..you find out who your friends are..

So..today started out well and then quickly became very drama filled. I have cried on and off for 3 hours.
I just can't believe people. Especially those that are supposed to be your friend and that you've tried to be and been there for. I know that your life isn't turning out how you wanted it to and you've made bad choices that have led you down this path that goes nowhere good..BUT it doesn't give you the right to make up a bunch of TERRIBLE, terrible lies about someone else. You are affecting their life now and causing unnecessary drama for them. I have nothing to do with the choices you have made. I am sorry that your life sucks and that you feel the need to tear down others to make yourself feel better.
I also know that this may all be because of the drugs..but that's the choice that YOU made. YOU need to deal with it. DON'T try to drag others down with you.
I would NEVER, no matter how bad my life was, make up and say the things you said today. NONE of them being true. I just don't understand how someone can do that and not feel the least bit guilty. It's really sad.
BUT in the end, the joke is on you. People know you and your history. People also know me and my history and who's character do you think they are going to question.
I also 100% believe in...KARMA and it can be a b.
I know who I am and I know that I am a good person. My REAL friends also know this.
I do wish you the best of luck and hope that you can get your life straightened out so that you don't hurt someone else like you hurt me today.

..Valedictorian..

My little brother Justin is going to be valedictorian! I can't believe he will be graduating. Makes me feel kinda old.
He has come such a long way and I am soo proud of him! Despite all of the challenges and trials he has been put through in his life, he is on the right track. He is such a good kid and truly cares about everyone.
He is also part of the JROTC at his school. He has done a lot of competitions taking first and second place in most of them. He is also interested in joining the Army.
His school newspaper did an article on him as the student spotlight. I wasn't able to find a copy online, so I am just going to type it up.



Justin Case
Student Spotlight
By: Heather Richins & Xan Van Wagenen

Just in case you don't know him, Justin Case is a smart and funny guy who is the valedictorian this year at IHS. Justin has been going to IHS for 4 years, and he has enjoyed every one of them. Justin has many friends both old and new at this school. Calyn Van Natta, a senior at IHS and friend of Justin, jokes, "I don't like his red pants, but I still love him. "

Justin Case is one of the most academically gifted kids here at IHS. We asked if he had any advice for kids to pass their classes and he said, "You just need to come to school everyday and do the work. It's easy to pass and it's worth it." He is even on the academic wall of fame in the hallway from 2009. That is probably why he is the valedictorian this year at IHS. Justin said, "I feel good about being valedictorian. I want it to help with college because I'm going to Dixie for generals and to the University of Hawaii to finish with a master's degree."

Justin told us, "My most memorable moment at IHS was when I did the Michael Jackson dance with Isai Estrada and Chris Leon. We made up a dance and sang "I Will Be There" for an MJ-themed assembly." Justin continued, "I like this school a lot. That's why I have stayed for all four years. Jose Catarino, the JROTC teacher at IHS, is my favorite. He's just like one of us, a friend, and hilarious."

Justin Case has many friends and is very like-able because he has such a friendly and outgoing personality. "He is a very generous and considerate person," says Gavin Hancock, a senior at IHS. Justin Case is an all-around great guy.
