Usually people make negative comments about cheerleading because they know it gets under your skin, but some people truly believe cheerleading has zero athleticism behind it. So, what can you say to prove them wrong and in turn get a little respect? Remember the best argument is an educated one, so give them the facts This artical expains how you cant define a sport.. . “The truth is, there really isn’t a solid definition of “official” sport.” From this artical i can predict that people will understand more about why we consider cheerleading as a sport.Cheerleading is contact and we touch people just not with alot of pain.

Justice was served

June5

I want to talk about the incident that happened about a week or two ago. The young man a friend of mine and others by the name of Julian Dawkins was killed by an off duty cop in alexandria virginia on lynhaven. These past two weeks people have been standing out and making sure that justice will be served to the off duty cop. and last week on thurday they arrested the cop and charged him with murder. I am speaking on this because I am so happy that Justice has been served and that his family and friends will no longer have to worry about the guy who killed him. As a result to Dawkins murder his friends and family stood out where he was shot almost everyday until his funeral so that everybody knew that something needed to be done. I love how everyone had came together to make sure that this was something that the world could see.

I predict that Liberty And Ellis Island are both going to get new security. I believe that both of them are going to have top level security to any visitors who visit both islands. “But the NYPD and National Park service Have differences when it comes to ideas on how to protect visitors from terrorist attacks.” I predict that both islands will have their own personal ferries to transport visitors on and off the islands. In this article it says that they are going to be screening people at airports after visitors get on the plane. Most of all if your visiting one of these islands and dont fill safe, then they definitely will now with top flight security around.

This article talks and discuss a incident that occur on a cruise a ship to the Bahamas. From some of the evidence in this article , the fire could have occur because of the bad storm that was going on the night before. Passengers were being flowed back to Baltimore from Freeport. There were injuries from the incident, but they were minor injuries. The minor injuries that occured during the fire, included two people fainting, an ankle sprain, and a reported of high blood pressure. But most of “all  the passengers that were on the ship will receive refunds for this cruise and a certificate toward a future cruise with Royal Carribbean”.

I visualized that Koman Willis is extremely a crazy person. I wonder what push him over the edge to make him kill a 6 month year old baby. But it does not surprise me, because “Koman Willis is a gang memeber with at least 38 prior arrest.” I visualize that Jonylah father had a part to do with her being killed by Willis. What made Koman Willis want to kill a beautiful baby girl like Jonylah Watkins. Most of all she did not geta opportunity to experience life expected for the six months she lived before being killed.

The Yarn Spinner

On Wednesday in English we read about “The Yard Spinner”. The title means story teller  and the main passage was about James Beckwourth Life. He was a very brave man he fought in the second Seminole War and he also was a war chief for the Crow warriors. When Beckwourth died he dedicated his autobiography to Justice of the Peace Thomas Bonner. James Pierson Beckwourth was a very good man and he got recognition for his achievements during his lifetime.

It took Michael three hours on a Greyhound bus to get the Bowling Green, which was half way to Nashville.  Had his mom or dad driven him to Bowling Green, it would have only taken an hour.  The whole trip there, Michael kept wondering if his twenty five year old brother, Bobby, would be there to get him.  As the bus pulled into the station, Michael looked out the window to see if he saw his brother.  All of a sudden, he saw his brother driving up to the station in a new Oldsmobile 442.  Michael thought to himself, “I go a cool brother .  Look at those smooth wheels.  Bot what made him the coolest to me was just that he was there.  he had come through for me.”

Michael had asked his father and brother, Darrell, to help him start a racing career and they both said no.  He was now going to talk to his other brother, Bobby.  Bobby had recently moved from Owensboro to Tennessee to go to work for Darrell.  Darrell had started a race car parts business and asked Bobby to manage it for him.  Michael had a better relationship with Bobby then he did with Darrell.  Michael was around Bobby more and had even helped him do odd jobs and cut his grass.  Michael tried one more time, and picked up the phone and called Bobby.  “Can I drive your go-kart, Bobby, and see how I do?’  Bobby said, “Yeah, sure, bro”.  At first Michael didn’t think his brother had understood the question, so he repeated it and his brother still agreed.  Bobby told Michael that there was a race in Tennessee that weekend, and if he could get there, then he could race.  Michael was so excited.

Even though Michael didn’t know his older brother Darrell very well, he decided if his father wouldn’t help him, he was going to ask Darrell.  Darrell was much older and always traveling to the different race tracks, that Michael did not get to grow up at home with his brother.  Michael called Darrell and told him the whole story about how he wanted to be a race car driver and eventually drive stock cars in NASCAR.  Darrell told Michael “You’re wasting your time, Mickey.  You just don’t understand how much work it is”.  Darrell was wrong, Michael did know how hard it was and was not going to give up his dream.
