Okay! So I just had to share this HILIARIOUS story with you about work last night!!!
So these cute little ten year old kids come in and they're all brothers there were five of them I think!
They all come up at one time and all at the exact same time they say "REFILL'S PLEASE!" it was the cutest thing ever! They kept telling us not to mix them up and we're just like okay! And then, 'Snoop-dog' and 'Justin Beiber' (He actually started singing a Justin Beiber song and dancing!!) come up and were like "Ladies, you mixed up our drink." Snoop-dog points to the cup and says "This says Coca-cola... that's not my name. It should say Snoopy Snoop!" So we wrote Snoopy Snoop on his cup and they all went and sat down. Well, Snoopy snoop comes back up to the counter and says to me "Call me." and I was just like "Okayy! Ha ha ha ha ha ha!" and he walks away then he comes up to the counter again and says "What's your name sweet-thanggggg????" Ha ha ha ha ha! Seriously, me and Mo could NOT stop laughing it was the cutest thing ever!!
I just had to tell you this story because I just about melted(; ha ha!

Taylor Mali: What Teachers Make.
He says the problem with teachers is, "What's a kid going to learn
from someone who decided his best option in life was to become a teacher?"
He reminds the other dinner guests that it's true what they say about
teachers:
Those who can, do; those who can't, teach.
I decide to bite my tongue instead of his
and resist the temptation to remind the other dinner guests
that it's also true what they say about lawyers.
Because we're eating, after all, and this is polite company.
"I mean, you¹re a teacher, Taylor," he says.
"Be honest. What do you make?"
And I wish he hadn't done that
(asked me to be honest)
because, you see, I have a policy
about honesty and ass-kicking:
if you ask for it, I have to let you have it.
You want to know what I make?
I make kids work harder than they ever thought they could.
I can make a C+ feel like a Congressional medal of honor
and an A- feel like a slap in the face.
How dare you waste my time with anything less than your very best.
I make kids sit through 40 minutes of study hall
in absolute silence. No, you may not work in groups.
No, you may not ask a question.
Why won't I let you get a drink of water?
Because you're not thirsty, you're bored, that's why.
I make parents tremble in fear when I call home:
I hope I haven't called at a bad time,
I just wanted to talk to you about something Billy said today.
Billy said, "Leave the kid alone. I still cry sometimes, don't you?"
And it was the noblest act of courage I have ever seen.
I make parents see their children for who they are
and what they can be.
You want to know what I make?
I make kids wonder,
I make them question.
I make them criticize.
I make them apologize and mean it.
I make them write, write, write.
And then I make them read.
I make them spell definitely beautiful, definitely beautiful, definitely
beautiful
over and over and over again until they will never misspell
either one of those words again.
I make them show all their work in math.
And hide it on their final drafts in English.
I make them understand that if you got this (brains)
then you follow this (heart) and if someone ever tries to judge you
by what you make, you give them this (the finger).
Let me break it down for you, so you know what I say is true:
I make a goddamn difference! What about you?

Life
Life, is the craziest thing you'll ever have to go through I've learned.
You're always going to try and be everything that others want you to be; don't. Those people aren't worth your time and you need to focus on the people that love you just the way you are, because without them, your life wouldn't be as amazing as it is today.
You're going to hurt others and others are most likely going to hurt you, but don't dwell on it. If you think you won't make it without them, then you're very wrong. You'll be okay. And you'll find someone so much better.
Life goes on. It doesn't stop for you! If you're havin a bad day always remember that there's no reason to be upset! You only have one life, it's not like a video game where you get several. So laugh and smile about everything, fall in love like you'll never get hurt, make new friends and tell the old ones that you love them and still care. Cry, open your heart, and just be yourself! Everything will be okay in the end, you just have to pull through the hard time and cherish the great times.
Live life the way you want to, and don't let anything or anyone get in the way of that!<3

R-E-S-P-E-C-T!!!(:
Have I ever told anyone that boys are the stupidest things to walk this earth??(:
Now, I'm not going to wish bad things upon anyone here but I will say:
Who do you think you are? You're playing girls right and left and I really don't understand why. In my opinion, your throwing away one of the best you can find. You're breaking a heart that doesn't need to be broken. She's such a good person and I just hope that one day you will regret throwing someone like her away! What you're doing is wrong...... please learn some respect! Thank you!<3
