7th Topic FREE

So I have decided that I'm going to write about soccer. For many of you this is no surprise, but for those who don't know me it's going to be a learning experience. Many of you know the ligest of soccer but I'm going to give you the inside scoop......hahaha sike! I'm just going to explain it to you and how I play and what I do. Those of you who have heard this suck it up, your hearing it again. Soccer, at my level, is made up of 11 players. There are 3 main positions, defender, midfielder, and attacker/forward. I'm the left center defender on my select team and outside forward for Anderson. As a defender I have many important jobs. I'm the eyes and ears for my team. As I am also a captain I have to make sure that everything my coach says gets around to all the girls on the Field. Being in the back of the field also means that I have the best over all view of the Field and play. This is where being loud comes in handy, I have to shout to let my team know where pressure is and if they can turn, so one and so forth. Those of you who are lost right now I'm the big scary person people run into and I'm the one who can kick the ball really far! I have been playing since i was 3 so I have had my fare share of experiences in the game. Right now I'm on the Dallas Texans 95G Red team Premier, which is equivalent to the Lonestar Red if you know that better. There are 5 division in soccer, division 3, division 2, super 2, division 1 and premier. Division 3 is the lowest you can play at and premier is the elite/best. The Texans are the best club in the southwestern United States, the main location is in Dallas, hints the name. The team I am playing for is pretty good. We have been to state 5 years in a row, and win every time. We have played all around the country and nationally ranked. This is the jest of what I do and how I play but if you would like to know anything more just let me know!

The past 2 weeks have been ok. I still hate geometry with a passion because Mrs. Girardot is retarded and can't teach. But it's ok you can't always get what you want, so I'm just working through it. Our soccer season is over for know and basketball is in full swing. We have had 2 games and a tournament. Honestly I cant remember how we did in the games last week but we got 3rd in our tournament this weekend! The longhorns are beating Kansas so that's always good! My moms currently yelling at me to get off the computer so I have to go.

6th Topic Frida Kalo

Fria Kalo was a Latin American artist. She was of a Hispanic background. She was known for for self-portraits, which most of the time depicted her suffering as a child. She had polio and through out her life suffered chronic pain. Her paintings were known for her use of vibrant colors. All of her paintings where based on events of her life. When she was older she married another famous Latin American artist, Diego Rivera. I chose this picture to represent Latin America for many reasons. One of them is to represent the influence of Spain in Latin America. Although the Spanish weren't the only influence in Latin America, England and France were some of the other big influences, they have a huge cultural and ethnic presence throughout Latin America. Also this picture, despite the bright colors, depicts sadness. Through out all of Latin America there have been many conflicts and controversies. Also, its ironic, women didn't have alot of rights in Latin America. During specific time periods, certain women fought through their rights through art work. This was a major movement through out Latin America, which is significant.

The past 2 weeks of my life have been normal, for me. For most people who know me, my definition of normal is the farthest thing from. My schedule has been packed full of things to do and places to be. I'm happy to say that through it all I love doing all of it....minus geometry homework. To keep you up to date I had my last soccer game for the first round, and we won 3-0. This not only let us qualify to go premier in the spring but we are also seated #1 in our bracket for the second round of games! In diving this past week we had a meet I did really well, but i pulled my back and possibly re-opened some of the fractures in it. This could be a minor set back but I still be competing in my first AHS basketball game this Tuesday as a starter on the Freshman A team. In speech and debate we had another tournament, which I didn't officially compete in but I prepped and gave speeches all through out the week. As for all the other sports I do most of them are in off-season right now, and I'm still training for them. The good news is it's a 3 DAY WEEKEND!!!!! I actually don't have a soccer game this weekend, a miracle, because 2nd round games are getting scheduled.
