What If?
What if dream never came true?
What if there were no more tears?
What if life wasn't a slave to fears?
What if money came free?
What if our eyes were opened to see?
What if all leaders were respected?
What if love was perfected?
What if that baby was wanted?
What if looks were not flaunted?
Have you ever stopped to ask yourself-
What if?

The Two Blondes and Two Brunetts!!
They hired a boat and a driver who took them to Banana Island. On their way there, a storm was in the brewing. The four girls sat in the bobbing boat applying lip-gloss and such girlish thing when the storm hit. It hit like a stone shattering through a delicate window. They were tossed and turned and churched and blown about everywhere. They had never been so wet in all their lives, the phrase “drowned rats” could not even describe their soaked appearance. The foaming water had sunk deep into their skin, and they were all shivering violently.

Soul Surfer
AnnaSophia Robb portrayed a courageous 13-year-old girl named Bethany Hamilton in the 2011 movie Soul Surfer.On October 31, 2003 a 14 foot (4.3m) Tiger Shark bit off her arm just under the shoulder. In the movie AnnaSophia showed how calm Bethany probably was when the incident actually happened. That same day Bethany's dad was supposed to have a knee sugary, but was interrupted with a nurse saying that a girl had been in a shark attack. Upon hearing this Bethany's dad started to freak out thinking it was his daughter. When he found out that the girl who was in the attack was Bethany he wanted to see her right away.
Bethany lost 60% of her blood that day. It was a miracle that she survived. Shortly after the attack Bethany wanted to get back into the water as soon as she could.
Bethany started to work hard to get back into shape to compete again. She had to make her right arm stronger to make up for the loss of her left arm, so she started to do one handed chin ups and push ups. She started with some help but as her arm got stronger she started doing them by herself. Her dad even made her a special surf board that enabled her to duck dive under a wave without loosing her board.
The way the directors made this movie was amazing, especially the shark attack. The effects that they used on AnnaSophia's arm to make it appear not there like Bethany's was amazing. This movie was really well done. I enjoyed watching it. If you want to know more about Bethany go onto bethanyhamilton.com to find out more about this courageous person.
