Chris Darnell stopped by school recently to let us know that he has been accepted into the United States Army and is leav-ing soon for basic training in Georgia.

Having experienced Chris’ determination and focus, we were-n’t surprised to hear that, when given the option between eight and ten weeks of basic training, he chose the more difficult path because it opens the door to greater opportunities in the future.

Chris joins several Academy graduates who are currently pur-suing military careers. Our hearts are with them.

Mission of Old Cockrill

To produce a safe en-vironment in which stu-dents are inspired to achieve success through an individualized plan that leads to graduation. Our goal is to develop produc-tive citizens and celebrate their success.

The Academy pro-vides an opportunity for students who want to pur-sue a high school diploma in a non-traditional setting.

We have flexible scheduling, non-traditional curricula, a diverse student body, and an open cam-pus, far removed from the traditional high school ex-perience.

After an application process you may be select-ed for an interview.

We are a school of choice, meaning that you choose to be here and you choose to work hard. Oth-erwise, we have the choice of not letting you attend.

Students are treated like adults, and we expect adult behavior from every student.

going to school day-in and day-out for 13 long years, doing lots of work, is some-thing everyone should feel proud of because some people just quit. Students that do graduate find them-selves feeling accomplished.

Even if you have dropped out of high school, going back to get your high school diploma gives you a good feeling of accomplish-ment and not giving up. And out of all the things in life that can be taken away from you, education is

something that cannot be stolen or taken away.

If you want your chil-dren, later in life, to stay in school and get their high school diplomas, you might want to be able to preach what you practiced. Being a good positive role model will help keep them moti-vated to never give up and stay in school.

Most children learn from watching others around them. It’s important to be a good influence for your

children so they succeed in their high school career.

If you happen to have low self esteem and think you can’t do anything, grad-uating from high school and knowing that you did not quit will boost your self esteem to start believing in yourself which will help you get further in life with a better career.

cial classes. I watched Angela strug-gle.

We finally took her to a doctor. They couldn’t find anything wrong with her. Yet she barely talked and she struggled in school.

We moved to Tennessee her sixth grade year. That’s when every-thing got so much harder for her. She started regressing which is a return to a former or less devel-oped state.

Angela used to be able to give herself a shower and now she couldn’t. She used to be able to dress herself and now she couldn’t. It just kept getting worse.

She started acting out, being more vocal. She was making noises when she couldn’t express herself.

The S t r u g g l e of Autism

By Sarah Davis Autism is a mental condition present-ed from early childhood, charac-terized by difficulty

in communicating and forming re-lationships with other people and in using language and abstract con-cepts.

When my little sister, Angela, was two, she used to walk on her tippy toes. That’s when we knew something was wrong for the first time. But then we thought she might grow out of it.

Then in elementary school she started learning slower than the other kids. So they put her in spe-

She was hitting people. This wasn’t the Angela we knew, and we didn’t know what to do. We took her to another doctor. They finally diag-nosed her with autism.

Angela is now fifteen years old. She’s in the eighth grade. They had to keep her back a couple of grades because she didn’t understand what was being taught.

She can’t give herself a shower or dress herself. She can’t do most day-to-day things. We still don’t know all that is wrong with Angela.

There is a test that we could find out through DNA but our insurance won’t pay for it right now. Even though we are still learning how to handle her, I wouldn’t trade Angela for the world.

When you were a child, what did you want to be when you grow up? Are you still interested in that career? Most likely not be-cause you don’t see

yourself as a cop or fireman any-more.

I was interested in so many things when I was young. I wanted to be a chef, a barber, an artist, an actor, and a mechanic. The only problem is that you only get to choose one career.

When I was young, all I wanted to be was a chef. I use to watch cooking channels all the time and try to cook some of the recipes. That explains why I look like this till this day. That was my dream

and I always accomplish all my dreams.

At age 17 I started work-ing at a restaurant and I was one of the best cooks. After a while I wasn’t happy with what I was doing so I decided to choose another path.

What I learned in life is to turn your hobbies into your career.

In the 5th grade I wanted to be a barber so I kept going to the barbershop just so I could see how they do it.

Every month I would practice cutting my little brother’s hair until I got good at it. In the 7th grade I cut all my families’ and friends’ hair.

When I entered the 10th grade, I had cosmetology class and

that helped me out a lot. I was one of the best barbers at Glencliff

High school. I love to draw so I used that talent to do de-signs on people’s hair. How many times has your car ever broken down on you? Well, with me I have bad luck with cars and I’ve been stuck on the highway more than 10 times; so, I’m use to it already. The first time it ever hap-pened to me, I was on my way to school. My tire popped and I had to idea of how to replace it with another one. I had to call my friend to help me out. I wanted to learn more about cars so I studied every night. I even got a job at

By Victoria Robinson My name is Victoria

Robinson. When I was 16 years old I got pregnant with my beautiful daughter. Her name is Da’miya Ma-kalya Perrin.

I was 17 years old when I had her. It was scary be-cause I didn’t know what to do with this newborn little baby. But thank God I have a family that is very sup-portive and that will do an-ything for me. So when I took her home, I was so nervous that I was going to do something wrong; but, e v e r y t h i n g was okay. Having my daughter was-n’t planned. But she is a blessing from God.

My plan was to finish high school and graduate from there and go to college to be an RN. Things didn’t go as planned. I didn’t graduate on time so I went to The Cohn School and did my work there. Then I decided

to go to the Academy at Old Cockrill so I could graduate faster.

Today as I look back on what I should have done, I would have done it a little differently. But I wouldn’t trade my daughter for the world.

As I am get-ting older and my friends or little girls around me talk about having a child early, I tell them that I wish some-body had told me that hav-ing a baby is not cute. You should just finish school and wait until you are finan-cially fit to take care of a

child. If I could go back, I would have done what I needed to do while I was in high school and wouldn’t have had her at an early age. Now, that my daughter is

one, I am working at Krog-er, and I am going to gradu-ate in December. As I look back on things then, and compare them to now, it’s harder being a single moth-er. Just because you have a

baby by someone doesn’t mean they will always be there—that’s what I thought. I am taking care of my daughter and myself on

my own with some help from my moth-er. Some-times I w o n d e r where I would be

if it wasn’t for my mother. She is a big help. She keeps Da’miya while I go to school and work. That’s a blessing that some young girls don’t have from their mothers.

My advice is to go to school and do what’s right so you won’t have to go through what I went through.

For anyone that’s caught raising a child when you are still one yourself, The De-partment of Human Ser-vices provides financial help for child care costs for families with low in-comes.

Bjork is a singer, song writer, composer, musician, and actress from Iceland. She has been active since 1977. The genres she is ac-tive in are Alternative Rock, elec-tronic, Trip hop , and experi-mental. She has some amazing life-changing music. She is cur-rently touring for her album, Bio-phillia. She has been in a lot of bands. The most known one is The Sugarcubes. She went solo in 1992 with her album debut which is pop-dance.

Every album she makes is for something or means something.

In Debut, she had just moved from Iceland to America. She felt isolated and unsure of how things worked here in America and her songs from that album really re-flect her feelings. In Biophillia she really got in touch with the nature side of the world.

She actually made an app in the apple store for the whole al-bum.

There are graphics and games for each song in the al-bum. It’s truly Amazing. She has recently released her second al-bum.

The songs in this album are remixes to the songs in Biophillia. I can honestly say I absolutely

love her work. I feel like not enough people know about her, so I wanted to take advantage of this opportunity and let everyone know that she is completely AMAZING! You should really check her out. www.Bjork.com

Cosmetology is really popular right now. A lot of people are try-ing to make a career out of it because it is something they enjoy

doing and would not mind doing for the rest of their lives.

There are so many different pathways you can take in the field of cosmetology, for ex-ample hair, nails, makeup, to name a few. Most people have one that they prefer doing over the others. For me, I prefer hair.

There are so many different things involving hair. You can dye it, braid it, put in exten-sions, cut it, etc.

My hair has always been pretty im-portant to me, just like it probably is for the majority of people, and it is something I enjoy doing; so, why not make a career out of it.

Doing hair is not as easy as you

might think. There are a lot of things you have to take into consideration whether you are doing some-body else’s hair or your own.

Let’s say you are dying your client’s hair from brown to blond. You would have to

bleach the hair first, which involves chemicals that you have to think about. Some people are sensitive to things like that. Not only would you have to know how to bleach the hair, you would have to know what is in the bleach and if it is ok to use on that specific per-son. Many people know and hate the fact that

hair takes so long to grow, so they are skeptical about cutting it sometimes.

When somebody comes to you to cut their hair, they’re putting a lot of trust in you.

You need to make sure your client is very specific when explaining what

they want done because you don’t want to be that person with all the

bad reviews. It is your fault if their hair gets messed up. Extensions and sew-ins are very popular now. Sew-ins tend to be more expensive than the clip-ins. They can last from one

month to about a year depending on how well you take care of them. And if you’re willing to spend that much on something, you would probably want to take care of them to get as

much use out of them as you possibly can. People don’t just get ex-tensions to make their hair longer. They also work well if you have very thin hair; they will give hair more volume

and make it look thicker. For the most part, people get extensions to lengthen their hair.

If you enjoy working with hair or nails, then cosmetology could be a great career for you. It will be for me.

learn more about cars. I went from not

knowing how to change a tire to chang-ing the clutch, trans-mission, swapping en-gines, and working on cars every day. I did all that in less than a year.

The main point of all this is to help you realize that you can be anything you want but

only if you are dedicat-ed to it. Now is the time to put your dreams into goals to accomplish. My name is Irving Mota and I was born in Manhattan New York, and I be-lieve that you can be successful in life if you take steps toward what you want to be.

who don’t graduate. Also it’s harder for people

without a diploma to find a job, because now most places require a high school diploma to get the job. So people should realize the importance of a high school edu-cation.

Another important reason is because someone who doesn’t graduate will earn approximately $300,000 less over a lifetime than a high school graduate, and if you don’t graduate you won’t have to

struggle as much finding a good job or even more than one job.

Graduating provides a good opportunity to earn more money and to have a better life.

If you want to have an even better life, you should go to col-lege.

It is very important to graduate because a high school diploma is required to be able to attend col-lege.

Another good reason for grad-uation from high school is that

Most problems with relationships, self-image, and attitudeare the result of a messed-up paradigm or two.

For instance, a poor relationship with your dad, is likely the result of a WARPED paradigm of each other.

You may see him as being totally out of touch with the modern world,

and he may see you as a spoiled, ungrateful brat.

Both of your paradigms are probably incomplete

and are holding you back from real communication.

The Academy at Old Cockrill has implemented Metro Nashville Public Schools’ reading initiative through its Wednesday Reading Revolution program which includes The 7 Habits of HIGHLY Effective TEENS and the Daily Reflections for Highly Effec-tive Teens, written by Sean Covey.

Some Reading Revolution activities relate to current events and others are articles from The New York

Times’ upfront , THE NEWSMAGAZINE FOR TEENS.

Two of Ms. Van Loon’s math students, Tadarius Turner and Quanisha Whitson, were given an assign-ment to survey students about the reading activities. They recorded their findings on a bar chart and presented them to the faculty.

Student suggestions will help guide changes that are slated to begin after the Thanksgiving Holiday break.

http://www.abrahamlincolnonline.org/lincoln/speeches/house.htm

By Faith Edwards

(Written dur-

ing the govern-

ment shutdown in

October, 2013.)

It seems that mass hys-

teria is running amuck amongst

the government. No common

ground is being reached and it does

not look likely that time is coming.

Recent scrutinizing over the

healthcare act implemented by President

Obama has caused this melt down be-

tween the Democrats and Republicans.

Some Republicans are unwilling to com-

promise on anything that will let the Af-

fordable Health Care (AHC) act reign

down on the people of America even

though it was already passed into law.

Neither party will unanimously agree

on a short term spending bill being passed

around with stipulations like the health

care act being on hold for a year before

taking affect.

This shutdown of the government

could potentially cost 2.4 billion dollars or

more depending upon the longevity of

this madness. This number does not

include worker job and wage

loss and the loss of trust that

our government will look

out for its people.

Most businesses

have to draw up

no funding plans,

because of a note

from the Attorney

General, Benjamin Civi-

letti, saying government

work could not continue.

If a longer shutdown is present,

the loss of faith in our government

could lead to the exacerbation of the debt

problem we will be sailing into.

Another problem is contracting offic-

ers who have already lost work time (and

doomed to lose more the longer this goes

on) looking for their contracts to keep

afloat. All government organizations like

parks or NASA have to shut down and

research, jobs, and income are just dimin-

ishing right with it.

This has been the first government

shut down in 17 years, and back in 1996

(when the last one was going) the ramifi-

cations were not even triple of what they

can be now.

People are already feeling the strain

of this while trying to renew passports and

things of that nature.

All parties refused to budge and Pres-

ident Obama is not happy about it, placing

all the blame on what he likes to call the

“Republican Shutdown.”

The point is, folks, we should not be

trying to place blame; we should only be

working on a solution, but the Republi-

cans and Democrats seem a bit too stub-

born for that to be in the immediate future.

Like President Abraham Lincoln said “a

country divided against itself cannot

stand” and the government should take a

hint.

The longer this goes on the more

problems will arise until ultimately the

pigheadedness will tear our great nation

apart. Someone is going to have to give in,

either the Democrats or the Republicans,

and by the looks of it, it is going to be the

Republicans due to the early polls taken

where America does not believe shutting

down funding is the right way to go about

things.

The United States is going to keep

suffering due to stubbornness until the

government can reunite and fulfill it’s

obligation of protecting America.

Short Fi lm Interpretation of “The Aleph” One of the Academy’s own amateur film makers, Lucas Hames, recently published his latest short film on Oct 4, 2013, on YouTube. It is based on the short story "The Aleph" by Jorge Luis Borges and is accompanied by the song Violent Dreams by Crystal Castles. According to Wikipedia, “the Aleph is a point in space that contains all other points. Anyone who gazes into it can see everything in the universe from every angle simultaneously, without distortion, overlapping or confusion.”

By Carlos Harris The Tennessee Titans are having a great season so far this year.

They had a 2-1 start with a win over the Pittsburgh Steel-ers and the San Diego Chargers. They lost to the Houston Texans. On Sunday, the 22nd of September, they beat San Diego 20-17. They won with a great catch from their rookie wide receiver Jus-tin Hunter over Chargers cor-ner back Crezdon Butler. He caught it for a 34 yard touch-down with under a minute left

in the 4th quarter. Their next game on September 29th, 2013 is against the New York Jets.

I predict the titans will lose their next game against the Jets. I predict the score will be 28-7. Chris Johnson will not have a good game running against the Jets. Locker will be sacked in the back field at least five times that game.

The GREAT 2006 Win for the Colts

By Zac Sommers

In 2006 the Indianapo-lis Colts ended their regu-lar season 12-4 to put them in first place in the south.

The New England Pa-triots was the only team to give the Colts trouble in the playoffs, but the Colts came to win the football game and beat them to clench the AFC Champi-onship.

The next big step for the Colts was to go to Mi-ami to face a great Bear’s team in the Super Bowl. This was the first Super Bowl for Peyton Manning

The game started with the Bears returning a punt for a touchdown and lead-ing the game until the half when the Colts came out in the third quarter when something lit the Colts on fire. Peyton Manning was driving down the field every time the Colts had the ball and scoring al-most every time they had the ball. The rain started to come down a lot harder when the fourth quarter came up. The Colts only scored one more time and held the Bears to a non scoring quarter and the Colts beat the Bears 20 to 17. That would be the fourth Super Bowl trophy for Peyton Manning and he was named MVP of the Super Bowl throwing 247 yards and went 25/38 in

in his 7 years of playing in the NFL.

On the other end in the NFC, the Chicago Bears were off to a great start in their season com-ing out to a 13-3 record.

The Bears beat the Seahawks in the divisional playoff game 27 to 24 in overtime. Now the Bears had to face a hot rolling Saints team to win the NFC championship to make it to the super bowl.

The Bears came out strong beating the Saints 39 to 14 to send them to the Super Bowl.

So it was in Miami for the Colts and The Bears to face off for the Super Bowl trophy. On February 4, 2006, both the Colts and Bears were ready to play and win the match.

The team got to go to the white house to meet George

bush and hear a congrats from him and also get their

picture taken with him holding his very own colts

jersey with his name on the back.

game where the player can choose to progress all over the story as

well as do activities. Con-sisting of driving, third person shooting, some role-playing, stealth racing, the franchise fo-cuses mostly comedic satire of American culture. But as with most successful franchises it has its cons and has earned major controversy for its adult nature and violent themes. The game mostly focuses on a protagonist who does what he does to move up in ranks of the underground criminal empire or to earn re-demption and a better life.
