I’m Poppy and I’m 14 years old. My dream came true on May 3rd 2011 at the My World Tour concert in Melbourne . The night before the concert, I could hardly sleep. The fact that I was going to see my biggest inspiration and hero live was absolutely amazing! I didn’t really have very good seats, but I was still stoked that I was just there supporting Justin, even if I couldn’t see him as well as some people could. On that day, I couldn’t keep still. I couldn’t possibly go to school because I wouldn’t have been able to shut up about how incredible the concert would be. The whole day I kept reminding my Mum that I had only 3 hours, or 5 hours until I was going to see Justin. I live a couple of hours away from the venue where the concert was so when my Dad and I was driving down there,  I got a phone call from my friends’ Dad, named Eddie. I was going with his son named Lewis, and immediately I thought they were going to say they couldn’t come to the concert. Then he said, ‘Do you want to meet Justin Bieber?’ I remember those exact words and I think I died then came back alive again because I was so speechless.  ’Oh my gosh’ I cried, ‘Are you kidding me?’ But he wasn’t joking, he was full on serious. ’Justin’s waiting for you backstage’ he said. Justin is waiting for me backstage? Justin Drew Bieber is waiting for ME? ME, Poppy? We met up with Lewis and Eddie at the venue and this guy gave us wristbands which indicated that we were allowed backstage. And mind you, I also still have those wristbands, haha. This man took us backstage to this door, where Kenny was standing. Kenny was so, so, so tall. I looked like a little ant compared to him, but he is so nice, like a friendly giant.  Kenny took us into this room backstage, Carin was there with a photographer. She smiled at me, but Justin was no where to be seen. The all of a sudden.. .BOO! Justin had jumped out behind a curtain and scared the living daylights out of me. He smiled at me and said hello. He asked me what I was up to, and how I was. He wished that he hoped we liked the concert. Although I hadn’t seen the concert yet, I knew it was going to be amazing anyway. Justin hugged us, and we took a picture. I was crying. Once we got out from backstage and where all the other beliebers were, these cameras and microphones surrounded us. It was a television station and they were wondering why we were backstage with Justin and what we were doing. I should’ve said, ‘Oh, I’m secretly Justin’s girlfriend’, but I thought I’d better keep it real.  All these beliebers surrounded us when we were walking, asking us questions, asking us for hugs because we had met Justin. It was such a surreal moment and I felt like a celebrity.  The concert was amazing, I loved every second of it. But the Bieber experience hadn’t ended after the concert…When I got home to my town, it was CRAZY! Everyone knew about it and everyone knew me! All my teachers were amazed, all my friends were amazed and random people in the streets were amazed! I had people coming up to me and touching my arm because I’d touched Justin Bieber. I had phone calls asking me about Justin. I even had an interview with some newspapers with the headline ‘Biebers Girl’. It was absolutely crazy, and even now I get asked about it at least once a day. After I could think straight for a while, I was asking myself, ‘How on earth did Eddie organize me to meet Justin?’ It turned out that him and my dad knows people who know Justin, we had connections with Justin Bieber! I still think to myself that this must be a dream because I honestly never thought I’d meet Justin. Now I know never say never works, and anything can happen if you just believe ♥   -Poppy @BeMineKidrauhl Visit link: I’m Poppy and I’m 14 years old.
