Hello my name is Sophia but I go by Sophie. I have been cheering for about 12 years now and have been in love with it ever since I started. While I have flown all my life, I do try to keep up my tumbling skills but I prefer stunting more. I love learning new skills and new stunts. I always try to push myself to my limit and further to better myself for my team.
My current high school does not have a high school cheer team but it made me realize I wanted to pursue cheerleading more in college. Because I wasn’t able to do cheer as a part of my school, I had to take up cheer during the evening. While this was difficult at first, I think that this improved my self advocacy skills, which has been really helpful for my high school academics. I plan to continue this advocacy in college, as I now know that I am my biggest advocate.
Through this self advocacy I realized that even though school can be difficult, I love to learn new things. I do not only want to be a great cheerleader I want to work towards being a student. Along with cheer, I plan on going into marketing and communications field, and will major in something that complements this.
