Innnocent People, just look into the eyes.

Have you ever felt as if you had to act a certain way, just to influence someone who looked up to you? Since I am looked up to either at school, at home, or even when I’m cheering at the football games, someone is always looking up to me. Whether it is for guidance, advice, or just in need of a positive influence, they are watching my every move. At my first football game, a little girl had been watching me cheer the whole first half. She shyly approached me at halftime to tell me that I had been doing a great job. She said “You guys are really good, I don’t know how you do all of those hard stunts.” It made me feel good because she noticed my hard work. I felt good to have known I had an impact on someone that wanted to be just like me, because I had shown her hard work, and a positive outlook on what she can accomplish if she just sets her mind to something.

My passion involves children and it is because I absolutely love little children, because they are our future. I try to be a positive role model at all times to children younger than me, because they idolize us. Most children look up to people older than them for guidance. It is important that we give them the right advice, and speak with a positive attitude. I want to continue being a great influence on them when I get older. I see myself when I do get older being someone really involved with the children of our society, like a teacher.

Teachers have huge responsibilities, to help these children grow up to be strong leaders. I want to help them to achieve their goals, learn, help, and guide them through their mistakes so they can grow up and be the best person they could possibly be. It all lies in the hands of today’s children. They inspire me so much, that’s why I want to be part of their growing lives. Their minds are like clay, just waiting to be molded. It is our responsibility to mold them into powerful people. This is why children are a very powerful aspect in our society. Even though they may be young and vulnerable, they have dreams, and goals like any other person. It is a teachers’ duty to help them attain those goals. They have the biggest impact on their young lives. We all know, believe it or not today’s children are indeed tomorrow’s leaders.  We have to make sure they are raised properly so we can help them build our future and so they can also start their own. If one thing in life is to make a difference, then I want to make a difference in a young person’s life. It is determination and goal setting that will create a good future and make a difference in our world. We will show children how and they can attain their goals, and make their dreams become a reality so they can grow up to be strong, dynamic leaders. That is my goal and passion in life…to help others, especially children.

As a child growing up I have seen my father make bad choices resulting in losing his job, family and friends.  I am also currently writing to my friend who is now in George Jr., a placement for juvenile kids.  Both of these men where important in my life and they both went down the wrong path and ruined their relationship with both their family and friends.  I have seen people do unintelligent things and now they are paying for it.  I strive to inform people to live their life because who wants to waste their days looking out cell bars?           

I am currently a member of the varsity cheerleading squad at our school.  This is my first year and I already see a change in my school work and actions.  I woke up every other day during the summer at 6 to practice, went to a competition at Kennywood, go to all the school football games and host pep rallies for our school.  I also met a brilliant group of girls this year that I would describe as my sisters.  A lot of people assume cheerleading isn’t a sport, and makes fun of cheerleaders and gives them a bad reputation.  If I would have believed all of the bad things people say I probably wouldn’t have tried out. Instead I kept an open mind and wanted to try something new.  I have accomplished so many good things now.  Now I am living life.  Cheerleading fills up my agenda and I love it.            

My friends also mean a lot to me. I will never allow myself to watch them go down the wrong road.  I know we have all made bad choices, but we are all there for each other.   We are always out doing something together, for example movies, sleepovers, skating or just walking around town.  I love my friends so much and keep my life exiting.           

 I have also done many hobbies in my life.  Since I was little I have been a dancer.  Dancing has always been apart of me.  I have danced jazz, hip hop, tap and ballet.   I also rode horses for a long part of my life.  It was the best thing I have ever done and wish I still could.  I played soccer, cheered, took karate, draw, paint, did musicals and owned endless passes to the swimming pool.           

Life is everybody’s passion.  A question that pops up a lot in pageant or surveys “What would you do if you found out you were dying?”  You get these answers like “I would go sky diving” or “take a vacation”.  Well everybody is dying, so live that way now.  Instead of doing awful stuff like drinking or doing drugs, stuff that can destroy you, go outside and take pleasure in nature.  The world in a beautiful place, enjoy it.              

Most children get involved in sports at a young age. I strongly encourage
this because I believe that they teach many hidden lessons that can apply to
life even after sports. Also, sports can teach us how to remain humble, handle a ‘loss’, or most importantly, to work as a team. It is also important to remember where you came from. It is also crucial to understand that not everything will always work in your favor. And when each person contributes, the end result is much more rewarding. When a special bond is formed between teammates, a team becomes a whole. Joining a sports team helps a person to understand these concepts. Also, many professional athletes have a positive influence on our society. More specifically, Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins. This professional hockey team is involved in various charities and organizations to help better our community.  I feel this is a very important role of any professional sports team. One of those organizations is the “Make a Wish” foundation. The penguins reserve tickets to various games for the children of this program and their families. In addition to giving away tickets, Sidney Crosby visited Karine, an avid Penguins fan from his native country, of Canada, to make her greatest wish come true. They also participate in another charity event, “Project Bundle Up”, which helps to clothe underprivileged children in time for the winter months.

Besides off of the court, ice, or field, sports can teach us a lot during the game. By simply observing a sport in the process, so many different emotions can be evoked. Immense frustration overwhelms you when the time on the clock starts slipping away and your team is falling behind. Inversely, your team winning the game in overtime, or even breaking a personal record is an absolute amazing feeling. For example, on February 10, 2007, Jordan Staal recorded a hat-trick becoming the youngest player in NHL history to do so. Fans around the world beamed with excitement cheering on the cardiac kids, also known as the Pittsburgh Penguins, who took the NHL by storm. The sports world has so much to offer. Personally, I have already learned a great amount from playing sports and watching my favorite sports team, obviously the penguins. I urge you to dig deeper: to pick up a new sport or even to leave ESPN on the television next time you’re flipping through the channels. You just might learn a few lessons.
