The 30 Hour Famine


So last saturday i did the 30 hour famine, and i know all of you are thinking whats the 30 hour famine? well its where i fasted for 30 hours strait to help raise awareness. It showed us how much kids in other countries starve so much and that more than 26,000 kids under the age of 5 die every day from preventable causes like disease, poverty, and HUNGER. So now your thinking, well just starving yourself isnt going to help those kids. So we had this fundraiser where we get sponsers to donate and every dollar that i get feeds a kid for a day. so i raised 60 bucks, im feeding a kid for 2 months. i just think it really showed how bad those kids are suffering, because america is SPOILED, i mean those kids cant go to the frige and get peanutbutter or whatever you want when your hungry, those kids depend on rain for their food to grow and they can eat finally, those kids have to walk like maybe 5 miles just to get water and then walk back! i mean it really got to me how spoiled we really are, i mean the poorest person here most likely has more than those people in Africa do. And so since i started going to my youth group and church, i found out about it and we had a lock in at the Middle School, but sadly i only fasted for 24 hours because (well it started at noon on friday and ended in the evening on saturday) i stopped at noon on saturday, because the lady there said if you feel sick then you should eat something and i felt sort of (this is gonna sound funny) delusional, and didnt really feel like i was all there, I ate an orange. But i mean 24 hours is still pretty long, i mean thats one hole day and i only got like 4-5 hours of sleep friday night. But on Saturday we did these survuce projects to help out the community, so the middle schoolers just picked out around the school and made it look really nice outside. And the lucky highschoolers got to go to other places and help out, because they went to the Humane Society and helped there which i thought would be a lot more fun then picking up trash and leaves, but oh well. So at the end of this 30 long and tough hours, all of us including the highschoolers got to eat pizza, it was like so releiving to eat something and like stuff your face with it, but it was a really good learning expeience i think.

A hole Bunch of random Updates!!! :P






OK so here it goes-

First i needed to put on my random pics for the month, by the way the one with the other girl in it is my bff lauren, were insane, Haha and the one where my hairs crazy (beautiful) thats when my awesome neighbor did my hair on the bus ride home, her names abigail. I call "Abigail's Work" :D

Second CSAP is here once again... ug, if you remember my post last year about it, it was called Csap whats the point? well i still have the same opinion about it, except all of the teachers are freaking out about it this year, it like apparently depends on what classes we'll be taking in 8th grade and in high school... bla, i dont know if thats actually true but if it is, it just makes us all more nervous about it when its usually pretty easy. but yes again this year we get breakfast in class before the test which makes it more inviting but i still dont want to take it.

i got a new mp3!

and third, Summer- in march?? ok so we have been having the craziest weather this year im pretty sure it was like 70 degrees today and i wore flip-flops. its not making much sense because usually in colorado we have like the most snow in march, and we havent even had one snow day this year, its crazyness!
