Miley Cyrus Tickets Essay Contest

I deserve tickets to see Miley Cyrus at the Stadium of fire for many reasons.  I am from outside Phoenix, Arizona. I am traveling to Utah to visit a friend the weekend of the show. He has been away for the past five years working on a mission program. Now that he is back and we can finally see each other again, I would to show him a good time before he begins school at Weber State on academic scholarship. The ability to attend this concert would be such a wonderful, memorable experience. I hope you will consider honoring me with this great gift!

Well, I am no longer able to complain about a lack of excitement in my life, or a lack of retardedness for that matter.  Let’s just go ahead and put it out there that I am the worst babysitter on the planet and that if you leave your kids with me you’ll be lucky if get them back an all in-tact and functional.

Well, I was sitting on my bed with my 11 month old baby brother Jaxon, with whom I had been entrusted to take care of for the evening. He was sitting on the bed next to me playing with and of course eating everything within his reach. Inside my purse I have a plastic blue pill box with my son Andrew’s meds in it that I had just filled this morning. When I noticed Jaxon pick it up I thought to myself “he won’t get it open, and if he does, I’m sitting literally right next to him and I’ll grab it away.” Yes, I am in fact a complete idiot. Well, I must have been pretty engrossed in whatever I was doing on my laptop (I don’t even remember anymore!) because when I looked up the pill box is open and all 4 pills are gone. Well I of course go on a rampage to locate and retrieve the spilt pills. As I’m searching all across the bed, then rummaging through my big cluttered purse where I locate 2 of the 4 pills, I keep searching, starting to get nervous now.  My heart rate is speeding and my mind is racing with worry.  I call my dad and husband, who tell me they are moments from getting home.  I locate the 3rd pill between the covers, but the fourth, the round white one, is no where to be found. I’ve looked everywhere in the general vicinity several times at this point and the panic is definitely sinking in.  When the guys walk in the door, I quickly explain the situation and get them on phone with poison control. Mika from poison control very calmly informs me that the baby’s heart rate and blood pressure could rise dramatically and his heart could stop any minute.  This is the point at which we flew down the stairs, into the car and rushed to the hospital.

Well you can imagine what a worthless horrible care giver I feel like at this point as we are checking him in and I have to explain all over again how I let the baby use the hazardous pill box as a rattle/chew toy.  All the while, poor little Jaxon, who seemed to be feeling fine BTW, could die any second and it’s all my fault, and no one’s ever going to trust me with their kids again!

The nurse took us into a room and inspected the bottle of medication (which in my hurry I did remember to bring) and informed us that she wasn’t too worried, he’d probably just get sleepy, but to be safe she’d have us see the Doctor for a final opinion.  Well, that was very positive hopeful news.

While we waited to see the Doctor I went to the vending machines to find Jaxon some comfort foods, cheetos and juice. I was rummaging through my purse for change when I again pulled out the blue pillbox with Andrew’s meds which are organized by separate compartments for each day of the week.  As I inspected it, I noticed that the Wednesday compartment wasn’t empty, but that his night pill, the round white one was still there.  …But I did give him his night pill…  That’s when I remembered that earlier when I was giving Andrew his night pill, I tipped the pill box expecting one round white pill to roll into his hand, but along with it the three more colorful morning pills tumbled to the carpet. For some reason I must have opened Saturday’s instead of Wednesday’s compartment. Well at the time I just hurriedly picked them up (before the baby could toddle over and put one in his mouth of course) and returned them to Saturday’s compartment without much thought.  Coincidentally (and unfortunately) that was the very same compartment that Jaxon somehow popped open with his drooly little mouth.

Well, when we realized, to much relief that he hadn’t eaten the pill, we checked out of the hospital (fortunately without a bill since he hadn’t seen the Dr. yet!) and took sweet little oblivious Jaxon home to bed.

In the end I guess no one and nothing was really hurt except for my self confidence, especially in my parenting ability (there goes any inclination I had to further reproduce) and probably my status as best big sister ever.

If you found this true story amusing, or just tragically entertaining, please help me make it up to Jaxon and his big sister (huge Miley fan) and my dad and step mom by awarding my unfortunate folly with the ever so coveted Stadium of Fire tickets.

I’m really excited about going to Utah over the 4th of July. I’m going for a family reunion, I’ve never been to one before because I never had a family before. My mom says I have lots of cousins, aunts and uncles that want to meet me and love me. I’m a little nervous. Plus I get to fly on an airplane!

My birth mom wasn’t a very good person so I had to go live with a foster family for a few years when I turned 4. I didn’t ever think I would have my own family but now I do. It’s awesome! I get to do lots of cool things like swim, dance and listen to Hannah Montana! I love dancing to her music. My mom says it is good to sing and dance, that it makes you feel better if you are sad and it really works!

I’ve never been to a concert. I haven’t done a lot of things that kids my age have done. My mom tried to buy tickets but they are all sold out.

I think this is suppose to be a creative story but sometimes my story of how I founds my forever family is as full of adventure as any creative story would be.

I hope you pick me, I would be so happy and would take lots of pictures and sing and dance to every song.

Hello. I am a 9 year old girl who LOVES Miley Cyrus. I watch the Hannah Montana show all the time, but have never been able to go to one of her concerts. I have been begging my mom to get tickets for her concert forever!

I think that I deserve the tickets to Stadium of Fire because I have worked really hard this year. I get really good grades in school and try very hard to be nice to other kids (except for my annoying little brother). I always try to make everyone feel like they belong. I have been helping a lot around the house by doing my chores every day and helping my mom with housework and cooking. I also have dance practice 3 times a week and have been working very hard to be a good dancer. I am also trying to learn to play the guitar and sing.

I have never been to a fireworks show - just watched them from my house. I think it would be really fun to see the fireworks up close. My mom is in school and can’t afford to buy fireworks this year. She says we are lucky to have food on the table. It would be so cool to have something fun to do this summer. I would really love to see the fireworks for the 4th of July and I’m sure my annoying little brother would too.

If I get the tickets I will be the happiest nine year old in the world. I might even think about being nice to my brother for the rest of the summer, even though that would be REALLY hard! Please give me the tickets and my mom would love you forever too because she would love to see me be nice to my brother!

Sadenned that my first essay of the three I have written didn’t get posted, i write my fourth.

This time I would like to basically just tell everyone to watch Muppets from Space and put me in Gonzo’s shoes and then crazy space aliens are the Blue Man Group.

You haven’t seen Muppets from Space? Please turn off your computer and go rent it… now. Thanks.

The gist is, Gonzo is well, the only one. Even Noah says go away when he tried to load onto the Ark. It was tragic and I actually did cry.

Well turns out the crazy nose blue thing reads in his cereal that he isn’t alone and his family is coming to visit him on earth. And then some space fish visit him and he builds a hot tub thanks to Pepe’ The King Crab (whom is by far the most awesome muppet ever).

Well, some other crazy blue things end up actually existing, just in space.

Well the point i’m trying to make is that yesterday my Rice Krispies told me to go see Miley and I will no longer be alone. But I am sure it’s code for the Blue Man Group are my real moms.

My grandma just got diagnosed with breast cancer, My mom has a bad back, so we can’t pay to go to the concert and I haven’t been on vacation for 10 years belive it or not! So please let my family have these tickets please, plus my best friend and only friend just moved to Idaho and I would like to take her to see hannah montan since she is her favorite.

Why do I deserve tickets to the Stadium of Fire?
To be quite honest I really don’t. In the past few days have misinformed, confused and unintentionally deceived my cousin into believing that her family actually have a chance at obtaining tickets to the Stadium of Fire at a reasonable price. How could I commit such an atrocity against my wonderful cousin, her husband and their lovely children? Well, let me explain. My cousin and her family are visiting from Virginia and relied on me to assist in find fun activities for the children. Taking my job as the impromptu vacation planner quite seriously my thoughts quickly turned to the upcoming 4th of July event. My cousin had been talking about the Blue Man Group since the fight landed in Vegas, the girls happen to be rabid Hannah Montana fans and well, whoever Glen Beck was he definitely sounded cool. This was the ideal event!

I am not writting this essay for me but for my baby sister. Alittle over a year ago my lil. sister started going to a Dr about some health problems she had been having. No one new what was wrong with her. The long nights of being sick and missing school where starting to get old. Her Dr. didnt know what to do. So he sent her to Salt lake UT. Where 15 Dr’s came in to see her and run tons of test.Well they were waiting for the tests to come back they went over to the mall. Thats when and where the phone call came. They told my mother that they had found something in my sisters chest. They told her they needed to come back ASAP!!!! Thats the day I found out my sister had cancer. in January of 08 she started treatments. It had been alittle over a long 3 months of her being sick, not sleeping, no school, no friends, and getting sickly skinny plus losing her long hair. But atleast she was one of the cuttest girls I have seen bald! Now she is doing alot better. But trying to move on from ” how could this happen to a child is hard.” We wanted to get her tickets to this concert so bad. infact they did have the tickets ready to be payed for. Then the computer turned off and they lost them. I know that going to this show and see one of the fav. singers would make her life alot better right now.

My daughter would just absolutely die to see Miley Cyrus. I have two boys who really really want to see the blue man group too! They would just go crazy! We would love to go and do something fun! Something that we all enjoy and something that would make my little ones overjoyed!!! I don’t have alot of money and really want to do this for them. Just to see their faces would leave an imprint in me forever. There’s nothing better then seeing your children’s eyes light up! We would love love love to go.

“They are already sold out…” I sighed to my husband Derek. A small smile of relief he was hoping to conceal spread across his face. He quickly schooled his features and gave me a hug thinking I had not noticed in my grief. “Next year maybe, sweetheart.” He said in his most overdone comforting voice. I rolled my eyes. Next year? He has been planning to move back east with his upcoming graduation next April for several years now! My suspension’s are rapidly being confirmed. He doesn’t want to go! I punch his arm and stalk away. “What? What did I do…”. If only I could find a way to make it all back fire on him! He would be more surprised then I would be if I somehow managed to get my hands on those coveted tickets! His punishment for feigning interest, AND my reward! The thought makes me giggle with delight. Although, I am quite convinced he secretly would like it. But having a manly front to keep up and all, the very idea of enjoying something of this nature would torment him to no end. So at all costs he will try to avoid going. He’d never admit it, and likely he would never let me live it down… BUT it’d be so worth it. I’m sad to say that if not this year, than not ever, unfortunately. Partially because I won’t live in Utah ever again, and partially because it’s the first NON-COUNTRY music Stadium of Fire I’ve ever been aware of! If this years events were the same, well lets just say I would be writing an essay on why I would NOT like to go. Hmmm, if that were the case come to think of it, maybe my husband would be the one thinking of finding ways to surprise ME with tickets…

I am currently in school at BYU, working at the MTC, and interning as an ESL tutor.  My husband is also in school.  I am preparing to graduate in August, and I am also 6 1/2 months pregnant, expecting our first baby in September (it’s a girl!).  We definitely don’t have the money to buy tickets, and I had the wonderful opportunity to go to the show last year, when a generous person gave me and my husband tickets, and I would love to be able to go again.  My husband loves Blue Man Group (he is from Vegas) and I have never seen them perform.  We would both love to go, but I would especially love to surprise him with these tickets.  Although it seems cliche saying that we are two poor college newlyweds, it would mean a lot to be able to go to this show.  Thank you for your kindness and generosity in considering us!

My neice really really loves this Miley Cyrus and would just die to go! She is going to turn 7 the end of this month and this would make the most amazing birthday present ever. I’m not going to leave you with a big sob story. I’m just going to say that she really loves her. She called this morning to make sure I was on the website trying my hardest for her. She doesn’t have a computer. She said that she hopes someday they could be sisters and that she loves her. I would so badly love for this to happen for her. Please consider us. I know there are so so many people wanting the same thing so we will just keep our figers crossed. We know that whoever wins will be well deserving of the tickets. This little one wears her wig and all. I cannot even imagine what winning these would do to her! It’s been so hard trying to find tickets and the website kicked my sister off and once she got back on, they were all sold out. Now, they can’t afford to go because people bought loads and are selling them for outrageous prices. Thanks so much for trying to fulfill little dreams at no cost. This is fantastic.

I’m a single mother of three wonderful children who find ways to always put a smile on my face but also on others.  I live pay day to pay day.  I’m also a student so that one day I can have a better job and take care of my children without aid but for now we have to do what we have to do.  Even though my children know we don’t have much and we get help they will go through their things in their room and clothes.  What they don’t play with anymore they give to other children in need.  When our ward was getting things together for children in Africa they went through there clothes to see what didn’t fit and how we could help.  They always find a family in need at christmas time and talk to their grandparents about helping these kids out.  They will go shopping with my parents and then help wrap and would take the gifts to the parents of the other children.  I’m so impressed by how my children feel for others and want to look out for them.  I know my children would love to go see this concert and enjoy the fireworks after.  This would be a great gift to them and a amazing first concert for them to see.  I would be so thankful if we got these tickets and I know many others are trying to get them too and I know it’s a long shot but I hope you find in your heart to help out my children as they do with others.
My daughter’s and son enjoy the show and that’s as far as I thought I could ever get them to see her sing, so getting these tickets would be a dream come true.  This four year old, seven year old, and nine year old would get to feel how others feel from them.  For me that would be a dream come true.  Thanks for reading about my great children and giving us the chance to try and go to the show.

Mom: Hey kids, guess what? The 4th of July is coming up. Isn’t that exciting!

Kid 1: Hooray! I love the 4th of July. Can we barbecue?

Kid 2: Yeah, and have another water balloon fight?

Kid 1: Oh, and will Dad make his homemade ice cream!?

Kid 2: We can camp out in the back yard and stay up late and eat all the junk food we want!

Both kids (with ferver): The 4th of July is the best day EVEEEERRRRRR!!!

Mom: Actually guys, we’re going to a wedding. Not just any wedding, but a real stuffed shirt, silk table linens, fancy schmancy, just-be-quiet-for-these-two-hours-and-you-can-have-a-puppy type wedding.

~ stunned silence~

~ more stunned silence~

Kid 1: Uh…do we really get a puppy?

Mom: No, I was just saying that for illustrative purposes. You’ll basically get nothing. I don’t even think their custom has cake…

~even more stunned silence~

Mom: But hey, we’ll be back in time for fireworks. We could sit on the neighbor’s still burning hot roof again and watch Stadium of Fire.

Kid 2: Can we go inside and see Hannah Mon…

Mom: No. Those tickets sold out on November 24th, 1992: one day after Miley Cyrus was born because the matter of the Universe actually rippled and the DNA of all humans was altered in such a way that they had to compulsively line up at 2 am in order to *hopefully* get back row balcony seats. We could go out on the *hopefully* wet grass, *hopefully* next to those redneck drunks from last year who loudly declared after every firework “This must be the grand finale!” and belched and spilled Miller Light in my hair. Wasn’t that fun!?!

~stunned silence~

Kid 1: (trance-like whisper) a weddiiiiingggg…

Kid 2: (with glazed over eyes) noooo caaaake…

Mom: Kids??? KIDS???? NOOOOO!!!!!! With Achey-Breaky Heart as my witness, I will, someday, somehow, make it up to you! Please, children, come back! Can you hear me!?! Please!! I’m so sorry! (heavy sobbing) I should never have…(more sobbing) Forgive me! Baby! (panic sobbing) Can you hear me! I swear I’ll make it up to you. I’ll MAKE IT UP TO YOU!!! (sob sob sob)

My neice little Kaytlin Mae will be turning 7 on June 29th and would love nothing more than to see her idol Miley! Her daddy works out of town all week to support them while mom also works hard taking care of the little ones. They have tried so hard to find something affordable for their family but cannot. I know there are many many people who would love these and my reason is to simply see the most delightful, awesome thing in the world, a little child’s face light with excitement and joy! She would just die! I am poor, struggling married student, and can’t buy them for her so we need a little help. These things seem trivial to adults but they are so unforgettable to the little ones in the world that help us stay innocent! So i’m just asking please! We’d love to be chosen.

There is not much that i can do or say to win these tickets very easily. i am sure that very many people are entering to get these tickets. and who am i to just assume i deserve them more then anyone else? i am someone who is willing to get anything to her family to let them i know care. these tickets are so important to have for my sister who is 10. Like any other 10 year old she loves miley Cyrus and adores her. When i was younger we used to have great fourth of Julys. however as i grew older my dad had to leave us and left my mom with 7 kids all under the age of 12. thigs got much harder and everything started to change. We could never afford these tickets now.  and my little sister never really experienced the excitment that she should on the fourth of July. I just want ot give some of that back to her becuase for only being 10 she has gone through a lot more then so many other girls of her age have. and even people that are older then she is. I know we are just another option to pick but please consider us. I know she deserves this because she is a great kid. We deserve this chance.

I am actually not writing this for me, I am writing this for my best friend Sandy who is a wonderful woman. She is a mother of 2 boys (soon to be 3 she is pregnant with her 3rd). They have had a very difficult time. Sandy was married for 9 years to a very controlling man who would make her get 2-3 jobs at a time but then tell her that she needed to be home because the house work was not getting done so she had to quit her jobs. She and her 2 sons lived in a homeless shelter for a while but she has vowed to never let them go back again. I know that her sons would love to see Miley Cyrus in concert Hannah Montana is one of their favorite shows. Sandy has been a wonderful friend to me. I have been her roommate since February of 2007 and in that time I had emergency gallbladder surgery in April of 2007 and a 5th knee surgery in September of 2007. I am now about to have another surgery to have a fibroid tumor removed from my uterus (tomorrow morning to be exact June 23, 2008). She has helped me and taken care of me through all of this. She is going to be at the hospital for me tomorrow because I told her of everyone I would want her there when I woke up from the surgery. I probably would not be able to be at the concert because of my surgery but she has 2 wonderful sons (Derick and Kawika) who would love this experience. They have actually never been to a concert before. Please consider this wonderful family for your choice to see Miley Cyrus they really deserve it.
