This is it!!! This is my first blog about Hayley Orrantia! Well to get started, I guess I better let you know who she is, and what she does. Hayley is 17 years old, and she is in the girl group "Lakoda Rayne" that was formed on the television show The X-Factor USA. She also acts, and has been in a few movies (which is pretty amazing!!!). In my eyes, Hayley is the best singer on planet Earth :) ......not lying!

You are probably wondering why I am making a blog about Hayley in the first place...well, she's my role model. I'm 14 years old, and I love to sing. I never have really had the guts to sing infront of anyone except my parents, until Hayley came along. I saw her in the group "Lakoda Rayne" on The X-Factor USA, and I thought to myself, 'If Hayley can get up there and sing for all those people, so can I!" . So I auditioned for my school play (which is extremely hard to make being the 5th top arts school in the province), and I made it. I was 1 or 2 grade 9 girls who made it!! And it's all because of Hayley, she inspires me so much to follow my dreams, and to just go for it!

I sometimes tweet Hayley on her twitter (@hayleyorrantia). So far, I've gotten 11 responses from Hayley through tweets, RT's etc. Everytime she does something like that, my heart skips a beat and I freak out.....it NEVER get's old!!! I love reading Hayley's tweets, and I love her! I love Lakoda Rayne, but there's something about Hayley that separates her from the other girls (not just her brown hair!) that really make's her my role model. I don't really think she know's how big of a fan I am. I know she know's I'm a fan.......but I'm more than that! I copy her just like a little sister copy's their big sister. :)

Now, time to talk about my new years resolution for 2012. You're all probably wondering WHY I'm about to blog about my NYR when this is a Hayley Orrantia blog. Well, this resolution is about Hayley...

This year, I want to be able to save up enough of my money to fly to Texas to meet Hayley. It's going to be extremely hard to save up enough money for flying there from where I live (Toronto), but it will be worth it. Plane tickets cost about $1000 . To stay in a decent hotel for a week, that's another $2000 . Plus spending money for meals, and shopping, another $1000. This adds up to a toal of $4000 to try and meet Hayley....and I may not even find her in Texas! Right now, I have $267.86 saved up to meet her. THEREFORE, I STILL NEED LIKE A BILLION BUCKS. :( Being 14 years old, I can't get a job yet, which makes the money saving process even harder. But hopefully I can save up enought money before the summer by working for my parents around the house, and babysitting jobs.


That's it for my first EVER Hayley Orrantia blog, hope you enjoyed reading!! :)
