How To Be Singer

Dreaming of being a rich and famous chart topping singer? Imagining limos, screaming fans, and concerts? Well, it's not all fame and fortunue. Becoming a singer is hard work. Knowing how to be singer is only part of it. It requires ambition and LUCK. This step by step manual can help you achieve your dream.

Step 1
Learn how to be singer. This is the foundation of your career as a singer. While there are some performers making a career out of singing when they don't really sing all that well, it's those people who have their craft as singers and continually improve their form and ability who command the most respect as singers.

Step 2
Study singers whom you admire. How do they sing? How did they become professional singers? What kind of crowd do they cater too? What is their signature style? Don't totally copy them though, singers have to be unique!

Step 3
Begin taking voice lessons. Having a voice coach can really train your voice and, if you practice, you will notice marked vocal improvement within a few weeks. Voice training is important in strength and overall quality of your voice. You can also damage your voice if you aren't singing properly. Find which note your voice is most comfortable singing at and sing there a lot. Its also important to at least know the basics in playing an instrument, particularly the guitar or piano. Even if you cannot play it well, you must have some knowledge of notes and tuning. This will help you to evaluate your singing skills and provide instrumental accompaniment.

Step 4
Become comfortable as a performer. Get over your stage fright (if you have it) and start gaining some practical experience by singing wherever and whenever you get a chance to do so in front of a group of people (parties, school talent shows, etc.). Connect with your listeners. Most towns have talent shows and singing contests. Get started by learning as many songs as you can. Ask someone in the business or a teacher what types of songs you are best suited for. Sing out in the public every chance you can get.

How Me Get New Friends

Making new friends

Moving to a new town, changing your job or starting a new college can often leave you feeling lonely, and needing to make some new friends. Or maybe you're just stuck in a rut, and want to give your current social life a boost. Make this your plan of attack...

Suppress thy shyness gene

Force yourself to go up and say hello to strangers at parties, meetings and gatherings. If you're very shy, think of yourself as a 'successfully shy' person, because you can still make new friends. Making the first move takes the pressure off other people, and most of the time they will be relieved that someone else has set the ball rolling.

The remote control is not your friend

Chances are, you won't meet too many new people sitting home alone watching TV and moping. You really have to get out more, but fortunately you don't have to be out until late every night. Why not test the water by joining a group of some kind that meets once a week?

What makes you tick?

Friendships are often formed between people who have a common interest. Just be yourself, and find some like-minded others. If you're sports mad, join a local team for training or competitions. If you want to help others, why not try volunteering?

There are evening and weekend classes on just about any subject you can imagine, and even if you don't hit it off with anybody there, you'll still be picking up new skills, and will have something interesting to talk about. University students are generally spoiled for choice, and can join all sorts of clubs and societies at college.

Be interesting, not boring

Even if you're in a new town where you don't know a soul, keep up with your interests wherever you can. When you do finally meet some new people, you'll have something other than soap operas to talk about. It'll make conversations more interesting if you can talk about something current, such as the latest film or gig you went to.

Pack your social skills

Remember to smile, and try to look relaxed (even if you're nervous as hell) when meeting new folks. Introduce yourself early on in the conversation, and take an interest in the other person's answers. Ask open-ended questions that allow the chat to flow easily, rather than closed questions that are just going to be answered with a simple 'yes' or 'no'.

It's all in the follow-up

If you get on well with anyone, offer to swap email addresses or phone numbers, and keep in touch with them. As always, consider your personal safety with anyone you don't know very well, and don't rush into giving them your home address or similar details straight away. Don't just ditch your old friends either, drop them a line every now and again if you've moved away.

Patience is a virtue

You won't find a new best friend in one afternoon. It can take a while to get to know people, so just relax and take it easy.

That only i can get this information when i see movies...I know how when people just finish their school n they need find new life so i give new information...If so right to u all

How To Be U So Lucky

I give some opinion u all...okay

*Have you come across someone who you think has all the luck in the world? Things just seem to fall onto his lap without making even a fraction of an effort that you put in?
*The realistic, hardworking kind somehow don’t quite like lucky people. They will tell you a dozen negative points about this topic in less than a minute…or maybe a little more.
*The truth is, these ‘lucky’ folks don’t really have a fairy godmother watching over them. They simply have found the trick to getting lucky,with or without realizing it.


Follow up:
Luck is not dependent on what your horoscope says for the day or if you woke up on the right side of the bed. Luck is when you know you will get exactly what you want, no matter what.
For instance, what would you go after right now if you knew you would get it? Leave the how,why and when thoughts in some dark spot and focus on the answer. Think as big as you can. What would you really like to have in life right now?
How will you feel if you get it now? Will you feel lucky? Well, let me assure you that if you really believe in it; you WILL and not just MIGHT get lucky! Its as simple as that.
How can you really believe in something and make it appear? Sounds impractical? Well, that sets the winners apart from the losers. Whose side would you rather be on?
If you were to take a sneak peek inside the mind of a ‘lucky’ person, you will find that he or she basically has a positive attitude towards life. This person may not have just happened to be at the right place at the right time but has known that it would happen anyway.
Your ‘lucky’ neighbor believed that he or she can win that lottery and not by just hoping or wishing. Wishing is different from believing. Luck is based on believe and not hope or wish. This is where most of us misunderstand the fact behind luck.
Luck does not happen out of the blue. It has been embedded in the person’s mind and he or she has been sending out a positive energy towards the element with or without actually realizing the outcome. The intense desire for something and belief in its manifestation will attract the element towards this person.
So if you really want something, no matter what it is, you will get it.
You have the power within you to want anything at any point of time in your life. You are in control of your luck. Luck comes from within you and not by chance.
The next time you want to try your luck at anything, approach it with this attitude and composure. You’ll soon find out how truly ‘lucky’ you are,afterall!

Fairy Tale Character Lucy Hearfilia

Lucy Heartfilia

Lucy Heartfilia is a Celestial Spirit mage and one of the main female protagonist of the series.
Introduction

She is one of the newer members of the Fairy Tail Guild and subsequently Team Natsu, joining at the start of the main storyline. Unlike her teammates, she is not incredibily powerful, however, their shenanigans have inadvertently led her to gain an elaborate reputation which she despises.
She currently doesn't have any official nickname. One of her spirits, Virgo usually calls her Princess (姫 Hime), which was also (by mistake) taken up by Coco. Because of the stories published in the Sorcerer Magazine, Bixlow nicknames Lucy Cosplay Queen (which she proves to him when she was wearing cheerleader clothes during their fight).
She came second in the "Miss Fairy Tail" contest, losing out to Erza.

Appearance
Lucy possesses brown eyes, blond hair that is usually tied by a varying colored ribbon in a singular bunch to the right side of her head and like most of the female characters, she also has large breasts. 

Her (presumed) measurements are Bust: 88cm; Waist: 59cm; Hip: 88cm (36in, 23in, 36in).[2] These measurements are approximated slightly different later on with breast being 2 less and the others 1 less cm.[3]
Lucy's member stamp is located on the back of her right hand and is pink.
Unlike almost all other characters, Lucy does not consistently wear the same type of clothes (Because her clothes either rip off or are destroyed in most of the story arcs). Her clothes practically change every single arc and can even change during one. However, she always has a belt that, along with keeping her skirt up, holds her Celestial Spirit keys and a whip with a love heart-shaped end.
Due to the extremely sexy underwear she wears, the rest of the team always gets shocked when they found it. (How and why they find it is because they look for her in the drawers, her laundry basket and her bathtub, along with every possible nook and cranny they deem appropriate).

More pictures in Bonus Gallery.

Personality
Lucy is one of the saner and more stable, if not the only one, member of Fairy Tail, having common sense that other members of the guild seem to lack. She consistently points out and laments over Natsu's and the others' idiocy. Lucy is also very confident in her appearance and sexiness, excluding a certain amount of vanity. Despite this superficial attitude, Lucy is passionate for literature and is in the process of writing her own novel about her adventures with Fairy Tail.She is a member of the Heartfilia family, one of the wealthiest and most influential conglomerate families in the country of Fiore. However, due to her estranged relationship with her father and the death of her mother, Layla Heartfilia, she left home to follow her own path.
Out of all the Celestial Spirit mages revealed so far, Lucy is the only one who treats her spirits kindly. She doesn't use them as shields, she fights alongside them, and treats the spirits as people while others treat them as tools and objects. She will also go to great lengths to give them happiness even if it costs her life. Even though she is technically the owner of her spirits, she denies being called that and instead calls herself their friend.
It should also be noted that she was the only other person who had ever shut Natsu Dragneel and Gray Fullbuster up without beating them. Natsu and Gray have seemed a little scared of her when she's under the weather, even if Lucy's magic is not as strong as theirs and can't force them into submission like Erza Scarlet. Lucy is also quite athletic.
Her dream is to write and publish a book about all the adventures she's experienced in Fairy Tail.

Relationships

Fairy Tail Guild
Since her relationship with her father is very complicated, Lucy sees Fairy Tail as her family. She is usually annoyed by the insanity of its members, but she loves its warm atmosphere and looks up to many of its mages.

Natsu Dragneel
Natsu is the person who brought Lucy to Fairy Tail. In fact, Lucy refuses to go on a mission if Natsu is not there to accompany her. She is annoyed by Natsu's destructive and impulsive nature and his tendency to break into her house, but is amused by his childishness she cares for him very much. They are very close friends, the extremity of being shown in the Phantom Lord Arc. When Lucy was captured, she was desperate to escape from Jose. She then jumped off the sky prison when Natsu was there, knowing that he was there and that he would catch her. Natsu also saved Lucy when she got captured and beaten by Gajeel.

Happy
Happy teases Lucy most of the time and she is annoyed by this. However, it has been shown that Happy cares for Lucy deeply.

Gray Fullbuster
Lucy and Gray are very good friends and care for each other. Lucy is usually annoyed by Gray's stripping habit. And sometimes the tendency breaking into her house without his clothes which Lucy scold him about it. He is also an Ice mage. Lucy seems to show for the most part a platonic friendship with Gray. However ever since Juvia became aware that they were of the same team, she insists that Lucy is after Gray and sees her as a rival (since Juvia has a large crush on Gray).

Erza Scarlet
Lucy admires Erza's strength and beauty. She really considers her as a role model and cares for her as a true friend.

Mr. Heartfilia
They have a complicated relationship due to him caring more about his business than paying attention to his daughter, which resulted in Lucy running away from home. According to Lucy, her dad never cared for her. After a year, her father put in a request at the Phantom Lord Guild for them to find Lucy and bring her back. This sparked a war between Fairy Tail and Phantom Lord. After the war ended, Lucy visted her father to supposedly apologize to him for running away. In reality, she wanted to cut ties with him for the pain and suffering he caused to Fairy Tail and tells him that if he ever comes near Fairy Tail again, she and the guild would consider him an enemy. Recently, after her father loses his fortune she reunite with him one more time when he ask her for money she told him she dosn't have any of it which made him feel rejected and throw tantrum which led Lucy to yell at him and tell him to go away later when Lucy tried to rescue her father after knowing that the marchent guild that he trying to work for.After Lucy defeat the the dark guild she realize that her father wasn't their yet cause he had to walk from Magnolia to Acalypha when she met him and realize that she was worry he thank her but Lucy told him she haven't forgive yet. After her father told Lucy how he met her mother in the same marchent guild Love and Lucky and reveal that the name Lucy came from the guild because of the missing k. Afterwards Lucy and her father leaves on good terms.

Early Concept
The earliest concept of Lucy, not much different from the original idea. Lucy used the cards instead of keys, but because this idea has already been repeatedly used, Mashima abandoned it.
Early Lucy also had two pony-tails instead of one bunch, and wore a more retro clothes, with with jabot, frills and lace.

History
Lucy was originally born into the extremely wealthy Heartfilia family. Her father and mother were originally part of a merchants' guild called 'Love & Lucky' where they two met and decided to become independent when Lucy's mother, Layla, became pregnant. They chose her name when they noticed that the sign for the guild had the letter K missing so that it read 'Love & Lucy'; it made an impression on them so they decided to name their daughter after it. In her home, Lucy kept a good relation with the staff in the estate and presumably her mother until she passed away when Lucy was around the age of ten on July 07, X777; the same day that the dragons looking after Natsu, Wendy and Gajeel Redfox disappeared. However, her father was overly obsessed with his business and money, often neglecting his daughter, resulting her to run away from home just over a year before the beginning of the story.

Fighting Festival arc

When they return to the guild they find its reconstruction complete and Cana Alberona shows them around. Makarov startles them with the introduction of two new members: Juvia and Gajeel, their previous enemies. After settling down, they sit down for a a song from Mirajane; this calm state doesn't last long as the two Dragon Slayers soon cause a large brawl.
Though Lucy supposes to become a sponsor for the interview in the weekly sorcerer magazine for Fairy Tail, the reporter pretty much ignoring Lucy throughout the whole time as he was constantly running around in excitement asking different guild member questions. Not giving up, Lucy decides to dress as a bunny girl and go onto the stage, hoping to gain attention only to fail as Gajeel appears next to her, surprises everybody with his singing performance. He even threatened Lucy with a stare to force her to dance as he sing.
A few days later, Lucy is desperately looking for jobs to pay the rent and she asks Natsu and Happy to help her out. Much to her dismay, Natsu is feeling too sick and goes home to rest and result in Lucy grabbing his scarf and she falls to the ground. Admit in defeat, Lucy goes home. On the way home, she realizes she still has Natsu's scarf and wants to wash it for him. After she goes home and finishes her works, she decides to go to sleep, only to gets a large fright when she finds Natsu and Happy sleep in her bed. Happy explains that Natsu's sickly feelings have happened before after he ate Laxus Dreyar's lightning. He goes on to explain about the strongest members in the guild, the strongest probably being Gildarts, and then gives Lucy a flyer about the Magnolia Harvest and the Miss Fairy Tail competition that is being run alongside it which would solve all her money problem.
During the contest, Lucy and the other women (including Erza) were turned into stone by Evergreen, one of the Raijinshuu (bodyguards of Laxus Dreyar)
Later she was de-petrified along with the others thanks to Erza and she was able to take part in their battle and went outside the barrier that Fried Justine made. She encountered Bixlow (the other Raijinshuu member who defeated Gray) and was attacked by Bixlow's puppets, and lost her keys thanks to that. They were about to finish her off with his Baryon Formation when Loke summons himself to save her and to fulfill his promise to her. With their unity, they were able to defeat Bixlow. They quickly gain the upper hand in the battle, but Bixlow reveals his second ability, the Figure Eyes which Bixlow uses to turn his opponents into dolls and control them. Not being able to use their eyes to fight, they become defenseless and are rapidly attacked by Bixlow's dolls. But in the end, through their unity and trust, they manage to defeat Bixlow, which shocked Gajeel as he does not see her as a particularly strong mage. After the battle, Lucy collapses from exhaustion and Loke returns her keys to her stating that he will always be there for her, and he also jokingly remarks that it was the power of their love.
Near the end of the arc though Warren's spells to inform the recovering Fairy Tail members of what's happening, Lucy and the rest of Fairy Tail destroy Laxus's Hall of Thunder spell and save the town.
During the Fantasia parade, Lucy preforms on a floats together with Cana Alberona, Levi, and Bisca.

 

This is what Lucy said, when she has a interview with Sorcerer Magazine reporter:
  • What is the best quality of Fairy Tail?
  • It has a lot of powerful mages
  • What is your future dream?
  • I want to become novel writer.
  • With whom do you have the best relationship?
  • With Natsu and Levy.
  • What was the most difficult job you have ever taken?
  • All of the jobs I took. I wish that there are some jobs that are easier to handle.


Trivia

  • There are several running gags in the series that are distinct to Lucy
    • Nearly every time Lucy goes to her apartment, one or more of her teammates is there. Natsu even slept in her bed once.
    • Lucy often balances on a strip of brick right near the river, with a nearby boatman telling her to be careful. She also almost slipped into the water once, after losing her balance, in the anime, on the night before the Miss Fairy Tail Contest.
    • Nearly, every time when Lucy attempts to seduce someone she fails humorously to which Natsu calls her useless.
    • Her clothes rip off or change in most of the story arcs.
    • Lucy's rent is always an issue. She always complains about it, and it is a problem which her teammates seem to have gotten a habit of collectively trying to solve, suggesting jobs to her, or helping her out, etc. They also sometimes discuss how to make the rent every month, even when she isn't around.
    • Her quote when summoning spirit before performing contract is "I am linked to the path to the world of celestial spirits, now! O spirit, answer my call and pass through the gate"



  • Currently, Lucy is the second most popular girl in the series.



  • She is the only shown celestial mage to not think of her spirits as 'tools'



  • Lucy is one of the representatives of Fairy Tail in the game Sunday VS Magazine: Shuuketsu! Choujou Daikessen!, the other being Natsu.



  • Cana and Levy stated that Lucy reminded them of Lisanna because she looks like her, she's good friends with Natsu and her ability to stand Natsu was similar to the latter.



  • Her secondary Weapon is a Whip with a 'Heart' at the end, most probably a reference to her name; Heartfilia.



  • According to Byro, Lucy' Celestial Spirit magic can possibly have the same fundamentals as Anima.



  • During the Oracion Seis Arc, she was seen wearing a belt with "HK" (Hearts Kreuz) on it, much like Elie of Hiro Mashima's Rave Master.



  • In the manga Lucy changed clothes during the Phantom Lord arc after she got captured, in the anime she wore the same clothes.



  • Mirajane somehow has a spare copy of Lucy's house key, and often lend it to Natsu and others so that they enter Lucy's house.



  • In a Sorcerer Interview




  • Lastly....

    Fairy Tale Animax

    Wendy Marvell is a young female Dragon Slayer mage, formerly belonging to the Cait Shelter Guild. After the events surrounding Nirvana unfold, she officially joins the Fairy Tail Guild. She learned her Dragon Slayer abilities from Grandine.
    History
    Wendy was raised by the dragon Grandine for some time. However, one day Grandine suddenly disappeared and left Wendy alone at around the age of five. Same time later she ran into Mystogan, who called himself Jellal. Mystogan allowed her to travel with him for a month, although they were both hopelessly lost anyway. One day, she heard Mystogan utter something known as "Anima" and deemed it too dangerous for Wendy to travel with him further. He left her in the care of a close guild, Cait Shelter, where she has been ever since.

    Appearance
    Wendy is a cute little girl with long, dark blue hair and brown eyes. Like all the Dragon Slayers, her canine teeth are a bit longer than other people. She generally wears loose fitting dresses and sandals with wing designs possibly to denote that she is the sky dragon slayer.

    Personality
    Wendy has a very shy and polite personality. She is always seen with her cat Charle, they have a very good relationship much like Happy and Natsu Dragneel. She is very eager to try and make friends. Wendy also cares greatly for the guild members, and even suggested going to where the Exceed were to try and get them to evacuate.
    Wendy has a habit of saying that she will try to be of any help whenever she can.

    Synopsis
    Tower of Heaven arc
    She is first mentioned in a conversation between the dragons Igneel and Grandine in which the latter says a more "friendly relationship" could be established the next time she and Natsu Dragneel meet.

    Oración Seis arc
    Wendy is Cait Shelter's delegate sent to the alliance meeting of the Fairy Tail, Lamia Scale Guild, and Blue Pegasus Guild along with the cat mage Charle; much to the shock of all there due to the fact that she is only a child. She tells the delegates there that although she has no particular combat prowess she is able in support magic. Soon the alliance sets off to find Oración Seis after being briefed about them and quickly find their target (or moreover they find them after the Blue Pegasus' airship is destroyed). Wendy quickly hides herself behind a rock and stays there for the duration of the battle as she watches the others get trounced by the Oración Seis. Just as the Oracion Seis's leader Brain is about to finish them off he spots Wendy and halts his attack, suddenly shaken at the sight of her. Wendy and Happy (who was grabbed by mistake) are then kidnapped by Brain seconds later. Charle states that Wendy is the Dragon Slayer of the Sky and she can heal Erza Scarlet who had been poisoned by Cobra. Later, Brain reveals her unique ability of healing to the others and has Racer bring a large coffin to her. Brain plans to use her healing magic to heal whatever was inside of that coffin but Wendy refused to help anyone that is "bad". The person in the coffinturned out to be no other than Jellal Fernandes, who knows the location of Nirvana but is in his unconscious state. Believing Jellal to be Mystogan and hearing his crimes, she has internal conflicts of her and other people's perspective on Jellal as being good or evil, she receives five minutes to decide. Natsu arrives at the scene with Charle only a moment too late as Jellal is revived. Wendy collapses not too soon by exhaustion from healing him.Using Jellal's escape, Natsu takes the unconscious Wendy along with Charle to heal Erza. They are intercepted by Racer, who is held off by Gray Fullbuster.
    Eventually Natsu rendezvous with Lucy Heartfilia and Hibiki Laytis. Natsu wakes Wendy up then begs her to save Erza. She gladly agrees and does so though still a little remorseful in reviving Jellal. She, along with everyone else, suddenly notice a pillar of light erupt from the ground and instantly realize Nirvana has been activated. After Nirvana was activated she is knocked out by Hibiki in order to prevent her from becoming evil (she blamed herself for resurrecting Jellal Fernandes) due to Nirvana's influence.
    Hibiki carries her as Lucy, Charle, Happy and he follows Natsu and Erza who are heading for Nirvana. However their stopped by Angel who attacks them, Hibiki is wounded and Lucy orders Charle to take Wendy away for fear of her getting recaptured. It is later shown that Wendy and Charle hide themselves for the time being, while Lucy faces of agaisnt Angel. Wendy having regain consciousness though still feeling remorse for not being more useful. As Charle and she talk, Wendy reveals her acquaintance with Jellal and the rumors she heard about his Siegrain half. She however still believes Jellal is the kind young man she once knew (it was actually Mystogan). When Nirvana's second stage is activated, she and Charle are caught in when its legs appear from out of the ground. Charle carries away, and Wendy says they should head for Nirvana. As they land to take a rest, Wendy realizes that Nirvana might be heading toward Cait Shelter. With this, she goes to find Natsu and she cures him of poison and she uses a spell to temporarily cure his motion sickness.
    Wendy still believes that its her fault that Nirvana got activated and thinks that Jellal might know something on how to stop it. So she tells the others that she has some clue and ran off. Both Wendy and Charle are looking for Jellal while reassuring herself of Nirvana's destination to Cait Shelter, but Charle is too exhausted to fly, so they continue on foot. Wendy and Charle are then seen rushing towards Erza and Jellal looking relieved while Zero is introduced as Brain's second persona, and easily defeats Natsu, Gray and Lucy. Zero activates the Nirvana and when it seems like all was lost for Cait Shelter, the rest of the allied mages manage to temporarily stop Cait Shelter from being destroyed. With that, Hibiki reveals a way to destroy the Nirvana that would require 6 mages that could perform destructive magic. They would need to destroy the Lacrima Crystals located in each leg of the Nirvana, and ultimately putting an end to everything. Natsu, Gray and Lucy rises up once again in order to save Cait Shelter. Along with Erza, Jellal, and Ichiya Wanderlei Kotobuki they total the 6 mages that would be needed.
    Determined to destroy the lacrima crystals in each leg, Jellal asks Wendy if she could heal Natsu at any point in time during Natsu's fight with Zero. Wendy cannot use her power so excessively so Jellal secretly goes to where Natsu and Zero are fighting to give Natsu the Flame of Rebuke.Because of this, Wendy goes in Jellal's place.All 6 mages manage to destroy the crystals and finally become victorious in stopping the Nirvana from destroying Cait Shelter and the rest of the world. As she finds both Natsu and Jellal safe (thanks to Hoteye), she rushes over to hug Natsu and thanks him for keeping his promise to protect her guild from Nirvana. Unfortunately the celebration doesn't last long as the new Magic Council shows up taking both Hoteye and Jellal away, while Natsu and Wendy can only protest at Rahal's cruelty.
    Later after the group rest and recover, Wendy and the other girls start to dress up in Nirvit clothing and bonding. Roubaul then personally thanks the Light Team for stopping Nirvana to which Natsu and the Trimens try to celebrate with a party. However Cait Shelter doesn't join in and Roubaul reveals a shocking truth: Cait Shelter is not real. Horrified, Wendy tries to stop Roubaul's spirit from disappearing, but to no avail as her "Cait Shelter" mark disappears. Erza however comforts her and tells her to come with her to Fairy Tail.
    On the boat ride to Fairy Tail, she uses Troia again on Natsu so he can enjoy the breeze. But she told him the effects wear off quickly and that repeated continued usage would weaken the effect. Upon arriving at Fairy Tail, she quickly becomes popular since she is cute and a dragon slayer. The guild quickly welcome her and throw her a welcome party for her and Charle.

    20 Ways for Teenagers

    20 Ways for Teenagers to Help Other People by Volunteering

    Have you ever thought about volunteering your time to a local charity or community organization? There are many different reasons for you to start volunteering
    • To help others
    • To learn about an activity or organization that interests you
    • To beat boredom (if you find yourself sitting around the house feeling totally bored, volunteering in an activity you enjoy can be a great way to change things)
    • To overcome a loss you have experienced (one of the best ways to help yourself in a time of loss is to help others)
    • To gain perspective on life (there is no better way to understand your blessings than to help people in need)
    Your reasons for volunteering are as individual as you are, but no matter what your reasons you can get a lot out of volunteering. You can learn about yourself, learn about others and meet a lot of interesting people by volunteering. You can help others as you help yourself.
     
    For more information on volunteering in general and the advantages of volunteering, see this site.
    One of the hardest parts of volunteering can be finding a volunteering opportunity that fits your personality. The following list will give you lots of different ideas and will show you many different possibilities. Look in your local area until you find a volunteer position that works for you.

    1. Homeless Shelters
        If you live in a city of any size, then there is at least one homeless shelter that helps homeless people with meals, beds and other services. Most homeless shelters welcome volunteers and have a variety of programs through which you can get involved. You might help prepare or distribute meals, work behind the scenes in the business office, help organize a food drive to stock the pantry, etc. You can learn more about the problem of homelessness and ways you can help by looking at this site. Look in the phone book for a local homeless shelter if you are interested.
    2. Food Banks
        Food banks often work with homeless shelters, but they also serve poor people living in the community (especially around the holidays). Food banks collect food, manage their inventory and distribute food to those in need. The following link shows you the different volunteer opportunities available at food banks around the country: Any food bank will offer similar opportunities in your area. Look in the phone book for a local food bank if you are interested.
    3. The Guideposts Sweater Project
        If you would like something to do in your spare time at home, one innovative way to volunteer is to get involved in The Guideposts Sweater Project, sponsored by Guideposts magazine. People around the country knit sweaters that are then sent to needy children around the world. This article gives you a description of the project and a pattern for the sweaters. Don't know how to knit? Not a problem, because the article also links to sites that teach you how!
    4. Ronald McDonald House
        There are Ronald McDonald Houses around the country - almost every major city has one. The idea behind all Ronald McDonald Houses is very important. When a child is seriously ill, the child is frequently treated for long periods of time at a hospital or university medical center. Many families have to travel long distances to get to the hospital, and "where to stay" becomes a problem. Staying at a hotel becomes extremely expensive, and a hotel can be a lonely and sterile place. Ronald McDonald Houses provide a low-cost "home-away-from-home" for parents and children to stay during treatment. Volunteers help prepare meals, talk to families, take care of the house and so on. The programs offered at the Dallas Ronald McDonald House are typical, and you can read about volunteer opportunities there. Then call the Ronald McDonald House in your area to find out more.
    5. Special Olympics
        As described on the web site for Special Olympics International, "Special Olympics is an international program of year-round sports training and athletic competition for children and adults with mental retardation." The site also describes a wide variety of volunteer activities, including sports training, fund raising, administrative help, competition planning and staffing, etc. Look in the phone book for a local office or search the Special Olympics Web Site for more information.
    6. Habitat for Humanities
        Habitat for Humanities builds and gives houses to poor people in local communities. Volunteers not only help others, but can learn a great deal about building houses by getting involved. See the Habitat for Humanities web site for more information. Call the national office or your local office for information about volunteer programs in your area.
    7. State Parks
        Many state parks offer volunteer programs, and in these programs you can try anything from educational programs to trail construction and maintenance. This site for the North Carolina State Park system shows some of the possibilities available. Contact a state park near you and see what options are available if you are interested.
    8. City Programs
        Most large cities offer a wide range of volunteer opportunities. Look in the phone book and call around to see what might be available where you live. [Do not be discouraged if your first few calls seem to hit a brick wall. Many city governments are large and fairly disorganized. Keep calling around until you find someone who understands what you are talking about and who is willing to help.]
    9. Helping Others Learn to Read
        When you think about it, reading is one of the most important skills an adult can have. Many adults, however, have never learned how to read. Literacy volunteers act as tutors who help illiterate children and adults learn this important skill. There is probably a literacy program in your area. See also Reading Is Fundamental (RIF).
    10. Hospitals
        Many hospitals have volunteer programs to help patients both inside and outside the hospital. This page for the Summit Medical Center is typical. The volunteers programs allow participants to explore medical careers and gain work experience. Contact local hospitals to learn more about opportunities in your area.
    11. Libraries
        Many libraries need help reshelving books, running children's programs, making books available to the community, and so on. This program specifically for teens at Phoenix Public Libraries trains teen volunteers to assist library staff and the public during the Summer Reading Program. Contact a local library for volunteer opportunities in your area.
    12. Senior Citizens Centers
        Many senior citizen centers offer volunteer programs to provide friendship and community activities to senior citizens. If you would like working with senior citizens, call a senior citizen center in your neighborhood and see what kinds of volunteer programs they have available.
    13. Animal Shelters
        Many animal shelters are non-profit or government organizations, and therefore they welcome volunteers to help take care of animals, keep facilities clean and work with the public. Call a local animal shelter for more information.
    14. United Way
        The United Way is a nationwide umbrella organization for thousands of charitable organizations. The United Way raises billions of dollars and distributes it to these charities. There are local United way affiliates across the country and they need volunteers. Contact your local affiliate for more information.
    15. Red Cross
        The American Red Cross helps people in emergencies - whether it's half a million disaster victims or one sick child who needs blood. Volunteer opportunities exist across the country. Contact your local Red Cross for more information.
    16. Salvation Army
        The Salvation Army provides social services, rehabilitation centers, disaster services, worship opportunities, character building activities for all ages and character building groups and activities for all ages. Volunteer opportunities exist across the country.
    17. Environmental Organizations
        The Sierra Club (and numerous other environmental groups) encourages volunteer support to help with environmental activities. You can help in many ways: by helping lobby on conservation issues, by leading hikes and other activities, or by lending a hand at the Chapter Office. Contact the local office of an environmental organization near you. See also the Earth Day site.
    18. Political Campaigns
        If it's an election year, there are thousands of opportunities to volunteer in political campaigns around the country. You can learn more than you imagine by helping a candidate win election. This article talks about some of the options. Pick a candidate whose ideas you believe in (either on the local, state or national level) and volunteer to be a part of his or her campaign.
    19. 800 Number Volunteer
        Many 800 help-lines rely on volunteers to staff the phones and handle other tasks. If there is an 800 phone bank in your area, you may be able to volunteer to help out.
    20. Web site creation
        Many small charities and organizations do not yet have web sites. You can help by learning how to create a web site and volunteering your services. You could also raise money to pay for the web site, or seek help from a local company in the form of a donation. When creating a web site for a charity, you will want to take care to listen very carefully to the people who work for the charity to understand exactly what they want their web site to look and feel like. This will be extremely important to them, and you should be willing to change and improve the site to match their mental image. See this page for information on creating web sites.

    Mirajane

    Mirajane
    Mirajane is the cover girl and one of the S-Class mages of the Fairy Tail Guild.

    Personality
    When Mirajane was an S-Class mage, she was known as "The Demon" (魔人 Majin), and dressed in a punk Gothic style and was rather temperamental and bad-mouthed everyone, especially Erza, whom she had quite a rivalry with from when they were kids. After Natsu came to the guild, she made it a point to try and keep her siblings away from 'Erza's Group'. However, due to a past incident involving the "death" of her younger sister, Lisanna, Mirajane somehow lost much of her magical ability and her will to fight. Given the recent event of Elfman regaining his lost abilities and Mirajane's increased confidence, Mirajane recently regained her powers.
    Mirajane plays a motherly role within the guild, and is often seen running the bar at the guild hall. She has rarely been shown to be in a bad mood, and can tolerate almost any and all of the guild's eccentricities. However, there have been a couple events that have disturbed Mirajane, including her discovery of the stealing of an S-Class job by Natsu Dragneel, Happy and Lucy Heartfilia, and her later disappointment with Laxus Dreyar following the destruction of the guild building.
    Mirajane is also very determined to protect her comrades, going so far as changing her appearance in order to fool the Phantom Lord Guild into thinking she was Lucy, whom they were trying to capture. Along with running a bar, Mirajane shows great talent not only in modeling, but playing guitar and singing songs. She is much beloved- not only among the Fairy Tail members, but also among many outside of the guild.

    History

    When she was younger, she was actually very much like Natsu as he is now and she always fought Erza Scarlet similar to how Natsu fights Gray Fullbuster. She even intimidated many of the older members due to her punkish attitude and bullying tendencies. Despite teasing Natsu endlessly, she's always had a soft spot for him, finding him to be 'cute when he cries' and generally kept tabs on him in Erza's absence. As she grew older, her abilities increased tremendously - earning her the promotion to S-class easily and the fame of Fairy Tail's 'Demon' spread alongside Erza's. During a mission, with her younger siblings, Elfman and Lisanna, Lisanna was "killed" by Elfman, due to him losing control when he tried to take over "The Beast". It was this incident that changed her personality to the kind and motherly one seen nowadays as she works at the guild. She doesn't like to talk about it at all and all the other guild members respect her enough that in their Master's absence, she is the de facto leader and coordinates the day-to-day activities of the guild.

    SYNOPSIS

    Macao arc
    When Lucy enters Fairy Tail, a fight erupts. When Lucy asks Mirajane if she was suppose to stop it, Mirajane states that it happens all the time. When she is hit on the head by a bottle, she starts to bleed but is otherwise unfazed, stating that it's more fun like this, which completely shocks Lucy.
    Mirajane tells Lucy about Natsu's foster father, Igneel and how Natsu saw himself in Romeo Conbolt, Macao Conbolt's son, since Igneel never came back after he left. She tells her that all Fairy Tail mages are carrying wounds, pain and suffering, and whispers that she does as well, referring to Lisanna's supposed "death". When Lucy looks at her questioningly, wondering about what she meant, Mirajane smiles and says it's nothing. 

    Galuna Island arc
    Mirajane helps explain to Lucy about the S-Class mages and the Guild's rule of the second floor. Later, she is visibly upset when she finds that Happy stole a S-Class mission during the night. She soon learns that Laxus did nothing to stop him and she gives him a frightful glare that he hints as more befitting her former 'Demon' persona.

    Phantom Lord arc

    Mirajane helps Team Natsu down to the basement as she explains that Phantom Lord attacked the guild during the night. She then defends Lucy as Makarov starts to spank her for taking a S-Class mission (despite only giving Natsu and Gray and smack on the head). Since he was about to smack her on the butt with a perverted look on his face, Mira intervened before he could do so. Later, after Makarov loses his power, Mirajane and Cana Alberona try to call Mystogan and Laxus back to the guild for the war effort. However, as Laxus badmouths the guild and starts to harass her, Mirajane looses her patience with him and destroys the communication Lacrima, questioning aloud to why someone so cruel is in Fairy Tail. As Phantom Lord descends, she declares she can't battle and instead transforms into Lucy. However, she was captured and taken as a hostage. Since she was a hostage, this helped Elfman regain his lost magic Full Body Takeover and gave him the ability to defeat Elemental 4 member Sol. After defeating Sol, Elfman makes his way towards Mirajane freeing her and apologizing to her for taking the form that killed his sister again. However, Mirajane comforts him and figures out how to stop the Abyss Break. They later catch up to Gray who had just defeated Juvia and explain the details to him and then join up with Erza who just defeated Aria. Master Jose then arrives complementing them before taking Elfman and Gray out instantly and waking (and then retreating) when Master Makarov arrives. She is later seen celebrating the Guilds victory .

    Magic and Abilities
    Mirajane is one of the most powerful members of Fairy Tail; her magic is said to rival Erza's powers. After her sister's apparent death, she lost her will to fight. After the events of Satan's Descent, she finally regains her will to fight and with it her ability to use her powers whenever she wills it, but she did not return to her old attitude. She is also known for having enormous magic power.

    Transformation Magic (変身魔法 Henshin Mahō): Mirajane is very skilled at transformation magic. In the Phantom Guild arc, she was able to fool a S-rank mage even though her magical abilities were extremely lowered. She has also been seen to only transform separate parts of her body instead of her whole body and she also is able to transform her own clothing.

     

    Take Over (テイクオーバー Teiku Ōbā): Mirajane's magic that gave her the name "Demon". She uses a form of Take Over magic that gives her a possibility to change herself into a demon and take over it's power.
    • Satan Soul (サタンソウル Satan Sōru): In this form she has a large, devil wings, a tail and a demonic look, that increases her strength and speed dramatically. She has also been shown to create powerful beams and shoot them at her opponent with massive power. While in this state she mixes the element of Darkness with various elements. To date, she has used these attacks:
    • Flight: In this form, Mira has pair of demonic wings, which allows her to fly.
    • Darkness Stream: Shadowy hands appear from her seal and attack the opponent (Anime Only).
    • Demon Blast: A huge ball of dark energy (Anime Only).
    • Evil Spark: Mirajane channels electricity into her foe's body (Anime Only).
    • Evil Explosion: Surrounding herself in water, she unleashes a whirlpool at her opponent.
    • Soul Extinction: Starting out as a dark ball, this attack's true form is a large beam of energy.
