Big sis music Trivia:
where them bloggers at? where them bloggers at, where they at, where they at where they at...(i call this fosterkids anthem)guess what artist this is....tougher than a stallion, yup, you know this...

Hi blog family!

I hope you had a good weekend.
What does your weekend consist of?
 What activitiy's do you do with your counselor or foster family?
 I hope you know you are young and should be active, out playing sports or walking.
Sitting in the house is no fun, (unless your reading, practicing an instrument, or on FBf with your friends.
I don't want you to get to hung up on FB....why?
because it is teaching you to be non social. 
If you talk with your friends all day on the computer why would you need to see them?
 When I was young, (a few years ago) LOL!!
 I did not have computers and we had 6 tv's but were not allowed to watch only certain shows...
so I spent most of my time hiking in the woods, building tree houses, mud pies, biking through several towns with my friends and playing sports...
 While you may have 560 fb friends, (face book), I had 20 friends I saw everyday and played with everyday, went to their house, ate dinners, did homework with...
how many of your fb friends do you see all week....Not many hah?
that's because its a virtual world that makes you content talking now and seeing later.
 It's ok to be on fb if you want to quickly be updated but don't let that stop you from doing kid things like, playing outside, meeting new friends and seeing old friends!
I hope you had a great weekend and don't forget the art of knowing someone and talking face to face.....
DO YOUR HOMEWORK!!
 Congradulations on your good marks in school so far...
and if you are not a B student, no worry's , keep working hard and ask for a tutor if you need one...
have a good night,
YOu are loved and special!!

Did u do your homework??

Hi, i hope u had a great day at school today! I enjoyed the snow and worked...

Did you do your homework today? Do you know why doing your homework and going to school is important?

Not many people will get far without an education today. In America it is standard requirement to have a diploma from high school. 

Now you need a college degree! 

You can't get either without going to school and making it to all of your classes! 

I know sometimes you meet knuckhead friends, (they are not your friends if they want you to skip out of school or do bad things that could change your life)

 ANYWHO, 

you cannot learn if you are not in class. 

Even if you are there and don't understand, you can always get help, especially foster kids, someone can get you a tutor if you need it. 

Don't be ashamed if your reading game is not at the top of the class, just be in the class!

I will always tell you you are the greatest and you are, but you can improve every day that you are here on this earth if you read! Reading takes you all over the world without leaving your house! You can studay other cultures, what people eat, what they like to be happy, alot of things you learn in school!

 Sometimes homework is boring, I know, but i promise if you pay attention you will learn something. 

Don't be like Those other kids that want to sit around and skip class or not do there homework, I can guarentee they will not go far in life, (unless they are Rich) and even then, no one wants to be around a dummy! 

You are going to school not for me or your social worker or your friends or family, but for YOU, because you are no dummy, in fact you are the smartest! 

If you are having a hard time in class ask your teacher for help, stay after school or ask your social worker if you could get a tutor, MAKE NO EXCUSE to why you did not do your work. 

You are setting a pattern for yourself now for later when you go to college, trade school or have your own business - NO ONE WANTS A LAZY WORKER or  FRIEND it = CONTAGIOUS, THE OTHER WORKERS MIGHT CATCH IT!! (JK...LOL)

WHY?
 because the work will not get done and believe me, it's all about the work!!!
 Start now setting good habits for yourself and when you are ready to age out of the system,  you won't have to be told at work to do something because you set up good work ethics for yourself.
Doing homework helps you later be more responsible, so......
 GO DO YOUR HOMEWORK - BEFORE YOU GO PLAY or GO ON FB!!!
YOu are special, loved and very important to this world, don't forget it!!  you are loved!

Foster Kids, Why are you so special?

Hi, glad you could come and check out my blog for foster kids!

That picture is my baby brother Rob. He was my favorite person in the world growing up and now that he is gone, i want to remember him by helping All kids in foster care but especially young boys. 

Rob use to ask me: "was he special" and here is what i would say to him:

Even though mommy was sick and had to leave us in foster care, does not mean we are not loved or special. Her leaving us in foster care was better for us. We got meals and we were able to go to school, meet new friends and later go to college. 

Mom loved us, but could not keep us so she placed us where she thought we would be safe. I use to tell my brother we all have angels but foster kids are more special because we will have extra angels looking out for us since our parents could not. You have to know when that thing inside tells you to do good or be nice, that is the voice of your angel leading you the right way.

I want you to know that you are special because You are going to set a good example for others in foster care by going to school, choosing smart, good friends and by always treating yourself and others with respect.

If you want to get ahead in this world you must learn to love yourself and respect yourself. This means that you would not do anything to be in trouble with the police or your teachers. You would not do drugs, because they are harmful to your body and kill your brain cells, and you need all of your brain cells at your age.

You are special and special people think alot of themselves, they want to be good to others and helpful. 

Starting today remember you are special because you are here to help the world be a better place. 

If no one told you today, I love you, the universe loves you, God loves you and you need to love you!

Smile and be kind to some one today, your angel is watching and so am I!

Bye the way, your the greatest kid on earth, don't forget it. Expect more of yourself and ask for less from others because YOU will always get what you need, if you work hard... love you all..
