"Well as you all know it's the end of final jam,and every ones parents are here. Every ones true blood family is here, every ones,but mine. You see to understand what this next song is really about you need to understand my past. When I was two my biological mother walked out on me and a few months later my biological father died in a car crass. Exactly three months after my father died I was adopted by the Richards who are now the only family I have. And let me tell you they're the best family a girl like me could ever ask for. So twelve years later,I never went looking for my birth mother,why would I? She left me and I gained the best mom in the world. I don't normally write anything with a meaning particularly close to my heart,but in this case I'm making an exception for a person who is particularly close to my heart. So Loretta this ones for your. Consider it my way of saying thank you for putting up with me for all these years when you didn't have to. "I said with a laugh at the end into the microphone and walking around on stage as I finally confessed the shorter version of my lives story to these people. I then took a seat on the stool and put the microphone back up the stand. I picked up my guitar and leaned into the mic. "This ones called The Best Day"I said before I started to strum on the guitar I had in my hands.

"I'm five years old Its getting cold Ive got A big coat on I hear your laugh And look up smiling at you And run and run At the pumpkin patch The tractor rolls on The sky is gold I hug your legs and fall asleep The whole way home I don't know why all the trees change in the fall I know that you're not scared of anything at all Don't know if Snow Whites house is near or far away But I know that I had the best day With you today I'm thirteen now And don't know how my friends Could be so mean I come crying You hold me tight And grab the keys And you drive and drive Until we've found a town Far enough away And we talk and window-shop Until Ive forgotten all their names I don't know who I'm gonna talk to Now at school I know I'm laughing on the car ride home with you Don't know how long its gonna take to feel okay But I know I had the best day With you today I have an excellent father His strength is making me stronger God smiles on my little brother Inside and out Hes better than nothing I grew up in a pretty house And I had space to run And I had the best days with you There is a video I found from back when I was three You set up a paint set in the kitchen And you're talking to me Its the edge of princesses and pirate ships And the seven dwarfs Daddy's smart And you're the prettiest lady in the whole wide world Now I know why all the trees change in the fall And you were on my side Even when I was wrong And I love you for giving me your eyes Staying back and watching me shine And I didn't know if you knew So I'm taking this chance to say That I had the best day With you today"I sang playing the guitar and glancing at my foster mom every now and then during the song. The audience applauded and my foster mom had tears in her eyes,hopefully from being touched and not pained.

I had been through a lot this past summer to finally get here,everyone had. A lot of words had been tossed around and a lot of things had been done leading to new meaning,broken friendships,opened eyes,inspiration. All of that also lead us here,but to understand where here is you have to go back several weeks. To fully understand my story and the story of others involved in the story I'm telling. Or at least the one that lead me and the people who I came to call my friends here you have to go back to the beginning of summer,back to the beginning of Camp Rock.
