Life As an 8th grader!

Sometimes, cheerleading is cruel

This is ultimately the lesson all cheerleaders know, as we sweat, scream from the top of our lungs, and stand there looking cute in our uniforms.

Sometimes the stunts are really good, but someone can fall and get smacked in the face by the ground. Sometimes we mess up.And sometimes some of us are louder than others.

    Sometimes cheerleading is cruel.
    And always, when it is, we do the same thing. We try harder. We Make our jumps as perfect as possible, we use stiff motions, We put on a smile for everyone. And get all thoughts out of our heads and focus on cheerleading. This is the price of being a cheerleader. And almost every cheerleader is cocky. But not all.
    Sometimes cheerleading is cruel, and you have no choice but to accept the fact that you're going to be judged by everyone watching. And when it’s you being judged, you have to deal with it.
    But what if it’s always you being judged?
    Surely some people are going to get the wrong impression, they see a cheerleader being confident, immediately they think we’re cocky, but it’s nothing like that. Surely, we draw attention to ourselves, we walk around like we’re the stuff, but in reality we are some of the nicest people on planet earth.
    Bad enough, we are stereotyped. Bad enough we have to do everything we can to stay on the team and keep our grades up, have practice everyday after school and STILL have lots of homework. Bad enough that when people look at us they think we are all preppy and stuck up, yet at the end of the day, we are the ones that gets the crowd hype and help root the football/basketball team on so they can do good in the game.
    Sometimes though, it could be really fun to be a cheerleader. We are leaders of the school, we get lots of attention and more privileges. And the boys are just … you know! Despite all that people say about us I love being a cheerleader. It’s what I do for a living!

Some Sisterly Love ;\

   Throughout my years of living with my parents I’ve developed a “closeness” with my sister Porsche. We did everything together. We shopped together, we went out together, we got our nails and feet done together, we joked around together, we played games together, and much more together . Even though we are 6 years apart from each other. That didn’t seem to matter though. Porsche and I would get in alot of fights and arguments, but by the end of the day we’ll be fine again. We have the best sister relationship ever! Well... Until my other sister  Tammie came along to live with us. That’s when things start falling apart.

Even though I love both my sister’s so dearly I get jealous of the relationship they have. It seems as if Porsche has a better relationship with Tammie than she does with me!  Now they do everything together that me and Porsche always did. It seems as if Tammie is replacing me in some sort of way. She is getting more attention from Porsche than I am , maybe once in awhile Porsche will show me some attention but it’s nothing like before Tammie came. Sometimes it feels like I’m invisible to Porsche. For example: We would be in the car and porsche would be driving, Then she’ll ask what we would want to listen to and  usually i would say “put in rihanna” but Tammie would say something else, so Porsche would put the cd that  Tammie wants to listen to and ignore whatever I said that  I wanted to listen to.

    Ever since Tammie has been here, me and Porsche would get into more arguments  than usual. It’s like every single day we would argue, and I’m just tired of it. So now everytime we argue I just walk away because it’s probably over something stupid anyways. Maybe once in awhile I would lose it and start yelling, but that would be very rare if that happens. Me and Porsche’s relationship is breaking apart peice by peice, bit by bit, clump by clump … whatever you want to say, but either way I know I’m going to lose my sister in a matter of time.

    I honestly think if I tell Porsche that I don’t like the way she’s acting towards me that she would change the way she’s acting. Who am I kidding? She’ll probably just deny the fact that she’s acting different! Or she would probably just be stubborn about it and make unnecessary remarks. It’s a shame how much people change when they are around certain people. That is the number one thing that annoys me! So basically I’m annoyed everyday because of this one situation that has so many problems to it.

    Enough about Porsche though, We should move on to the real problem... Tammie. She thinks she know EVERYTHING! If you say something that she think is “wrong” she will correct you, and if you prove her wrong she will have a stupid look on her face! I love it when she has that stupid look on her face, it’s hilarious! We have our moments when one moment I love her and the next I can’t stand her. I know it sounds harsh but it’s the truth and sometimes the truth hurts. Another thing about her is that she is too lazy! She doesn’t do anything and her excuse is always “because I’m pregnant”. For example if she needs something from downstairs in the basement she ask me to get it and I tell her I’m not her maid so she can go get it herself ‘because she has two feet that works perfectly fine.  And she always says that lame excuse or “I can’t go down those stairs I might fall!” So me, being the person that I am I say oh well and walk away. Like I do to all of my problems.

So now you see what I go through, but it’s alright because I’m going to fix that before it gets to the point where I just can’t take it anymore.I’m going to tell both of them how I feel and not care one bit about what they are feeling or what they have to say about it.Things are about to change around my house! Well, hopefully...  

The hunger games review.(;

I went to see The Hunger Games for a 2nd time with my school, and once again I enjoyed watching it. It was almost like I imagined it while reading the book, but instead I thought there was a crowd watching in stands instead of on the Tv. The appearances are nothing like I imagined. Except Katniss’ She was exactly how I pictured her. Long brown hair, Beautiful colored eyes,and a pretty face. If I were to rate this movie it would be a 9. It was a good movie and i loved how they showed the rebellion of district 11 on the movie. It was very.....Interesting to watch! One thing that could’ve been better about the movie was the scenes they showed some, but not all.

Novel Response

In the novel I'm reading "Unwind" the plot is coming all together now. The characters have met each other and figured out they are all Unwinds. They are going to work together and try not to get caught by the juvenile police, because once they catch them they are practically dead for life.

Beautiful, You are

Beautiful, You are

You are like the plain blue crystal waters

Way out in the deep blue sea,

You are like the daisies in the spring time

Blooming beautifully than any other

You are beautiful in every single way

Words can’t bring you down

People will talk,

But you have to walk

In the beautiful path headed your way.

Wasted Tears , Poem

Wasted Tears

I take my tears back

I’ve cried so many times

You are not worth this wetness

On my eyes

I take back my hope

I wasted on you

I take back my heart

That you torn apart and threw

Away in the darkness

With my pain

No words

No songs

There is nothing you could say

That  can  heal this bleeding wound

That you have opened til this day

You wouldn’t care, but it’s okay

Because I'm taking back my tears

I’ve wasted on you , Today!

Moving.[;

      Moving to Kannaoplis was a big change for me. It was hard to leave CC. Griffin where I knew everyone. In 6th, 7th, and 8th grade! It was a big change because I have too get used to a new environment, new home, new people and a new school. Now that I've moved I have to start my popularity all over again!
       Although coming to Kannapolis was welcoming, I miss my old school very much. All my friends keep telling me how much they miss me, Well I appreciate it but it's not helping the situation at all.Its making me feel more school-sick. If I could say that.One good thing that comes out of moving to Kannapolis is making new friends. Another is that my room is a lot bigger than my old one. A bad thing about moving to Kannapolis is that I have to start a new school and I get very nervous when I'm the "new girl" and when I'm around people that I don't know.
       Every time I sit on my bed, I think of all the memories me and my friends had, It makes me hurt even more to know that I won't see them everyday like I used to. Sometimes I can't even put words to the way that I feel. I just feel that ever since I've moved I've been feeling a little stressed out (I know I'm to young to be feeling that way but unfortunately I do). I think the reason I feel this way is because it's been a lot of pressure put on me since we've moved. Moving away from my friends, The teachers that I liked, And most importantly that special someone that always kept a smile on my face. I have to admit It's not going to be the same without going to Griffin anymore.
        As I get through it though I know I'll feel better. I just have to keep in touch with my old friends so I won't miss them so much like I do now. Also I will need to get used to the people that is now placed around me, so i can be myself again. Once all of that happens there will be a new Talisha that no one at Kannapolis has ever experienced yet!
