“Cheer is stupid, it’s just a waste of time.” A variation of opinions attempt to discourage me. “Cheer isn’t even a sport, ya’ll don’t do anything.” Again, more people against what I love to do.

Nothing in life is ever just handed to you, and if it is it’s probably just a knitted christmas sweater from your grandma that is two sizes too small, otherwise, you’re required to work for what you want most.
