It was awesome when my sister’s cheer team Synergy got first place at her cheer competition and won a trip to Orlando, Florida. Then we went to The Mall of America and went to the amusement park and road rides. Then later we went to dinner with all the girls on the cheer team at Dicks Last Resort, i would recommend going here if you're ever at The Mall of America. For the reasons above this trip to The Mall of America was totally amazing.
Look around the room ,do you see anyone who looks the same?You shouldn’t, no one is the same. The things about me are different from many other people I like to dance, I love vegetables, and I I also hate liars. The first thing you need know about be is that I’m a dancer. I am really competitive dancer. I have been competing since last year and ever since then I’ve been pushed.
In life, even though we are told not to do so, a lot of us “count our chickens before they hatch”. We make assumptions on things before they happen because we believe that if something seems so likely, it will happen. Well, that is what my Liberty High School cross country team did my sophomore year. Going into the year, we not only knew we were going to be strong, we thought other teams were going to be weak. The top teams from the state finals the previous year had all lost most of their key pieces.
It was the moment I had been practicing for. I was finally going to try out for my middle school cheer team and hopefully make it. I was so excited I could barely focus on my classes that day. I had run through all of the steps at least 50 times that day. I had always wanted to do cheerleading and this was my moment to do it.
This summer, I had to turn my back on something that has been close with me since I was eight. My dance studio closed, I had been going there since I was eight. To be honest, when I first started, I was terrible. But weren’t we all when we first started the sport that we loved? Six years later, I am still dancing and even more than I had when I first started.
James just moved into an apartment in the south end of town with his mom because his dad had left them. It had been a week since he moved in, and tomorrow would be the first day of school. He had mixed emotions; he was nervous because he would be the new kid at school, but he was excited because the school that he would be going to had a great football team. It had been three weeks since James started going to his new school. They just posted that football try-outs would be next Monday.
When i was a little i was going to gymnastics and i see and smell the sweat from how hard the cheerleaders where working and doing there routine and i asked my mom "can i do that" and she said "of course". That was when i was four years young and it has been a long and great exprience.
Throughout my Life and high school career I have spent many hours with teachers and coaches. I have had many experiences, but the one that stands out most to me is my former cheerleading coach and gym teacher, Ms. Traska. She coached our team with no background in cheerleading. She brought us closer as a team and being part of this team has made a difference in my life. The two years that Ms. Traska coached were the most fun, productive, and memorable years that I have been on the team.
I was waiting for my turn to go out into the gym and tryout for the school cheerleading team. I don’t think I have ever been that nervous before. The girl that was in front of me was coming back from the gym, and it was now my turn. I was going to try out for the school cheer squad. I have never done cheer before so it was nerve-racking.
I will bring many things to the campus. I am very hardworking, determined, and a team player. As a four year member of my high school Cross Country team, I have learned how to work to better myself and how to also work as part of a team. I learned how to push myself and to stretch to reach to my goals as a person, and to help push and encourage my teammates to reach the team’s goals. My friendly and pleasant personality allowed me to succeed in a leadership role as one of the two seniors on our team, working with my teammates.
I have been cheering for five years now. I can not remember the times when I was not a cheerleader, it is hard to imagine myself doing anything other than cheer or simply not cheering at all. I fell in love with the sport and within time, my passion towards it grew even more. Cheerleading consumed my life, it was my only focus. I was fortunate enough to grow up with coaches that pushed me to reach limits I did not even know I had, as well as teammates whom I shared the same passion towards the sport with.
This I Am I believe that competitive cheerleading taught me how to believe in myself. I couldn’t count how many times I have told myself that I could not do something. When I was twelve-years old I took up a love for competitive cheerleading. Every time I told myself I couldn’t do something, I wouldn’t even try.
The lights were blinding. The crowd was waiting anxiously. I sat quietly, while my heart raced at a thousand miles per second. I was in Dallas, Texas, on a cold February day. There was almost an inch of fading snow on the ground and the whole city was in panic.
It was a sunny August evening when it happened. After several months of grieving the departure of my beloved dance teacher I had finally figured out how I was going to move on, I was going to move to a new dance studio and start over. Everything seemed to be falling into place, All I had left to do was tell my best friend and former teammate, I brought it up as we were sitting in a quiet little park by my house. I was expecting her to understand that this was something I needed to do for me and that it wasn’t anything personal. Based on the screaming match that followed soon after I broke the news I’d say that I was a little bit off the mark on that assumption.
Hi, I am Quinn Baumgartner and I am very excited to be apart of the tryout process for the next PHS Cheerleaders. I plan on supporting the cheerleading program as described in the informational packet by being organized, responsible, respectful, using leadership, and being kind to everyone. Whenever I will miss a game or a bus, have a family emergency, or am sick I will always call, text, email, and notify the coach as soon as possible. And I will always and forever use my kindness and leadership towards others. I would like to see a lot of team bonding with the PHS Cheerleaders.
