Hi,my name is Alexis and I am a Dream Maker. What is the difference between a Dream Maker and a Dream Breaker? Character! When you are a champion,when you do the things you are suppose to do,when you are positive,hang around positive people,and choose your actions wisely. For example: My dream is to be a veterinarian because a lot of sick animals are dying because of their owners mistreating them. When those owners end up killing those animals,they are Dream Breakers. They are breaking MY dream of all animals being free,just like us. I heard you talking about how to be a champion. I am one of the people in my class who is a champion. In fact,I was one of the first. I think what you were saying really inspired me to be a better person,and even when those Dream Breakers make me sad,I will be the bigger person,walk away,and calm myself,because,as you said,it takes too much energy to become angry (Or something you said that was pretty close to that). I will then show off and lead as an example and promise myself,I WILL BE THE BEST I CAN BE!!! My experiences with Dream Breakers has helped me to do that,and be my very best. Like when I was in second grade. This new girl came into our class one day,and she was smiling like the sun. She was really pretty,and she seemed like a very happy person,which I like (You wouldn't like to be hanging around a person that brings you down!) . She apparently didn't have any friends,because she was quiet. All those nice things I said about her,they were COMPLETELY wrong labels. When I introduced myself to her,she replied,"I don't care!" At first,I thought that she just might be mad,because it was her first day,and she didn't have any friends. After she went out of her comfort zone,she must have been jealous of me and my best friend,Giselle,because she caused a whole bunch of fights between us. Giselle and I were almost complete enemies. Until one day,that new girl told Giselle a bunch of lies,and me and Giselle started to fight. I punched her in her stomach,and she cried. It felt so wrong,knowing I was her best friend one second,and her enemy the next. I ran to her side,pleading my case. I couldn't make up any excuses any more. I owned up to my HORRIBLE mistake and she forgave me right away. That new girl got so mad,she started to tell more lies. She cussed,and the lies got so bad,she made one up (I cant really tell because I might get in trouble for something,and she told me not to tell,and I promised and I will just being dishonest to myself), and when her and Giselle were fighting,she told me the truth. After she and Giselle made up,I felt that the new girl would be cheating their friendship,because she constantly lied to her about that same lie. I had to tell Giselle the truth,so I did. At first she didn't believe me,so she sat me and the new girl down(kind of like court)and we pleaded our case. The new girl lied er way out of it,and that added to the long list of things. I had a lot of proof of how bad she was,so I talked to Giselle privately.Giselle saw through her (like she was bathing in Windex) and the new girl got so mad,she started telling me all these Yo Mama jokes,and they were PRETTY cheesy. I just told the teacher,and she understood. She removed the new girl from my class,and she went home to tell her mom,and her mom made a big deal about it,and made her move to a different school. I guess when I actually listen to people that come to our school,like you,It has a bunch of affect on my life. Do you know what I kept saying in my mind the whole time you talked?
"Preach on,man,preach on!"

Tearing Off My Labels Song
Chorus:
Start tearing off your labels don't live up to the bad,
Because other people are just trying to make you sad.
You say just because I wear glasses,I'm a geek,
But they're just something that makes me,me!
(Verse 1)
When someone puts a negative label on you,
They're trying to make you mad,when they know it isn't true.
It makes you mad,but you walk away,
Are you going to let them make you sad...NO WAY!
You think I'm dumb,Oh Please!
But I really shine like a star,can you see me?
(Chorus)
(Verse 2)
Live up to the good,not the bad.
Because if you do that,you will be glad.
What other people say,it doesn't matter,
Don't fight back,
It's not enough to be good if you can be better!

Tearing Off Labels: Assignment #1
Don't you HATE it when somebody puts a label on you that you are nothing like?Well,a lot of people do that to me.Some people think I'm just a quiet girl that is lazy and is dull and has no personality.Well,I'm not like that.I think the reason while they think that is because I'm obediant and I am,but I also know how to loosen up and have a good time.I don't do that to people that I don't trust and that aren't my friends.But the truth is,I just don't like to trust people because they can go and tell my business to everybody.That's I don't have a lot of friends,but I do have a lot from my old school,because that is where I grew up.That is the down side to having labels.But,a whole bunch of people like me because I don't interupt them and I actually listen to what they have to say.It's really hard to explain myself because I'm not the one dealing with myself.If somebody wanted to know what I was like,they should just ask somebody that I hang around with INSIDE AND OUTSIDE SCHOOL.I love that I have an accepting personality,but I'm not afraid to stand up for what I think is right.I'm also funny,because I grow up around a lot of funny people.I also don't like fighting with someone,but I'll do it if it is a life-or-deat situation.NOT AT SCHOOL.Some people think that I'm weird and ugly,but I don't care.If they don't know me and if they don't like me,why in the world would they make up things about me?I think I was given those labels because I don't like to be around people that I don't know.I get mad easily,but I'm the suffer-in-silence type.I don't like to bring other people down with my mysery.The last thing I want to do is live up to those labels.Doing what I think is right just makes me,me!Like when people don't like me JUST because I don't go to church.SO what!If they judge everybody by their cover,where would that get them in life?I still believe in God and Jesus,I just don't know about Easter or Christmas or anything.I pray more than people that go to church do,and I have a calender that has a different prayer every day,and I do it!With my posotive labels,I will be rich and go to Africa and take all the homeless people out of it.I feel so sorry for them,nobody should be living that way.What would happen when we all live up to our negative labels?We would end up homeless.Like those people in Africa,accept that they might not have lived up to those negative labels.So if you feel like you need some posotie reinforcement,just look in the mirror,list everything good about yourself and remember what makes you,you.

What I did on my extra day off.....YAAWN!!!
I saw about 200 magnificent gifts perfectly wrapped in the dark corner,just practically waiting for me to join the party.
"Happy birthday to you!" All these voices sang to me.I didn't recognize anybody.I didn't really care(happy dreams bring out the worst state of mind in me).I kept repeating about 1,000 times in the back of my mind,"presents, here I come!!!"
The next thing I knew,It felt like sandpaper was sliding across my face,leaving a trail of warm,wet slobber,like a snail does..except..it...doesn't slobber.I sadly woke up.The image was disturbing.My dumb dog was basically devouring my face.I knew it was too good to be true.There goes my day.
When I went to my "beautiful" bathroom,I needed to clean out my frog's tank.Yeah,that's right!!!I still have my African Dwarf Frog from that fourth-grade science experiment.I just HAD to be cursed with the gift of wonderful-taking-care-of-stuff-goodly.I wish I could say the same thing about my desk at school.SOOO...I brushed my delicious-smelling morning breath (AAAH!!).Oh yeah,and my teeth,too.
Next,I went downstairs to see what I could get for breakfast:
Don't feel like cooking
No time for cooking
Picky mood
HAVE TO HAVE SUGAR!!! phase
I went upstairs to tell my mom.She told me that my dad had already been at the donut shop.YEEESSSS!!!The donuts that we usually get are actually very unhealthy.But HEY,you got to indulge in 2 0r 3(if youre feeling lucky)donuts evry now-and-then.The ones I am talking about I like to call the half-and-half.Some places don't have them so you'll have to special order them.The top are Sweet and glazed and the Bottom are chocolate and flavorful(I like to turn mine upside-down).
After he got back from the long,hungry,sufferful,agonizing journey,everyone ate 2 donuts,and that really filled me up.When I was done it was time for my daily "workout."My sister and I turned on the radio and started jammin.We sang (OK),we danced(good),and occasionally,we spit about 5 freestyle verses.When we were all done,I thought I'd drink an ice-cold glass of water so I can get a head-start on not getting sore.I decided to go into my mom's HUMUNGOUS room so I can watch recording of South Park on her DVR.OK,I know that show might be a little on the PG-13 side,but Stan,Kyle,Butters,Eric,Token,Clyde,Craig,and Kenny remind me of my friends.At that very time,it was special...LUNCH TIME!!!This might sound wierd,but I ate Pop-Tarts for lunch.Hey it's healthy,cheap,and fiils you up.Like every food should!When I was finished eating,I was bored so I started to text my friend from my class.The stupid cell phone battery died,so I used my mom's cell phone.After that,I went into the Media room to watvh my favorite movie..I think.It's called Juno.Whenever the movie was all over,I called my friend.We talked about her last birthday party 2 months ago,and I have the right to say,It was a pretty quick talk.It got me thinking:What do I want to do for my birthday?It sure is coming up quick!My birthday is on October 15,and I need to think about where I want to have it at,and who I want to invite.I will invite 6 of my BFFs and go to the movies or something.I can't have it at anywhere big and fancy,because I had a (about) $500 birthday party last year at Incredible Pizza and Invited around 12 people.When I got through chillin' for about one hour and a half(chillin means to lay down,listen to music and think),It was 5:00.I helped my mom cook pancakes and bacon as we both watched 106 and Park on BET(music videos).It was actually very good.Who knew I could cook?!Finally,I came upstairs and started typing this blog about my whole magnificant day.I sure am living the good life!!!To round up my day,I watched a scary movie and went STRAIGHT to bed(not a very good idea).
