This is me when I win the Hunger Games.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be in the midst of the Cornucopia afraid of the death staring you in the face? How would it be to experience what Katniss Everdeen did? You’d be likely to survive if you were me.

If I had to place a betting odd on someone I would place it on myself! First of all, I have been a fan of the Hunger Games franchise since I was born, and I know every trick used to win. I think we can all agree that Peeta had little skill, besides five minute crafting himself into a rock, but he still played the game very cleverly.

I have compiled the perfect way to win. It was very apparent that Peeta’s humor set him apart from the crowd. People fell in love with this heartthrob because he was likable and funny. I would adjust my personality and crack out all of my best jokes. Even if I am ugly in the eyes of the beholder, people will like me because they relate to the funny odd looking girl.

“I do not think you would win the Hunger Games, In fact I think it’s likely you would be the first one dead,” said junior Ivy Chi.

Here’s why she’s wrong! I think people count me out because I am not athletic and I can’t run, but these factors don’t technically mean you are a natural winner. It’s shown that survival skills are a better indicator of winning in the Hunger Games. Killing might get you far in the beginning, but when it counts most people died because they couldn’t hunt for food or get water. The lack of nutrients and natural survival ability is what killed them. 

I have these skills as I was in Girl Scout until nine and I once sold Girl Scout Cookies outside of the post office in a snowstorm. I have training for survival. I also am humble and can admit that I am super un-athletic. Haymitch himself said that a Career’s ego is what usually gets in his or her way of winning the game. I am aware that I have two left feet so I will be conscious of my lack of ability to run or swim and I will be smarter about things.

“There’s no way you would win,” said history and psychology teacher, Jeremy Kittek.

His lack of belief is fuel to my fire! I would win because I have something to prove. I have yet to find my niche, so it’s very plausible that winning the Hunger Games and proving my comrades wrong is what I was destined to do, like Katniss when she felt a connection to the forest, she was destined. I would also stay out of the Cornucopia because statistically 50% of all tributes die in the Cornucopia. This gives me a 1/12 odds, which is not bad for someone as skilled as I am. I would then get supplies and materials from people who are dead to keep from being killed by the more skilled people.

I also have innate abilities and skills such as not making a fire to give away my spot, having a nice, insulated windbreaker for the cold nights, and also, if needed, painting myself as a rock. 

Finally, if needed I’m not against dating President Snow to make sure I never get put in an arena. In the new movie the young President Snow is pretty hot, and that old fart in his death ages spends so much time out back with his roses that it doesn’t seem like that awful of a commitment to make, if it means I get to live. 

In conclusion, may the odds be ever in your favor, because good luck is on my side me. I’m going to be the 75th Victor of the hunger games, if they ever come back.
