Dear bloggers, when you have a dream, it should be set in stone. You should never turn your back on any of your dreams, especially when you haven't worked hard for it. Keep approaching. Keep thriving! You shouldn't rely on others on achieving, it's what you want to achieve. In the last chapter, Justin talks about being thankful for everyone that has supported him in making this far in life. I always believed that if a 17 year old Stratford boy could make his dreams come true... Why can't I? Why can't you? I've realized now that there will be people in my life that will get in the way of reaching my dreams. People will do this because they don't have any consideration on how hard you've worked. What I do is show them my vision, then they will see what I see. Success. Like Justin, I know I can't achieve success by myself, but I will not allow anyone to take this from me. For success to be taken away from me, it is worse then failing by myself. I rather have people drag me down in the dirt than for my success to be taken away. Instead of sitting here crying about my mistakes in life, I cut off all the parts that's getting me to slow down and stop my progress. As Justin would say it... NEVER SAY NEVER!!

Rumors occur because of six main reason. The six reasons are, to feel superior, to feel like a part of the group, for attention, for control of power, jealousy, and even out of boredom. Where can I begin with this popular topic? Rumors are being spread everywhere. A lot of the time it is hurtful things, and other times it's just really ridiculous. I don't understand why people have the need to talk about others. In this chapter, Justin talks about all of the rumors being said on twitter. One of Justin twit says, "I'm not Peter Pan. I'm growing up and my voice will change but no worries Jan Smith is the greatest vocal coach ever... Stronger than ever". I don't understand why people must constantly hate on him, he actually is really talented... And I'm not only saying that because I absolutely love him. Justin also worked hard for his position, he doesn't deserve all this hatred. Everyone in their lifetime had a point where they were bullied or has been really hurt by a rumor. I know I have. To all you heartless individuals, no you are not superior. No, you don't fit in in any group. No, no one notices you. No, you're not in control. Yes, you are jealous. Yes, you have no life if all you do is talk. Why can't you just leave me, us alone.

Do your parents suggest career options? It’s so annoying! I know that my parents only do this so that I don’t go through what they did. Especially my father! I guess he just pushes me to work hard in school so that I have the better life in the near future. Isn’t it our life though? We shouldn’t try to enjoy a career that isn’t meant to be for us. After all, life is too short to be unhappy. If you get a chance at something you want to do, take it! If it changes your life, let it. Nobody ever said that it would be easy. In this chapter Justin talks about his music career. At first, Justin’s parents were never really supportive of him. The only people that were really there for him through it all were his grandpa and grandma. With all of Justin’s accomplishments, how could any parents not be proud of him? If our parents loved us, they would want to see us be happy whether it’s working a low paid job or a high class job.

School is such a hassle! I’m currently stressed out at the moment. I have four CPT’s for all of my classes. The crazy thing is, they are all due on the same week! With work the whole weekend, I guess I’m not sleeping for the next few nights. Oh did I mention we also have our exams coming up soon?! I hate to whine about my school work, but it’s just so much to handle right now. When exams are coming up, I get so nervous because if I don’t study enough, it means I fail my exam. I think the problem with me is that, I procrastinate a lot. I leave all of my studying off to the very last minute. Thankfully, I have never failed any test in my life. It disappoints me a little because my baby Justin has. I mean, who fails their G1 test!? Well, at least he knows now that studying actually does help. So remember bloggers, if you ever feel like you’re not going to pass a test, NEVER SAY NEVER!
