Cheering

chanting in unison, “I believe that we will win! I believe that we will win!” You can feel the energy all around. Pumping through the stands, screaming through the people around you, even pulsing through the air above your head. Every student there is cheering until their lungs can’t take it any more, and not a single person cares if they won’t be able to even speak a word tomorrow.

We all have our beloved sports like me, volleyball, softball gymnastics, and cheer are fun for me. Some efficacy like to play basketball or football some may not be sports it may be a club that you go to after school perhaps it might be a chess club or choir.

As athletes, I think we all HATE going to practices. They’re exhausting, boring, and we almost feel like we don’t really need to be there; but trust me, we do. I have been cheering since I was 5 years old and now that I have seen where it has got me today, I will never take another practice, competition, or game for granite.We have to work for everything in our lifetime and if we think it’s just going to be handed to us, we’re wrong. Every second we are able to be on that blue mat is worth it. …

I have found that no goal is too big for me. Once I set a goal, I work extremely hard to achieve it. I have been self-motivated my entire life, and have used that to reach certain goals and overall improve myself. A particular situation that I used this characteristic was to make my High School Varsity Cheer team as a freshman without any previous cheering experience.
