I cannot even believe I am writing this right now. I don’t even know where to begin. First of all, we were not Beliebers from day one. We weren’t haters, but Justin was just like “that Justin Bieber kid” to us. We had wanted to see ‘Never Say Never’ when it was in theaters because we thought he was cute, and we were interested to see the story behind him. Dad was not going for it, so we just never ended up going to see it. Then it came to DVD, and mom rented it for us the day it released, May 11, 2011. That’s when our love for Justin began, and that’s also when I developed the passion to make Danica’s dream of meeting Justin come true. Click here to watch my video I made for Danica. Danica was struggling through a lot, and when that movie came out, it CHANGED our lives! We watched it for the first time, and we were BLOWN AWAY by his story! We just couldn’t get enough of it, so we made mom pay for an extra day of rental just so we could watch it 3 more times. Justin not taking “No” for an answer, not caring about what other people had to say, and just fighting straight through every obstacle – that is what changed our lives. We realized “he came from nothing, and look where he is now.” Never Say Never. I know people are probably like “that’s so cliche,” but it’s really true, especially NOW, I mean, WE MET JUSTIN DREW BIEBER! But I won’t skip ahead yet. When Born To Be Somebody played at the end of the movie, that was like Danica’s breaking point. That was when she realized, “Just because I’m losing my hair, that doesn’t mean I can’t fulfill my dream of being an actress. I can make a difference. I can be who I want to be whether I lose all of my hair, some of my hair.. I was born to be somebody.” From then on, Danica was like, “I want to meet Justin. I want to thank him. He really did change my life. It happened for the girls in the movie.” So of course, everyone’s first thought was, “You can’t just get up and say you want to meet Justin. That’s not as easy as you think, you know. How are you going to do that?” That’s when I made my Twitter account. Danica had no idea I even had a Twitter and what my username was. When Justin followed me, I couldn’t keep it a secret. I had to tell her. A month later, I uploaded the JBmeetDanica video with Danica’s story. I want to say: I didn’t make it because she was sick. I explained everything in the video, but I was trying to explain why Danica’s dream is what it is. I uploaded that video, and I had no idea of what would happen. I started tweeting the video all over Twitter. Then, I tweeted it to Adam Braun, and I woke up with a DM from him the next morning saying, “Good Job. I like it.” I was like freaking out. It also caught the attention of Michael Vargas, Dom (@radlife), Justin Alavi (@OtherJustin), Kuk Harrell and Mama Jan. 2012 was crazy. Justin had re-tweeted me twice, and both times, I didn’t even mention him. In August, Justin had a contest for his newest book ‘Just Getting Started,’ and I literally only tweeted “A” 7 times, choosing which picture I liked best. The next night, Justin tweeted “I’m about to announce the winners.” I got a tweet to my phone with my username and 9 others. I read it so fast, I honestly thought it was one of those F4F tweets. A week later we got the signed book in the mail, and we cried. He signed it with his full name, not just JB! #JBmeetDanica also trended for the first time that month, and it was INSANE, I couldn’t believe it! Then the countdown to Believe Tour had started and we didn’t have tickets to any shows because we couldn’t afford them . Louisville was 5 hours away so we convinced our parents to make the drive and hope for the best. We ended up being blessed with floor seats from one of the crew members. We can’t say who, but if he reads this, THANK YOU for being such a blessing in our lives! We didn’t get to meet Justin that night but the show was INCREDIBLE! I saw KENNY! I had jumped over chairs and everything to get to him because I just really wanted to hug him and see his beautiful smile. The show started and we felt like we were on top of the world. Justin just made us so happy. We couldn’t believe we were seeing him LIVE in person. Fast forwarding again, we counted down the days to Nashville, and again, we had no tickets because we couldn’t afford them. The week of the show, this is where our video above begins. Justin , if you’re reading this, THANK YOU for EVERYTHING. Thank you for being the inspiration that you are, changing our lives and inspiring Danica to keep fighting when she felt like she was at rock bottom. Thank you for insuring her that she was born to be somebody even if she loses all of her hair. Thank you for being so sweet in the M&G when our moment finally came. You always say, “I like that I can make them smile and forget about everything even it’s just for a few moments.” That’s what you did for Danica. I’ve never seen her smile as big as she smiled when she was in your arms. We just want you to know that we are so proud of you. You deserve to be where you are today, and we’re so incredibly proud. Last but not least, we appreciate you! You don’t always get the appreciation you deserve. Sometimes all of you hard work and dedication is taken for granted. We love you, we’re proud of you, and we truly appreciate you. Alfredo , if you ever read this, we tried to meet you twice, and unfortunately failed. We even had gifts for you: a “Swerve”/”Beastmode” beanie. Hopefully someday, we can finally meet, give you our gift, and get a crazy cute picture like we’ve always wanted. Scooter , we hate that we didn’t get to meet you. You always say, “It’s the siblings that inspire me,” so I’m hoping one day, I will finally get the chance to meet you and talk to you. Thank you for always being so positive! Thank you to everyone who was a part of making this happen! We will never be able to express how much this means to us! I finally got to see Danica smile in the arms of her inspiration. NEVER GIVE UP ON YOUR DREAMS! – My Twitter is now @JbMETdanica & @JDBinspiresDLP More: I cannot even believe I am writing this right now. I don’t…
