Stand Up

I chose to talk about the non-profit organization called Cole's Warriors. Click here to go to the Cole's Warriors website and read about Cole and his story. Cole was just a teenager with a great personality and spirit. In Tecumseh High School someone had brought prescription pills and gave them to Cole. He took that one pill and it took his life the next day. Instead of the family mourning and letting it pass, they took initiation and made this non-profit organization to teach teenagers that their lives can be taken by one little pill if you are not careful. You can get free drug test and the only people who will find out is you and your guardians. I am very proud and passionate about this group because it can change so many lives. Cole was a good friend to me and if I won a million dollars then I would put it all towards this. One pill, one time, no second chances.

Journal: From Katniss' Eyes

What is the meaning of the life I live now? I don't feel the same at all. I have to get ready for the tours but I really don't want to because I don't want to have to look at the mourning families of those whose children I have killed. I also don't want to have to act like I am Peeta's lover again because I am pretty sure he hates me right now. I am so confused with my emotions. Hunting with Gale is almost not the same anymore because we only get to hunt on Sundays and even then we can hardly tell each other anything. But every now and then we tell each other about the times we had in each of our lives when we were apart. This is the life I live now though: Peeta and I are "star crossed lovers", Gale works on the mines, I am a big celebrity, and my mother and Prim are living in a nicer house. Speaking of my mother, I walked in the house today from hunting and her face was white as a cloud. This is when I knew something was wrong. I am so confused because she is trying to act as normal as possible and then she says I have a visitor. A man from the capitol walks from behind her and guides me to the study room where Prim does her homework. I am, at this point, scared of what is waiting for me behind the closed doors. It could be anyone. Maybe someone was sent from the capitol to come arrest me for defying the capitol in the games. As the door is opening my mind is racing and then all of a sudden my heart drops. There standing behind the desk is the one person I fear the most with his snake like eyes. President Snow is looking at me as I walk through the door and my mind is asking, "What is going to happen now?"
