Cheerleading Q & A
Hi guys! Today I will be answering questions that I get asked frequently about cheerleading! I hope that you enjoy and find this helpful!
Q: Can you do the splits, and do you have to be able to do the splits to be a cheerleader?
A: Yes! I worked very hard to get my splits, and the work pays off! Splits as a requirement depends on the coach. I strongly recommend stretching your splits and just seeing how far you can go down before you try out. My coach doesn't require them, but strongly encourages them.
Q: What is your stunting position?
A: Mainly backspot and occasionally flyer.
Q: Do you have to have good grades to cheer?
A: Yes. At my school, all athletes have to pass a grade check. If anyone has two D's or an F in any class, they are put on academic probation. The consequences get worse if you continue to have grade issues. My coach always reminds us that academics come first, and cheer second.
Q: Do you have to be able to do a cartwheel?
A: No, but it's a good thing to be able to do one. Get your cartwheel, and then nail your round-off! You can have other girls teach you how or you can watch a video! On YouTube, there are channels dedicated just to cheer, created by other cheerleaders!
Q: What are the benefits of being a cheerleader?
A: There are so many!
Q: Can you do the splits, and do you have to be able to do the splits to be a cheerleader?
A: Yes! I worked very hard to get my splits, and the work pays off! Splits as a requirement depends on the coach. I strongly recommend stretching your splits and just seeing how far you can go down before you try out. My coach doesn't require them, but strongly encourages them.

Q: What are the benefits of being a cheerleader?
A: There are so many!
- Maintaining or enhancing your current physical condition
- Making new friends and bonding with your teammates (my team is like family)
- Being the "face of the school"
- Being able to attend different sporting events and learn the basics of how they work
- Performing in front of a crowd at games, pep assemblies, etc.
- At my school, the administration occasionally has cheerleaders help out at functions such as Open House at the beginning of the year. You can earn service hours for organizations such as Honors Society or fulfill requirements for a class
- Meeting athletes who play the sports that you cheer for
- Having something to do after school multiple days a week
The list goes on and on!

Everything You Need To Know About My New Top Secret, But Not So Secret Anymore, Project
STOP.
IF YOU HAVEN'T WATCHED THE TEASER TRAILER, CLICK HERE TO GET LINKED TO THE POST THAT IT IS ON. http://maddogontheblog.blogspot.com/2013/11/the-teaser.html
YOU CAN NOT LAY YOUR EYES ON ANY MORE OF THIS POST UNTIL YOU WATCH IT.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the sake of being organized, I'm going to write this in a Q & A format. The questions will be in bold and the answers will just be regular.
When will the first video be up?
Hopefully sometime this month. If not, it will be up in the first week or so of December
Where will the videos be? Like, will they be on the blog or on YouTube or what?
I am planning on having them on the blog. A few days ago I was able to open my video files on my computer and I think I can put them in to blog posts. As for right now, I will NOT have anything on YouTube.
Are any videos going to be on YouTube?
As of RIGHT NOW, I DO NOT HAVE A YOUTUBE CHANNEL. If any of my videos are showing up on YouTube, please let me know so I can do something about that. If I did create a YouTube channel to start posting my videos, I would post an announcement on the blog.
How often will videos be posted?
I am thinking once or twice a month. It honestly all depends on demand of videos, if my page views are rapidly increasing, and most of all my own time. I am a very busy person during the week days and can not commit to posting videos twice or three times a week like popular YouTubers do. It takes A LOT longer to film, edit, and upload videos then it does to write and publish blog posts.
Will it be announced when a new video will be posted?
I don't have a set schedule, but I may slip it into a blog post, so you must read very carefully (:
What will the videos be about?
Anything that I can think of. I'm thinking about doing mainly fashion, makeup, etc. type things.
**And just a note for all of you creeps out there, I ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY, WILL NOT be posting videos with "inappropriate content." You can find that on other websites, but definitely not here.
Can we request videos?
Absolutely! In fact, I really want you to! I read any comments that I get, so that is a great way to request things. I want to know what you all want to see. Just remember my little note from above (:
I've thought long and hard about this and I am so excited to start making videos. Who knows? Maybe it will work well and I can start an actual YouTube channel ;) ;) . Remember, COMMENT VIDEO REQUESTS!!!

Big Things To Come
Hi guys!
Blogging has successfully worked for over two months now, and I am thinking of taking it to the next level. I want there to be a closer aspect between you and I. Like I'm actually talking to you. Once or twice every month this might occur, and if demand and page views increase rapidly, I may increase the amount of times I post.
Can any of you guess what I might start doing?
Hint: It will start on this blog.
Monday is the day that I release the "teaser" for this new endeavor. If I get positive feedback, then I will start as soon as I can.
Can you handle waiting until Monday?
Sorry guys wanted to be dramatic there.
Happy weekend...(:

Current Favorite Movies
Monsters University: Mike Wazowski has all of this optimism and drive to be a scarer. TBH, he motivates me to study. Like Mike always wanted to go to Monsters University, I have always wanted to go to University of Washington. Probably around the age that Mike decided that he wanted to go there. I remember loving Monsters Inc. as a kid, and when this movie came out, I flipped. I bought it the day that it came out in stores and watched it that night!! I've probably seen it 3 times this week :)
Easy A: Well, we just studied the Puritans in my Humanities class, and this movie is hilarious! Emma Stone plays the role of a girl who is falsely accused of soliciting sex for money at her school in California. It's hilarious, and I guess you could say that it's a modern day take on The Scarlet Letter.
Legally Blonde: Elle Woods is my fave!! She is so confident and I honestly have watched this movie a million times. I've loved it since fourth grade and I always watch it when I'm sick because it has away of cheering you up!
Well guys, I don't watch movies often. Believe it or not, this is it. So I guess it tells you how good they are!
Have a perfect day (:

Lovely November...
Happy first day of a brand new month! November 2013! What are your plans and goals for this month? Do you have a checklist of things that must be done before Thanksgiving week rolls around? Or are you taking this month to chill and just enjoy the last month that it still feels like fall outside.
Around my hood (well, more like my cul de sac. I just kind of went with it), half of the leaves are on the ground. The other half are clinging to the trees desperately. I have loved fall this year, and I want to make the most of this month.
This upcoming Monday marks the beginning of second quarter at my school. First quarter flew by. This quarter's highlights include: Winter break, first semester Finals Week, boys basketball season, all kinds of holiday-like activities, the start of 2014, and student-led conferences. In case you don't have those at your school, I'll give you the gist of it. Students present a PowerPoint to their parents (the subject that it's about differs by grade level. This year, my PowerPoint had to be on My Future. Colleges, careers, etc.) at a scheduled time after school in their homeroom classroom. The week of Thanksgiving is a week full of short days (all of the junior highs in my school district get released from school at 10:30 on these days), and, of course, no school on Thanksgiving or Black Friday.
Other than that, I am hoping to get some good posts up this month. Do you like my new background? I don't know if you've noticed, but I change the background on the first day of every month, or as close as I can after that day! What would you guys like to see?
And, also, I am adding a "Find Me!" gadget on my blog (like the About Me, Translate, etc.). It will have all of my social media usernames and links if possible :)
Happy November everyone! Thanks for sticking with the blog.
