    Monday, August 4, 2008 | An Inspiring story

    How do I describe the 5K walk at the SF Marathon yesterday?  It was an incredible experience; I’ll just never forget it.

  • my daddy

    Friday, October 3, 2008 | An Inspiring story

    I am writing this because im very proud of my daddy. yesterday was his 5 year aniversary of surviving lung cancer. Only 10% of people with his kind of cancer make it to the 5 year mark. He is a very strong person and a fighter. So i look up to him alot. Hope this makes people appreciate their lives and just be glad to be alive. Because i know that i dont look at the world the same anymore.

  • MY WORLD (poem dedicated to my love who is no longer my love)

    Friday, November 7, 2008 | An Inspiring story

    Why does life hate me?
    There is so much more to see, to love.
    I can not do everything right,
    when I do, it ends up wrong.
    My world doesn't seem to matter anymore.
    Give me a world where I can love,
    Please never take it from me.
    Never use my heart against me, Never hate me.
    I can be beautiful too!
    Let me show you how I can be beautiful.
    My love runs so deep and so strong,
    it is true until the end of time.
    ...
