Cheerleading Is Perfect

I can't say I am perfect at what I do, which is cheerleading, but I do consider them one of my talents and skills. I also have a strong passion for it. I started cheering in the 6th grade, and it has been the only sport I have ever done. My first day of cheer, I was completely lost at everything and I had the word “flyer” thrown at me, which I had no clue of what to do. I was put to do the basic stunts, I didn't really know what I was doing, but I slowly learned throughout the first season. Even if I can't get a stunt, I know that practice makes perfect and it will take just more tries. At the worse times where my stunt group and I couldn't get things right, we just make sure to relax and ask others for help, make sure everyone is doing their
job right. I am a perfectionist so I get really stressed when I am not able to get something. My skills were not earned overnight, it took long days of practice and stretching to be where I am at today. I have demonstrated my skills at games and competitions, I have made a few mistakes here and there, but I need to understand that mistakes happen. Although I have had times where I think I have worked really hard and my coaches in the past did not credit me in that. My stunt group would work extremely hard to be able to get a spot in the front while stunting, but unfortunately we never really got it. We would hit everything perfectly but instead of being moved to the front, we would get our stunts changed to easier ones because the other stunts in the back couldn't get it. It was unfair, but this year we have new coaches and they do their best to treat everyone the same. This year is different, and I am really excited to keep on learning new stunts and techniques.
