Locks Of Love

   About four months ago I did Locks Of Love. In case you don't know what that is, it is where someone cuts their hair, and then someone else sends it to a donation center where they make free wigs for cancer patience. Well I was one of those people who cut their hair. I had VERRY long hair. In the end I cut off 11.5 inches of hair! Even though I miss my hair........ wait thats not true I  so don't miss that hair, but I miss long hair. Anyway, It was a great experience.
   At first, I just wanted to do Locks Of Love because I was going to cut it anyway, so might as well donate it for a good cause. Then my thought started to shift. My grandmas sister, who means a lot to me, and is such a good person,Lisa, was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. My thoughts changed a lot. Then I wanted to cut it in honor of Lisa. When I first saw my hair, I thought of Lisa. I had a good feeling inside me. I was proud of myself. 11.5 inches of hair. Wow            
                                                Love+ Happiness= A good life
