My name is Marina and I’m from Los Angeles, California. I’m going to be straight up and honest, I never would have thought I would be able to say “I’ve met Justin Bieber.” It still sounds funny and strange when I say it. I guess I had a tiny bit of hope for myself, but he’s getting so big and famous, so much popularity, that I honestly just wanted to give up. My fail attempts to meet him was really making me hopeless. My summer goal was to actually meet him and have the chance to thank him for everything he’s done for us. That chance came August 14, 2012. He was rehearsing at a dance studio in LA, and my friends knew where it was. Of course I couldn’t pass the opportunity up. I didn’t have a ride out to the venue and I was getting really frustrated, I seriously thought about walking. I guess my dad saw how upset I was, and offered to take me and my best friend, who is probably the biggest belieber I will ever meet. She practically pissed her pants when I told her “We’re going to meet Justin.” Anyways, we showed up early, and I see a few people I know from Twitter, and we just waited outside. Around 6 o’clock the van came out and we saw Moshe driving it, he glanced at us, and drove away. I would’ve broken down in tears if no one was around. I literally felt my stomach drop and I felt so hopeless. No one said anything. We just looked at each other and we thought “Well, I guess thats it.” A girls saw Moshe pull into a restaurant down the street, and saw that he was coming back towards us a few minutes later . I can’t begin to explain how happy I was. When he pulled up, we asked him if Justin could stop for us, if that was okay with Justin. Moshe agreed and said Justin will be out after he ate . When he said that, all I could think of was “This is it. It’s happening. After 4 years, of seeing him at free concerts, the funny interviews, I’m actually going to be face to face with the person I’ve went on this journey with.” Minutes went by, and the van was driving up. I wanted to throw up from excitement. We got in a line and then it happened. He opened the van door and I saw his face in person. He was so flawless. I walked up to him, and I just hugged him. It was the best feeling in the world (and he smelled really really good). I still remember his exact words. “Hello, how are you??” “Hi, I’m great, how are you?” “It’s nice to meet you!” “It’s nice to me you” We took are picture, I said thank you. I remember the girls in line hugging me and congratulating me. It was like they felt like family. We were extremely calm and no one was freaking out or crying, but when the van was down the street, man we lost it . It’s a great feeling to have met your idol. Never give up on what you want and always follow your dreams. Who knows, maybe you’ll be writing a My Bieber Experience too… Here is the original post: My name is Marina and I’m from Los Angeles, California….
