Autobiographical Incident The most excited game of the year has finally gotten here. It was the day that MLK plays Southwest Dekalb HS and we new that millions of people would be there. As a cheerleader I was just excited about the game as everyone else, but this day of November 23, 2012 something based happened to my little brother. While he was walking down the hallway he was robbed by some boys that go to my school, he was called to the office and I didn’t find out until right before the game. This was the second time that something hapo.pended to my brother. That triggered me and it ruined my attitude for the game and for the rest of the day. I know I wasn’t suppose to allow that to happen but it did. While we continued to get dressed and my mom and dad took my brother home, all of the cheerleaders then loaded the bus. Everybody laughing and playing but besides me. I wasn’t in the best mood and I didn’t want too be b bothered after so much just happened. A couple minutes later the bus pulled up at Southwest Dekalb and we all got off the bus. When we got off the bus the students that attend the school were yelling, screaming and calling us bad names but we ignored the comments and kept going. Finally all the cheerleaders get inside the gym , stretch and get ready for the boys game. Prior top all of this happening, one girl name Alexia didn’t like one of our cheerleaders and her name is Crystele. When the girls game started me, tieyra and jade were placed at the end near the other cheerleaders and it was a crowd behind us. The girls game begun and everything was cool, it went on and on and the girls started looses by 45 points. After about an hour an a half, the game ended and as you looked around the gym began to get more and more people. When the people finally settled down and got hyped and ready for the boys game, alexia walked passed and called Crystele a bitch. She then turned around and told our coach, couch Thompson that she had been disrespected by the young lady. He didn’t do anything and Crystele was hot and furious about what happened. When they finally started the boys game, the tension between the two school got extremely high and the atmosphere was the wrong place to be at the wrong time. While we were cheering the girl that recently called Crystele out of her name was standing by the end where me and tieyra was. When the boy finally shot the ball, the tension in the game got worse and Alexia turned tome and called me a bitch. Meanwhile, during the game she was throwing items at us such as bracelets, bottles, and other harmful items. When she said that, it took me a minute to retaliate but since I wasn’t having a good day, the retaliation lead to a disturbance of the basketball game. I went charging at her while she was screaming back and fourth with me. Tieyra came running over there to hold me back and I continued to want o get closer and closer to her because of all the anger that I had built inside of me because she was an distraction the entire game. Mr. Jones and officer goshe’ came and escorted me out of the gym because he said that the atmosphere was bad and that’s what everyone was waiting too see and they didn’t want us in the predicament that we were placed in as young ladies that continued to get disrespected and no one was doing anything about what was going on. When we left as a squad we were told to leave the gym and stand outside and wait for the bus driver to open the door. When we walked outside, Maya said to me, look isn’t that the girl alexia right there and my response to her was yes but you know what, im just going to leave her alone and I was like come on. When I went to stand by the bus with all of the other cheerleaders she look at me and said, bitch what the fuck you looking at and at the time I was furious hot and wasn’t having a great day and I retaliated by using physical actions to hit her and start a fight.. During the fight another cheerleader name Shardonne’ came and got some hit in and then Maya came and kicked the girl but it was dealing with them. In the process, dr. Jones foot got ran over by a car that didn’t see him in the ground. When the fight was over, I ran and got on the bus and waited for everything to calm down. The ambulance was waiting too see what was wrong with and he came to the conclusion that he had two broken bones in his foot. During this time, I was mad, upset an ready too leave. Fighting this girl really taught me a lot because ive learned that everybody is going to be talked about the things that they say aren’t going to be the nicest but you cant always allow people too get too you an ruin the person that you are and bring me you out of character. That is something that I regret doing and I want this to be placed behind me. This didn’t only affect me not being on the cheerleading team anymore but it also affected me doing well in school. When I arrived back to school I had all C’s in all of my classes and I still had final exams that I had too take on the material that want even taught to me due to the fact that I was suspended for 15 days and was out for the Christmas break a whole week before everyone else. This was a mistake and its really changed my life on viewing people and sometime you cant let people take over your character and just let the words go through one ear and out of the other because I know I was mad but I also know that hitting her wasn’t the right thing to do. I have really grown from the situation and it let me see myself on the brighter side. During the consequences that I had to face, I know I had to pull through because I want too graduate and I know that I am old enough too make smarter and more adult made decision rather than doing something that you will get caught up in a whole bunch of mess.
