Little Superman Cape- Mitchel Porter





This is a song I wrote for one of my best and closest friends Mitchel Porter. We met the summer of 2011 at a Tuesday night young men and young women mutual activity and we played basketball. The first thing I learned about him is that he likes to talk. The second thing I learned is that he liked soccer. We had soo much in common (except for soccer haha) and by the next mutual activity, which was a ward cook-off, we were competing against each other and talking about all the crazy things we had done throughout our lives thus far.

In the beginning of September, last year, I had an acoustic jam session in my backyard and because of work Mitchel couldn't come until around 11. Although everyone was starting to leave he still showed up and helped me clean up EVERYTHING. He even did the dishes... By the time we were done he had made me promise not to plan anything the next coming Friday because we were going on a date. He wasn't going to take excuses, and plus I really wanted to go. On this date I met two more friends who I am close to, Stephen and McKell. I had never been on a date like this one before, but I had a blast and found out that Mitchel really knew how to be a gentleman.

There are a million more adventures and experiences to be shared about our time up to this point, but if there  is anything I have learned from it, it would be that there is ALWAYS someone watching your actions. You never know when your own Mitchel Porter is going to come along and bless your life like he did mine. I have never in my life met anyone who knows so much about every subject on the universe, or anyone who has as much fun as him, or anyone who really knew how to live life. I am so grateful for him and his example to me to never back down and to never regret. I am also very grateful to his loving family for raising up such an amazing young man so that he could go through life blessing others. I know for a fact he is going to do just that as he is off serving our country. Thank you Mitchel Porter.

Lessons Learned in 2014

I’ve learned so many things over this past year that I can’t help but share them. I’ve decided to share what I learned in each month as the year progressed. These lessons include stories, insights, and advice that I was given to get through the good times as well as the hard times. Whether you know me well or not, I hope you can relate to any one thing, or at least know that you aren’t alone. I believe we should share our experiences with others who may be struggling with similar things so that we might be able to help each other through our hardships. Here we go. January- Just because it’s a new year, that doesn’t mean you start with an empty slate. If you don’t keep up with your good habits, the bad ones seep through and they don’t fix themselves. YOU must do the fixing. The lesson here that I learned was that just because the New Year brought new motivation, that didn’t mean I would miraculously become someone better. Not without continuous hard work on my part, anywa

Distinguished Young Women

For eight weeks I learned how to perfect myself in multiple areas of my life, some of which being: Fitness, interview skills, presenting myself, on-the-spot answering questions, how to walk in heels (both on flat ground and up and down stairs), how to speak properly, appearance, what not to wear, making friends, how to be a pirate, and many more. As you can tell I had such a good time with the nineteen other girls involved in the Distinguished Young Women (DYW) scholarship program. Although I did not walk away with any cash for college, I did walk away with a new attitude about myself and also with the knowledge that I could conquer hard things. I will never forget the experiences I had there and will cherish the friendships I made forever. During the showcase night we preformed a pirate opening number where we each introduced ourselves to the audience and judges. (Earlier that same day we had each had a ten minute interview with the judges). Following the pirate act we pre
