Cheerleading

Author’s note: Cheerleading is not a simple sport, there are a lot of techniques you must have. Focused, stiff and prepared, for what may happen next.

You may think that cheerleading is not a sport, maybe not for a football game cheering for your team. When you are going into the big leagues, that is when cheer is a sport. Flying around in all different stunts, such as elevators, extensions, basket tosses, there are so many different ways to use the smallest girls on the cheer team, you tell me that isn't a sport.

 Competitions are just a thrill to be in and to be at. Personally I have never been in a competition yet, But I cannot wait till I am in one. For being in a competition you have to work your best and be stiff as a rock. From what I have heard that the judges are very strict; for instants falling is just one of the worst points you can possibly go down in, or losing your smile.

When you are cheerleading you must have great collaboration, be loud and just work as a team. It is not the football or basketball kind of team, it is a team that you have to listen to each other and help others. We are all connected in cheer, such as if the back is not stronger enough then the bases are getting weak, were they are losing their balance, and when the bases  cannot hold up anymore then the stunt cannot be successful .

Flying is the hard part, you’re up so high in the air you just cannot look down. Strong legs is a nice thing to have and being able to hold yourself up is once again another. You really cannot think about a lot just look straight ahead and you will stay standing, well most likely.

Some simple rules and techniques in cheerleading. Football one thing, competition is another.  Maybe this might make you think differently, or you may not. Stunting, the most difficult part. Cheering, you just need to remember every word and action in the cheer.  Cheer may not be a sport but we will have competitions and rivals. 

Brown hair Witing Circles

Author's note: Every time you have a stupid moment people ask are you a blonde but then your a brown.

“Oh Mama, what color is the water?” I ask sweetly

“The water is blue” she said annoyingly were it made me just walk away. After that moment I went to my sister and asked her,

“Why can’t blind people see?” I asked very stupidly

“They can’t see because they are blind, now go away!” she said in a stern and angry face. Then I went up to my dad and asked him,

“Why is the earth round?” tilting my head and thinking

“God put it that way.” He just rolled his eyes and just walked away. I got to school the next day and when up to Tiffany, but she said to me,

“I lost my phone” with a panic,

“Were is it though” I asked with a blank face.

“O my gosh you are such a dumb blond,” and started to cracking up. So then I ran straight to the bathroom and looked in the mirror, but I am a brown?

Childhood Memory Writing Circle

Author’s note- You can always make your childhood better because you still are young so make it happen.

Your childhood is an important part of your life, if you were one of those crazy kids who can’t just sit still or one of the quiet kids that just love sitting inside asking your parents questions. Well i was one of those kids that were very obnoxious and none stop running. My favorite childhood memory was just trying to sell anything that i could find just to earn money. One time my sister and my bestfriend pluse me, we did a dancing show in my garage. We got about five different shows that went on, but only seven new people showed up, they only had to pay 50 cents for each person. I had a blast that day.

All your friends so happy that you have arrived to great America, and then there is you scared to death, thinking what will you do you aren't just going to sit there and do nothing and watch your friends have fun.

Going up and up, everything so small coming slower. I’m at the top yes, what is going to happen next I can’t see over anyone's shoulder, in the middle being short you can never see anything coming. and down we go herein the fear coming out of my mouth. I did it I made it through my first roller coaster!

Friends are the ones you can tell a secrets and they are there for you.  when you have a broken heart or just you are down on that day. It doesn't matter  where you are in life what you do or how much you have.Your best friend is always there for you.

Technology Writing Circles

Author's note- From the beginning of time to the year 2012 we have come so far in technology maybe even too far.

“Mom just five more minutes” Sarah said

“No you have to get ready for your sisters band concert” Mom said

“fine but i will just say goodbye to Rebecca” Sarah said typing and giggling. this is what the typical parent gets when kids are on the computer like Facebook or twitter. Is this what are world is going to be like “Five more minutes” are generation can be lazy but we need to back away from the technology, and stand up to be who we are not what is in front of use.

Dreams Writing Circels

Facing The Edge 

Author's note- Dreams can always mean something.

Black and white all over, alone and quite. There was footsteps louder and louder, the rattle of keys frightened me. A low voice told me to come into the darkness, “SWOOSH” there was a bright light shining in my face but the room was different, there were a million people all over where I couldn't even move,  its like being in New York on New Years.  All of a sudden I was facing the end of the earth, “Watch out” yelled a man and then something hit me and i fell off the edge screaming no help then “BOOM”. That was when I hit the floor, like I mean literally I fell off my bed right before I went splat in my dream.

The Sideways Place

Author’s Note: The story “Draw the Dark”, by Ilsa J. Bick, where a Seventeen-year-old, Christian, Cage lives with his uncle in Winter, Wisconsin, where his nightmares, visions, and strange paintings draw him into a mystery. Have you ever lived your life without your mom and dad right there to take you any where you want and give you money to hang out with friends.

The story Draw the Dark is somewhat of a horror story. With the things that are unknown, like the great wolves at night, with their eyes glowing gold and strange. Draw the Dark is also a mystery, the main character Christian believes that is where his parents have gone. He is left alone then his Uncle Hank is the only family member that is left. how would you feel having nothing to know about your ansesters just being the last one that can maybe tie down to were your parents have both dissaper.

Draw the Dark resemblance of the show called Ghost Whisperer, it is about this one girl, Linda, has the ability to see and speak to the dead. She tried to help people that lost loved ones and the ghosts come to her for help so they could cross over to the light. Christian uses his dreams to help him find out what happened to his parents. Him hearing the ghost speaking too him, he can't understand a word they say. He just needs to take time and pay attention to them.

Between the past and the present. He ties all of his nightmares together. That nightmare of the barn, were he seen someone get murder but not knowing what that meant. Also the sideways place (were Christian thinks he will find his parents). He is trying to draw this nightmare to remember the details and to put his many nightmares together to many but an ending to his life mystery. If he could answer his questions, he would be able to go back to his “normal life” and not have to worry about having a nightmare that he has to find why he is having it.

Having to be able to understand what his dreams meant to the big picture shows that, not only does he have to be artistic, he has to relate his fiction dream to the real world. Witch everyone gets nightmares, were they try to get the story of why you had that nightmare. Christian the odd ball, which you would just assume his life was just him being a quiet 17 year old that just has nothing to do but trouble. People don’t know his life story. So they just accused him and didn’t give him a chance to explain, about the graffiti on the barn, saying I SEE YOU in bold red dripping paint. waking up and seeing his new shoes smell like the wet grass. what would you think if you saw that.

The world could be just like this, people are around might not just have the things you have. A loving home, family to buy you gifts. If you lost a loved one or they have just dissaperd, what are you going to do? I don't think you would just sit there and think of what they were thinking at that point.I hope you would at least try to find them.

This story was a history with some history for winter, Wisconsin. Were Christian and his old friend named Sarah. The story was just a fascinating story you just can’t stop reading. With the action of running every were, stress of being pressured , fear of hearing things seeing things, not being able to find where your parents have gone. You could feel it all. It was a book you don’t want to pass by.

The house alone

Authors’ Note: This story is from the book called “There will Come Soft Rains” by Ray Bradbury about a point of view of an empty house. The only house standing after a nuclear blast.

It was August 4, 2026 in Allendale, California. There was a family of four and they all have passed away only there shadows remain. In this short story, written by Ray Bradbury, only the house remains cooking their meals, and cleaning. In the end, there was a fire. When reading this story, it made me think about how real this can be. How our future could be like this, with our houses doing everything for us.

In the morning the house clock announces that its time to wake up. Doing the usual everyday stuff like it is programmed to do. It is amazing how this house is so smart, that it can be programmed to do our everyday chores and make us food. It just shows how far technology can go, and that it truly keeps growing and growing by the year!

This short story really is an eye opener to all of us. On how much technology can take over our lives. And I think that if we are not careful we are not going to be able to see the world as we do now. We won’t want to go play outside or we won’t want to hang out with friends because we will have everything we need inside our houses. This makes me think of the movie “Wall-E” how in the future everything is gone other than some robots that have been forgotten.

Wishing that in the morning that the whole house is clean. All done without the family mad. This story it shows how are future could be like in 14 or 15 years.  However, the author had a great imagination of how he could imagine the house to be, and all the description.  It doesn’t matter how long the story was, it still had detail.  The detail of the time, and changing of the scenes.
