Author's Note: I am trying writing in a different style than I normally do. I chose a topic that I am passionate about which is sports, instead of just writing about my sports experience I wanted to write about something that some people probably have a issue . Plus I LOVE Ohio State.I wanted this piece to have a strong opinion and want other people to comment on this and tell me what you think about your thoughts on the idea of Wisconsin beating Ohio.
Overall the better team is Ohio. They were ranked number 1 coming into this game, Wisconsin was ranked in double digits. One bad game is all it took for Wisconsin to capitalized on the opportunity to take the lead. Wisconsin is not a bad team but they aren't good. Wisconsin fans were affable that day when they scored the last touchdown of the game, the touchdown that sealed the game - there was no way that they could win now. Wisconsin fans cheered and bragged to the Ohio fans; but the question is, should they have won?
I will say that Wisconsin had a good game, J.J. Watt was a star on the field sacking the Ohio State quarter back multiple times. The Ohio State quarterback Tyrell Pryor had a terrible game, he couldn't make up his mind on where to pass the ball and when he tried to run the ball he either got tackled or ran out of bounds. Ohio was cursed or something because they never play like this. They either just had a terrible game or came into the game thinking "Hey we are ranked number 1 we don't need to try." But the truth is that they did need to try. Wisconsin scored first and I think that this shocked not only Ohio state but the fans as well. Through out the game Ohio and Wisconsin both kept scoring but with Wisconsin keeping their impressive lead on this number one ranked team.
At one point in the game Ohio was not that far behind trailing behind by a couple points. I am sure that cacophony went through the stadium for both teams fans and for me as well. I thought that Hey, they could win here! All it would have took is one interception by Ohio and then run it in for a touchdown - but no, Wisconsin came through with another touchdown. This one touch down sealed the game.
Of course I happened to watching the game at a Wisconsin fans house with other former Wisconsin fans. I got many text messages and calls that night about how Ohio lost and Wisconsin won. Since Ohio lost, they got re-ranked to 11 while Wisconsin was 10. One bad game, one good game, is all it took for Ohio to loose and Wisconsin to capitalize on their mistakes. The following week Ohio State proved that it was just unlucky because they defeated a team a big time.
People still talk about this game and brag. They brag about Wisconsin defeating the best team in the league and ask if I am happy about the great win for our state and I being the contrarian that I am, I say no. All I can say to them is just wait until they play again.

Fantasy Land
What if??
--the clouds were made of cotton candy
--when snow fell it was really icecream
--mud was really chocolate pudding
--the world was really like this
What if??
--we had no problems in our lives
--we only had solutions
--you could never make mistakes
--you could only do the right thing
--our life was the way we wanted it to be
--not other people's way
--you had only had the right answers
--you would never be wrong
What if??
--life was so simple
--life was easy
--life would be a fantasy land
Life in a fantasy land would be...
--easy simple...
--a total fantasy land
"Life is simple, we make it complicated."~Unknown
Authors Note: One day I was hyper but in a tired way so I started rambling on and on about what if then something about the world then about something that would make it ten times easier and better. Later my friend Taylor had a quote on her laptop that said "Life is simple, we make it complicated."~Unknown I thought that this was inspiring so I decided to write a poem that related to the fact that life is really simple but through out the things we do we make it complicated, also the world wouldn't be that great if everything was a fantasy land so we should enjoy this world.

Author’s Note: Allison gave me this idea to write a poem when I was finished with the words I emailed it to my support group. The responded all cam back asking what was with the numbers I replied that it was the syllable count and that I would delete it after editing. Natalie offered an idea that the numbers should stand for seconds. I took that idea and created the 25 seconds, all of the numbers represent a time that this persons is going through horror.
25 Seconds
My legs feel weak and my head throbs 25
I see the end of the hall 24
My breathing picks up pace 23
Something waits for me 22
At the end of 21
The hallway 20
Waiting. 19
I tried to scream as I saw 18
What was waiting for me 17
The crazy white mist formed 16
A tall figure 15
That looked like 14
Him. 13
My long legs give out as I try 12
To get away from my big fear 11
I fall to the hard ground 10
And all I see is the 9
Face of my dead 8
Brother. 7
He has come back like he said 6
I close my eyes as I 5
Know that I never 4
Will open them 3
Again now 2
I am 1
Dead! 0

Open Mind
AUTHORS NOTE: I listening to a song that was talking about shooting stars and then I thought of one of my all time favorite quotes (Dream as if you'll live forever. Live as if you'll die today." James Dean) and transvered that into a poem. I think that most people dream about the future and should focus on making their dream come true and go out and do something with their life.
I---have a wish.
I---
have a dream.
I---
have a life.
Wish---
on a star
That---
soars at night
Dream---
about future
But---
don't get caught
In---
fantasy
And---
live your life
To---
potential.

Animal Farm Remix
AUTHORS NOTE: My group (Natalie, Erin, Allison, and I) decided to do a music video for our language arts creative project after we finished Animal Farm. We all adopted a song and came up with lyrics that went with the story from the book. Then we created outfits and choreography that would go with the music. We all hope you enjoy our Animal Farm Remix!
Lyrics---
Alejandro
I know that we are dumb
And I know that we are just animals
But I just can’t deal with them anymore,
HUMANS
Fresh Prince Theme
Now this is a story all about how,
Animalism got flipped upside down.
And I’d like to take a minute just sit right there,
I’ll tell you how Napoleon made Manor Farm unfair
In the old Manor Farm born and raised
Working hard for Jones is how they spent there days
Pulling those cart, working all day
Complaing bout Jones’s evil ways
When the fat old pig had an idea
Started talking ‘bout chasing those humans away
He told all the animals, they got happy,
They said lets get rid of these humans and be free to go wacky!
Get Silly
Jones didn’t feed ‘em,
Da cows got mad!
They started to attack,
Da other animals joined,
And they kicked them out with their bags!
Da Rebellion! X8
Da pigs took over
They did very well
No one missed Jones
And they all ate well
They worked in da fields
And they worked very hard
But Snowball had an idea
But Napoleon didn’t like
So there was a Brouhaha
And Napoleons dogs attacked
Snowball disappeared
Now everything will be bad!
Don't Stop Believing
just a small town farm
working hard for all their rights
the pigs ordered them to build
whi-hi-mildddd
they followed all the rules
do what the pigs tell them to do
even if it would
ki-hilllll themmmmm
suspicious changing the rules
but what else can they do
for they are all scared of what might happen in the night
Nothin’ on You
Beautiful pigs
All over the farm
I could be fighting but my life would be taken
But we got nothing on Napoleon
Nothing on Napoleon
They might say oink
I might say he-haw!
Walk on two legs and I walk on four
Cuz they are better than us
Soooooo much better than us!
Shots
Get worked done!
If u arent hungry cows and horses
Get ready to get fed up!
Lets do it!
Oink oink!
Napolean
You know it squealer
All of the animals
Moo neigh quack
When I walk in the barn all eyes on me
I make em’ work till they fall
Nothing is free
I make him write
All kinds of rules
Cuz we love to walk
On only to legs
Work x16
ANIMALLLS!

New Outlook on Life
AUTHORS NOTE: This is a piece I wrote based on my experience when I was in church one day. I saw this little girl who I didn't even know and somehow she managed to change my life.
I see this girl, who can barely hold her head up. Who can’t speak much at all even though she is eight years old. Tears well up in my eyes as her family struggles to take her up to the altar at church to receive her 1st Communion. This is a girl who has struggled with autism her whole life and keeps pushing forward, and this makes me think of how lucky I really am.
1 million to 1.5 million people in America today have autism, I personally don’t know anyone with this horrific disease, but if over 1 million people have it I am bound to run into someone who does have autism and sure enough I did. My sister had her 1st Communion on May 1st, 2010 this was supposed to be one of the happiest days ever for my family but for me it was a sad and defiantly eye opening event. For the 1st Communion I had reserved seats in the church which happened to be right across from a child who has autism. This girl was eight years old and was receiving her first communion today. I watched as the mother and father struggled to get this girl in her wheel chair and push her up to the altar, but when she couldn’t eat the bread I thought to myself that family struggles with their child everyday and they can’t complain but they still keep fighting when they could’ve given up already. Then I thought, I complain daily on many non important things when I really should be treasuring these things and be thankful for what I have.
This family has inspired me to keep moving forward and be thankful for what I have. I don’t even know them but seeing them keep fighting has really touched me. Many people probably go up to them daily and say how sorry they are and that they know what they are going through but truly they don’t know. I can’t picture if I were to be autistic or if my family and friends were. Autism is a terrible disease that people can’t escape from, each day they just dream of being a normal family, but then they wake up.
Be thankful for everything you have, and never live down any moment. My life changed on May 1st, 2010 when I realized that people have it worse than me and that I should be the last one complaining. Every day I think of that family and treasure every minute of my life.
