Love it~definitely inspires me! Balance love and truth!!!💛

Exactly! I could really relate to this quote and was inspired by it too!

Hey there, guys! So sorry that I kinda inactive because of school and sports! Tomorrow (Saturday because today is Friday, Oct. 25th) I have Jamobree/championship games and I'm so nervous but excited! What's up with you guys?!

Hey, welcome back! I hope you did well on your game! I'm been pretty good, just gearing up for midterms this week

TYSMMM!!! Good luck! My school just finished our first quarter! Only 3 more to go!

Thanks!! Congrats on finishing your first quarter! 👏 I can not believe it's already one full quarter, this school year is going so fast!

Yeah! By the time before we know it, it'll be already 2025! 2024 just go by so quickly!

Hi Im @maxerica4ever I hope it gets easier for you throughout the year.My school dosent let us out till the end of june

Hey Maxerica! Nice to meet you! Thank you! 😊 My school doesn't let out until May.

So lucky but we get a lot of days off we get like a whole week off of school for Presidents day which is so confusing is it that important?

Ohhh I don't really know alot about Presidents' Day but for me I get 2 full weeks off from school. My school also have few off days every month which is weird but I just go with the flow.

I wish! For me, it always changes, for 2025, we'll get let out mid-july

Hol' up! Am I actually reading this right; mid-July?!

I knoww, it's pretty sad, but I currently reside in Europe, so yeah

So, if your championship was on the 25th and today is the 26th, that means it took place yesterday. Hopefully, everything went smoothly, I bet you crushed it!! Can't wait for your updates! Currently, I'm on fall break, so I've mostly been home with not much to do, but I won't complain if it means I don't have to go to school!!

Yeah! We won 2 games and lost only 1 and plus we also won fifth place for my team determination! And yup I ran for a touchdown and everybody cheered and it's was good feelings! And hope that your fall break going on very smoothly!

Hi, my name is @maxerica4ever I made this my name because its the ship name for the selection series have you guys read these books?
