Today I learned about George Washington.These are some facts that I learned.

Most people think George Washington’s hair was a white wig but it’s not true.His hair was naturally  red, but powdered white and pulled back into a pony tail.some people also say that George Washington had fake wooden teeth, but that is also false.The truth is that he had fake teeth, the myth is that they were wooden.He had fake teeth but they were not wooden, they were made of cow’s teeth hippopotamus ivory, and sometimes human teeth.George Washington was also born without a  middle name.Researchers say, they have gone through his past family bibles and his name was recorded without a middle name.Most of the people in the United States knows the silver dollar story, well that is also false.They use that story to demonstrate his size and strength, but it is impossible to throw a dollar across a river over a mile wide.They didn’t even have silver dollars back then.Another false story that most people believe is the cherry tree.George Washington didn’t really cut down his dads favorite cherry tree.

        Today I learned about Abraham Lincoln.Here are some facts I learned.

Some people say that Abraham Lincoln wore the same top-hat his whole life.Lincoln was on February 12,1809 in a small room in a log cabin.Abe ran for president in 186, unfortunately a year later the Civil War began.The Civil War was between the northern and southern states.Lincoln wanted the North and South to quit and work together and let go of the anger between them.Later that evening Lincoln went to see a play and when the play started Abe was  was shot and killed by John Wilkes Booth, a supporter of the South.

So last weekend was January 30, 2016 and I had a cheer competition and I just wanted to tell you about that!…….

Last weekend we arrived at the Dallas Cowboys Stadium and i was about to have a cheer-tastic moment!My mom went to go find her seat as our team went down for warm-ups.When we got down to warm-ups we hit all our stunts and our jumps looked really good, after that we warmed up tumbling and we looked competition ready!Before we knew it, 3 minutes later we were walking out on the competition floor!As we stepped on the floor we had to swing and put our hands on our hips and go to our spots.Right when the music started,we started! It was sooo exciting, we hit all our stunts,we were together on our jumps and had good tumbling and the people that were tumbling with a partner went at the exact same time!When we finished our routine a lot of us went and bought something- I got a shirt and two headbands.By 6:00 our awards started.They called out every name of the teams and we were the only ones left on the floor and we were so  scared because we didn’t know if we got last or didn’t place!WEEELLLLLL……………

The guy finally said…

“The team getting their National Champion jackets today baby…East Texas All Stars Bling!!!!!!!!”

When we went back stage, we got our dog tags, banner, jackets, and metals! We got to take a picture with the DCC and it tuned out that we got…

High Point, National Champion, and First Place!!!!

And that was my 4 time getting to go to that competition and 3 time getting first pace there!!
