Reese Smith - September Blog Gymnastics Life

                             Gymnastics Life

By: Reese Smith 

Hi! My name is Reese Smith and I'm been a competitive gymnast for almost 9 years now. Gymnastics has been my life for a very long time. I'm a part of the USAG gymnastics level which is known as Artistic Gymnastics. Gymnastics has really shaped me into who I am by being a multi-tasker, independent, and positive-minded. I love gymnastics so much because if the school wasn't the best that day I just go there and let loose to do the sport I love. More about the sport there are levels 1-10. And I just did level 8 this past year and I'm working to get to level 9 for this competition season. My favorite event is uneven bars even though my best is the balance beam. Even though it is a demanding sport and demanding hours every week I could never see myself doing another sport that demanding because I can't picture myself loving another sport the way I love gymnastics. Yes, gymnastics has its moment of bloody rips on my hands, beam burns on thighs from wiping out on beam, having bad ankle and wrist sprains, and or being told you can't do the sport for a little bit because you've broken a bone. But, even though I've been through all of those scenarios I could really never picture my life without it right now. But, on the flip side, there are moments where you get that gold medal at competitions, your teammates motivating you, and getting that new skill. Those moments out-shine and out-do the bad moment because that is what makes the sport so great. And that is my life with gymnastics in it.

A Dream SMP Cosplay - Chloe Brawer

You've probably heard of the Dream SMP. And if you haven't, well, let me give you the long story short. The Dream SMP (or DSMP for short) is a Minecraft roleplay series with fans all over the world tuning into the content creators' livestreams on Twitch. Using their own imaginations and Minecraft's resources, members have built and destroyed countries, held elections and banquets, fought wars, and developed amazing character / story arcs. Contrary to popular opinion, YouTuber Dream actually didn't name the roleplay. The name comes from fellow YouTuber and Twitch streamer TommyInnit's video titled "Tommy's First Dream SMP Stream EVER." SMP is short for Survival Multiplayer--a type of Minecraft world. Tommy used Dream's name to gather more views, as Dream is extremely well-known within the Minecraft YouTuber community. When fans talk about this specific roleplay, they use "c!" when referring to the character and "cc!" when dis...

                                        Please keep in mind I am NOT  talking about every girl who dresses this way. I understand not everyone dresses this way for the reasons listed.

Thank you!                                             Insecure, When you think of that word who do you see. Yourself? A friend? A family member? Who I see are some of the inappropriately dressed girls in our school. Shocked? Everyday I walk down the hallway and see these girls. They curse and pretend to be something there not. They put themselves on display hoping ...
