The Importance Of Being A Cheerleader

Decent Essays
We should have Middle School cheerleaders, to at least try the sport. Most schools have cheerleaders to represent their schools, so we should be able to do the same. Boys or girls could join because some people find cheer intriguing or fun. We need to show Middle School Falcon pride other than wearing shirts and going to games.
If we had cheerleaders, we could make the athletes more determined to have fun while playing their most favorite sports. Also, we’re supposed to wait until High School to try out for cheer, but I’ve always wanted to be a cheerleader because I have always thought it would be fun. But, I don’t think that only our High School should have them because people don’t think it’s very fair to the Middle School students of West

    The town that I grew up in is known for being a very diverse town – the high school that I graduated from back in Clifton, New Jersey, had around 3,300 students enrolled from many different backgrounds, races, nationalities, class, and religions. Walking through the hallway of Clifton High School one would hear many different languages and see many people who look exceptionally different from one another. Because the high school had many students from different backgrounds and wanted the students to be well aware and accepting of this, the school offered various clubs and organizations such as: sports teams, French, Spanish, and Italian clubs, a cheerleading team, and even a pep band. These clubs and organizations allowed many students of different…

    Many stereotypes that I have about cheerleaders have been ingrained into my mind by the media, and from personal experience. From what I had observed in high school, cheerleaders are the “in crowd”. They are the popular girls, and only associate with each other. Not only do cheerleaders seem popular, but they’ve always struck me as a very promiscuous and nasty group of girls.…

I was just a little girl being bullied for having a blanket and sucking my thumb in first grade. Always left out and being told I would never amount to much, took a big toll on my grades. All throughout elementary school I was in the “special” classes.…

    Since a very young age, I have had an interest in, and enjoyed caring for others when they are sick or injured. During my Freshman year of high school, I began to realize that the medical field was my calling. I was not sure what area of study I wanted to pursue a career in, but I knew that I had an affinity for the sciences and the medical field. It wasn't until two years later, my Junior year, that radiography became the area of the medical field that I knew I wanted to concentrate on. I have been a cheerleader since third grade.…

    In high school, you see the soccer players, the football players, the track team and many other sports teams on the football field. On the court you see volleyball players and basketball players playing as "sports teams", but you never hear of the other team in their bows and skirts being referred to as a sports team. That's because cheerleading hasn't made its way to be a sport yet. While people might think that they don't compete or that they just yell and smile, they do much more like competing, supporting, jumping, tumbling, stunting and so many other things. Cheerleaders deserve the right to have their activity made a sport because they meet the criteria of the definition of sport, they're very similar to other athletes, and they're required to meet the same expectations as every other sports team.…

    Over 66 percent of girls high school injuries are accounted from cheerleading. Just like other sports, cheerleaders must go through concussion testing. Jeannie Bennitz, Lafayette cheer coach, says, “With the amount of training that they have to do and the level of activities that they do now, it really should be a sport.” Captain on the cheer team, Emily Fauver, expresses her feelings by saying, “We work just as hard as other sports do. We do a lot of conditioning and stuff; we lift humans.”…

    Cheerleading has always been a very important aspect to my life. In high school our cheerleading squad had an experience that proved cheerleaders do not get the respect from other athletes that they deserve. As a cheerleading squad, we were at every football and basketball game, even the away games. We were there to show support for our fellow athletes, however when our squad was in a cheerleading competition, not one of the other athletes came in support of us. This showed the lack of respect other athletes had for our cheerleading squad.…
