The Fault In Our Stars: movie review AND SIGNED BOOK, and movie poster

This movie was honestly the best and closest book to movie adaption! They obviously had to change and get rid of a few things, but some things they didn't mention were in the backgrounds and were there for those who read the book.

John Green is my favorite author, and I was so excited to see this movie of my favorite book.

Seeing Shai, Ansel, and Nat as Hazel, Gus, and Isaac, was perfect. They understood their characters so well, and I'm happy they were casted for the roles. They really felt their characters, and projected so perfectly. Definitely award winning!! Shai was the perfect Hazel, no one could have played her better than she did! Ansel was also perfect! He was exactly how I pictured Gus. And Nat, even though he doesnt have blonde hair, was a perfect Isaac. They all carried their characters exactly how I pictured- if not better!

I've seen it twice now, and read the book, and I still cry - even though I know whats coming. I get all wrapped up in the story, and the feelings. Definitely not a let down either-it lives up to all the hype!

This movie is perfect for all teens, and adults. (Some kids might not understand the subject matter.)

This movie is already very long, and they had to take out a few things..but I'm sad my favorite quote wasn't in it.

 "My thoughts are stars I cannot fathom into constellations."

7/5 GLASSES!! THANK YOU JOHN GREEN!!!!!

GO SEE THIS MOVIE!!! AND BRING TISSUES! (Good luck)

Mesa Police and Fire Mock Car Crash at Dobson High

Today after a fire drill, we had an "assembly" on the football field bleachers. We weren't told why was going on, and didn't know what to expect. There was two crashed cars on our football field, with tarps covering all the windows. (and no, none of this is real-but is still very powerful)

They took the tarps off, to reveal a girl who had gone through the windshield, and was half way on the hood of the car. There was 7 students involved in the crash.

One Fire Truck, one Rapid Response truck, one ambulance, two motorcycles, one coroner van, and other police vehicles. And later the helicopter showed up, to air lift a student to the hospital. They went through all the same steps as they would at a real accident site. Using the "jaws of life" to open the doors, giving the driver a sobriety test, tagging the deceased victims ankle-putting her in a body bag and taking her to the coroner van.

Just this morning before 9, there was over 3 accidents just like our mock one.

Everyday, 8 students/teens die in a car accident due to texting/drinking/or being under the influence of drugs. And only 1/5 students/teens buckle their seats. The statistics are horrendous,  and just horrible to hear.

If you text and drive and get in a crash, and cause a death- you are charged with vehicular manslaughter and is sentenced to 10 years. And for each person with a broken bone, you are sentenced to more years.



Don't let texting or being under the influence ruin the rest of your life, or take it.



Take the pledge to not text and drive.

Todays experience was eye opening, but very needed for all teens to see. (sometimes graphic visual representations are the only thing that works on teens to get the message across--and this one definitely got across)

25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee PLAY at Dobson High

So, for about 2 weeks I thought this was an actual spelling bee, but then I read the poster on the walls at school and found out its a PLAY!!

Some of my best friends are in it, and I absolutely loved it!!

I cried of laughter...it was that funny. Honestly one of the funniest plays I've seen, its definitely worth the $8!!!

Lucky audience members get to participate in the Bee ( and the unexpectedness of their words, and how they act.. is just GOLDEN!!!)

This play has got to be one of my favorites my school has put on! I think everyone should go see it!

April 2nd-5th (Wed-Saturday)
$8 at the Dobson Auditorium- seating on stage.
7pm Wednesday-Friday
2pm and 7pm on Saturday
