Just a Little Catch Up

Hello everyone, I am in a very good mood because my favorite artist, Drake, just dropped his new album, Views, and I am in love with it! I've been listening to it since it dropped and I am currently listening to it right now. So yesterday was the coaches vs. volleyball girls game and it was horrible, I wanted to cry. We played so bad and we argued and yelled at each other and just brought each other down. I was very ashamed and embarrassed because everyone was watching and the coaches looked very disappointed. We could have definitely played better and I think we were just thrown off because of the crowd and we weren't taking it as seriously as we should have. It's okay tho, there will be a rematch very soon! I am very very happy because I came home yesterday with my progress report and I have straight A's and E's and I am very proud of myself. I wasn't feeling very well on Friday so I missed practice and I shouldn't have, I'm starting as one of the main hitters and I love my position. The only problem I have with my hitting is that when I get up to jump, I rewind and I don't get the ball in time, but I'm working on it. May and June will be a lot of fun with my friends and all the things I have planned before I leave. Making memories with the poeple I love is my favorite thing.

Very Excited!

Hey hey hey! I am very excited as you can tell and I've just been in a good mood these past days and I'm happy. I'm doing well in school and I've been doing good in volleyball, let's not jinx anything though. So this Friday is a volleyball girls VS. coaches game and I am very excited and I'm hoping that the girls win. There is like 6 more weeks of school left and graduation is right around the corner! I really want to right a graduation speech because I have a lot to say but I'm not sure I have the time and that really makes me sad. I have my dress for graduation I think but not my shoes yet, I also have my dress and shoes and jewelry for the formal dance and I'm very very excited because it will be a lot of fun. Anyways back to volleyball, we have many tournaments coming up and our jerseys are on their way and they are so nice! I got the jersey number 1 and my last name will be on it too, also the colors are black red and white. I feel like volleyball keeps me busy and it helps me focus on other things like school. I think everyone should do a sport and it doesn't have to be volleyball, but just to have some kind of sport activity can help a lot. Also we should all learn to kick out the negative things in our lives and to let go of the things that are putting us down. Make sure the hand you are holding onto isn't holding you down.

Know Yourself

Hey everyone, it's almost summer again and school is almost over! As we all know I'm moving this summer and I'm excited but sad at the same time. I don't wanna leave my friends behind and it's just hard to start over in a whole new environment but I've learned to look at the positive sides of things to make myself feel better. I'm proud of the kind of person I'm becoming, I'm learning how to react to some things that are hard to deal with. I'm a really understanding person and I help people as much as I can but sometimes people do things that are not okay and I try to be okay with it. I'm trying to teach myself how to not except things I'm not okay with, because it's time I take care of myself and do things for me. We are all working our way up to the future we want and the things we do right now are getting us closer and closer to our goal. Well tomorrow I have practice and guess what!? We raised over 1000 dollars for our volleyball team in a one day fundraiser that was held at UbaTuba in Tarzana and it's amazing. I think we have a few games coming up, like legitimate club games because now we are a club team. I am very excited, wish me luck. Xoxo

A Little Mislead

Hey guys, how is everyone? So I've been kind of having a bad time lately and my mind has just been very full. I'm kind of stressed about everything and I feel like that I'm not giving a 100% for the things that I do especially school and volleyball, I'm not happy with myself. I decided to take a little time off to regroup myself from volleyball and I'm going back this Tuesday because honestly I can't go on with my life without playing. I'm guessing that it's just the stress of end of the school year and all the things that coming with it like graduation, dance, grad night, and grades. I don't think that my grades will be a problem for me because I have good grades and I'm keeping school work under control, but to be honest I am getting lazy. I don't want to give up at this time because I pushed myself through the whole school year and I don't wanna ruin my hard work. The biggest problem on my mind is people and no matter how good you treat them, they still lie to you and go behind you back even when you give them all your trust. It makes me sick how many lies I've heard in the past weeks. I'm trying to put it behind me and I'm trying to focus on school and volleyball but I'm still bothered, and a "I'm sorry" doesn't fix everything, especially when they don't mean it. Another thing that bothers me is how people are so blinded by what on the outside of someone, and they don't see the inner self of that person. The devil wouldn't come to you in its true form, it will disguise itself to look like everything you want. I just hope this week goes well, I really need it to be.

Happy Easter!

Hey guys its Easter!  Spring is officially here and I am so happy because the weather is getter more perfect by the second, and when the weather is perfect thats when we go out to play volleyball. So today, to celebrate Easter, me and my family went on a barbecue picnic at the park and my dad and I played volleyball the whole time. I am very excited because Tuesday is the first tryout for the travel v-ball team, and even thought I am not staying I am still going until I can. I want to spend as much time as possible with my team and play with them because I will miss them so much and I owe everything that I know to my coach because I started with him and he's got me this far. The barbecue today was amazing and I had a lot of fun even though I scarped my knees a little bit. Last year I spent easter with my cousin and we went egg hunting and it was really fun, but this year was the best with my family. I hope everyone else had a great Easter as well, :)

Good erspective

Hey guy, I've got some news and theres a good part and a bad part. So my volleyball coach is starting a volleyball league for us because we won district championship and he believes that we have the potential to play club. The tryouts for the league is Tuesday and I'm going but I will not be able to play on the actual team because I will be moving and the league is about a year long. I am very sad about the fact that I can't play here, especially knowing that theres going to be many opportunities for me to go as far as I want. The good news that I have is that I got into a very good volleyball club where Im moving to, its a national team thats very serious. So I'm not so sad anymore about moving, even though I am going to miss a lot of people like my coach, my team mates, my best friends, and that one special person. I hope that everything works out and that I don't loose touch with anyone through out the time that I'm not here. I've started to look at my situation in a positive way, now I just see things as new chance and a new start to focus on myself and to work toward the goal I've set for myself. The only thing I'm going to do in Iran is work out on my volleyball and stick to my education. I see Iran as a place that is just going to get me ready and 10x better for here, just my nurturing place. Anyways I hope everyone is having a great spring break. :)      ( link to picture; http://rivals.ph )

Bussing Beach

( picture from http://www.angelenoliving.com )

Hello everyone, sorry I haven't blogged in a little while but I'm back with a wonderful story. So this Monday me and my six other friends decided to go to the beach, but we did not have a car ride so we took the bus, alone. We all met at my friends house at 7am and walked to the bus station, by 7:30 we were on our first bus. While we were on that bus we were trying to find out where we are going to and let me tell you, we were lost for a good 10 mins. As we found our next bus, in about 30 minutes, that took us through the freeway close to the beach we calmed down, mostly me because I was freaking out. By about 9am we were off the second bus and we found a Subway and Starbucks store right next to each other and we were hungry. As we spent almost an hour there eating and drinking our food, we missed our next bus so we had to wait for the next one. While we were at the bus stop, a homeless guy walked up and tried to kiss my friend! She got so scared, she stood up and ran until the guy was gone, the guy looked like he had some issues so we didn't make a big deal out of it. It was crazy but I was on the floor laughing really hard, it was so funny. As we got on our next bus, it took about another 45 minutes to get to where we wanted but we finally got there. It was about 11am when we reached 3rd street and we walked the rest way to the beach and the weather was amazing. We were finally by the shore and we went in the water and had a lot of fun. The ride back from the beach was another story, 20x more crazier, but the fun that we had ruled it all out and it was a great experience.
