UMES vs Hampton

I attened a volleyball game at Coppin university and what I didnt realize about college volleyball is that its very intense but they always kept smiling. In the second match the scored ended with 11 to 25 which showed that hampton didnt let the game get them down they still stayed positive and played hard and thats what inspires me to become a better volleyball player. After UMES got the win I but into the volleyball coach at coppin while leaving. Good think I was wearing my New Town Volley tshirt. We had a long talk and she wants me to come play for her yayyy. Also she wants me to play club so i start club ball in january.

I made the team!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I did awesomly at the official tryouts. Varsity tried  out in a group of five meaning that each one of us had to call out a cheer but I was ready. Then came the dance proportion. I was a little nervous but i got through it without any mistakes. The we went through motions and jumps and i came out scoring a 19/20 yayyyyyyyy. My mom said she knows im going to look cute in that skirt with my little twig legs lol. I can't wait until she gets her on tuesday sii she can see me in my uniform. To bad I can't receive it on Monday, my aunt decided to ruin my life once again and schedule a dentist appointment on that day.

3rd day of tryouts

So the day I was most excited for. After reviewing the motions and the cheer we learned the dance. At first I could not get that dance for nothing in the world. It took we the whole time to get the dance down packed ugh. Then when I got home I kept messing up and was afraid that I wasn't going to have down enough  to make the team but I didnt give up. I'm really nervous about the official tryout four people have to get cut becuase there can only be 20 people on the team and 2 alternates.

2nd day of tryouts

We were told that we were going to learned a dance but we actually ended up stunting. I never stunted be for so my awesome teacher amber ( my second favorite atlas member) taught me how to back spot. I was a little skeptical at first because, I've never back spotted anyone before but, after doing it repeatedly I became use to it.

surprise surprise lol

Surprise everyone, Bonita is trying out for cheerleading, although I really wanted to hoop. I can't play basketball becuase my aunt and coach got into it last year so she think she has something over her. Anyway, The first day of try outs was very easy. We went through all the motions, jumps, and learned cheers. Cheerleading is really simple, espeacially when you play a plethora of sports like I do. The thing is, with cheerleading, I used a group of muscles i haven't used in about 2 years.

Coppin camps tour

So I went on a campus tour at Coppin state. I knew the campus is small but once seeing it, it was bigger than i expected. The thing that really through me off was that it's in the inner city it doesnt feel that way, No one walks through the campus or anything like that. Once we got to the dorms and the tour guide Shannel told us that the doors were co ed meaning one room can be all girls and the room next door could be all boys, my aunt did not agree with that lol. All I could do was laugh. After th tour I meet with the dean of the nursing school, Mr. Best and he should me the facilites. So i think im really considering Coppin if, Penn State York doesnt work out

church time!!

today i went to church as i do every sunday but today I spent my time in the nursery. The nursery is for childern under four. They usually play for an hour eat a snack and continue their play time but today, we took them to the park i didnt even know we had behind our church.

Black college Expo

For starters i didnt know Expo was short for exposure smh. Today was a really good day for me. I was accepted in both Coppin State Unversity and FSU. I was really excited knowing that I wasnt going to be a bum. I say this because I didn't feel like i was going to have any money to put towards apps for colleges because nobody at home wants to help besides my mom and she has her own financial problems to take care of. I received tons of helpful  information and was so happy that I came prepared. I was offered to join SGA at FSU because of my take charge attitude lol.. I'm actually going on a campus visit at Coppin State on Monday at 10. Im looking forward to this vist since I've been accepted. Now I really have to pay attention and ask lost of questions.

slowly getting better

Every since I faild the first 4 quizes and test in AP bio I've been meeting with Mr. covert once a week to go over what we went over in class. I feel like its helping alot. He's not only helping me to understand the material to pass the test bur he's also making me realize alot about myself that I never knew. Like whenn i find something challanging I'll shy away from it when deep down inside I actually do understand and know what I'm doing.  Also he help me realize that i doubt myself. He thinks that i can pass the AP bio exam but me on the other hand, I wasnt even thinking about taking the AP test. Yes i have been really mean to Mr. Covert but out of all my teacher besides Dona he has been awesome to me and has grown on me a little bit lol 

A fustrating afternoon

Lately I've been having trouble grasping the concepts needed to solve college algebra based questions so i decided to meet with Mr. Daniels so that we can discuss the problems given to us for homework. Unfortunatley he couldnt stay very long. So i start walking home from school remembering my aunt to me she didnt have the car.  Walking from New Town to Kings Park Estates is a very long walk. So once I got close to home I was very tired and aggrivated. Once I get down the street leading to my house I notice the car sitting infront if the house and i almost turned into the devil himself. I called my mom immediately to blow off some stem (she always has the power to calm me down). What I dont understand is why are you pissing me off on purpose im not the same person from last year im not going to fight with you smh.

lazy and tired

I find myself getting lazy and more lazy as the school year continues to go by. its getting harder and harder to incorporate these blogs into my daily routine because i find myself off schedule. One thing i have realized is, when I'm involed with sports I keep myself on a schedule and i think thats what im going to have to do. Doing sports keeps me motivated and focus and once the volleyball season ended the load became unbalanced causing my grades to slip and slide around.

Making a change


The National Mulitiple Sclerosis Society finally sent me m package so tht I can get the messsage out about mulitple sclerosis. I decided to volunteer to get the message about MS because I never hear people talking about it. I dont think its becuase they dont care but, mainly because they dont know and this is why Im handing out information about it to all th staff at New Town. I hope I can rely on them to help me spread the word about MS because it very important.

T.G.I.M


So once again we watch one of those motvation videos about TGIM but in reality I will never be happy on a Monday. The one thing I dont undrstand is why do you have t repeat yourself 12 times to get your point acrosswe heard you the first two times you said it sheesh. I know he only gave 3 poweful points but, I recived four.  

Easy Like Sunday Morning.


I love it when sunday comes. Its always synbolizes the completion of another stressful week and also sybolizes that I'm another week closer to becoming a high school graduate. My church is a place where i can let all my fustrations go which usually is wrapped round my aunt and how she handles situations. My aunt is not the easist person to live or get along with and this is why I am so glad that I cango tochurch and just pray to God that He keeps me on the right track so that I can remain graceful and civilized. Sometimes she just makes me want to bring the old me out but, I refuse to bring that devil child back.

An unhappy saturday


Instead of going to the home coming game like I planned my aunt Tanya decided to be an unstabled creature (think of the movie Baby Boy) and made me go to my Youth S.T.R.I.V.E meeting instead. Youth S.T.R.I.V.E is a ministry at my church that helps educate high school junoirs and seniors through speakers who provide lesson plans and speeches to help prepare for college. This week we encountered a lesson on politics from a professor form Johns Hopkins. I really am politically stupid in which most young people are put after hearing his lecture I definitely understand th importance of politics.

BREAK TIME!!!!!!


So on our dy off I decided to spend some time wth thomas. Everybody is pressuring us and telling us th we should go out but what everybody doesnt understand isthatme and thomas hve a connect that doesnt need to be push into a relationship. Its like we're more than friends but we aren't at that stage of  relationship. Although I love that picture he has on his blog of us, and we look really cute together, we aren't going any further than what we are. To be honest I dont know what we are lol.

PEP RALLY!!!!!

The pep rally was really great and I enjoyed myself. It was much better than last years. Better music, dancing, cheering, and just the attitude of the pep rally was just amazing. It makes me feel proud to call myself asenoir and as I looked from section to section of the 9th, 10th, and 11th grades It made me realize the jounrney I went through to reach my senior year. This is why I took so much pride in makng my shirt for our senior blackout we were suppose to have but not to many people went along with it.

the under cover bonita




Today I stayed after school with dona and she made me realize alot about myself. I looked at myself as something special. I know I've been through alot but I dont like to showcase it because I dont want people to feel bad and pitty me. I want people to based my impression on them from what they experience being around me. Dona made  me feel like it was okay to have issues such having a learning disorder or coming from an unusal background. She says you have to own it, well I've been hiding it this whole time. I know alot of people think dona makes us do things just to do them but in reality, dona can teach us a plethira of great things. I love that dona makes herself availible to us whenever we need her and she makes sure she brings out the best in her AVID scholars =)
