A Marshmallow’s First Prom

Sparkler leans into the couch, a rear leg dangling lazily off the side as she flicked through a magazine in front of her. Twilight pokes her head into the room. "won't your date be here soon?" "Probably." Sparkler responds, glancing at her mother. "And this is a party, not a date." Twilight waited a beat for her to say more, but she didn't. "You don't seem...ready." she finally tells her daughter. "I'll get dressed up when she gets here, it's only noon." Sparkler says, brushing her off. Twilight goes to say something else, but the door suddenly comes to life with knocking, and twilight goes to answer it.

Huffing, Sekkachi finally stops sprinting to knock on the front door. She'd woken up late, having stayed up late eating junk and watching anime. She was slightly overweight, which made running distances harder - she never cared for exercise.

Twilight Swings the door open, smiling brightly. She initially looks a bit too far up, and seems a bit surprised by how short Sekkachi is. She shakes it off quickly enough though. "Hello, you must be Sekkachi!" Sparkler saunters to the door, straining to peek from behind her tree of a mother. "Hey Sek." Sekkachi blushes on seeing Sparkler. "H-hi. Don't call me your date, PLEASE..." She walks in.Sparkler raises an eyebrow. "I never called you my... you know what, sure." she says, rolling her eyes.

"I overslept....sorry about that." She gets a sheepish look on her face. "Um. What now?" Her manes full of chips and chocolate from snacking all night, and more a mess than normal. "Apparently 'now' we need to get the food out of you mane, because I'll be damned if we're getting a tailoring done with your hair like that." Sparkler huffs, grabbing her by the hoof and leading her to their bathroom upstairs.

Sekkachi is slightly annoyed with how forceful Sparkler was. "a...tailor...what? What are we getting?" She shrugged, pouring a glob of shampoo into her mane and rinsing it with water, missing half of the food. "Dresses, hun. This is a somewhat formal event." Sparkler tells her in a sarcastic tone. Sekkachi rolls her eyes a bit. "I thought it was a party. Not some royal wedding anniversary or something!" She joked. Sparkler continues. "And your mane is still all messy! You have crumbs in it, and it's all..." she trails of and squints, struggling for the right word. "Clumpy!" She finally settles on, flicking at a loose strand up front that intertwined itself with another."

Sekkachi snorts and brushes a hoof through her mane. Bits of chips came out. "Oops. Yeah, those are probably last week's chips..." "Last week? What, do you not bathe?" Sparkler snorts, smiling at her joke as she wipes more crumbs to the floor. They could be swept later. Sekkachi nodded. "Yeah. Just a big waste of time to me.” Sparkler finds herself with a smear of chocolate on her forleg as she brushes through Sek’s mane, though to her it was unidentified brown mark that she shrivels her nose at. “Oh, and that's just chocolate from a month ago. It's not...what you might be thinking. Just month old chocolate. I fall asleep eating, okay?"

Sparkler stares at her, eye twitching. "Month old...that's not the improvement you think it is!" She exclaims, walking over to the bathtub and plugging it, water already starting to fill it. "We're not goin' to the one party in Ponyville that has an ounce of class being filthy. When's the last time you had a bath, anyway?" Knowing Sparkler wouldn't like it, she hesitated to answer. "Um...gosh. When I last saw my parents. So, two years ago?" She smiles sheepishly.

Sparkler stops in the middle of getting a variety of different, nice smelling soaps and washes. "How do you..." she begins, then shakes her head. "You know what? I really don't want to know. Let's just Get you clean so I can forget I heard that." A small shudder goes down her spine at the thought of all the build-up something like that would cause. Sek giggles a bit. "Alright." Her coat has the years of bits of food, blood, sweat, everything all caked and congealed under the long fur. Her mane is worse, adding a thick layer of dandruff to the mix. She steps into the bathtub, waiting. "lordy" Sparkler mutters, now wishing that she had taken her mother's advice and sprung to do this yesterday.

She gazes over an assortment of body washes, finally plucking a blue bottle with her mouth, and begins to drizzle a generous helping onto Sek's back, muttering "Hold still" through the bottle.Secretly enjoying this, Sekkachi held still patiently without a fuss. "..Why IS it so important? Do I smell bad at all because of it? I know I can't tell..."

"Well, not really, surprisingly." Sparkler admits, working the soap through Sek's fur with her hooves "But going without cleaning isn't healthy! It's breedin’ ground for bacteria, and any wound is bound to get infected!" She explains to the mare, moving to get a sponge as she does so. "Plus, it has to be making you itchy. I can barely skip a day showering without feeling like I have bugs all over me." Sek shrugs. "Did at first. Guess I got so used to it I was desensitized. I just prefer to lay in bed, eat junk food, and watch anime or play games. What do you do in your spare time? I also find going outside pointless...just like exercise. Time wasted!"

"Well, I do a lot of farm work. Not the best activity, but it builds muscle." she admits, pausing to flex a rear leg, proving her point. Sparkler has some kick to her. "When I'm not doing that, I'm mostly hanging out with friends. I guess I read sometimes."

Sek replies, "Farm work? Sounds boring...wouldn't you rather skip that and chill with your friends then? It sounds hard��” "Well, yeah. I do that all the time." Sparkler snorts. "Point is, When you work out, you get ripped. And exercise highs." She explains, dumping a generous amount of hair shampoo into her hooves. “Am I done being cleaned?” Sekkachi mutters. "No. I haven't even started on this hair!" Sparkler says, before suddenly scrubbing it into her scalp.

After a pause, the pink mare asks "Did your parents not tell you it's not healthy to be so...sedentary? Or that you should keep clean?" Sekkachi shakes her head. "Well, yeah. They were pretty strict..." She hesitates, debating whether to continue. "..which is why I ran away and bought my own place." She gives a quiet moan of satisfaction from feeling Sparkler's hooves in her mane.

Sparkler makes a small face of concern from behind Sek, having moved onto attempting to separate the tangled up mess of hair before her. "How'd you get the money for that?" Sekkachi again hesitates. "Well..I stole my dad's wallet." Her voice goes to a whisper. "Oh..I didn't realize it would feel so good to get cleaned." Sparkler's mouth makes a thin line, but she doesn't say anything. She finally finishes the bath itself with taking a cup and pouring some of the water over Sekkachi, rinsing the mare. "Alright, I think we just need to brush the mane out a bit. Then we can go to aunt Rarity's."

Sekkachi nods. "Alright." She sits still further. She's surprised Sparkler didn't immediately reprimand her. "I guess, after that we put dresses on and go?" The brush goes through the knots, pulling the hair a bit as it did. Sek only cringes slightly at the tug. "Sorry" Sparkler mumbles. "Rarity told me she had the dresses almost ready, she just needs a few more measurements form you. Then we'll go."

Sekkachi nods. "Okay then!" She smiles, then gets a bit more serious. "Can I ask...what was your..uh, reason for picking me of all ponies?" Sparkler doesn't look at Sekkachi right way, instead focusing on the little tangles. "Well, I..." she coughs, shifting on her hooves. "I just thought... I mean, you seemed available." She mutters, suddenly putting the brush away. "C'mon then, let's go." She giggles hearing the stutters. "Makes sense. Alright!" She stands too fast, falling flat on her face. "Im fine. Landed on a towel. I'll follow, because...yeah."

Sparkler giggles back, leading her downstairs. Twilight's eyes widen at them. "You're still here?" she asks, a bit indignantly. Her daughter shrugs. "We still have time." She replies, leaving her mother to just shake her head at her. Sparkler trots through town, turning down sideroads and allies with the confidence of someone who'd walked a path a million times. Mostly because she had. Sekkachi is slightly uncomfortable, following Sparkler. "...aren't these allies dangerous?!" She looks side to side and behind her to make sure they weren't followed. "Not in Ponyville. I've never had problems, anyway." Her date shrugs. As they exit the ally, the boutique comes into view.

"Will she be able to dress me? I'm a bi on the..big side." Sparkler Stifles a laugh at the dumb pun. "I've lost bets on whether Aunt Rarity could dress a pony and make them look good, she can handle a bit of chub." Sekkachi loosens up, then straightens her posture. "..how formally do I speak? Fashion ponies are..usually strictly formal, right? At least the ones I've met.."

Sparkler looks at her for a beat, then busts up. "I mean, Rarity complains about ponies dragging mud in enough, but Ponyville's not exactly the epicenter of formalities!" she says, still giggling to herself. "You're fine hun. I could pull out my really thick farm accent, and she wouldn't care." Sekkachi nods, smiling, and silently follows her into the boutique.

A bell softly rings out as the door opens, and instantly the clicking of hooves could be heard along it. Rarity comes into view, her smile looking a touch strained. "Sparkler, you're a touch late dear." She tells them through gritted teeth. "Sorry Aunt Rarity, I got held up." Sparkler shrugs. The unicorn sighs, then looks to Sekkachi with a small smile. "You must be the date. I'm Rarity." Sekkachi nods. "Nice to meet you, ma'am. I'm Sekkachi Orichalcos." She brustles her mane a bit. "So you're the tailor in Ponyville, right? Also..I thought the Elements of Harmony were unrelated?"

Rarity smiles. "ah, that's just what Sparkler calls me. The elements are quite close, as you can imagine, so we all ended up being unofficial "aunts" to each other's kids." She explains with a small shrug, then levitates a some measuring tape over to Sekkachi. "I just need some dress measurement really quick, if you don't mind dear." she hums, glancing at Sparkler. "Sparkler, your dress is already done, it's in my workroom. Could you go try it on?" Sparkler nods and strolls up the stairs.

Sekkachi nods. "Okay!" She steadies herself, stays still, and allows the unicorn mare to measure her. "I hope to Tartarus I don't spill anything tonight.." She says, seeing how well made and well looking the dresses were. Rarity hums as she takes measurements, floating a little notepad to write numbers it. "The material I'm using for your dress should be fairly washable, but do be careful with it." she replies, wincing at the thought.

Sekkachi nods. "Does this kind of job ever get exhausting? Seems like it could..really destroy your brain if you do too much in one day." "I find that the creative outlet makes up for it, And I do takes breaks from it!" she explains.

Sekkachi nods. She stays still for a moment, then takes out her small, portable radio and lets the loud anime theme songs blast. Her ears go flat and she cringes as the Music goes on blast. "I'm going to...finish those stitches now." The unicorn says quickly, trotting off. "Sekkachi, what the 'ell is that?" Sparkler's voice suddenly calls from the stairs.

Sekkachi yells back "It's anime music!" She starts to sing along. "I'm waiting for Miss Rarity to finish the dress!" "It's LOUD." Sparkler snorts, her hoof steps coming down the stairs. She rounds into the room, in a layered dress the same blue as her eyes with a silver belt.

Sekkachi laughs. "So?! I do this every night, may as well while I wait!" Her voice gets louder than the music itself. "Oh, is that why you were late?" Sparkler asks sarcastically. "What's this from, anyway? Sekkachi nods, not hearing the sarcasm. "Well, these songs are from Fairy Tail! Not...that kind of Tail."

Sparkler's about to say something, but Rarity trots back it with a "Done!", interrupting her. A long, green dress with pale highlights and a red sash is floating in her magic. "Try this on, will you?" Sekkachi forgets her music is on and takes it into the changing room. She carefully puts it on, only getting some dust on the very front of it. "Its..great!" She marvels, walking out. "I love it, thanks!"

Rarity smiles with pride. "I'm so glad, dear. I'm gonna wave the cost as a favor to Sparkler, So you're all set!" She says with a little nod. Sparkler glances at the clock, then chokes a bit. "It's already 6!? We need to go!" She yells, grabbing onto sekkachi. "Thank you again for the dresses, Rarity!" She says, nudging her date out the door.

Sekkachi nods, "Thank you Miss!" She runs out blindly. "Oh. Right. Lead the way, I sure as Tartarus don't know it..." "Well, from here we can just follow the crowd." Sparkler shrugs, pointing at the small line-turned-moshpit of young ponies trying to funnel into the ponyville castle. The crowd seemed surprisingly careful not to step on everyponies dresses, but was still rather cramped.

Sekkachi looks around. "Okay. So...um. Prom is like a dancing thing right? Or is it more than that? I never heard of it, it just sounded fun..." "I think so, this is actually my first time." Sparkler admits, scanning the crowd. "I think you mostly dance. And talk, I guess."

Sekkachi nods briskly. "Got it! RACE YA!" She dashes ahead. She normally hated running, but she knew Sparkler must like it and wanted to entertain her. Sparkler grins and sprints, almost immediately pulling ahead with her stronger, longer legs. Some of the other ponies giggled and "awwed" watching them give chase with one another.

Sekkachi nearly trips, but another mare catches her. She runs to catch up, but loses Sparkler in the crowd. "Hey! Can you stop? I can't...pant...run anymore.." Her head is moist from sweat already, she had to sit and breath for a moment.

It takes a few moments, but sparkler's head pops above the crowd for a second, looking for her lost date. Another minute, and she pops up again, this time a little closer. "Sekkachi?" she calls, before she descends back into the sea of other ponies. Sekkachi curses, her height being a hindrance here. She wanders, not realizing she's going backwards. "Um..Sparkler? Can you yell?!"

Sparkler pushes herself up again, and with a small jump she pokes through the crowd. "SEKKACHI, OVER HERE!" She calls, catching a small glimpse of her cotton-candy hair. She lands with a grunt, and pushes towards the rough direction of her date. Sekkachi hears the yell, turning face and walking through towards Sparkler until she sees her. "Phew! My fault. Sorry, Sparkler."

Sparkler gives a nervous chuckle as she trots to Sekkachi. " let's try to stay together, at least until we get inside." she teases. They were a bit further back in the line now, but it was at least moving.Sekkachi nods. She blushes, and her inner alarms blare, but she gives Sparkler a short hug before they push through. "Wow, it's a pretty popular event!" She remarks.

Sekkachi’s eyes gleam when she hears anime music coming from the building. "YAAS! Woo!" "Oh boy. Where's that coming from?" Sparkler laughs, her ears flicking about to catch it. She gives a dramatic fake huff. "Somepony will be getting a strongly worded letter about such music choices!" Sekkachi laughs along. The music blasts even more as they inch closer to the castle. "Well...I can't say I'd write that letter!" She recognizes the next song and begins singing. "...is my singing bad? Sorry." She stops suddenly. Sparkler smiles at her date. "naw, hun. You sing fine." she tells her, ruffling her mane. "Nothing wrong with showing your love, anyway."

The event is open-door, you could even see pegasi couples simply fly onto the balconies above to avoid the crowds at the door. Once the pair squish through the doorway, the castle itself became far more open as ponies wandered into different halls. Sekkachi stares in wonder. "It's huge...I...where do we go? I feel lost already!" She took the splendor of the castle in, tuning out for a moment.

"well, I know there's a lounge area over this way." Sparkler hums, pointing to an arc on the left. "Has some nice couches. And probably food." Sekkachi nods. "Let's go!" She walks over to the lounge, which, indeed, has some comfortable-looking couches and tables upon tables of food. "Oof. I'm overeating TONIGHT..." she mutters.

"No getting it in your hair!" Sparkler teases, playfully wiggling a hoof at her. She gets herself her own plate, mostly pastries and some fruit. A lush chocolate fountain sits in the middle of one of the tables, which sparkler pokes a strawberry into.

Sek's eyes draw to the chocolate, but she goes for the savory foods first, overloading her plate to the point she needed a tray as food spilled over. Finding a free couch with a table, she set the mound down. "Want any? My first serving, I can share.." Sparkler shrugs, munching on her own sweets she's piled up on. "If I want some, I'll get some." She tells her. "Mom'll have a fit if I only eat sugar, though. I'll have a sandwich later."

Sekkachi digs in, not noticing she's eating messily. She does take care not to sully her dress, but she constantly gets crumbs around her mouth. In a space of 20 minutes, she's finished. "Oof...I'm full. Time for dessert!" Sparkler is still chewing on her own pastries, giggling. "Can you fit dessert? Because I'd be impressed." She chuckles, reaching for the sandwich she's promised to eat.

Sekkachi nods. "Oh yeah. Maybe, I'll go for seconds.." However, she already finds getting off the couch to be a challenge as she takes one of every dessert, while Sparkler takes a few more treats for herself. The lounge is beginning to fill up, which isn't surprising given the vicinity to the entrance.

Sekkachi eats her food quickly, then sits. She moaned, "Told you I'd overeat...You done eating too?" She's eaten enough to be bloated. "Mind helping me onto the couch? It's higher than my bed.."Sparkler nudges Sekkachi with a shoulder, pushing her up on the cushion. "I'd offer to find us somewhere you can be bloated in privacy, but I don't know if you're in a state to travel." She tells her, climbing into a spot next to her.

Sekkachi giggles. "I can walk, I just can't pull myself up. Where would you suggest we go? I'd rather not be in the public eye too long like this." "Well, I'm guessing there won't be ponies in the bedrooms. I mean, not an unlocked bedroom." Sparkler snickers. "Besides that, I'm sure there's some random room around here that's empty."

Sekkachi giggles and walks with her slowly, spotting an empty bedroom. 'Here!" She walks inside, pushing up onto the short bed. "So...whatcha want to do now?" She motions for Sparkler to shut the door. It shuts with a light click, and sparkler snuggles next to her date on the bed. "I don't know, this beds pretty comfy though." Sekkachi nods and rests her head on a pillow. Losing track of time, she quickly falls asleep, snoring softly. Sparkler Rests her head on top of the smaller mare, smiling to herself as she too begins to drift off.

2017-05-16 “12″ Kubo Shiori Blog #13 [ENG]

The day after the concert I kept on trying to sleep but for some reason I was feeling lonely and so I decided to go for a walk. After walking for 5 minutes, I got tired and went home. I do not think walking is for me.

Hello everyone, thank you for your continuous hard work. I am Nogizaka46’s 3rd generation member, 1st year high school student and 15-year-old Kubo Shiori. It’s a pleasure to meet you.

Today’s blog is going to be on the long side.

Thank you so much for the handshake event in Nagoya on the 6th and 7th of May!! For the national handshake I was paired with ChocoReno! Watching Reno’s high energy made me feel blessed to be with her. Reno’s fans were also very nice, and it was fun to meet them! Thank you so much.

At the individual handshake I wore white overalls, and off-the-shoulder shirt… Thank you to everyone that came! It was super fun wasn’t it〜〜〜〜!

(my outfit for the 3rd time slot was posted on Miichan’s blog)

(TL note: Picture for Mizuki’s blog along with the caption ‘Shiorin with her staple red bandana’)

That’s right Miichan, I read you blog 〜 I hope you’re happy. The way that you think of me makes me feel nothing but happiness. Miichan, I love you. I’m so glad I met you. (I didn’t mean to tell her I loved her but the other day I did by accident.)

Minamin sat beside me on the Shinkansen ride to Nagoya. She looked so cute so I couldn’t help but take a picture〜〜

These are the song that we performed. (I’m sorry the list is so hard to see…)

During the Unit corner I also participated in ‘Hoka no Hoshi kara’ and ‘Arakajime Katarareru Romance’.

To everyone that came, everyone who did calls, and everyone who wanted to go but couldn’t, thank you so much. It is thanks to everyone’s support that we are able to be where we are now.

Now that those 6 days and 8 performances have been concluded, thinking back on all those days where we worked so hard, it feels like all that weight has been lifted.

When this concert was decided, I thought this was a chance. I went in with the mindset that we were blessed with a rare opportunity I never thought we would have and if we wasted it, we wouldn’t get a second chance.

Through this opportunity I was able to evolve as a person. Up till now no matter what I did I did it alone. I would always act with the feeling that “I should do it myself”. I was scared that if I were to voice my opinion that it would be ignored. Likewise, I’m not a perfect person and therefore, I don’t believe that I’m in a position where I can voice my opinion to others.

However, I realized that when preparing a concert, you cannot think like that regardless of if you think you can or can’t do it alone. Realizing that during practice spurred me to not drag the other members down and so I worked hard on my dancing, singing and other smaller details about my performance. Through this I learned that the key to producing a successful concert was only possible through exchanging your thoughts and opinions with others.

During these six days the way I was thinking changed. At the same time the relationship between all 12 members also changed. I want to put our relationship into words, but I can’t seem to find the right ones… It’s not friends, we’re a group but that isn’t all we are. It’s not family either…hmmm it’s difficult to describe.

However, one thing is for sure and that as a group we have gotten stronger, but we are not satisfied with where we are. For here on please don’t take your eyes off of us. Without relying on the name ‘Nogizaka46’, we will continue to do our best and to climb higher. We’ll continue to be in your care.

AiiA 2.5 Theater Tokyo, thank you.

I feel lucky that we got to perform in the same theatre.

Riria. Even though you’re younger than me and I caused a lot of trouble for you thank you for leading the MCs.

Renka. Even though I though there was somethings that were hard to say thank you for speaking them honestly.

Minami. Thank you for guiding us along the path to a successful concert. Because you were there, we were able to do our best.

Momoko. Thank you for going all out and doing your best, not only on the piano but until your voice gave out. You were so cool.

Tamami. Thank you for practicing the songs and dances with me until the very last minute on top of that thank you for giving me eye contact during the dances.

Kaeda. Even though you weren’t in good physical health thank you for doing the best that you could during the concert. Don’t overdo it.

Reno. Thank you for being beside me in the dressing room and listening and talking with me. Your high energy during the concert is impressive.

Hazuki. Thank you for always smiling and making eye contact with me during our dance routines. What happened during the encore on the final day is something I will never forget.

Mizuki. During the days of the concert the distance between us squeezed closer didn’t it. Thank you for always performing at 100%.

Ayano. You really supported me. Thank you for always being beside me and giving me tight hugs. Next time I will be the one supporting you.

Yuuki. Even though you were not feeling good the fact that you had the guts to still stand on that stage was really moving. Thank you for putting you heart and soul into everything you do.

This was me looking back at the other members. From this point forward I’ll be reflecting on my own personal points.

I’m grateful to all the other 11 members but my gratitude to Momochan is immeasurable. Momochan, truly practiced the piano every single day. On days of the handshake events, before lessons, when we she had some free time, she even brought an electric piano home to practice. Without sparing even time for sleep I would see her practicing. “You don’t have to be working that hard…” I would say worried. Momochan is honestly super amazing and cool. Thank you. It was thanks to Momochan that, as a group, we were able to become closer. Thank you.

The nervousness before the start of ‘Kanashimi no Wasurekata”, the blue scenery during “Nandome no Aozora ka?” the singing of each member during ‘Kikkake” the tonality of Momochan’s Piano during “Kimi no Na wa Kibou” I’ll never forget any of them.

Because we just finished the performance, I should have a lot to say but I just can’t seem to put them into words. Therefore, please allow me to write my thoughts about the performance on my next blog. It’s kind of a shock that the words aren’t coming to me. All except one, “it’s completely over.”

I’ll leave it there for now.

Even still I don’t want to remain at this level. I want to work harder so I can rise higher. I want to make my dreams come true. In order to make Hibiya the best performance I possibly can I’ll continue to do my best, please look after me.

To everyone involved in the production of our concert thank you so very much. There are no words to express how grateful I am to you. From the bottom of my heart thank you very much.

Honestly right now because I’ve put all my strength into the concerts I’m not thinking straight. Today, when I woke up from my afternoon nap I panicked, threw on my backpack, and ran out of the house almost like I had a live concert that day. I wonder if I should perform a solo concert at home today. I want to do it again 〜

Speaking of which, the final day of the concert, May 14th ,was “mother’s day”. Although not on the 14th, my mom did come watch me perform. I hope that I was able to give her an enjoyable performance. During the concert period when my lessons weren’t going so well my mom helped me. I’ve always been a mama’s girl, ever since I was young, I would always be clinging to my mother. It’s hard to imagine that I would now be living this far away from her.

Ever since coming to Tokyo, whenever I would see a mother holding the hand of their child while I was out for a walk I would almost cry remembering those times with my mom. The other day, I saw this small child asked their mom “What’s for dinner todaaaay??” and it made me feel lonely. That night I called my mother and asked “What’s for dinner todaaay??” She replied with “I made minced meat cutlet. It was very delicious, I wish that Shiori could’ve eaten it too.”

Mother, what are you doing now? You work so hard every day, thank you as always. Next time we meet please make me food again. Let’s eat together. Thank you for giving birth to me and guiding me along this path. I’ll continue to be in you care. I’ll never tell her this directly though. Nope, never.

Did you watch NOGIBINGO!8 yet? In my own, I poured my heart and soul into my variety performance…Please don’t hate me (´･_･`)

On the previous blog I received a lot of messages of support and impressions of the live concert. Thank you very much. Because everyone is here I’m able to be here. With that in mind I’ll keep on doing my best. I can say I’ll do my best, but I’m bad at evaluating myself and what my best is. I want to become someone who can come to value themselves, but it will probably take some time.

Even though the contents are slim the blog became quite long (´･_･`) I apologize deeply for this (´･_･`).

I’ll write again soon.

Kubo Shiori.

I always thought that people who don’t have the opportunity won’t change. People will say “If I don’t have a chance, I can’t change my circumstance.” But that is wrong. It’s the people who, even though they didn’t have an opportunity, but still manage to change who are the real people aren’t they. I want to be some that makes the steps that I take every day important. A person that looks around and see’s value in how far they’ve come. With this maybe I can start to change my circumstances little by little. That’s the person I want to be. I can’t lose my focus, not even for a second.
