In The Moment- Madison Haley



In The Moment

I used to think that I was runnin
From what I know to be wrong
And the good times would keep on comin
But not for long
I used to think that everything would work out in the end
My life could pass before my eyes
Without choices to be made

Where’s the laughter in my eyes again
The courage to be brave
The chance I have to just let go
It’s my life I could save
Where’s the beauty in the world around
I used to see each day
To live in the moment
Is something I could change

I used to think that I was livin
Up to my full potential
But livin from day to day
Doesn’t tend to be substantial

Where’s the laughter in my eyes again
The courage to be brave 
The chance I have to just let go
It’s my life I could save
Where’s the beauty in the world around
I used to see each day
To live in the moment
Is something I could change

A new day, a new dawn
It’s comin, it’s here
It’s wrapped its arms around me
And I have something to say

I see the laughter in my eyes again
The courage to be brave
The chance I have to just let go
It’s my life I have saved
I see the beauty in the world around
I see it everyday
To live in the moment
Is something I have changed

A new day, a new dawn
It’s comin, it’s here
It’s wrapped its arms around me
To live
In the moment

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
