A Letter To The Michigan Center Cheerleaders
Lawanna Simpkins

It is safe to say you guys cheer for a program with a long history of success that has never been given, but in every right earned. This program has been built up with hard work from your coaches and each and every cheerleader that has walked through the program. I wanted to let you all know why you mean so much to me.



I first want to start off by saying I love supporting you guys because my sister is on the team but also want to let you know that I love supporting all of you guys as well. The reason I love supporting you guys is because I see how hard you work every day, and it truly reflects on how you guys carry yourselves. I am proud to say I graduated from Michigan Center because of you guys. You guys carry a lot of pride, support, and love in the community and not everyone realizes that. It makes me proud to wake up every Saturday and support you guys on the mat where ever you're cheering that morning.

I can not wait to see how far you guys come this year. I know you have potential and want to remind you that we have support backing you guys in the stands. I know we lost a big part of our cheer section with Eric not being at every competition but I want you all to know I'm going to do my best to take over when he is not there and keep the energy alive. I strongly believe you guys deserve all the energy and support in the stands, and it is my goal to keep the energy up. It makes me happy to see you guys so happy, encouraged, and energetic before you take the mat, something I don't see in other teams. This is why I don't mind being that "Crazy Cheer Brother" as other parents call me. They should call me "The Proud Cheer Brother " because I love cheering for all my sisters on the team.


As this season goes along, I want you all to keep a few things in mind. This season is your season, do not let anyone or anything stop you from what you deserve. There are people who are doubting you and don't believe in you, and I want you to use this as fuel to the burning fire, that you all have to achieve your goal. People are going to talk because a lot of teams want to be like you, but don't realize it comes with tradition, hard work, and passion, and is not just given right away. Carry yourselves with pride. Wear those Michigan Center uniforms with honor and be humble to every team that you will compete against because it is the right thing to do, even if it may be hard. I love you guys and I will be in the crowd supporting you every step of the way.

Love Ced

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
