Examples Of Being A Tomboy

Being the tomboy I was as a child, I never saw myself becoming a cheerleader. That moment my feet hit the mats something had changed in me. I was not the shy girl anymore. The experience I had in those short months would change my life forever. I learned to be a leader, to contribute to my city, and most of all I learned a great deal about myself and how I want to pursue my future. Being a leader can be hard and you have to work hard, however it comes with good repercussions. First of all you learn a lot of responsibilities with being a leader. Such as hearing what your peers have to say. An example is we always set up the homecoming dance, and so to do that you have to hear what people wanted as the theme. Another illustration of being a leader is showing people the right path to go. One way we showed people that were by volunteering.
Volunteering is something we did lots in cheerleading.
It’s also such a good feeling knowing you did something for someone out of the kindness of your heart. Without going out in my community and working I would have never met the heaps of people I met either. I wouldn’t have additionally had the opportunities either to volunteer. For example, I had never gone to Relay for Life before. Each year our cheer team goes to Relay to help set up the luminaries and set them all around the track. I too got to have some fun and cheer on the walkers! Overall it was a great experience and I helped out a great cause. Relay also gave me a chance to learn how to save money, and by doing so I saved around $200 dollars for the cause. Being a cheerleader gave me insight on what kind of a person I was
moreover. We wear the same outfits and do our hair the same, but we have completely unique personalities. Cheering gave me this voice I never had before. I was never afraid to be loud after this experience. That really comes in handy now when I need to get someone’s attention. My future was also something I never thought about until I joined this team of girls. They are all very supportive and helpful, especially when it got down to what majors I thought about for college. Before cheerleading I honestly didn’t know if I would continue my education after high school. On the other hand since I had to juggle a sport, a job, and 7 classes I realized I could do anything I set my heart to. It was not a sport to me, it was a learning experience. It taught me to be a leader, to contribute to my community, pursuing my future, and learning about myself. Being a cheerleader was very educational for me. But most importantly, I had an immense time doing it.
