Hello! My name is Mia Phaneuf, I am 15 years old, and I am a sophomore at Greater Lowell Tech. I have been cheerleading since I was 7 years old. Cheerleading has been more than a passion to me all my life. Cheer is the way I express myself, and it teaches me so many valuable lessons each day. There are a few things that set me apart from others. They include effort, dedication, focus, drive, and hard work. This applies to my acemdemics as well as cheer. I always try my best to include everyone, and make them all smile. When successful, it makes the practices run much smoother. I demonstrate a lot of leadership and communication skills. I also don’t give up, and I strive for perfection in all that I do. I am a very happy and caring student athlete, and I can’t wait to see how far I go!
