Someone who has helped me get to where I am, and kept me going. Is probably myself, my mom, or my best friends. It has taken me awhile to realize what I should be grateful for, and why I should be thankful for the people in my life. I have found that through time, I am a beautiful soul and deserve everything that I say I don’t, I have gotten myself through difficult times, I have been there, I have made myself calm down after I cry, I have made the progress others said wouldn’t happen, I have shut people out for my own good, I have made the biggest difference in my own life. But, so has my mom. My mom is the most wonderful person I have ever met. She stands her ground and is the toughest, most independent woman I know. Through all the fights with dad, she is very stubborn and fights for her opinion. But, no matter how rock solid her emotional appearance is on the outside.. what she chooses not to show people. I know that she really is the most vulnerable, calming, intelligent, and sensitive woman who won’t fret to remind me that she loves me. She doesn’t want for me everything that she’s had to go through which makes her seem so intimidating. But I love her no matter what. Some people who have also been there for me is my best friends. Katie, River, I really care about them. They both have really exquisite personalities and I love them no matter their bad days, or what they’ve gone through. I want to be there for them, and want them to be there for me. They’ve given me so many good memories, they’ve been present. Along with someone really special to me named Reece,  he’s made my life so meaningful, his cringy sweet comments that me me laugh. Overall, he’s the best person ever and I care about him so much. He makes me smile and laugh, and he proves that everyday through little good mornings and good nights. 😊

I feel that this saying to me means that no matter how horrible or bad you are someone will save you from you path of wretchedness and comfort you enough that you change or feel like that you can do better, and so that you don't feel like all your good for is bad.

Meaning of grace: the bullied, the kind, graceful voiced, and more

Some people who have made my life better when being there with me is Lauren/Ren, Lucy, Emma, Kendra, and others. For the past few days my dad has been insulting me, shaming me, and saying that I’m delusional. This really hurts me and I know what I did was wrong but even after saying why I did it and sharing my feelings he just changed and hated me.

I have two very special people in my life who truly make me somewhat see the best in me and of me.
My mom is my savior, because without her I wouldn’t be able to see the things she sees in me. She helps me realize that I shouldn’t worry about my past, but that I should live in the moments I am making. Making the most out of what I have. She believes in me no matter what and is proud of who I am, even if I don't think so.
My best friend is my savior because she also saves me from my worries and doubts. She cares for me with her whole heart and I’ve never had a friend like her. She loves me for who I am, and tells me that I have lots of things to be proud of in myself. She makes me believe in myself, and makes me feel good about the person I am.

-Grace:
An act of mercy
-(Gracefully) Done beautifully

If I where to sing to someone, I would want it to be my dad.
I say this because my dad recently tore his ACL of his bone in a snowboarding wipeout. And he‘s frustrated with himself because he made a mistake he thinks he shouldn‘t have made. Anyways I just wanted to put that down as mine

A friend, family member or maybe just a stranger helping you through something, making you smile, or loving you for who you are. I know that my mom and my best friends have helped me through so much the past couple years. I feel so lucky to have them. They make me smile every day, and I am just so grateful for the stupid jokes and teasing that they bring into my life. Also, the people who I’m not as close to as well. Sometimes i can have just the slightest compliment and it makes me feel really good about myself. Thank you all

My saving grace throughout all of my tough times have been my best friends. Jillian and Mikaela who are both apart of my choir family and Elina who is not in choir have always been there for me whenever I need someone to make me smile or just tell me it’s all going to be okay. No matter what, I can always count on them to brighten my day. They are all three kind, compassionate, loyal, trustworthy and so much more. The only other thing that I can say about them is how much I appreciate them for always having been there for me and always continuing to be there for me without fail. They truly are my saving grace and I don’t know what I would do without them. -Abby Swearingin

My amazing grace is all the amazing things I have gotten through doing theater. I have made many different friends all across the Kansas City Metro through theater. It truly brings me and joy and I cant imagine a time in my life where I was not singing acting or dancing. Theater always gives me someone to talk to about anything or anyone.

My great grandma was one of the most amazing people ever. I truly feel like she was the definition of grace because she was such an amazing person who always had a connection with people and who always loved people no matter what.

My family and I don’t always get along, whether it’s disagreeing over tiny things or just not liking what the other person did. But eventually we make up always, it may sound weird but it’s truly something to be thankful for, knowing you’ll always have the grace of your family no matter what.

Right as you said think about someone who has been there for you, my mind went straight to Hunter. She has always been there for me since elementary school and I am grateful to have her as a friend. Her parents have always accepted me as part of her family. I love doing duets with her. She has always been there in my toughest times. We support each other and even if we go for the same roles in shows, we always spread positivity to each other.
