The Cheerleaders

red, with hints of orange and yellow for the flames to stand out. I also used hints of blue to show how intense and dangerous the flames are. The black behind the flames forces you to pay attention to the detail. The colors of the soccer ball, cheerleader, and the pizza are simply the colors of those items in real life. I drew them to represent her new hobbies and activities. Ung tried many things to help her forget her past. I use the white background as a little bubble trying to protect Ung…

Whether it's hearing a snare drum as a heartbeat in the chaos of a battle, joining together to hear a group of talented musicians play “The Stars and Stripes Forever” at a festive parade, or celebrating the midway point of a football game with an exciting display, marching bands have always brought something special and memorable to its audiences. As well as providing the audience with an engaging show, marching band also gives its participants a unique educational experience. Marching band…

not be said about dad. Most of her memories were of seeing her mom in the bleachers wearing those fundraiser buttons with Julia picture on it, she has the same of Jordan for his soccer games. However he hates it when she turns into a side line cheerleader. “Julia, do you ever think that she gets tired of coming to all of your games?” says Jordan. “No I know that Mom enjoys going to my lacrosse games way more than your boring soccer games.” retorted Julia. “What makes you think that? And…

There Brianna is up in the air, it’s all up to my stunt group to keep her up, she could fall or get hurt so it’s up to us to keep her up and make sure it looks good. It can be very hard being a base in a stunt, or even being a cheerleader. Sometimes it’s all up to you to make sure your stunt stays up, or to even make sure your routine looks perfect! This year cheering has been the most hard, because we are getting ready for competition and everything is getting super stressful. This all…

Growing up, she was just like any girl you would expect. Went to elementary school, was a cheerleader, got educated, and went to middle school and so on. Suezanne went on to finish high school, got married and surprisingly didn't go to college. What she would do after school was practice cheerleading and taught people how to cheer. But when school…

Th Some of the norms that I learned in this setting are how to stand in line, how to follow directions and meet the expectations of a classroom environment. As a cheerleader and band member I had to attend practice and work hard to help make the team look good by performing as well as I could. As a student I was responsible for doing my schoolwork and homework, following the rules, and helping teachers when needed…

I saw things very differently by the time I was voted into the student government as the President. I did not find enjoyable a recreational activity where girls played football and boys dressed as cheerleaders for entertainment as I found volunteering at a local elementary school more service efficient to the community. It is difficult when one lists the social problems that we allow in school and a majority of people reject facts that add on to issues…

countless of nights loathing in self-pity, I realized my life was becoming a lie. Before my eating disorder took control of my life, I was an upbeat young lady. Being a mere 13 years of age, I had a positive persona. I saw myself as the preppy cheerleader, honor student, whom represented her 8th grade class as Vice-President. Outer image was the least of my worries. On December 16th, 2011, thoughts of weighing myself pondered through my mind. The dreaded scale read two-hundred and…

Not everything has to be done alone. A team is a team; encouragement and support go hand in hand and one shouldn’t exist without the other. Maintain a balance of being a leader and a cheerleader. If each teammate can do this, the team will be filled of heart. Don’t be too quick to give up, family or teammates. You might surprise yourself and enjoy it or possibly appreciate something more than you already enjoyed. Don't overlook something…

Learning Something New While reflecting on a time on which i grew my brain; I am drawn to a memory, one in which I could not swim. Yes I was old enough to remember because it was not until high school that I learned how to swim, and I only learned because I wanted to become I didn't want to be embarrassed by my friends in High School. When growing up I lived in the hottest city in the hottest state; Chandler, Arizona. While there sounds like many fun water activities to do living there, I…
