A Star Is Born

Shine Your Light And Illuminate The World

A Star Is Born
Relay For Life WPEC

We all have the potential to be great and to shine our light bright to illuminate the world. We are all stars in our own right however so many do not allow for their star to be born. So many people listen to the doubters, the haters, the naysayers and their own negative self-talk that they hold them self back from the greatness that is their birthright. To combat this I recommend that you remind yourself daily that you are a star. I have this ritual where I say that I am the best there is, the best there was, and the best there will be as I look into the mirror reminding me that I have this greatness to unleash on the world. I take time to reflect on where I have been and all my accomplishments so that I can see where I have been so I can see where I am at and look at where I am going. You were born to be a shining star so do not let anyone take that away from you not even yourself. Now is the time for you to tap into your inner divinity and use your talents for good. The day you understand that you are a divine child of GOD and GOD wants you to prosper is the day you begin to manifest the life you desire.

When you begin to understand that the world is your stage and you are a star you will begin to see many signs that will assist you in moving forward toward your dreams. I remember going to interview Coach Lamont Carr of The Palm Beach Imperials and upon arrival finding a microphone on the scorer's table. It turned out it was live so in my best announcer voice, I said "Welcome to FAU for Today's Scrimmage between The Imperials Blue Team and The Imperials White Team. After I did the interview with Coach Carr and after the interview he asked if I could stay and announce the scrimmage. I said yes. At the end of the scrimmage coach Carr invited me to announce The Palm Beach Imperials Season Opener. I did the season opener and a woman from The Palm Beach Punishers of The Independent Women's Football League approached me to do their games I said yes. A star was born.

Since becoming a paid public address announcer and realizing that I have the talent to bring games to life I have been chasing my dream of one day doing professional games for The NFL or The NBA as football and basketball are two of my favorite sports. In looking for opportunities I have reached out to many teams and have been hired to do several games. Recently I was announcing The Super Bowl Games for The Pop Warner Gold Coast Football Program when I was heard by The Assistant Athletic Director and Head Coach for Cardinal Gibbons High School and he offered me the job as PA Announcer for the 2017 Football Season. I accepted and have done the Red-White Scrimmage and The Spring Game. I share this with you to encourage you to continually put yourself out there for someone is waiting to see your star shine bright to illuminate the world.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
