    I have played baseball ever since I was a young kid, but somehow, at seventeen I still had numerous struggles with it. You would think after my grandpa being drafted to the Pittsburgh Pirates, a Major League baseball team, and my dad getting a full ride to the University of Denver their skill would have rubbed off on me, but you would be wrong. I wasn't terrible, I could hit a 90 mile per hour fastball and I could, for the most part, field a ground ball. However, I was definitely not about to be scouted by the college scouts.…

    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.…

    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. Today is May 24, the first day of the annual cheerleading try outs and for some reason I’m extremely nervous even though I’m a three year veteran. I go through my classes talking to all my other cheer friends saying how this is going to be a breeze and how we can’t wait to start the season even though my stomach is literally overwhelmed with butterflies. DING DING DING!!!…

    People always have many different opinions about cheerleaders; some good and some bad. Some think of them as the girls in skirts that just stand on the sidelines on Friday nights, but to me, cheerleading is so much more. Cheerleading is a way to show your support for the team being cheered on and spirit for your school, all while setting an outstanding example for everyone else within the community. I believe our squad holds enough potential to be one of the best squads to ever filter through Robertsdale High School; I would love nothing more than to be able to help guide this group of girls in the right direction and push our squad to be the best we can be. After cheering for the past 4 years—two of which I have been on Varsity, including a year of competitive cheer—I have learned multiple lessons and have thought long and hard about how I would work to change or improve certain things if I was captain.…
