Being a cheerleader for my high school is an amazing experience for me. We as a squad worked extremely hard every day to support our school during school events. We always try our hardest to be great role models and example of a well-rounded student at our school. Being a part of a school activity such as cheerleading makes you more confident; you meet so many new people and develop friendships that will often last a lifetime. The squad becomes your second family, and together, the team grows and matures, developing life skills that will benefit each cheerleader forever. Cheerleading has evolved over the years from an extra-curricular activity with the purpose of motivating spectators to an intense, competitive activity. A cheerleader must be energetic, optimistic, and composed as the anticipation increases throughout the competition season, teams must continue to pull together and encourage one another in order to achieve the shared goal of a championship. Not only is it extremely demanding physically, but it's time consuming and requires the exact coordination of twenty or more girls. It keeps you fit, healthy, strong, flexible and strong. During the many hours spent in the gym perfecting routines, stunts, and tumbling, I developed characteristics that are not only important in cheerleading but also in life. An important trait of any squad member is to be a person of good character. The sport of cheerleading teaches me hard work, perseverance, competitiveness, and teamwork. Plus, the underlying qualities of a cheerleader, friendliness, optimism, respectfulness, and responsibility are all skills that will benefit me in the future. I love every moment of being on the cheer squad, it is one of the best parts of being a high school student in supporting your school the best way ever.
