“Doggie!” a little girl cried upon seeing the arrival of me and my faithful companion, Jessie (she’s a border collie). “Mommy, can I go pet him? Pllleeeeeaaaasssee?!?!” “Honey, you have to ask the little boy first.” The little girl runs over to me, and with pitiful eyes begs: “Can I pet your puppy?” “Sure!” I said. I was at Beavers Bend State Park in Oklahoma, walking past the playground, enjoying the beauty of nature.
Later that day, I was on the river, doing my favorite thing. Fly fishing with my dad. I looked at my assortment of flies, and decided to do something I had never done before. Catch a rainbow trout on a dry fly.
I picked out my favorite spot on the river. A small area called “The Honey Hole.” I casted my fly line into the water to the left of me, and watched, as it was slowly swept away in the current.
All of a sudden, “FLASH!” I see a streak of white light in the shadowy depths of the river. “WHUMPH!” My strike indicator shoots down like a rocket.
“Fish!” I yelled to my dad as I pulled my rod up at the speed of light.
20 minutes later, I had a 16 inch rainbow trout on the grass next to me, BURSTING with color.
I later realized, that the trout I had just caught, was the first fish I had ever caught on a dry fly.
As my dad and I were walking back to the truck, ending a day of hard fishing (for ME anyways), I said, “Today, God was good to both of us. But to ME more than you.”

on Out of all the senses, smelling, seeing, touching, and tasting, my favorite is hearing. I like to listen to my favorite bands from my iPhone after school while relaxing on my game chair, while at the same time, playing Super Mario Brothers on my Wii listening to the music from it also.
If I lost my sense of hearing, I couldn’t hear my friends tell me how awesome the new video game is that they got over the weekend. I don’t know what I’d do if I couldn’t hear!!
Be Humble!
on Have you ever heard of Adam Young? If not, how about Owl City, Sky Sailing, or Port Blue?
Adam Young started making music in his parent’s basement while suffering from insomnia. He plays the piano, keyboards, synthesizer, guitar, bass guitar, banjo, xylophone, accordion, drums, percussion, and is lead vocals. He’s also the founder of Owl City, Sky Sailing, and Port Blue. While making music by himself, Adam posted his electro-pop songs to MySpace, and on iTunes, selling about 2,000 tracks a week.
Adam has mentioned that he has aspergers syndrome, and has described himself as being deeply shy and socially introverted. He’s also said that he considers himself to be a amateur photographer. Adam has identified himself as a Christian, and writes about his faith in his music and on his blog.
He has provided vocals for Christian singers TobyMac in “The First Noel,” produced music for Relient K- “Terminals,” and remixed songs “Savior” by LIGHTS, and “Blinding Light” by Switchfoot.
Adam and his band members often volunteer at the local Salvation Army. From washing dishes and serving food to people to sorting donations for distribution at their Family Store and hauling boxes. Owl City is giving back through volunteering and hopes their fans will do the same.
Adam Young is my hero because he volunteers, doesn’t drink, and I think is a really good role model I look up to. I’ve learned that even if you’re famous, you have to be humble. In 2006, he said, “I hope you enjoy my music as much as I enjoy creating it…..This music is my heart and soul.
This is who I am.”
