Well, coming from someone who has lost a mother to cancer, I can say that this scam is low-down. Alissa Jackson told friends and family she had stage 4 ovarian cancer that was spreading to her brain. They would later learn she had lied – and Alissa would have to face the court of public opinion and the court of law.
Identical Twin Sisters Graduate With Identical 4.0 Grade Point Averages Two Virginia twins who were previously were co-Valedictorians at their high school with 4.0 GPAs have done it again. Alissa and Ariel Barrow recently graduated from North Carolina A&T State University with identical 4.0 grade-point averages. Via RelationsNCAT.Edu Their paths through the university have varied only slightly over the past four years. Alissa has been an economics major. Ariel majored in marketing and sales. Alissa had two internships with GE Capital; Ariel, with Kraft and 3M. They’ve been active in different organizations, the Aggie Economics Association for Alissa and the American Marketing Association for Ariel, for example. Their academic accomplishments are nothing new. The twins were co-valedictorians at Armstrong High School in Richmond, Virginia. At A&T, both were honor students and received the Dowdy Scholarship, the university’s preeminent four-year scholarship. And they arrived on campus with the same goal. “When we came in as freshmen, we definitely had a goal to graduate with a 4.0,” Alissa says. “We had an honors mentor who actually had a 4.0. That set the groundwork for us. We said, ‘If she can do it, then we can definitely do it, too.’” After graduation, Alissa will go to work for GE Capital; Ariel will join General Mills. Amazing! Go girls!
My name is Laura, and I met my idol on April 2nd, 2013 in Hamburg. Every belieber has a dream about meeting Justin. I’ve also had one for such a long time, and I never ever in my life thought it would happen. My Bieber experience started when I bought tickets for his Believe tour in Hamburg. I live in Denmark but my friend and I wanted to go so badly so we bought tickets. We of course joined the meet & greet contest on BieberFever even though we knew the chances of winning is small. The concert came closer and closer. All those days of counting down, they were now gone. On April 1st I woke up from a call from my friend. She was like, “Omgomgomg we won the contest!” I thought at first it was an April Fool’s joke but she sent me screenshots and it was true! We were then at the O2 at 2 p.m. on April 2nd. When we got there we were just walking around to see how it all looked, bought some merchandise and talked with some beliebers. At 4 p.m. we went to entrance E4 to pick up our meet & greet wristbands, and then waited in line. My friend and I got into a group with 4 other Danish girls, who also won from BieberFever. The queue was getting shorter, and it was finally our turn to meet Justin! I was so afraid that I wasn’t going to stand beside him, but as soon as the security said “It’s your turn,” I walked up to the front as fast as I could. We were now standing right behind the curtain, and could see Justin smiling and taking pictures. I was freaking out! It was our turn and Justin said, “Come on in.” I walked right next to him, I was so nervous and couldn’t believe my own eyes. I was standing next to JUSTIN BIEBER. I put my arm around him, and my other hand on his six pack. I could feel his abs through his tank-top, it was amazing. We had our picture and then I told him I loved him and stuff. He said, “Thank you sweetie,” with his cute accent and a big smile on his face. I asked for a hug, but the security went through me and Justin and pulled me out of the room. They also pushed my friend because she was standing beside Justin, but the security didn’t want her to! Justin saw that she was getting sad, so he took his hand and put it around her shoulder on the picture, so cute. It all happened so quickly. I wish we could have spend a little more time with him, but it was still the best time of my life. It was such an amazing experience, and there is NO words that can describe it. After the meeting, we went to the concert which also was amazing! The way Justin came on stage was fantastic, and although I had high expectations for Justin, I was so surprised. My friend and I were singing and dancing for our lives. The whole show was just insane. It may take a while to meet Justin, but it’s worth waiting! Thank you so much Justin for being the best idol in the whole world, and a big thanks to BieberFever for making my dream a reality. -Laura (@LauraAsJBsOLLG) Video from my Believe Tour concert Visit link: My name is Laura, and I met my idol on April 2nd, 2013 in…
My name is Alissa, I’m 15 and I’m from a small village near Frankfurt in Germany. I want to tell you guys my Bieber experience. I never thought that I would ever meet him. I always dreamed that I would get the opportunity to meet Justin, but never thought it would really come true. It all started when the tickets for the Believe tour had been released. At first I bought tickets for the Golden Circle. I think I was the happiest girl in the world but one day when I came back from school, my mum told me that she has a big surprise for me. She told me I have to check my emails. There it was, the confirmation that I had a meet & greet ticket for the Believe tour. I couldn’t believe it. The 260 days until the day went by so fast. Then the day was here where I, Alissa Nane, meet the boy I fell in love with in 2009. On this morning I stayed up by crying, shaking and I don’t even know what was happening. In the car I went crazy and I was crying so hard because I knew that I would meet JUSTIN DREW BIEBER in a few hours. After waiting around for about four hours we were finally taken down backstage to meet him. We also met Dan Kanter. After waiting a few minutes, it was my turn. Justin smiled at me and his eyes twinkled. I was so flashed that I couldn’t say anything. All I could feel was my heart beating so fast. He was so beautiful, he was more beautiful than in videos or pictures. After we had smiled for the picture I walked out of the meet and greet room. I burst into tears and fell to the ground. I couldn’t believe that and I can’t believe this now. It is still so unreal. All I can do is stare at my picture with Justin. I hope my story gives you hope and if you guys keep believing, you’ll meet Justin too. I love you Justin. Thank you for that amazing day, and thank you for making me smile when I needed it the most. I will never forget 3rd of March, 2013. -@itsalizza Read more: My name is Alissa, I’m 15 and I’m from a small…
