It started on December 18, 2010 when I decided not to have a Quinceañera and I decided to ask for tickets to see my idol. Days before the 18th, my parents started looking for websites that would sell tickets for the My World Tour in Miami. They finally found one and bought me the tickets, I was so happy (they weren’t that close but I was still seeing him for the first time so it didn’t matter). I enjoyed that concert so much. I remember when the OLLG was picked, she was in the same section as me, 9 rows away from me and I was so frustrated but I understood that everything happens for a reason. Then, in 2013, so many amazing things happened to me. In January, Justin re-tweeted me twice. It was so exciting to know that he noticed me and I just couldn’t believe it. In July, the tickets for the Believe Tour went on sale and I ran to my computer to buy the tickets but the computer froze and I was really mad thinking that I would be ticketless. Finally when I got the chance to buy the tickets, the page gave me the seats on a corner which was Platino 9 Row 2 Seat 2 and then I looked at the map to see exactly where would I be seated. I got a bit sad because I thought I wasn’t going to be able to see him but I calmed myself down and started thinking that the OLLGs are always picked from the corners. A month before October 29, I started participating in various competitions for M&G with my cousin. We participated in 4 contests and we lost all of them. I started feeling so frustrated. October 29 finally came, I didn’t have a M&G so I knew I wasn’t going to be able to meet him, at that point I gave up. I got to the stadium at about 5:30, I went to my seat and met so many beliebers that day. When Justin came out, I was beaming with excitement. I just couldn’t believe that after 3 years, I got the chance to yet again see the person who changed part of my life. When I was recording Justin, I calmed myself down and stopped screaming and jumping. Suddenly I look back and I see Jenn. Inside I was screaming, “JENN OMFG.” I got close to her and asked her for a picture. She said, “Sure,” and also told me she loved my phone cover. I told her thank you for the picture and went back to where I was seating and she disappeared. 15 minutes passed and while ‘Beauty and a Beat’ was playing, I turned my head to where Jenn was last time and there she was! She started to give me signals to get close to her, so I went over and she whispered in my ear, “Do you want to be the One Less Lonely Girl?” I was in total shock, I started shaking and I just kept saying, “Yes, yes, yes, yes!” She took me by my hand, to a part of the stadium. She then gave me a shirt of Justin to put on. Once I was backstage I saw Scrappy   and he waved at me and he was so nice. Then I saw Dan and he started waving at me and I sent him kisses with my hands. OLLG started playing I started to shake so much. Jenn then asked me if I was nervous and I said yes. She told me to relax and told me to only look at Justin’s eyes. When I went out there, it was incredible. I couldn’t believe it, seeing all those beliebers from the stage and knowing that Justin was going to sing to me. I sat down and Justin started getting close to me. I started to hyperventilate; I couldn’t control myself, all I could think was that he was getting closer by the second. Finally when he was next to me, his eyes, his eyebrows, his eyelashes, his mouth, just everything was perfect but especially his eyes, they were so beautiful. My happiness grew even bigger as he started grabbing my face. I was so nervous and in total shock at what was happening. When the song was over, we hugged and he asked me, “What’s your name sweetie?” I said, “Paula”, he then said “Lola?” I said him, “No, Paula” and that’s when he finally understood and said, “Paula!” When he pronounced my name it sounded so cute, and then we ran backstage together. Nothing else happened after this, the dancers moved him away from me and he got into a small room where he changed and give him water. Jenn then took me by the hand and started escorting me back to my section. Before she left, I thanked her so much. I was then back at my section and there were so many beliebers congratulating me. I took pictures with so many of them and even let some of them borrow my crown, I just can’t believe this all happened. Don’t ever lose hope and always remember that if things don’t work out the way you planned it, don’t get sad. Everything happens for a reason, everything has it’s purpose but if it didn’t happen that moment, it will another time. Never Say Never!

For Your Information: Al Sharpton Says Supreme Court Striking Down Voting Rights Act “Cancels Part Of Martin Luther King’s Dream”

It might sound dramatic, but Rev. Al is speaking on the real. Via HuffingtonPost MSNBC was the first cable news network to turn to the news of the Supreme Court’s ruling on the Voting Rights Act on Tuesday. Both MSNBC and NBC simultaneously aired legal correspondent Pete Williams’ take on the case. Williams said that the Court had struck down a “key part” of the Act by ruling that one of its sections was unconstitutional. “It’s a huge defeat for the civil rights community on the most important civil rights law ever passed,” he said. That view was echoed across other networks. ABC’s Terry Moran, for instance, said that “right now, there is no Voting Rights Act operative in the United States.” Speaking on MSNBC, Al Sharpton called the news “devastating.” Later, he said the Court had “revoked” and “canceled” part of Martin Luther King’s “dream.” For those that are unaware of what the Voting Rights Act is, take a few minutes to soak up the game. Via HuffingtonPost The Supreme Court struck down Section 4 of the Voting Rights Act on Tuesday, the provision of the landmark civil rights law that designates which parts of the country must have changes to their voting laws cleared by the federal government or in federal court. The 5-4 ruling, authored by Chief Justice John Roberts and joined by Justices Antonin Scalia, Anthony Kennedy, Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito, ruled in Shelby County v. Holder that “things have changed dramatically” in the South in the nearly 50 years since the Voting Rights Act was signed in 1965. The court’s opinion said it did not strike down the act of Congress “lightly,” and said it “took care to avoid ruling on the constitutionality of the Voting Rights Act” in a separate case back in 2009. “Congress could have updated the coverage formula at that time, but did not do so. Its failure to act leaves us today with no choice but to declare [Section 4] unconstitutional. The formula in that section can no longer be used as a basis for subjecting jurisdictions to preclearance.” The Voting Rights Act has recently been used to block a voter ID law in Texas and delay the implementation of another in South Carolina. Both states are no longer subject to the preclearance requirement because of the court’s ruling on Tuesday. “Our country has changed, and while any racial discrimination in voting is too much, Congress must ensure that the legislation it passes to remedy that problem speaks to current conditions,” Roberts wrote. “There is no doubt that these improvements are in large part because of the Voting Rights Act,” he wrote. “The Act has proved immensely successful at redressing racial discrimination and integrating the voting process.” Clearly, not everyone agrees… Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg issued a wide-ranging dissent on behalf of herself and Justices Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor, and Elena Kagan, justifying the continued vitality of the Voting Rights Act’s preclearance provision. “The sad irony of today’s decision lies in its utter failure to grasp why the VRA has proven effective,” Ginsburg wrote. “The Court appears to believe that the VRA’s success in eliminating the specific devices extant in 1965 means that preclear­ance is no longer needed.” The court did not rule on Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act, the preclearance requirement itself, which requires those affected states to have changes to their voting laws cleared by the Justice Department or a federal court in Washington, D.C., before they go into effect. Rather, the court ruled that the current formula that determines which states are covered by Section 5 is unconstitutional, effectively eliminating Section 5 enforcement, at least for the time being. “In the Court’s view, the very success of §5 of the Voting Rights Act demands its dormancy,” Ginsburg wrote. She said in her bench statement that in renewing Section 5 in 2006, Congress “found that 40 years has not been a sufficient amount of time to eliminate the vestiges of discrimination following nearly 100 years of disregard for the 15th Amendment.” In summary, this means that changes in states’ voting laws no longer need review on the federal level. Which also means that if a state were to decide to make things harder for blacks and people of color to vote then there would no system in place to counter balance any foolery that might be afoot. We’re sure all the political talkin’ heads will be chirping about this issue all night. We suggest that you educate yourself on these laws and teach others how it will affect them.
