that I am enjoying very much. Working on a farm has widened my horizons, and I am thankful for the opportunity that Janice and Joey gave to me.
