A BIG DEAL.

katherine.kerry.me

this is the whole group. we are wearing our halloween coustumes.. yes we do perform at halloween parties.

Katherine.

Our very talented triangle player. She can make 7 sounds out of the 11 total sounds thats played on a triangle. Not many people can do that, we're lucky to have her.

Kerry.

Not only does Kerry play the claves (pretty nicley I might add) she ALSO holds the mini american flag. Now that takes skill.

me.

I play the red sticks. You might ask What can a red stick player really do besides hit them together? WRONG. With rubbing the sticks together I create a sound that only can go with the claves and a triangle.

We met almost 8 months ago on a Missions Trip to DC. There A BIG DEAL was born. We not only love eachother but we love to perform. This is why we make a wonderful band.

Rachel gave me hope.

Lately I’ve been addicted to the GivesMeHope website and I thought I’d right about someone who gave me hope.

Rachel, my best buddy from last year, is mentally and physically disabled. She walked with a limp but never let it stop her. She placed first place in the running competition part of the Special Olympics last year. The next day she brought in her gold medal to show me and wore it proudly all day. Rachel loved me unconditionally and always had a giant smile on her face and a loud "hi lizzie!" every morning I walked into school. Rachel gave me the strength to fight for people with disabilities, she gave me hope that someday everyone will see the true kindness and love that people like Rachel have.

6:51 am

I have 9 minutes until I have to leave. I woke up too early, I usually have just enough time. I even made my lunch which almost always makes us late. Last night it took me 3 hours to fall asleep. Because of this I got a total of 4 hours of sleep; today is going to be a loong day. But after school I get to go to renew after a long week and a half after not having it, and I get to see everyone! (Kerry this goes out to you hah). So now I have to go Em's yelling at me, telling me to get ready.
