    I guess this is the time everyone sits down and writes about why they deserve to go to Clarion University; along with all of their amazing achievements. However, I like to be a little different. It had been a hard year after breaking my arm and having to attend physical therapy. There was not a lot that I could do after that. The doctor said no driving, no jumping, no heavy lifting, and of course not a lot of cheerleading. I sat in silence as I watched my spot in the routine get replaced, it…
