Miley Cyrus Tickets Essay Contest

You can wish on a star, you can find your pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Rainbows are such magical and beautiful things and many people believe they can help to find the answers to their dreams. I believe rainbows are meant to keep sad people happy. They bring a smile to your face when you see one and they can brighten anyone’s day. As the sadness came when the rain fell, the happiness came at the slight feeling of a rainbow forming. It became a beautiful day. I wanted to smile and needed to smile and so I shall keep dreaming of finding my pot of gold at the end of the rainbow where magic and dreams may come true.

If we were a movie
You’d be the best guy
And I’d be the winner
That you’d give the tickets to!
In the end, my daughter would be smiling
Watchin’ Miley
Sing some songs
Dance some moves
Play that stadium show

How did i get here
I turned around and there you where
on craigslist then ksl
Guess somehow i knew
That this was more than a joke to me
i mean i knew you might give the tickets to me
But i figured it´s too good to be true

I said pinch me, where´s the catch this time
Can´t find a single cloud in the sky
Help me so I can see Miley with my own eyes

They say that good things take time
But really great things happen in a blink
Of an eye
Thought the chances to win tickets
to Miley were a million to one
And I hope to be that one

I have 6 year old niece whose B-day party I was to be attending a few months ago. The Theme…Hanna Montana. I put of getting a present for a few weeks thinking i would just be able to swing by the Wal-Mart and snag her Poster, doll or something of the nature. The day eventually came and 2 hours before the party I made my way to the store 2 hours before the party was to start. I wandered down the toy littered isles in dismay at what little Hanna Montana merchandise was left and what was left was broken, half open, or presently being worked over by little girls whom had been dropped of in the toy section by their parents while they did the shopping. I picked up an open Hanna Montana cosmetic case and attempted to collect the strewn pieces and arrange them back into the box so as to make it look presentable. “she would never know” I thought to myself after completing the task the gift looked like something you would find at the Deseret Industries as it was clear some little girl or …boy had done their worst and was probably at that very moment running around Wal-Mart with a face smeared with caked purple pink and blue makeup and berets haphazardly knotted into the hair. With a sigh I put the reformed cosmetic case down and slowly started out the store cursing mily Cyrus. Upon leaving I noted an end cap filled with bright colored orange and blue boxes, A Nerf Long Shot Sniper Rifle! It was perfect! Memories flooded my mind of all the hours spent in my youth Shooting Nerf projectiles at anyone I could find. I stood there eyeing the boxes and running over scenarios in my mind. It would be a good gift I thought, “Who doesn’t like Nerf guns and look at the thing, the box says its over 4 feet long, “cooooool.” I grabbed a box off the shelf headed for the register and made my purchase. I won’t give you the details of the nights party or what a little girl looks like tearing open a gift at her Hanna Montana Birth-Day party and finding a Nerf Sniper Rifle. Sufficient to say she and everyone there at the party huddled around the Birthday girl opening presents wore a very confused look when my impressive newspaper wrapping job was finally torn off revealing my now apparent blunder, Followed shortly by laughter from the adults and remarks tha persist to this day. At any rate, I would love to be able to make up the mistake with a couple of tickets to  take her to the Stadium of fire.   Thanks for your time.

We electively choose not to have television broadcasted in our house, so I have never watched the Disney channel. I have never heard a Mylie Cyrus song, (wait, isn’t her name Hannah Montana?) unless you count my 12-year-old daughter singing in the shower, or the time she danced in a talent show at her elementary school to “Nobody’s Perfect.” I have never been to Stadium of Fire in all the years I’ve lived here, unless you count our pathetic attempt at watching fireworks from the grassy knoll between Magleby’s and the bank across the street, and I have never won an essay contest. None of this bothers me. I could quite happily go the rest of my life without ever seeing a Hannah Montana episode. I enjoy my daughter singing in the shower, but I am sure she would find other songs to sing and her performances at school talent shows as a dancer, despite never having had a formal dance class, ever, will continue. My memories of sitting on that grassy knoll are pretty sweet, filled with “Hey, DO NOT run into the road. Not only are there cars, but they are distracted drivers who are watching fireworks as they drive, which as you know is as bad as speaking on a cell phone and driving.” Of course when we started this annual event, cell phones were the size of bricks and there were actually CAR phones, which were super cool. And, even though I am a college graduate with an English degree I am okay with never having won an essay contest because I was recently featured in the BYU Humanities Magazine as a “nontraditional” student who finally graduated, and isn’t that embarrassment accolade enough? You see, we have a family of four, so we wouldn’t have to leave anybody at home and even though our 9-year-old son would never tell another living soul that he saw Mylie Cyrus in concert, he would, however, tell about the sweet Blue Man Group and the amazing fireworks display. My husband would probably roll his eyes at having to attend the show, secretly happy that his wife took some initiative to write an essay. And, in all honesty, I would tell the world what a lucky girl I am and how I don’t really care about Mylie Cyrus, but now that my daughter has those hot tickets in her hand, I am go to my grave a happy woman.

I deserve to win four Miley Cyrus tickets because it would give me the chance to make my daughter’s 9th birthday really special. I would be a hero to my two 8 year old daughters. (They are not twins, just born 11 1/2 months apart.) They are both eight right now, but one will turn 9 on the 4th. Being born on the 4th of July seems like a great thing. Who else gets so much pomp and circumstance right? No one throws a parade and fireworks on my special day. Somehow, though, it never quite lives up to her expectations. Smoldering in the hot sun at the parade watching three hundred children get candy from the clown only to have him pass you by puts a damper on it. She never gets a friend party because they are always busy with family celebrations. Being a single mom of seven, I have never been able to afford to take the kids to the stadium. We live in Provo , so we always find a spot close by to watch the fireworks, but the children always speculate on what might be going on inside the stadium. It would be a dream come true just to be able to be inside for once. As to the fact that it is Hannah Motanna who is playing there, it would be over the top cool. My girls know every word to every song she sings. They love her beyond measure!! When they heard she was going to be here they were beside themselves with joy. It didn’t occur to them that they would not be able to see her because we can’t afford tickets. I was going to try to make it happen. We had a wrist band, waited in line for hours only to be turned away because they had sold out. It makes me sad to think of all the broken hearted little girls because people are out to make a buck. I have to commend you, by the way for making the better choice. You will be blessed in the end. Mikayli’s 5 older brothers have tried to find someone who would be willing to part with their tickets, but we have not had any luck. Just think, you could be a part of making a nine year old girl’s dream come true, giving her the best birthday ever! You would be a hero to my sons and me. I would be a hero to my two little daughters.

He seems to be as old as the hills but he is just shy of 72. Art and Bonnie only eat organic foods out of their garden. He is always trying to get Doug to try these “miracle pills” to better his health. Art would give you the shirt of his own back and when Doug noticed a large ant hill in the dirt Art hobbled quickly over to his house and brought back some Melaleuca oil to place on the hill. “Just a few drops will make the ants disappear” he said confidently. And you know what? He was right.

Art is always in his garage fiddling with some sort of gadget or tool. He has invented all sorts of bizarre things that make me chuckle. For some reason he loves tables. He made one with wheels and lights attached to it.

He faux finished his garage that would make any Tuscan restaurant envious. “Who the heck paints their garage and faux finishes it? If only the walls on the INSIDE of my home looked so good” I said.

Art gets up early. He is up by 4:30 A.M. and dressed. He always invites us over for breakfast consisting of cooked wheat germ, raisons and nuts. If anyone has ever tasted cooked wheat germ you know that it is an acquired taste. Once, a friend of mine was coming home early Sunday morning from a graveyard shift and noticed that Art was dressed in his church clothes working in his garage, ready for the day all by 5:00 A.M.

Art’s yard is immaculate. Every blade of grass is groomed and in place. He is meticulous in shaping his trees and shrubs. One time after mowing and edging his lawn instead of sweeping his sidewalk like normal people he was out there with his SHOP VAC vacuuming up his grass trimmings. “What is wrong with this man?” I said to Doug “Why is he shop vac-ing his sidewalk and driveway?” Lately, I am starting to feel like I am Mrs. Kravitz from the show Bewitched. I am always looking out through the cracks of my curtains just to see what shenanigans Art is doing next.

Art hates weeds. Doug and I were outside in the front yard when he came over to chat. Immediately Art noticed patches of Chick weed weaving itself through our grass. “Would you like a lesson on how to get rid of chick weed?” he asked Doug. Since Doug is such a polite gentleman never wanting to interrupt or steal anyone’s thunder he said “YES!!” Art pulled out a screw driver from his front shirt pocket and began his lesson. “You need to get under the root and dig around it and then PULL up!” I knew Doug knew how to pull a weed but he wanted to make sure Art felt needed. I say let’s make him feel needed all over the yard! There is plenty of chick weed, dandelions and morning glory to make him feel special all summer long.

Art told us he can’t drive anymore because he has narcolepsy. He will fall asleep without any warning for a few seconds. I think I have narcolepsy too. It usually comes on around 2:00 in the afternoon and I usually come out of it by 4:00. I don’t know if this is narcolepsy or “NAP”olepsy I’ll let you know as soon as the test results come back.

Doug said that when he was a boy on the farm they used to have Fainting Goats. A form of narcolepsy in animals. This is a special kind of goat that when it gets scared or excited it will fall over in a dead faint for a few seconds. He told me how he and his brothers would chase these goats around just to see them faint. “Do you want to chase Art around the yard to see if he will faint? He’s kind of like an old goat. It could be lots of fun!” I said. Again, Doug had no response to such a sarcastic comment.

Perhaps in 40 years Doug will be just like Art. Always helping others, always having solutions to problems and still have enough energy to get up early in the morning and accomplish more then humanly possible. Maybe the neighbors will say he’s even a little crazy. But wouldn’t our world be a better place if there were more people like Art around? Yes, a kinder, gentler world not to mention weed free.

She is Hannah Storm, the OTHER alter ego of the famed superstar Hannah Montana. With her long, blonde wig, sparkly belt wrapped around her Hannah pajamas and chocolate milk mustache she flies from the couch to battle the infinite enemies of the famed superstar.
She hears the distress signal call out from her specially designed Hannah Montana guitar. Billy Ray has called upon her to save his beloved daughter from danger. He has uncovered the top secret plan of the “Missionaries” to pay Hannah Montana a “visit” while at her concert in Provo, Utah. As he was telling her the details of the plot by the “Missionaries” the transmission was cut short. She was unable to ask Billy Ray how she was supposed to get into the sold out concert to save Hannah Montana.
Hannah Storm knows she cannot do this alone, so she calls upon her sidekicks Sissy Storm, Momma Storm and Poppa Storm. She tells her superhero colleagues of the danger to Hannah Montana and the dilemma of how they don’t have tickets to get into the concert. She gives each of them a task. Momma Storm is in charge of persuading a kind hearted soul into giving the superhero foursome the tickets they will need to get into the sold out concert. This is the hardest task of all because if Momma Storm does not succeed Hannah, Sissy and Poppa Storm will not be able to complete their tasks. If Momma Storm does succeed Sissy Storm will use her crocodile tears to distract the “Missionaries” while Hannah Storm uses her specially crafted ninja skills to fend them off. After these two have succeeded then the final task of Poppa Storm can be completed. He will be sent off to face the many dangers of the concession stands to bring back his superhero girls their popcorn, sour candy and root beer to refresh them from all their hard work. So it is up to you, kind hearted soul, will Hannah Storm and her crew of superhero colleagues succeed?

Audrie, my niece at 10 years old was so sad to here that the airline that was going to take her to paradise had gone out of business. She was not going to be able to go and see her Grandpa in Hawaii anymore. That didn’t stop her from having a good attitude. She told her mom that she was not going to let this get her down.

She continued helping her mom every day with her brother and sister. Her mom was on bed rest because of the possibility of early labor. She went to school and got excellent grades. She practiced the piano every day like she was told. She didn’t sulk, cry but she had a smile on her face that never faded. She was still the light of the party! She still did her pre-teen giggle like nothing had gone wrong.

When she should have been in Hawaii her mom had her baby sister 8 weeks early. This was hard on the whole family. Audrie told her mom that there was a reason that she wasn’t in Hawaii and it was to be with her. Her mom had to go through with a c-section and was in much pain. Audrie was right there helping out again with out complaining and doing EVERYTHING she could to keep her younger brother and sister busy. She would do anything to keep her mom comfortable and happy. She has a special love for her family that I haven’t ever seen before.

If anyone deserves these tickets, it’s Audrie! She has been a trooper and is a HUGE fan of Miley Cyrus. This would make her the happiest 10 year old there is. Let’s reward her for everything that she has done for her family and friends.

I am the proud Aunt of 11 nieces and nephews.  For the past nine years I have worked hard to be the very best Aunt I could be to all of them.  I recently had my first baby and it makes me sad to not be able to do quite as much with them as  I used to be able to.  Three of them (2 nieces and 1 nephew) are huge Miley Cyrus fans.  Their parents attempted to get tickets, but weren’t able to.  I would be ecstatic if I could surprise them with tickets and take them to the concert.  Please help me be able to spend this special time with them.
They all really deserve to go.  They have always been great kids, but especially since I have had my baby they have been so cute.  They volunteer to come help every chance they get.  They come to my house to do household chores including vacuuming, washing mop boards, and helping me take care of my new baby.
I really want to show them how much I appreciate all their help, and I can’t think of a better way to do it than to take them to see their favorite person, Hannah Montana!
Please help me be the World’s Best Aunt and help give some really deserving kids a night they will always remember.

Hi my name is Kelsi. I am nine years old, I have one brother and one sister. I deserve to have these tickets because all we do is play video games. My mom is in nursing school and my dad builds houses. Most of the time I am helping baby-sit. There was one time when I was helping baby-sit and I was laying on the ground. My cousin yelled, “doggie pile on Kelsi.” He jumped on top of me and then my sister and my other cousin. Pretty soon, my baby brother joined in. It made it hard to breath! After that, mom came in and I got in trouble for all of the noise. Besides video games, I have been helping my mom and dad all summer. I am a HUGE Miley Cyrus fan! I have a Miley Cyrus blanket, wastebasket, six posters, three CD’s (two #1 and one #2), and three Miley shirts. I love Miley Cyrus and would love to meet her someday. Miley Cyrus is a great actress and the way she acts with Jackson you would think they are really brother and sister. (I’m not sure if they are or not) My family has been trying to get Stadium of Fire tickets forever and I hope this is my chance. Most of my friends already have tickets because they are dancing in the show or they got lucky. My mom and dad can’t afford the high prices to buy me tickets. My summer has been really boring and to add a little fun to it would be awesome. I heard the Blue Man Group is coming too and they are really cool. Miley Cyrus is still my favorite though. Thank you for letting me enter.
(note from mom: Kelsi wrote this all by herself. She really is a great helper with her siblings and cousins and would love to see Miley)

I have a granddaughter who’s parents listed to Miley’s music on cd. My granddaughter is only 29 months old and she loves “Hannah Montana”.  She has worn out her mother’s cd playing it over and over and she loves one song in particular.  She will play it  over and over.  Her father has taught her how to push the replay button on our stereo system in the house and as soon as the song if over, she runs and pushes it to replay the song.  She dances and dances and dances all over the house to Miley’s music and watches her show on tv.  I don’t know where she learned the dance moves because she has never taken dance but she can do the steps as if she had taken some dance classes.

She loves to watch the Hannah Montana show on tv.  If you try to talk to her while she is watching it, she will push you away and if you persist, she gets upset with you.  If she is in a store and sees her picture on a book, clothes, or a toy, she makes sure whoever she is with knows that it is Hannah. When she is in the car with her parents, she wants “Hannah”.  So, her parents put in the cd for her to listen to. She moves around in her booster seat as if she were out on the ground dancing.

I find it amazing that a 2 year old would identify with Miley’s music plus her show on TV.  If they are listening to the radio and they play one of her songs, my granddaughter excitedly says “Hannah” “Hannah”.

I would love for her to be able to go to the concert.

I do not - I repeat - DO NOT deserve free tickets to see Miley Cyrus at the Stadium of Fire. Actually I don’t have any desire to be there and can think of 100 other things I would rather do. I am a thirty-something student who lives with her husband and two cats in a 500 square foot apartment. I deserve a trip to Hawaii, but I do not deserve these tickets.

Jasmine, my nine-year-old niece, however, is more deserving of these tickets than anyone else I can think of. Because you said you didn’t want a sob story, I won’t focus on all of Jasmine’s hardships, this is not Make-A-Wish, but I do want to mention that she has a major back surgery sceduled in August and this would be an amazing opportunity for her just to go out and be a normal kid and do normal kid things with her family for a night.

What you should know about Jasmine is that like every other girl between the ages of three and sixteen, as evidenced by all of the “My daughter loves Miley” essays on this website,  she loves Miley Cyrus. She also loves Webkinz and that guy Troy from High School Musical. She is a well rounded little consumer.

But Jasmine does more than just fall into the traps of well-placed media figures. She is great at math and reading. She is kind to adults, kids, and animals. She always tell me she loves me and that I am the best auntee ever. Jasmine smiles her way through life, even though life has thrown her one curveball after the next.

So why should you give these tickets to me to give to my niece and her family? I didn’t write anything cheeky about Muppets or the Blue Man Group. In fact, this essay probably looks a good deal like the other 70+ on here so far.

My reason is purely selfish…when Jasmine is 16 and unruly like teenagers are, I want to have something to hold over her head. “Just remember Jasi, Auntee Erin won you those Miley Cyrus tickets when you were nine. Wasn’t that great? Good, now go do my dishes!”

I’m Hannah Montana’s biggest fan.  I sing her songs shen I wake up.  I sing her songs when I’m in the bathroom, when I take a shower, when I brush my hair, when I’m cleaning, when I’m playing, when I’m in the car, when I’m shooting the basketball, and when I’m swimming.  I even try to sing her songs while I’m brushing my teeth.  Let’s just say when I wake up I sing her songs non stop.  By singing her songs I get to annoy my brother which is always fun.  I like to put her songs on repeat and play them over and over again until my dad yells at me and I have to stop.  I dance around the kitchen to her songs “Let’s Dance” and “See You Again”.  In fact I listen to them so much my little sisters know the words by heart.  They really, really, really want to see the concert too.
My dream is to be a Pop Star like Miley.  I think Hannah Montana is a good inspiration because she rocks and her songs rock because they’re fun to sing.  Her clothes always look awesome not to mention he T.V. show rocks
If I won the tickets I’d scream and shout and probably throw a huge party and stay up all night.  And if I win I’ll probably yell I Won! I Won!! I Won, I Won, I Won!!!  I’ll yell it to the deer, the jackrabbits, the cougars, the foxes, and the red ants.  If I won I would write a story about going to her concert and about how I won the tickets.  I would write about you and this essay contest.  When I become a Pop Star I’ll write a song about how I got to go to my first concert by winning this essay contest.
Did I mention I’m Hannah Montana’s biggest fan and my room is covered with Hannah Montana stickers?

Well, bye-

The resoan i want to go to Miley Cyrus tikets is my sister loves miley alot.Everyday in our court we lestin to it. We have six people in my family most of us in our family have it on our Ipods or cell. Another resoan is i heard that blue man group is going to be there, (and i always wanted to see blue man group),And glenn beck is going to be there,(my mom always watches glenn on his T.V. show and on the radio. We live in Utah and if you didn’t know Miley Cyrus tikets sold out in less than an hour and i wanted to go so bad but our friend got tickets. We also wathch her show evryday on disney channel if we could watch any show it would be hannah montana.
If i knew what the stadium offire looked ilke it would look awsome. You know how Miley and blue man group sing and play insurments and glenn beck is a talk show host but if his there to sing Iam notgoing to the show if I get the tickets.So thank you for selling these tikets I hope i get the tickets.

I don’t really think I deserve Miley Cyrus tickets but I know some young teenage girls I would give them to.  I work with 12-17 year old young women at my church and there are a couple of young women who would benefit from some one on one time with their mothers.  If I got the tickets I would give them to these 2 young women and their mothers.  It would be a fun way for them to develop a closer relationship, not to mention the Stadium of Fire events are a blast.

Miley Cyrus really appeals to these young women – they are at the perfect age to enjoy her performances.  They would be so excited to get these tickets and would not normally be able to go see this type of event.  My husband and I have gone in the past to the Stadium of Fire but this year’s performance seems more in line with the interest of these young women.  I am always looking for ways to get to know the girls better and give them opportunities to strengthen their family relationships.  Some relationships need a little more work than others and any little things can make a big difference.  Miley Cyrus tickets would be a perfect way to build my relationship with the young women and to strengthen their own family relationships.

There are a lot of deserving people out there but these young women are also really special.  They are really fun to be around and love to be involved with different trends.  They would adore the opportunity to hear Miley Cyrus perform and see the fireworks from the Stadium.  This event has definitely been priced out of their range and it would be really neat to enjoy this unique event.   I would love it if these young women had a chance to go see this awesome event!

July 4th.  This day is my favorite holiday throughout the year.  Growing up in Orem, Utah, I have many fond memories related to this day – the Provo Grand Parade, the Balloon Fest, the Patriotic Service, and most of all, the fireworks (usually from outside the Stadium).  Even though I have grown up in this area, I rarely have had the chance to actually go to the performances inside the Stadium.  Last year, I had a very sweet friend give me and my husband tickets to go to the performance.  It was amazing!  This year, both my husband and I want to go, but tickets sold out fast, and were relatively expensive for two young college students with a baby on the way.  My husband is from Las Vegas and loves Blue Man Group, and when he found out that they were performing, he really wanted tickets.  With our first little baby (a girl!) on the way, there is no way for us to be able to get tickets at the price that the scalpers are selling them.  I saw this contest and a spark of hope ignited inside me!  I would love to surprise my husband with tickets to see Blue Man Group, and I myself would love to see all of the performers, as well as be inside the Stadium for the celebration and fireworks.

When I hear the National Anthem and see our flag, I feel so much love, appreciation, and pride for our country and for all of the people who serve our country in many different facets.  What an amazing time to be alive and to be a U.S. citizen.  There are so many people who would do anything to become an American citizen, and yet, we seem to take it for granted so often.  I tutor a Hispanic woman from Chile in English twice a week, and I have been helping her prepare for the U.S. Citizenship test.  She works so hard and has a strong goal of being able to pass this test.  As I help her, I see all of the energy and work that she is putting in to prepare for this big milestone in her life.  This experience has helped me to realize how lucky I am to be an American and the freedom that I am able to have each day because of the choices that have been made by founding fathers and government representatives.

If you would please seriously consider my essay, I would appreciate it SO much!  I truly hope that someday (when we’ve graduated and are established) we will be able to be as generous as you are, and make dreams come true for people that need a little help!  Thank you so much for creating this contest!  Happy 4th of July!

Okay so here is my story.  I am the oldest of 3 children.  My younger sister and brother have 5 children between them.  They have 3 “tweenies” who love Miley Cyrus.  I have two older children of my own (boys).  I have always been auntie. My nieces and nephews and I have always been very close.  I adore them and they adore me.  Due to divorces and separations they have all moved out of the state and I only get to see them in the summer time and for a week around Christmas.  I always try to do something special with them while they are here.

So two summers ago my oldest son got married and he and his new wife got a honeymoon baby.  When I saw my nieces and nephews Christmas and told them that my son and his wife were going to have a baby and I was going to be a grandma, my middle niece Maddisen burst into tears and ran away from me.  When I finally got her to settle down she said to me “But I don’t want you to be a grandma, I want you to still be my aunt Riki”.  She was sure that I would not love them as much when I became a grandma.  I hugged her tightly and promised that I would love her for ever just as much as always.  Then came the summer and they came for a visit and I was sick – I have Lupus – and I wasn’t able to spend as much time with them as I wanted to and usually did.  Again she was certain that it was because I was now a grandma.

Well they are all back again and when my sister and I went to pick up her kids in Wyoming for the summer the very first thing her daughter asked her was if she could take her and my other two nieces to see Miley Cyrus.  Of course tickets have been sold out forever and even if they weren’t there is no way she could afford them.

So basically I am saying that the reason I deserve the tickets is because I have to show my nieces that they are still extremely important to me and I have to do something special with them.  All I really want to do is make them feel special to auntie Riki again.  It is important to me and they are important to me.  We already have plans for a Lagoon day that everyone is excited about but my sweet nieces eat, sleep and live Miley Cyrus and this would show them how much I love them, besides we all need a “girls night” away from all the dumb boys and their parents.  That is really the best part of it.
