I have been cheering since the age of 10. Cheer has taught me many life lessons. I have learned the importance of teamwork, respect/compassion for others, time management, drive to attain life goals, humor while pushing through physical pains, overcoming injuries, celebrating wins, loosing gracefully and simply the feeling of fulfillment at the end of the day. I broke my ankle doing the sport that I love and with dedication and determination came back and continued to do what I love. I could not imagine my life without this sport and all of the rewards that come along with it. I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to join a college cheer program that will continue to push and lead me through my college journey.
