Bullying prevention.

Today I had a great opportunity to go to Freedom Elementary, and talk to the cutest kids about bullying prevention. Before the assembly started I got to talk to all these kids individually, all of them were so cute. They were telling me all about their lives, what they were doing for summer vacation, even how they got their first iPod, how some got back from Disney world with the cheer squad. I than asked all of them if they have ever been bullied before. All of them said yes, they were telling me all their stories of how kid broke their arm and how someone told them they shouldn't be living anymore. While I was hearing these stories, I had tears forming into my eyes. These kids were only 7 that I was talking to, and they were experiencing these type of situations. It broke my heart, because they were so little and so innocent. While I was sharing my story, I asked all of the kids to raise their hands if they have ever been bullied. All of the kids in the gym raised their hands. It made my heart ache, because all of them were going through such a hard trial they had to go through at such a young age. I'm so grateful I had this opportunity to go speak to such great kids and teach them about bullying prevention. All of them were so cute, and had open arms as soon as I walked into the building. I'm so grateful for the Miss America program, and for the everlasting kindness it brings into our country.

thankful.

i understand that Thanksgiving was like... forever ago, but i forgot to post about what i am thankful for. i know, shame on me... but at least i'm still posting about it? right?.... :)

i am thankful for so many things, i don't think you guys really understand.

> shoes, man if i didn't have shoes my feet would be gone by the first week of winter.
> clothes, i love that i don't have to walk around in my birthday suit in front of all of you... that would NOT be good
> electricity, i'm so glad i don't have to live in a house that is so dark all the time. and it am also glad that we have a t.v. so that we can watch the news, and find out what's happening around this world.
> cars, i'm so thankful i don't have to walk to a certain place.... traveling would be awful.
> pioneers, they are probably my super heros... what they did was amazing, i don't know how they did it.
> heavenly father, i love this man so much. he is always there for me, and he knows me better/more than anybody else. he died for me, and forgives me... he is the most perfect man i have ever known.
> church, i love church! i love going every sunday and feeling the spirit, and learning something new about the gospel.
> scriptures, they have every answer i need in them... whenever i have a question i turn to the scriptures and i receive and answer. it may not be the exact words, but the spirit is telling me what is right.
> temple, the temple is my castle that i want to be married in. it's the most beautiful thing i have every seen.
> my adorable family, they are just great. my parents have done so much for me, and are always there for me. i love them all so very much.
> home, i'm grateful that i have a warm home that i can live in.
> friends, my friends are all like brothers and sisters to me... i love them ALL.
> school, i'm grateful that i get to have this education. people outside of the U.S.A are dying to have an education like ours.
> mom and dad, they work so hard so that was can do what we love to do... and to also provide food on the table.
> music, i love music... it is such a powerful thing
> dance, dance is another language.. it speaks and moves differently. and i'm glad that i am a dancer to move and touch others.
> my adorable ballroom family and coach, this team is so close. i have never been on a team that has actually been this close before. my coach does so much for me, and he is like an older bro to me.
> talent, i love watching someone else's talents. talent blows my mind, and i'm thankful i have beautiful talents.
> ryan, he is seriously my best friend in the whole entire world. he does a lot for me, and he means the world to me.
> missionaries, they go out for two years and spread the gospel to others who are struggling.
> trials, they make us stronger and make us who we are.
> army, thank you for serving our country and sacrificing your life for us.
> ten commandments, they make us follow the strait and narrow path so we can return to heavenly father.
> food, I LOVE FOOD. if i didn't have food or water i would probably just die!

etc.... i am grateful for more things, but these are basically the main ones.
i'm also thankful for YOU, yes YOU. thank you for reading my blog, and being you.

xoxo

disgusted.

if you didn't see miley cyrus's exciting performance at the music awards last night... oh your so lucky. she is disgusting, and i lost respect for her.

dear miley cyrus... please go back to the "old" miley cyrus. you know, before you decided to turn psycho on us. thanks.

sorry about that || exciting news.

hello lovlies!
i am currently on vacation and haven't been near a computer for awhile.... i have a lot of posts coming up soon, so don't you fret. i miss blogging every day or every other day, so i'm excited to get back. sorry about no blogging!

since i am on the computer right now, i guess i could blog about something! i have exciting news, i have reached 10,695 views on my blog! i think that is so crazy, especially since I've only had this blog for a little over a year. i love blogging, and i am thrilled that you readers like reading my blog. thank you!

i think that is all for now, chat with you soon.

be thankful.

happy fast sunday, i hope you all fasted like how i did! {i'm starving..} i love food, period... and could sit on the couch all day eating. it's bad i tell you, a bad habit of mine that i do.
any who... today i am very grateful of what i have in life. today, as i was fasting for a friend of mine, it made me very grateful of what i do have. my friend's dad is dying this month from pancreas cancer, and it made me wonder what if my dad had it.

i am thankful for.
> making crazy faces. i simply love taking pictures of my friends and i {or just me}. it makes me smile every time i see those insane faces. and sometimes i didn't know i could look so ugly with the faces i would make!
> modesty. there are a lot of girls {and guys}, that walk around showing off stuff that shouldn't be shown. i am grateful that the lord has given us this commandment to make us pure.
> naps. i love naps and i could sleep all day if i could.
> TLC say yes to the dress. it makes me excited to get married in the temple with my best friend!
> clothing. well i love clothes, because i don't have to walk around naked 24/7. that would not be a pretty sight...
> family. family is the BEST, and they will never leave your side. they help you out whenever and will always give you a hug when you need one.
> chocolate. who doesn't love chocolate? it's delicious! for those who don't well i can tell you, you are missing out!
> cameras. to capture the little moments in life.
> social media. social media is the best, i would probably die without it! if i didn't have it then i wouldn't have this fabulous blog of mine.
> boys. boys are fabulous, and make me happy. :)
> trials. this is a touchy subject for me, and it makes me a little bit uncomfortable when people talk about trials. but i am grateful for trials, they have been a huge blessing in my life. instead of me being sad about the trial i had... i rejoice, because without that trial i would be a messed up person.
> school. it gives me knowledge and the education i need.
> friends. i love my friends, they make me so happy. i love roasting smores with them, movie nights, parties, and staying up all night long with them.
> scriptures. they give me great advice, and i have received answers to prayers by reading them! the lord does listen to me, even when i ask for a simple stupid question.
> life. life is very special and even the next life.
> music. music sends powerful messages to everyone including me. music can be used in so many ways. i love music, especially when it's from hunter hayes... oh i love him.
> heavenly father. it's nice to know i can kneel down to pray morning and night and talk to him. tell him about my trials to the triumphs, boys, and my problems! i find it amazing.

have a great rest of the day, make sure to keep the spirit with you.

never stop trying.

the girl who get's made fun of, the girl who got pushed around in the halls, the girl who looks like a brat from a distance, the girl who the popular kids make fun of, the girl that hurt herself, the girl who isn't popular, the girl who got//is getting bullied. 

>>>>>>>> hey i'm sienna, and i'm unfortunately "the girl." i shouldn't have a label of "the girl", because of what people have done//said to me, or what i've done to them. is that right, no i don't think so. everyone has a story, whether it be big or small... don't judge them for who they are, or what they look like- because you never know what they have gone through. 

>>>>>>>> instead of the label "the girl", i should have the label "the girl who never stopped trying." i'm a fighter and i can do anything... i shouldn't have people put me down, because of what I can do.

>>>>>>>> i want to say thank you, surprisingly. to the people that hurt me and made me feel awful about myself- FOR NO REASON. to this day i still have no idea why you guys chose me to hurt, it's frustrating still not knowing... but thank you for doing what you did, because i wouldn't be who i am today- The Girl Who Never Stopped Trying. 

change.

one year ago to this day, my life was changed completely and i had to put up with the hardest trial of my life. i can't believe that it has actually been one year since everything happened. it was hard, but i'm grateful for that challenge//trial. with out that trial i wouldn't be who i am today, and i'm in love with the new sienna. i've been blessed through this whole entire year by family and friends, and my testimony has grown to the extreme.

cheers for the new sienna and cheers for making it this far.... happy one year anniversary? 

//thank you to everybody who helped me through this process, especially my mom and dad. xoxo

it's official.

early this morning at 5 a.m, i headed up to salt lake to register for American Idol! can i just tell you guys how excited i am?! auditions are tomorrow.... TOMORROW! i am not even close to being nervous- is that weird? oh i'm so excited! i can't believe i am actually doing this.... yay!

 wish me luck guys! xoxo {thanks dad for being at the registration and auditions. couldn't have done it without you!}

bragging a bit//surprise.

okay, i know i don't do the whole- post two things a day, but i just had to for this. can i just say i have the best grandpa a.k.a danka ever!? i absolutely love him to death, and i couldn't ask for a better grandpa. 

today was a very down//lazy day relaxing with my p.j.'s on. while i was doing my daily pinterest stuff, the door bell rang. i looked through the peep hole and saw this girl  holding a vase with flowers. thinking to myself "what in the world..." i opened the door and she asked "is sienna here?"... i was in complete shock wondering who in the world is giving me flowers? walking into the family room with confusion saying "someone gave me flowers..." i opened the card to find this: 

look how pretty they are?! it was the best surprise ever, especially coming from my grandpa. i love you grandpa and thank you so much, you are the best!
made my day complete. 

appreciation time.

i think it's time to say thank you to all of my readers. i love coming onto my blog and seeing all these random people comment, and tell me things. oh it makes me so happy, especially when i idolize that person. i have only had my blog for a year and half now and i have had 6,938 viewers already? is that even possible? but any-who, thank you for taking the time to read my crazy adventures here on my blog- it means a lot. also thank you to those who have been here with me ever since the beginning. my blog back then was totally interesting... and it's awesome that you guys are still reading. not to toot my own horn- but over the past two weeks i had 74 people following me on pinterest, and now i almost have 100... i think that is an accomplishment. maybe it's not from my blog- but i think a little bit of it has to do with it. i love you all, and again thank you so much. 

Miss Lehi Teen Pageant.

Tonight was the Miss Lehi Teen Pageant, and it was oh so fun:) 

I couldn't sleep at all last night because of how nervous//excited i was. i "woke up" at 9 to get ready for the private interview with the judges. i wasn't nervous at all, but as soon as i walked into the room i had bad butterflies. the interview was alright, wasn't my best. but the judges asked me to sing for them because i put on my resume- i want to audition for american idol. so at least that's good? my platform was Saying NO to Bullying, i did it because of my experience with bullying. 

after the hardest part of the day was done, i went home to get ready for the real deal. at 12:30 i headed down to the high school and practiced with the girls that were also competing. there were five girls total and i loved being with them through this whole experience. the pageant started and i was so nervous- which i'm never nervous when i perform. i could hear my loud and crazy family in the audience and they supported me through the whole entire afternoon. gotta love loud families- they are the best:) 

opening number was done, then we rushed to get ready for fitness. i rocked fitness- ask any body in my family and they will admit it. yup. rushed backstage to do talent, and i killed that to. i choreographed my own routine so it was oh so good:) after talent i ran backstage to get my evening gown on, and that took at least 15 minutes. the back of that dress.. ugh. i did awesome on evening wear too:) 

then the awful wait of having to hear who won. we waited forever- forever. the first attendant from last year was competing again this year, so i already knew she was going to win. we walked onto the stage and my heart was pounding, and i felt like i was about to throw up. i won for the most tickets sold- which you could tell because every time i came out the audience cheered the loudest for me. yup:) so i got a gift card to the movie theater. 

"and the first attendant is... contestant number 3 sienna meek." i was pretty excited because it was my first pageant. "the new miss lehi teen 2013 jackie thacker" duhhhh.. knew it was coming. my family rushed over to take thousands of pictures and hugged me. then all these little girls asked for my autograph. AHH i thought it was so cool, i felt like i was a celebrity. i got a $250 scholarship for college... pretty exciting:) 

this is bethany she is a sweetheart and she was miss lehi teen last year.

My favorite boy even came:)))

jackie and i went to the miss lehi pageant and it was awesome. they announced the new miss lehi teen and her attendant- so i felt extra special:) i was so excited about who won. below is a picture of my big sister from drill. this was her first year trying out and she won! she got 5 awards and was amazing:) i'm so proud of my big sis Dania.

i am so happy that i will be doing crazy things with jackie for a whole year. it will be so much fun and we will have the best year ever??! going to be in lots of parades this summer and do lots of service.... and other stuff. oh i'm so excited:) when i try out again next year for miss lehi teen hopefully it will be me. hopefully. (jackie and i were a couple points away.)
