A.L Brown Cheerleading Meeting.

 "We have over 150 girls trying out for this year 2012-2013 A.L Brown cheerleading team, and i already see such intellegence in this gym. Remember, times change, traditions remain" Mrs. Newell said as we all sit in a gym pact with other girls who are determined to get on the team as well.

I ( Lexus ) am actually one of them.

I'm finally here, the moment I've been waiting for all of my life. Literally! Since i was little I've dreamed of a friday night game, thousands of fans in the stands, and me as a cheerleader, cheering to help motivate my team.

People think of cheerleaders as girls with long legs, long hair and eyelashes. But deffinitely not, a cheerleader is a leader of the school, someone who will lead the school in motivation. <--- Just wanted yall to know that. But as girls came in the gym, stares go across the way, people smiled,sneered their noses, laughed, whispered in others ears. Typical girl drama. already people are asking or telling if that girl over here or there is going to make the team by either the way she dressed, or by the way she walked in. My mother , who was sitting above me, whispered in my ear and said  "Thats why you always have to look at yourself, girls talking about the way people are appearing in the gym like they know them, you want something, act and dress like you do". Yes ma'am i replied to her.

The coaches talked on how things aren't going to be like middle school cheerleading. Each teacher has each of your class and encore classes email addresses, and if the need information on our behavior or grades, its just a click away. I prayed and i asked god, remember the day i got a attitude with that teacher over something stupid? yeah i apologize about that, it wasn't called for. My mother bumped me and said "don't play with the lord like that." Around the end of the meeting, the told all of us that camps are starting in the summer right after tryouts and you'll need to have everything ready by then, A.L Brown awaits you ladies. I was freakisly scared because im finally here, against 150 girls. I believe my heart has enough courage to make this team as a rising freshman. Keeping god on my side will help me lead the way to a victory.

And the rest is still unwritten...

Movie Review On The Hunger Games.

This week, our language arts teacher took us to go see the big box office movie hit The Hunger Games. We as a class read the book back in the fall of the start of my 8th grade year and we have talked on the subject ever since. As the movie started, you would think that it was like a concentration camp setting, wires, wrecked sheds that were made for houses, people covered in dirt or run down clothes and the soldiers from the other district was the nazi's. Anyway, the story started off showing how Katniss , her sister Prim and mother live knowing that the reaping is coming up very soon. Prim is frightend with nightmares dreaming she is going to be the first one picked, but Katniss didn't pay any mind because it was Prim's first year. The reaping comes and every child in the city is lined up in order and the call shouts Primrose Everdeen, not thinking the dream would actually become reality, Katniss instead took her sisters place and became the district 12 first volunteer & brave one to take on this accomplishment.

 Everyone in the theatre was very concentrated on what was going to happen next, the movie really showed how courages these people were. The acting in the movie was perfect. You could tell that they put heart into the storyline. Example wise ; Rue and Katniss. Rue was a district 7 and she became friends with Katniss, but not knowing that Katniss would only have a few days with her, she finds Rue tied in a net from a another district and was killed by a bow and arrow. Katniss looked as if she looked to Rue as Prim, and seeing her gone made her heart drop so she had to win this game for her sister and Rue. The movie deserves a perfect 10 in my eyes. There was happy scenes, love scenes, sad scenes and some you had to look closely to understand. I would tell anyone to check out this movie because it will have you thinking on different parts of the story and once you get the scene, you would want to watch it again to put all the puzzle peices together.

Hunger Games is a HIT!!!!!
