I can’t say I have been there from his very first YouTube video but I can say from the time I heard ‘Baby’ and ‘One Time’ on the radio, I was a fan. What really put me over the top? Seeing Never Say Never. The instant I saw that movie I got Bieber Fever. That same night I went home I looked him up and listened to all his music and learned almost every song in two days. When the director’s fan-cut came out I HAD to go see it again so I took my friend Lacey. She got Bieber Fever instantly too. From there out I was defiantly a Belieber. I just couldn’t get enough. I began listening to his music all the time. I was valedictorian for my high school and even mentioned Never Say Never and Justin in my speech. The summer of 2012, Lacey and I went to Stratford, Canada. It is beautiful there! It was so peaceful and calm. We went to all the locations mentioned on this special map they have made up for Justin. Even Madeline’s Diner which Justin “stamped” on the app. We even went to Pizza Pizza (the place they go to in Never Say Never) and the same guy was working there! It was an amazing experience and I cannot wait to go back. Since we didn’t see Justin while in Stratford, we could not wait for our concert. I will never forget the day the tickets went on sale. I remember everyone talking about Justin being on the Ellen Show on Thursday of that week and that is when he would announce his tour and ticket sales. So I was waiting for that day. But when I woke up Wednesday I had a text from Lacey saying that tickets went on sale that day at noon! I had to babysit that day so at 7:30 in the morning I was running out of my room to go get on the computer to make sure this was true! It was so I began looking at all the tour dates. He wasn’t coming to my city or even my state so we had to figure out a place that was close because we knew we had to go to this concert. I had to go babysit so I had to take my laptop and make sure I could access the internet. Lacey was in class still so she was relying on me to get this tickets. I was shaking. When 11:50 come around I opened as many tabs as I could for the two closest cities to us. I had already transferred money for how much we thought the VIP would be because we knew we wanted those. When 12 hit I was clicking all the things I could to get these tickets. When I clicked on VIP they were more than I had planned! So I clicked them anyways and was watching the little clock that says how much time you have left to buy them so I could transfer more money. It said I still had at least 3 minutes left so I clicked to continue. When I clicked it said these tickets were no longer available! I was freaking out because it said I had time left. As soon as that happened I didn’t know what to do. This was everything we wanted. Lacey called me like 5 seconds after that happened and said she had tickets and she was about to put in her credit card information. I was so excited! She wasn’t even supposed to be home so luckily she got out of class early or we would have never got the opportunity we got. We started a countdown and just couldn’t wait. As it got closer I got more and more excited. I couldn’t believe I would finally be meeting Justin Bieber, this amazing guy that I thought I would never meet or even see in person. The day came and I skipped classes that day so we could get down there in plenty of time because we could not be late. We got to the arena and we just couldn’t believe we were there. When the doors opened for VIP we went in and got all the stuff we had to get. While waiting in line Kenny came to the top of the stairs and that’s when I knew it was real. They took us up and we had to wait another 20-30 minutes. Then Dan Kanter came out and that was even more real. Behind the black tarp we saw feet and knew it must be time, that Justin had arrived. They opened the curtain just for a split second to catch a glimpse of him. AHHH! I couldn’t believe he was like 10 feet away. The meet and greet started and it was then our turn to go in. I couldn’t believe Justin was right there. He was so tiny! The moment was so fast though, I didn’t have time to take it in. It was in, take a picture and go. I couldn’t even tell him my name. The only thing I said was “Can I have a hug?” and he said “Of course you can have a hug!” So if Justin, you read this, my name is Skylr and I met you in Louisville . I just want him to know my name. But it was an amazing moment to know Justin Bieber put his arm around me. After the meet and greet, we had to go back outside and wait to go back in. When we got to our seats I couldn’t believe how close we were! I had never sat that close at a concert. It was amazing! Second row, so close. Carly Rae Jepsen came out first and during part of her performance she come over and touched my hand! She picked my hand out of all the hands! But anyways…I couldn’t wait for Justin to come out. When it was his turn to perform I was too excited. I just could not believe I was there. I was so close to the stage and so close to him performing. I did not want the night to end. It was a great show and it was so hard to leave. I want to go to another show so bad. So the night had to end but the memories will remain forever. It was an amazing night and I still could not believe I had met this amazing person that I had dreamed about meeting for 3 years. Justin is so inspiration and just an all-around great person. I did not think I would ever meet him but I did. So if you read this, do not stop believing because anything can happen. Do not give up on something you want. I never thought I would get to go to his concert, sit 2 nd row, and meet him but when I want something, I will not stop until I get it. Never Say Never and just Believe. I can cross two things off my bucket list: meeting Justin Bieber and going to Stratford, Canada. Now, I just need to get Justin to follow me on Twitter. Even though I’m 19, I am not afraid to admit I am a BELIEBER! I will stand up and support Justin til the end. Belieber Forever & Always. -@SDM15 Read the original: I can’t say I have been there from his very first YouTube video…
