The Queen of Soulsang hits such as Respect,The Way We Were, ChainA Fool, You Better Think,Ain’t No Way and a GospelMedley. To prove she’s stillcurrent, she even chimed in

on Pharrell Williams’ hit bysinging Happy and thecrowd loved it.

Ms. Franklin men-tioned her health chal-lenges, and the feedbackfrom her medical team.However, she forcefully de-clared that she was healedand refused to accept thereports from the doctors!Listening to her sing at ACLmade you forgot all abouther medical struggles. Hervoice and spirit were upbeat

No Mistake:Journey To Self-AcceptanceBy Shirley A. Hammond twitter.com/xtremeridewish1

Having enough love for one’s self is something thatmany adults work towards, sometimes for their lifetime.Children who get a good head start with health self-acceptance can be far ahead of the game, because itcan safeguard them against assaults on their image,and enable them to bloom and blossom to their fullestpotential. Author Chandra Washington has written abook that gets to the heart of how rejection by otherscan cause harm. Through her book she showcases thatlow self-esteem is something that people of all agescan overcome. In the book titled, “No Mistake: JourneyTo Self-acceptance,” Washington uses a characternamed Abena to profile any number of persons whofeel the sting of rejection or isolation and suffer thecollateral effects of that. On the flip side, the storychronicles the girl’s journey from feeling hopeless totriumphant as her self-acceptance grows.

new area The beginning of the newfootball season has gotten offto an unusual start. Onereason is that most of theattention has been taken offthe game and placed on anoff-the-field issue. The case of BaltimoreRaven star player Ray Ricehas placed the entire leagueunder a microscope. And hehas been the top sports newsstory for more than a month.The issue was brought to lifewhen it was revealed that hehad knocked his fiancee(now his wife) unconsciousin an elevator at an AtlanticCity casino. The public becameoutraged about the fact thathe was given only a twogame suspension by the NFLpresident and was requiredto take counseling. Becausethis was his first offense, theDistrict Attorney’s officeaccepted a plea bargain thatincluded him takingcounseling to work on theproblem, preventing him fromhaving a criminal record. This week the tape wasreleased that showed theactual incident and that iswhen this story becameinternational news. Thepublic believed that thepunishment did not fit thecrime and demanded that theNFL Commissioner reviewthe case again. After doingso, Rice was put onsuspension indefinitely. Now a state lawmaker inNew Jersey is calling on thatstate’s Attorney General tolook into the issue to seewhether this case wasproperly handled. He issaying that the law may needto be changed in order forthe penalty to be greater,even if it is a first offense. Domestic abuse has beena problem in this country fora long time. But, as a resultof the Rice case, lawmakerswill be given this issue asecond look. We all knowwomen/men who have livedunder this kind of situation foryears. Usually the victims donot get support from thecommunity or law enforce-ment. It appears that it took apublic action by one of ourathletes to bring this issue tothe national stage. It is one thatis not likely to go away soon.

George was anavid reader of philosophy,history, and geography. Hewas an eyewitness to his-tory during the height ofthe civil rights struggle inTennessee, Arkansas, andMississippi. He was ar-rested twice while cover-ing sit-ins and other pro-test events in the courseof his work as a photogra-pher and journalist.

After retirement,

George brought his writingand photographic talentsto his new home in Austin,Texas. He worked manyyears as a sports reporterand photographer for TheVillager. In 2009, Georgewas inducted into the Prai-rie View InterscholasticLeague CoachesAssociation’s “Media Hallof Fame.”

George was a fre-quent contributor to pub-lications at David ChapelMissionary Baptist Church,including The DC Pulsemonthly newsletter. Heenjoyed teaching Men’sSunday School class, par-ticipating in Senior AdultMinistry activities, anddocumenting church-lifeevents.

George marriedJoyce in 2004. They en-joyed travel all over thestates, most recently,Portland, Oregon, withspecial vacations inAlaska, Hawaii, Turkey, theCaribbean, Spain, Italy,and Canada. The familycelebrated the life andtimes of George at a me-morial service at DavidChapel Missionary BaptistChurch, on Saturday, Sep-tember 6, 2014.

In lieu of flowers,the family requests thatcontributions be made tothe George E. HardinScholarship Fund that isbeing established in hishonor. The family will pro-vide additional informa-tion to those who inquire.

The book is accompa-nied by a Discovery Guidethat helps readers lookwithin themselves for self-acceptance issues throughthought-provoking ques-tions and exercises.

Apparently at the rootof this work is the hurtfulmessages of racial inferior-ity that many black childrenencounter, even to this day.Of course, the fact thatAbena is mistreated re-peatedly by her peers ofvarious backgroundshighlights the fact thatexclusion through bully-ing and meanness stillrun rampant in society.

Positive identity build-ing does not happen over-night. Sometimes peopleneed resources, such as alistening ear, a support net-work, someone who speakspositive benedictions, oreven a book. Washington’sbook uses a black child asa main character, but itpoints to the troubles ofpeople of all ages and

ethnicities. Referred to asa resource, the book hasbeen used by individuals,teachers, classrooms ofstudents and parents whosee the merits of gettingthe message acrossthrough literature.

As Washington indi-cates, some of the detailsfleshed out in the bookborrow from her own life,where she was rejectedand isolated in a desegre-gated environment. How-ever, she shares that onedifference lies in the factthat her story characterhas people and other re-sources to help her over-come. She has admits howmuch she wished such abook were available toher, and offers it as ateaching and learning toolthat demonstrates that atransformation to self-ac-ceptance is possible.

In an interview she

explained how we some-times berate ourselves,even within our commu-nity, regarding our fea-tures, such as differentgrades of hair, darker skintones. She said even in the21st Century you havesome blacks who thinkthey are inferior to whitepeople in every way. Shesaid it was eye-opening tosee how some very youngchildren are able tofathom notions of superi-ority and inferiority. “It’slike a runaway train.” Shesaid she intended that herbook could be one tool tohelp stop this train.

She said that whenshe launched the book inOctober last year, she toldGod, “I’ll do the what ifyou show me the how.”

We had our su-perintendent come in andjudge our towers on howstructured it was and howtall it was. He shook andmoved the tower to test it.

When he tested oursit almost fell apart. So wehad lost already but thereare 2 towers left one is thenext tallest but it's not thatstructured either. The lastone is tall, structured, andlooks like the Eiffel Tower.The group that built itcalled it the "awful tower".We may have lost but westill had fun and tried ourbest!

Volleyball Tryouts

Sarah RobertsonAthlos Leadership Acad

This week at AthlosLeadership Academy wehad volleyball tryouts forgrades 6th-9th. The tryoutswere on Tuesday and Thurs-day, from 4:00-6:00, we hadto do different volleyballdrills like bumps, sets,sprints, and serve. At theend we played a short vol-leyball game. I thought I didwell, but I also know that Ineed to improve. I’vewatched my sister and mycousin play volleyball and

they made it look easy, butnow I know it is hard workgetting the ball over thenet.

On the Thursday afterthe tryouts the coaches toldup that we will have our firstgame against NYOS CharterSchool on Monday. On Fri-day morning, each player’sname was placed on a listrevealing who made the Aor B team. The A team willplay in the games but the Bteam will not be playing atthis time but is welcomeparticipate in all the prac-tices. I figured if I didn’tmake the team or made theB team, I would just moveon to something else. Hap-pily, I made the A team andI’m so excited that I madethe team. Now, I have towork hard and so that I canplay hard. I need to workon my serves and get bet-ter at my bumps, but I’mready to play.

So, I’m ready to start a

new sport and new season.

Walking into theJohn B. Connally HighSchool’s gym for the firstweek of practice waseasier this season thanthe previous three. Thefirst year, I was nervousbecause I was a freshmanand did not know what toexpect. The next year,when I was a sophomorewas better, but I was stillnervous because I didn’tknow if I would make theteam. Last year, I was ner-vous because my goal wasto make Varsity. This yearwas easier because I knew

Hannah RobertsonConnally High School

I would make the team,but my goal was to be abetter player. It was a bit-ter-sweet experience be-cause I also realized thiswas my last season withthe teammates that I haveshared the joy of victoriesand the agony of defeatswith for the last three sea-sons.

This year Connallyhas nine returning seniorsstepping on the court, butwe have some big shoes tofill because we lost threekey players from lastyear’s team. But we aredetermine to come outand make a statement toour new District 17-5A.We are approaching dis-trict play in a couple ofweeks and we are still try-ing to get our rhythm to-gether in the preseason.W ith upcoming team-bonding activities andsome intense practices wewill be ready for a goodseason. Playing with myfriends, my sisters, myteammates will be some-thing I will always remem-

ber with a smile.

Lunch time atRidgeview Middle School isthe most chaotic time of theschool day. The time whenfriends get to finally meetand talk about whateverdrama they were holding inthe past five periods. Thetime when everyone’sstomach is practically eatingitself because it’s so hungry.The time where mostmiddle school memoriesare made.

For sixth graders,the lunch period is early inthe day. But eighth gradershave to wait six hours afterbreakfast before they caneat again, and by the timethey get there, the lunch-room is already full. Wait-ing in line is like waiting toget tickets to the midnightpremiere of a movie: it

takes forever! There is al-ways that one person whotries to get as much food aspossible and stops trafficflow. By the time you finallyget to the front of the line,all of the good food is taken.But the real challenge iswhere to sit, and whom toeat with.

Finding the right spotin the cafeteria is no easytask. You have to find theright group of people to sitwith and the right seat totake. You wouldn’t want tosit next to someone whoalways tries to take yourfood without asking. It iscrucial to find a seat withpeople that make you com-fortable during your lunchperiod so that the rest ofyour day will be more en-joyable.

No matter what any-one else says, lunch neverseems to last as long as youwant it to. As soon as yousit down, it seems like youhave to jump up again to goto your next class. This is aproblem because if some-one doesn’t get to eatenough, then he will behungry until school ends at3:30. The truth is… lunchtime is a stressful, but en-joyable part of the school

day.

School Again

So, the first couple ofweeks of middle schoolhave gone pretty good. Inmy English class, we read abook. The book I’m readingis Kennedy Assassinated!The World Moans a Report’sStory written by WillburnHampton. It’s a good book.In Math we are working onfractions and everyday wehave homework. During

Push Yourself

This week was good atschool. I got a new job thatI'm really exited aboutworking at, I'm ready to try

something new, I was at myother job for one year andI’m proud that I was able tomaintain a job that long, notsaying it's impossible be-cause I did it but, it's justthat I give up a lot. Whenthings don't go my way I justgive up. But I'm learningthat you can't give up youhave to just keep pushingyour self. It took me minuteto realize it but I finally haveand I'm proud of myself.Giving up will get you nowhere. So the next timeyou think about giving upjust remembers that's it willget you no where.

I had a pretty interest-ing summer this past sum-mer break. I did a goodamount of traveling and dida lot of things at home. Partof my summer travels in-cluded a trip to the city ofDenver, Colorado. There aremany exciting things to do inDenver but sightseeing is agreat great activity becauseDenver is such a nice citywith much to offer like amultitude of sports. Denverhas a professional team forevery major sport in America.Denver is also home to somelesser-known professionalsports teams, like the Den-ver Outlaws, the city’s pro la-crosse team.

Lacrosse is a very fastgrowing sport that is playedthroughout the world. Thispast summer the World La-crosse Championships wereheld in Denver, Colorado.This is the equivalent of theWorld Cup in soccer. Teamsfrom around the world gath-ered in Denver at Dick’s Sport-ing Goods Park to competeagainst one another to be thebest lacrosse team in theworld. Many countries wererepresented this year be-sides the big powerhouseteams like the United States,Canada and Australia. Thisyear was the first time inWorld Lacrosse Champion-ships history that the conti-nent of Africa was repre-sented.

The country of Ugandawas the first team to play inthe World Lacrosse Champi-onships from the continentof Africa. The Ugandan teamwas very happy to be there

Wesley DickersonCedar Ridge H. S.

as they were all smiles dur-ing the opening ceremoniesas they waved and dancedtheir way through the sta-dium. The Ugandan playerswere very happy but still verynew to lacrosse. They playedtheir first game against Ire-land which is not one of thelacrosse giants of the worldbut they were much moreexperienced than the Ugan-dans. The Ugandans had notplayed one internationalgame before this one. TheUgandans gave it their all butthe score did not show it,Uganda was down 15-0 in thefirst half of play alone.

The Irish may have hadbetter skills, talent, execu-tion, coaching, athleticism,and many other things butUganda had the crowd. Withonly one game of lacrosse inthe books Uganda had al-ready sold out of team t-shirtsin one day. During the gameyou would hear nothing butshouts and chants for theUgandan players. The crowdroared every time somethinggood almost happened forthe Ugandan team. Loudcheers from the stands fol-lowed every shot, everypass, every steal, and everyground ball. Uganda onlymanaged to score one goalbut when they did the entirecity of Denver was aware ofit. Once the shot was madethe entire crowd was ontheir feet jumping andscreaming “U-gan-da! U-gan-da!” The whole team ran tothe stands to take it in. By thecheers and celebrationsalone you would havethought that Uganda had justbeen crowned tournamentchampions.

This was a big step forthe lacrosse and African com-munities. Hopefully thisleads to promotion of thesport in Africa and more Af-rican countries in the WorldLacrosse Games. The sup-port is most certainly thereand if someone can bring abag of lacrosse sticks andsome balls to a few moreAfrican countries Africanlacrosse could becomesomething very fun towatch.

I’m Whitney Brown. Iam a christian, student, bas-ketball player, and leader.This year I will write for TheYouth Brigade representingS.F. Austin High School. Mysummer was busy travelingand visiting family. Thoughseeing old friends, in Colo-rado, and meeting newpeople, in Louisiana, wasfun I am now ready to getback to working hard andplaying harder in my greatcity of Austin, Texas. Ourfirst week of school justended. We did work as if itwere the middle of the year.It was fast paced and theopposite of what I ex-pected.

Throughout my yearsof schooling the trend oforganization and set up

Whitney BrownS. F. Austin H. S.

filled every ‘first week’ ofschool that I’ve had. Never-theless, I am nervous forthis upcoming year. I expectgreatness, but I’m aware itwill not come easy. I plan touse this year as a tool to setup opportunity and guideme in the right direction formy future.

I hope to achieve mybest and reach all goals thatI have set for myself. I amaware that being a sopho-more in high school is apoint where the curriculumdoes increase in difficulty.Knowing this, I should pre-vent myself from allowingtoo much pressure to steerme away from my set chal-lenges at hand.

“Cast your cares onThe Lord and He will sustainyou; He will never let therighteous fall.” (Psalm

Introducing Ms. Brown Uganda has Lacrosse

Hello Readers,Well I have some

good news and some badnews and I think I will startwith the bad news first. Iwas not able to get out ofmy theater arts electiveclass. This past Friday theannouncement was madethat no more electiveclasses would be changed;the only classes that

De’Ja HillLamar Middle School

would be changed arecore classes. I guess I amstuck with this class for thesecond time.

The good news isthat I was in the gymna-sium on Friday because Ihad to do a fitness gramfor my dance class. A fit-ness gram is used to deter-mine how fit you are, forexample you do push-ups,sit-ups, trunk lifts, as wellas sit and reaches. When Ifinished with my fitnessgram, my friends and Iwere trying to see whocould do a split. Therewere a lot of girls thatcould do them, and thenthey asked me to try. Iwent down really fast andI DID IT!! I DID A SPLIT!! Ihave been working on do-ing a split for over a yearand I finally did it. I wasso proud of myself.

Until next time.

The Good and Bad

This week I had oneof my electives changed,instead of robotics I nowhave skil ls for l iving.While I was in skills for liv-ing, we watched a moviecalled “Remember the Ti-

Aaron WilliamsKealing M.S.

tans”, starring DenzelWashington. Watchingthat movie taught me thatyou do not have to be thesame race as another per-son to get along withthem.

In football practice,this week we practiced onour conditioning again aswell as sprints, ups,downs, and somethingcalled hourglasses. Hour-glass is an exercise wherewe jog diagonally fromone end zone to the otherend zone. Once wereached the inside of theend zone we sprint thewidth of the end zone andthen we jog diagonallyback to the other end. Be

safe!

Electives and Sports

We are already intoweek three of football sea-son and the Hawks are start-ing out strong just like lastyear. You remember the sea-son was so promising lastyear up until the startingquarterback broke a leg andthe season ended prema-turely. This year the offensedoes not seem to haveskipped a beat. There twoquarterbacks in pre-districtcompetition. CarringtonKearney is a running threatand can throw the long ball.Ian Starkey has a higher passcompletion rate. It appearsthat the team has finallyachieved more than a strongrunning game and if every-one stays healthy we may fi-nally make the trip to thestate championship.

Alon RodgersHendrickson H. S.

Top running back is Se-nior Tazh Malloy with an av-erage of 100 yards per game.Kearney is not far behind inthe running totals. In theJudson game the Hawks wonat home 37-34 depending onthe passing game to breakaway. At Belton this week theHawks returned to a running at-tack that demonstrated theirscoring potential 49-21.

Hello Readers,This week the Reagan

Raiders had their first foot-ball game. The freshmangame did not go so well,they lost horrifically. Thejunior varsity team lost alsoby a score of 6-0, unfortu-nately I am unaware of theoutcome of the varsityteam’s game. I hope that inthe near future that all

three teams can step uptheir playing game for theirown good. However, I amconfident that the Raiderswill come out vigorouslywith all the raw talent theyhave this school year.

The Raiders also hadtheir first pep rally if I hadnot mentioned this before.It was a mixture of fun andexciting feelings. Sitting byyour friends screaming atthe top of your lungs in anattempt to win the spiritstick. For anyone who doesnot know what a spirit stickis please let me explain. Aspirit stick is a stick you winfor being g the class withthe most spirit. Unfortu-nately, the juniors won thespirit stick this week but itis all good the sophomoreswill get them next time.

Until next time wish us

luck!

leaders pick what ever theywant the students to wearon Friday and they choseduck dynasty.

We had a big pep rallyfor the football game.There was a beach ball inthe crowd and a lot ofpeople were excited for noreason including me! Onething you actually learnfrom a pep rally is schoolspirit, which every schoolneeds.

Spirit day is a very im-portant day, it shows theplayers that their peoplewant them to do a good job.Spirit day is a day were wejust want to win while hav-ing fun. Spirit day is thebest!

Spirit Day

I Love My School

I love my school, it isthe best school in theworld! We get to observespecial days like Valentine’sDay dance, field day andNUT day. But my favoriteday is Valentine’s day be-cause it is a day when

Malakhi WashingtonCedars Int’l Academy

people are happy.Picture day is also lots

of fun because we get totake pictures with props.

NUT (No Uniforms To-day) day is the day you getto wear anything that youchoose.

There are a lot of greatthings that I like about myschool and some things thatI do not like. We want moretime for recess and a differ-ent lunch menu. The play-ground needs to be biggerand the class rooms need tobe larger. We also need aninside gym.

As you can see, I likemore things about myschool than I dislike.

So if you are lookingfor a great charter schoolthen this is the one for you!

Amanda left her na-tive land of Cameroon inquest of the fulfillment ofa better dream of estab-lishing her own businessin the United States. Overthe last 15 years, Amandahas seen the completionof her dream of havingher own "Hair and DaySpa Salon" in CentralTexas. Her businesscalled Black Hair Unlim-ited & Day Spa offersvarious types of prod-ucts, such as: haircuts;perm and weaves; jerylcurls; and all types ofother hair service. Shebelieves that there is anunlimited growth sourcehere in the Austin area.

Now that she runs asuccessful business, shehas been given back tothose in needs. Armada,a local business owner,believes that it is impor-

tant for her to give backto the community. In Cen-tral Texas, Armada hasgiven back to the commu-nity by helping a local girlsoccer league with theirfundraising goals. Fur-thermore, she has givena 10% discount of herservices to children andteenagers entering the

new school year.In addition of help-

ing here in Central Texas,Amada is also helpingpeople on the AfricanContinent. On her freetime she collects hair, inorder, to make some wigsfor cancer patients on theAfrican Continent. More-over, she is making anappeal to the community

to donate extra hair thatthey may have at her lo-cation, which, is locatedat 3218 Martin LutherKing Blvd Austin, TX78721 or can be called at(512) 423-3940. The do-nation of hair would al-low her to make morewigs at a cheaper ratefor cancer patient on theAfrican Continent.

Proposition 1 Pros and Cons

Most of the focushas been on the Austin citycouncil race; however,there are some proposi-tions on the ballots. Theseproposition on the ballotare just as important aselecting the next Mayor ofAustin or the next AustinCity Council. Just likeanyother issues, there areboth positive and negativeissues when dealing withproposition 1.There aresome people who supportProposition 1 or Project Con-nect due to the fact thatthey believe that thisproject will help Austin al-leviate it's congestion

problem.Proposition 1 or

Project Connect calls for thefollowing: “$400 millionwould be used for road im-provements, mainly on In-terstate 35. The other $600million would go toward cre-ating an urban rail line fromEast Riverside to the AustinCommunity College High-land Campus. Bond moneyfor the rail would only beissued if the city getsmatching federal money forthe project." Those whosupport the rail mentionthat the project would offersome type of relief in thedowntown corridors. Alsothey believe it is better tostart with sometype of

project, instead, of waitingfor more traffic increase.

On the other hand,there are numerous peoplewho oppose this proposi-tion. Those who opposebelieve that this project willcause more middle classfamilies to spend theirmoney on projects thatwould benefit a few. Sincethe Proposition main urbanrail program will only ben-efit the downtown and Riv-erside corridors, then itwould not help those livingoutside the area. For in-stance, neighborhood likeDove Springs which needsmore public transportationwill not benefit from the in-crease of rail.
