Welp...

The big day has arrived. Well, almost. Tomorrow, I will head over to be at the McAllen Municipal Park at 7am to register and walk 5.5 miles at 8am. Joy! No really, joy :)

I've been waiting for this day for a while, and now that it's here, I'm pretty nervous. I don't even know who I'm going with :T Hopefully Brandon can step up to the plate after all. And I reeeeallyyyyy hope there's no registration fee. If there is, I'm screwed.

I'll post pictures from the walk soon ^-^

I am forever indebted to Miss Conway and all her English classes. As of this Monday, February 27th, 2012, we raised........

$400 in total!

I will never be able to express my full gratitude towards everyone. It is astonishing to me that they even helped me. They really didn't have to do this. But the fact of the matter is that they did, and I am truly forever thankful.

Also, that that amount of money will be going to the March of Dimes.. I can't explain how happy and warm it makes me feel inside. It's like there's actually hope for mankind :) I really hope I get many people to join me next month on the 28th in McAllen.

Whoa.

That IS next month! D:

Happy FTSK TOE Day!<3

Wait. What?

So I had signed up for March for Babies in Brownsville at an event center on April 14th. BUT. A mariachi thing came up on April 14th soooo yeah. I changed my event to April 28th in McAllen at a park! :D

A change of scenery's cute :) So yeah :) I seriously can't wait.

Oh! And Miss Conway's classes have raised $62.something for me already! :oooooo

Excitement!

I think I announced to my 3rd period AP English class on Tuesday that I am participating in the March of Dimes this year and that I needed help to reach my $100 goal.

Today, Miss Conway and my entire class completely surprised me.

On the board, I read "The class that raises the most money for Aissa gets a cupcake party and a Shakespeare movie." Miss Conway has seven classes. We 17-18-years-olds will do basically anything for food, and since it's cupcakes that are involved, I feel like they will do whatever it takes to win that cupcake party.

I feel so lucky to have such spontaneous and caring classmates! I expected maybe a little help, like a few cents/dollars donated here and there until I barely surpass my goal, but this? It's highly overwhelming and I don't think I will ever be able to thank them for their support.

Most of all, I am thankful that the money will be going to the March of Dimes to help premature and sick babies live better lives. Knowing that this is what will happen because we will do anything for cupcakes and bragging rights means a lot to me. I'm making them sound like they just want food, but that's not it either. I'm sure they know that they're donating to a good cause, and I can't wait to see the outcome of their generosity<3

Teen Mom 2 has inspired me.

No, I am not going to have a child to become a reality star.. :) I was inspired by Miss Chelsea Houska to participate in the March of Dimes! :D

I've been wanting to do something like this for a while, and after I saw an episode of Teen Mom 2 a few weeks ago, I decided to search for upcoming events for the March of Dimes in my RGV-area.
There is one walk in Brownsville on April the 14th, I believe. So I chose that one! And now I have a $100 goal to reach before then :) Of course, as a Mighty Hawk Band member, I think I can surpass that goal with ease.

BUT, how about I get some help? :) There's a badge somewhere at the bottom of this page. I believe it's after my About Me? But you should seriously click on 'Donate Now!' and help me teach this goal a lesson.

The money goes to help mothers-to-be go through full-term pregnancies so that their babies may be as healthy as can be, AND it goes to premature or ill babies! Babies are awesome!

Click 'Donate Now!' porfissss :) (I'm so Mexican -.-)
