Personal Narrative-A Varsity Cheer Team

Improved Essays
While in middle school every young girl’s dream was to be on the varsity cheer team. While the last week in September we started trying out. I swear that whole week I felt sick and could not eat anything unless I wanted it to come right back up! After school we went straight to practice until 5:30. The older cheerleaders took this to heart and got so mad at us when we started joking around. While we was sitting in this little class room about to sweat to death we wait until our coaches tell us what to do. Everyone looked up to these coaches for some reason and I wanted to find out why. While we was sitting in this meeting talking about what we need for tryouts I started getting sick and thinking to myself who was going to make this team.

During that week we learned it they told us we needed to us our man voices and to be so sharp. 5,6,7,8, the cheer was called. “W-O-L-V-E-S Woodruff Wolves the Best.” After the cheer I thought my voice box has exploded. Standing there letting them get that one last look I felt like I did all I could do to make this

    Cheerleading Tryouts “Come on Lauren you’ve been doing this way too long, you’ve been on the team every year since you were 14.” I said to myself as I walk through the halls of my High School.

    At some point in every person's life, they will have a special experience that will stick with them forever. One of my most memorable moments happened recently at a home volleyball game against Traverse City West. Approaching freshman volleyball season, the upperclassman spoke highly of the importance of overpowering TC West. As a ninth grader, I had the mindset that I would be playing for the freshmen team. I didn't think it really mattered what the outcome of the game would be, since we were only ninth graders.…
