You’d like after watching cheerleading movies daily since I could walk and doing cartwheels and splits, and much different cheer moves all day I’d be some good. Well, that was not quite the case. Although I wasn’t terrible I cheered for minor leagues in my younger years. Somehow things changed in middle school I didn’t make the team. Failure wasn’t the word for how I was feeling it was like my heart was breaking. This experience changed many things for me, looking at failure in a different way.

Thinking as if I wasn’t good enough, with the help of my mother and many others I realized that wouldn’t be
the first time something like that would happen, I just had to work harder. One thing I learned was never give up work for what you want. I took that chance and made myself better.

There was no other choice for me than to make the team the next season I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Next season came and I showed them their team needed me. I was the shortest one but somehow stood the tallest. I was the center of attention my presence had to be recognized.

I didn’t want to experience failure again, however, I am no sore loser, anytime I lose I pick myself up and work harder. Working extremely hard lead me to where I am today. I am a senior varsity cheerleader, I have been on varsity since my sophomore year. I have received the captain's , highest grade point average and most valuable player awards. Making sure that I have a spot on the team each year. Setting goals and working to achieve them. I am no failure, I strive for the best, I hope to never fail again but if there is a point where I do failure I will pick myself back hard and try again. Giving up is no option for me.
