So, so you made a lot of mistakes
Walked down the road a little sideways
Cracked a brick when you hit the wall
Yeah, so you didn't do your best
It pulled you down faster than a sunset
Hey it happens to us all

When the cold hard rain just won't quit
And ya can't see your way out of it

You find your faith that's been lost and shaken
Here's your chance and it's worth takin'
Get on your knees and dig down deep
You can do what you think is impossible
Keep on believin', don't give in
You've got the strength, to raise the win
Remember what one dream can do
You are unstoppable

You, you can weather any storm
Don't you know that you were born to win
Oh (helping hand) you find a helping hand when you need it most (need it most)
A lighthouse shining on the coast that never goes dim

When your back's against the wall
When ya, when you stumble, when you fall

You find your faith that's been lost and shaken
Here's your chance and it's worth takin'
Get on your knees and dig down deep
You can do what you think is impossible
Keep on believin', don't give in
You've got the strength, to raise the win
Remember what one dream can do
You are unstoppable

Like a river keeps on rollin' (river keeps on rollin')
Like a north wind blowin'
Don't it feel good knowin'
Yeahhhhhhhh

You find your faith that's been lost and shaken
You take back what's been taken
Get on your knees and dig down deep
You can do what you think is impossible
Keep on believin', don't give in
You've got the strength, to raise the win
Remember what one dream can do (one dream can do)
You are unstoppable

(Whoa oh whoa whoa oh whoa oh) Yes you you are unstoppable
(Whoa oh whoa whoa oh whoa oh) So you made a lot of mistakes
(Whoa oh whoa whoa oh whoa oh) But you got up back into the game
(Whoa oh whoa whoa oh whoa oh) You you are unstoppable

You know the phrase, "There's no 'I' in 'team'"? Why not? We're Americans! We put a man on the moon; you think we can't put an I in team? Just wedge one in there, maybe after the E. T-E-I-M. Team! Like Keith. -Stephen Colbert

Spoiler:

Two years ago, I went to watch Wicked at the Pantages Theater. After the show was over, I was descending the steps with the rest of the exiting crowd. A man who worked at the theater was standing at the bottom of the staircase, telling everyone to watch their step. I stared at him, thinking how unnecessary and lame his job was. Unfortunately, karma read my mind, and when I reached the bottom step, I tripped and fell flat on my face. He looked at me like I was stupid. I didn't blame him. MLIA

When I read in school, I tend to tune in every once and awhile just in case the teacher decided to call on me because I wasn't paying attention. One day, while I was reading my physics teacher tried to catch me in not paying attention and asked, "So, Christina, if an SUV hit a Lumina, the SUV would have more force, correct?" I popped my head up and said "NO, it would cancel out because everything has equal force." He stepped back and was silent a moment and then yelled, "HOW DO YOU DO THAT??" I laughed for the rest of the hour. MLIA

Today my english techer spent 15 minutes explaining to the class how to sleep in class without getting caught by the teacher. Most productive class ever. MLIA

Today, in english class, the teacher seperated us into groups to discuss the book we are reading as a class, The Scarlet Letter. I left halfway through to go to the restroom, and when I left, my group was deep in discussion of the book. When i returned, the conversation topic was : Which Disney princess or celebrity would you go gay for? I have no idea how this happened and I sort of wished I'd stayed to find out. MLIA.

Today, I went to the washroom and saw a toilet with the sign "No diving- shallow water". I'm still concerned as to why this sign was necessary. MLIA

For the past few days, one of the girls bathrooms at our school had been shut down and the waterfountain had been turned off and removed with I giant hole. Thinking of MLIA, I put up a sign that said "The Chamber of Secrets has been opened." when my friends saw it they all screamed like fangirls and were so excited that somebody at our school was Average. I believe I made my school ten times better, and that the basilisk will get whoever took it down. MLIA

Today, I tried to find the "Average" button on a post I thought was amusing. I then realized that I wasn't on MLIA. MLIA

Today, I found the two boys that sit behind me in science had tampons shoved up their noses. I am currently on my period and am missing four tampons, so I asked them if they took them, all they said was "We wanted to get an idea of how it feels." MLIA

Today, I was baby-sitting a 7 year-old. They wanted Ice Cream. I told them first they had to eat something green. I walked in the kitchen 3 minutes later. Green M&Ms. He got a big bowl of ice cream.

Today I was looking through my cell phone manual because there was absolutely nothing else to do. On the first page of the book, there were things listed that you were never supposed to do. One of them was to put your cell phone in the microwave. I wonder how many idiots have tried it before they put it in the manual. MLIA.

Today, I was reading a "cook book" from preschool. everyone was supposed to submit their favorite food and the recipe for it. most were things like, double chocolate cookies: and then had the ingredients as 2 eggs, 2 cups of this 2 cups of that. clearly, these kids got help from their parents. what was mine? favorite food: pizza. ingredients: get in the car. drive to the store. go to the cold place. get out a pizza. leave (good to know i thought paying was important ) stick it in the oven and wait for mommy to burn it. im clearly going to be a cook when im older.

Today I was watching a movie on my laptop. I got to one scene in the movie where a man said, "I hate to repeat myself." Then the movie started skipping, replaying that line multiple times. MLIA.

Today, my Algebra teacher, who is a hardcore runner, was telling us a story. After the last marathon she ran, there were large tables of food. She goes to the first table, full of bagels and picks one up, considering how hungry she is. Then, at the next table she sees Krispy Kreme donuts, and has second thoughts about the bagel she picked up. As she goes to throw it away, there's 3 trash cans full of abandoned bagels. I'm sorry I missed this race. MLIA.

Today, I was in lunch when I heard loud bangs behind me I looked to see two big football players shaking the vending machine because their chips got stuck. They continued to shake the machine with no progress when the puniest kid in our school went over there, kicked the machine once, and knocked the chips down I laughed MLIA

Yesterday we had to do faculty evaluations in class at my college. The professor handed out the "fill in the bubble" test sheets for us to do his evaluation on, and proceeded to tell us that he had to leave the room while we were evaluating him. No sooner had the door shut behind him when someone excitedly declared, "Sweet, that means we can cheat on this thing!" Wow. MLIA

Today, my friend was writing with her lavender mechanical pencil. She put it down under her other books for a few minutes. When she pulled it out again, it was dark blue and sparkly. We couldn't find the other pencil and I'm convinced the pencil is secretly a magic wand. MLIA.

Today, I asked my mother if I could get a fake I.D. She looked at me like I was insane.

My. Mom. MLIA

Today I was reading my health textbook. It says "People who live to be 65 have an increased chance of reaching age 80 and above. However, people who do not live to be 65 have a much lesser chance of reaching age 80." Thanks for clarifying. MLIA

Today, for my lunch break, I decided to go out and get McDonalds. When the man on the speaker asked me what I want to order, I replied with, "A Krabby Patty," After a few moments of silence, he screams, "THEY KNOW!" which was proceeded by the rest of the employee's in the back freaking out. After a few seconds, some of the staff, including the manager ran out of the building. I'm so confused. MLIA

Today, on my way home from the mall i accidentally cut someone off at a 4-way stop. The lady who i just cut off tried give me the finger but she was wearing mittens. FAIL! MLIA

Today, my parents bought a new set of drinking glasses. There are no differences between these and the old set besides the fact that the new glasses are smaller.

I was throughly convinced that some of our glasses had shrunk in the wash, and my parents let me go on about it frantically for the next ten minutes before they told me about their purchase. MLIA.

Today, I counted up the 43 dollars in small bills my cat has brought me. Normally, she will bring me a mouse or a bird, but in the last week I have also received an I-pod touch- with apps- and 2 unopened boxes of cheez-its. I still have no idea how my cat is doing this, but the cheez-its were wonderful. MLIA

A week ago in my homeroom we did Secret Santa. Most people gave cookies or some kind of candy, I gave my person hand sanitizer and everyone laughed at me. This week my entire homeroom, besides myself and the person I gave the sanitizer to, is sick with swine flu. Whose laughing now? MLIA

A while ago, i was running late for football practice. I hurried up and got my pads on hoping i could sneak onto the practice field unnoticed.

MLIA

Today, my dog was sitting in front of me looking all innocent after pooping on the floor and I said to her sternly, "Do not. even think. of laying a paw on me!" and all of a sudden she lifts her paw ever-so-slowly as she's staring into my eyes and sets it on my lap. I am now convinced my dog understands English. MLIA.

Yesterday I was explaining to this guy about how sharks are attracted to blood, but he didn't agree.

My response? "It's Pixar."

Today, I went to the eye doctor. I went to the bathroom before I was called in and saw that there was a sign above the toilet that said "Toilet."
