I’m Maya, I’m 16 years old and I am from Atlanta, Georgia! But recently, I moved to Dallas, TX with no hopes in meeting Justin. This is My Bieber Experience. It happened October 29, 2012, and it’s a pleasure to share it with everyone! It all started when my friends began to tweet my hash-tag #BiebsMeetMaya. I was hopeless in meeting Justin and I just wanted to go to the arena and meet him on my own. I didn’t feel I deserved to have a hash-tag, and to this day, I still don’t believe I deserved it. A couple of days before the day of my concert (Dallas, Texas) the #BiebsMeetMaya hash-tag trended at number one on Twitter for two days straight! I bawled my eyes out to my parents, feeling like I had a sense of hope. I finally believed that I was actually going to meet my idol. Finally, I woke up the day of my concert around 5 a.m., ready to go to the arena and wait outside for Justin. I got all dressed up and dolled myself up, so I could look good, just in case I actually did end up meeting him! Normally I’d just throw on a pair of leggings, a flannel and walk out of the house, but that day, October 29th, it was special for me. My mom was running late, acting as if meeting Justin wasn’t important to me and we ended up leaving for the arena at 11 a.m. While I was in the car on the way to the arena I got a call from @BieberSergeant. I knew that every time she physically called me on the phone that it was important. I answered to find out that I was meeting Justin! I kicked and screamed, almost causing my mother to get in an accident on the road. I checked my phone to see that Scooter had tweeted my trend! I began to not breathe correctly. A few minutes later, Steve (@sb_projects) told me to check my DMs and it was all of the information I needed in order to meet Justin. Waiting for the concert to begin was so fun and I got to hang out with so many beliebers. We sang songs by the buses, created signs, and threw Oreos at the bus that Alfredo had been on. It was actually one of the most fun filled days of my life. Around 4:30 p.m., I went to the box office to pick up my ticket and M&G wristband. That’s when I saw Kenny for the first time. I introduced myself, and he did the same. We shook hands and his hands were so soft. I felt like I was with another family member. He directed me into the M&G line. There, I waited with my mom in the M&G line when I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned around to see none other than ALFREDO! He said to me, “Are you Maya?” I began to freak out because I was really looking forward to meeting him. I gave him a couple of letters that some fans gave me and we talked for awhile. Earlier that day, I ran around outside of the arena, asking beliebers if they had any letters for Justin, so when I got closer up in the line, I gave one of the guys in Justin’s crew all of the letters I collected that day. I kid you not, there were about 50 of them. They looked at me as if I were insane. The curtain of the M&G opened and before my eyes I saw Justin smile at me as I handed the letters to the man. I walked through the curtains, saying hello to Justin’s camera man, Mike, then I turned around to finally say hello to Justin. He shot me a smile, gripping his arm around my waist, pulling me in for the photo, as the other 5 people moved into the curtains for the picture as well. I felt like I was in a fantasy, as the photo had been taken. I don’t remember much of that part. I started to freak out, thinking I blinked, or that I was too busy looking at Justin during the picture. After the photo was taken, I remembered everything so clearly. I remember the security rushing everyone out and Justin trying to talk to me. I remember looking into his eyes and almost dying at the view. They were full of innocence and care. “Thank you so much for coming. I hope you enjoy the show!” He murmured to me. Finally, he let go of me, allowing me to walk out. Security yelled at me, due to staying in there a little longer than everyone else, but it was worth it. Afterwards, I met up with Kenny again and took a picture with him. He told my mother that I deserved to meet Justin and that I was a very hard working individual and that I was a great person. It made my day to hear someone I looked up to tell my own mother that. Knowing I only had one ticket, I asked for an extra for my mother. We had spent $600 on nosebleed seats and I didn’t want to be on the floor, separated from her. Knowing that my phone was about to die, I asked Kenny for another ticket. He smiled and nodded his head, “Yes.” While he went to get another ticket for my mom, I sat and talked with Alfredo. We had so much fun, talking about the things that went on Twitter! Unfortunately, I didn’t get a photo with him because I was way too excited. Kenny came back with my ticket and it was time for me to leave out. Normally, they cut everyone’s wristbands and make them throw away, but Justin’s crew allowed me to keep mine for memory sake. I almost walked out of the front door of the arena, and there, hundreds of girls threw themselves at the window. I looked behind me and realized that Justin was still there, meeting a Make-A-Wish family. He was so kind to them. He had been so cute with the kids. Seeing him with that family made my day. Kenny knew that if I walked out of that door, I’d get jumped by all of those girls, so he took me out of another door. I was grateful he did that for me. I stood outside of the arena, reflecting upon everything that had happened before the concert started. I was beyond grateful for everything that happened. I realized that I was actually happy. I hadn’t been happy for awhile, but my friends and Justin’s crew worked together to make my dreams come true. At that very moment, I took the time to tweet: “I MET JUSTIN BIEBER!!!” and I got a reply from Scooter! I fangirled in front of my mom. Around 6, it was time to go into the arena for the concert. It was my first time ever seeing Justin live. I put my phone down so that I could take in my full concert experience. He often grabbed my hand, sang to me, and it felt good to be near the stage. The concert was over and I got home to see all of my friends congratulating me and asking what happened. I explained everything to see Alfredo tweet me. I freaked out because I never thought Alfredo would notice me! But the tweets from my favorite people weren’t done coming. I finally decided to go to sleep, only to see that Justin had tweeted me a smiley face. My username used to be @glorybieber, but someone stole it for me. To sum this up, I’m @renownedbieber and I’m just beyond thankful that this experience happened for me. It will have be smiling for a lifetime. Please don’t give up on meeting your idol! I did it with lots of hope and prayer! Remember that things may not work out in the beginning, but if you keep dreaming, it will happen, someday!
