Wow! This week actually turned out to be more eventful than I thought. I only thought I would have Magic Belle practice all week and I actually got to volunteer with Project Apple Tree and go speak at the New Age of Bullying Conference with The Bully Suicide Project(BSP).

In the middle of the week Beaux Wellborn, co-founder of BSP, asked me to go to the conference and speak about my thoughts of bullying. Being a former victim of bullying this was close to my heart. I spoke about my experiences as being bullied as well as how I believe the school system does and does not handle it correctly. I was part of the "Student Panel". It was group of teenagers who spoke about bullying. I would definitely say the best part was being able to hear everybodies stories. I was interviewed by The Dallas Morning News and my picture and some of my quotes are in this morning's paper. Here is my picture from the paper.


Tomorrow is the big day for Apple Tree. It is distrubution day!! I get to paint girls fingernails while they wait to get their hair cut. It should be tons of fun!
