sometimes things dont go the way that you had planned, and you have to be okay with that. because in the end, no one will remember the ribbons that you did or didnt win. theyre going to remember the times that you smiled when you had every reason to cry. always keep your head up and be thankful for your opportunities, no matter the outcome.
ill come right out and say this. i got eliminated every single night of pony finals. whether it was my fault, or pons, i honestly do not care, because what i experienced in that week was far greater than any ribbon i could ever win. and i hope that if youre reading this, that youll read the entire thing, because what i say here will be the most important thing i could ever say to you.
the first day at pony finals, i walked into the stands of the huge covered indoor. i just stood there, staring at it, trying to take everything in. this was one of those moments that you say to yourself, im going to remember this for the rest of my life. everything was just so peaceful and perfect. and then it hit me. it finally hit me. i was here at pony finals. everything i dreamed about for forever was literally sitting right in front of me. everything ive worked for was in reach. it finally all worked out for me. i became so overwhelmed from this that i just started crying. not because of nerves, or being worried, but because i was happy. and right then, i knew, that no matter what happened by the weekend, it didnt matter, because i had accomplished so much more than i could have ever dreamed of. and no matter what ribbon i did or didnt get, i would be happy... because of this moment.
everything happens for a reason. and sometimes it doesnt go the way that you want.but i honestly believe that its perfectly okay. i didnt get around one single course last week. but you know what? thats okay. maybe it was just nerves, or if pons really is done for good, but it could have been anything. that ring is fucking scary. by far the scariest ring ive been in. yes, we got to hack in it all week, but you would not believe how much it changed show night. i cant even describe to you how overwhelming it is, how nervous to the point i thought i was going to puke i was.
but after it all, i realized.. that it didnt matter how i placed, that it didnt matter if i won or not, because that is not what pony finals is about. pony finals is about having fun, meeting people from all across the country, and experiencing new things.
yes i cried when i came out of the ring, who wouldnt? but you know what? i sucked it up and went back and cheered on my team.. every. single. night.and after thinking about it, i dont care that i didnt get a ribbon.i dont care that i didnt get around.i dont care about how i did.
because you know what? in one week, one short week that i wish i could live over and over again, i had the fucking time of my life. i met so many freaking amazing people. i made so many friends and became close to so many people that i would have not met if it wasnt for this show, friends that i want to have for the rest of my life. i got to experience something that people only dream about and i got to live out something ive been dreaming about practically my whole life. i proved to myself and everyone that said i wasnt gonna go to pony finals that if you really do work hard and set your mind to it, that you CAN do it. hard work does infact get recognized and you should never ever give up on what you want, because you CAN do it and it WILL happen. it might not happen in the way that you expect, but things always work out in the end.
and most of all, i learned how to be a good sport. i learned that its not always going to work out in your favor, and you have to be okay with that. that no matter what happens in the ring, you should learn from it, and move on, and always walk around with a smile and thank your horses at every oppportunity you get, because they try their hearts out to please us.
and honestly, i think all of that is far greater than a first place ribbon.")

2011 was without a doubt, the hardest year of both of our lives. But, if I were given the chance to go back and change something, I wouldnt.
This year has taught me that good things happen to those who deserve it. Though it might not be in the way you expect it, life has a way of working itself out and giving us what we need, not what we want. It pushes us to our ends, so that when the opportunity for something great finally comes, we appreciate it. This year has also taught me that no matter what happens, put on a smile and look at it in a positive way, because its not the end yet. Its never the end. Never ever take no for an answer, because if theres a will, then theres a way. Theres always going to be people rooting for you to fail, but you find those who would do anything to see you succeed. Be thankful for them. When life gives you difficulties, put a smile on your face and make people wonder how the hell youre still going. It will make you a better person in the end. Dont ever worry about the future, because I can promise you that it will be okay in the end. If its not okay, then its not the end. This year, I accomplished everything I wanted to and more. I proved people wrong. I proved myself wrong, and Cristina, you did the same. Thank you for always being here for me, I couldnt have done it without you.
So heres to 2012, Cristina and Is last junior year, our last year in high school, it seems like everything is coming to a close. But, you know what? Its not the end. Its only just the beginning.
