I decided to do cheer on a whim. I was going through something from the beginning of the 2023 and wanted to try something different from my usual sport of track. At first I was not going to go through with it at all and my friends encouraged me to their best ability, even helping me go over the try out material days before. When I made the Junior varsity team I was disappointed in myself and thought about quitting. I'm incredibly thankful I didn't. it has made me incredibly happy and brought an excitement into my life I thought I would never find. From our stunts to preforming in front of the crowds with my team, it all has been an amazing experience. I wish I would have decided to do cheer in my freshman year, but I'm glad I did it at all. I am hoping that I will be able to continue this part of my life into college.
