Amysaysyesplease Stories

In a perfect world . . . We'd get to hang out with Amy Poehler, watching dumb movies, listening to music, and swapping tales about our coworkers and difficult childhoods. Because in a perfect world, we'd all be friends with Amy-someone who seems so fun, is full of interesting stories, tells great jokes, and offers plenty of advice and wisdom (the useful kind, not the annoying kind you didn't ask for, anyway). Unfortunately, between her Golden Globe-winning role on Parks and Recreation, work as a producer and director, place as one of the most beloved SNL alumni and cofounder of the Upright Citizens' Brigade, involvement with the website Smart Girls at the Party, frequent turns as acting double for Meryl Streep, and her other gig as the mom of two young sons, she's not available for movie night. Luckily we have the next best thing: Yes Please, Amy's hilarious and candid book. A collection of stories, thoughts, ideas, lists, and haikus from the mind of one of our most beloved entertainers, Yes Please offers Amy's thoughts on everything from her "too safe" childhood outside of Boston to her early days in New York City, her ideas about Hollywood and "the biz," the demon that looks back at all of us in the mirror, and her joy at being told she has a "face for wigs." Yes Please is chock-full of words and wisdom to live by.

This is my entry for the #AmySaysYesPlease writing contest! Enjoy!!!!

My entry for Amy Poehler's saying "Yes!" writing contest! In which I describe a situation in middle school (and elementary school) that I still think about today...

I'm Amelia, I'm thirteen from Ontario. I hope you love my little story and I'd love to be chosen! If you can't tell by the username Amy is my all time hero and she means the world to me! Smart girls is also very inspiring to me!

Do you know what happens when you say 'yes' to a golden opportunity given to you? Do you know how does it feel like when you make a correct decision at the age of 14? If you don't, then this short story is the one you need to read right now. Listen to Amy Christer's story of life; how it changed by saying yes to the golden opportunity given to her and how she excelled from a failure, to a rising star.

This is some of me, but not the summary.

My entry for Amy Poehler's "Yes Please" writing contest. My Yes moment was when I first decided to try out acting at my summer camp, so I wrote about that experience and the places it brought me!

There are all sorts of things wrong with me. Major depressive disorder, anxiety, body dismorphic syndrome, bipolar disorder, the list goes on. I'm no freak, just Kailey Madison Zimmerman. An average teenage girl. Sure, I dress different, I deal with things that most people don't. But i'm still not much different. However, other kids at school don't agree. To them, I'm a freak. A slut, a psychotic weirdo. I try not to let it get to me. I can't help it though. You see, I have this dangerous coping skill, and addiction, if you will. Making myself bleed was the only way I could survive. But little did I know, that with the help of one boy, that will soon change drastically.
