The day I found out I made the Banners team was the day my lifestyle changed. I now practice four hours a day on weekdays and six hours on the weekends. I am never home and when I am you can find me in my room finishing homework or trying to catch up on rest. In the beginning ,I felt overwhelmed and frustrated. I even considered quitting because of how physically exhausted I was. But I couldn’t just give up ! I had a strong bond with my teammates. Plus I loved performing because it gave me a rush of excitement and adrenaline throughout my body. Being on this team has taught me that I am capable of achieving anything I set my mind to and that I can be a leader. Whenever the captain and co-captain were not able to make it to practice I was the

The Thursday night lights beamed down on me as kickoff approached. It was the last game of the 8th grade football season and the last chance to make my mark on a personally rather ordinary season. We were playing Celina, a team known to be a powerful opponent. I was on the kickoff return team, playing on the far left side of the field and on that particular night we were set to receive the kick. The referee’s whistle pierced the warm and soundless autumn air.

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.

I felt like I didn't stand out anymore. Every time I got an opportunity to play I would seize the occasion and show out. For some reason this wasn't enough to show the coaches how good I am. I was tired of putting in so much work to be benched behind the coaches “favorites”.

The home football team was expected to win on Friday night, through the whole first half they were up 41-0. The coaches warned the players to keep their mind focused on the game until the very end. Ignoring their coaches advice, during halftime they laughed and joked around in the locker room assuming they had already won the game. However, during the second half of the game the visiting team that was down by 41 points came back and tied up the game leaving fans of both teams biting their finger nails in suspense as the two tams battled it out.

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.

The pressure was on the other seniors and me to try harder to make our last competition count and finally receive that state qualifying superior rating. After a stressful week of practice, I called the other six seniors together and we finally came up for a plan to change the attitude of the entire band before it was too late. My plan was that if we became a family, the way we were in past years, we would be inspired to work our best, not only to benefit ourselves but also to benefit each other. And the plan worked, that week the other seniors and I worked hard to be role models for everyone, and raise morale.

I could never imagine my life without the sport of cheerleading. Cheer has taught me not only determination, but how to balance everything, from school to managing high grades. I decided to join my first allstar cheerleading team, at Midwest Cheer Elite, in 2012. When I first joined, I based on a youth level 2 team, and with the help of my coaches and supportive athletes, I was able to fly on a senior 5 team, my last year. I decided to take a break from allstar cheer, because I missed being involved in

Once I would dig deep and find faith that everything was going to get better, I was able to overcome the challenges I was facing. I was still going to my team’s games and practices. This had a toll on me mentally, because it made me want to get back playing sooner than I was able to. I would surround myself

What they don’t see are the falls, bruises, mess-ups, and arguments. I am so glad that they all convinced me to stay because when all is said and done, they are my second family. I have grown up cheering with most of the girls, and we have all watched each other mature and grow as individuals and cheerleaders. Somewhere along the way, we lost sight of what teamwork is, but we found that again and implemented it throughout the rest of our season. I will be so sad to leave this final season because I have learned so much from everyone on my team.
