Personal Narrative: I Am Not The Perfect Cheerleader
everyone is not fit to be a cheerleader. It doesn't matter if their jumps are perfect, kicks are high, and vocals are loud. If you can be leader, manage your time promptly, and take criticism you might not have what it takes to be a cheerleader. At least not an ambitious one. I'm just going to be blunt, and say that i am not the perfect cheerleader. I say this because, i'm still learning how to take criticism from others. My very first time being judged by a cheer coach was last year. She pointed everyone of my flaws, which i truly thought was flawless. At first i wouldn't listen to her, i would've just ignored it and go on with the rest of my day. Although one day i took her advice and started practicing more and more and my cheer moves were coming semi-perfect. To be able …show more content…
My time is manage promptly, but i can't lie i wouldn't be able to do it without my mom. She makes my schedule every times there's an important event. Every event that i attend i must show up at least 10-20 minutes early. This is very helpful because i know before every football or basketball game, you have to be there at least 20 minutes early. So this would be nothing new to me. I think being part of this cheer team will show me how to be a better leader than i am today. Now i dont have the best school record, but i honestly believe if i make this team it’ll help me find who i really am. The leadership i been showing has not been the best but i am trying to change that all around. Being a baby bulldog cheerleader just might help me to take on that challenge. I am not fully fit to be a cheerleader. Everything i do is not perfect. I know it takes time and a process to be come even an average cheerleader, but i am willing to do whatever it takes to be part of this team. Taking criticism is a process, leadership and managing is time is no different, but with hard work and spirit i honestly i have what it takes to be a centennial, baby bulldog,

    The term captain is synonymous with the term leader. By definition, a leader is someone who is in an advanced position to take the initiative in order to go forth and show the way. A dance captain should be able to make intelligent and creative decisions quickly and efficiently. Being a dance team captain for the Mighty Marching Lions has so much more to do with choreography and precision. Because we are a part of a Christian marching band, our purpose and our duty to fulfill that purpose is ten times greater than that of a traditional marching band. Without God, we would not have this grand opportunity and because of that we have to do things differently than the world would. We as band members are all working towards a goal which is ministering and showing the world the power of youth through the will of God.…

    For the past four years, I’ve been captain of my all-star cheerleading team. My teammates are a diverse group of girls, ranging from ten to seventeen years old. Working with a large age group has made me a more patient person. It takes more time and effort to answer a ten-year-old’s question, than a question from a fifteen or sixteen-year-old. I also must be willing to take my time when explaining parts of routines, because everyone learns and understands at different speeds and levels. Along with this patience, I have developed an ability to comfort people. Younger team members often become frustrated by challenging tumbling passes and stunts, when this happens I intervene. I comfort them by providing much needed aid, not solving the problem…

    My partner of eleven years is my greatest cheerleader. When I feel overwhelmed and depressed she gives me encouragement to conquer every challenge I’m faced with. In addition to my partner, another influential person in my life is a co-worker and friend. She fills the maternal role that is absent in my life, by giving me advice, different perspectives, and confidence. My career plays a vital role in my resilience, it gives me cause to wake up and achieve greatness each day. The children I work with inspire me to be a better educator, nurturer, and caregiver. When I am feeling depressed nothing lifts my spirits speedier, than my students. I believe it is a gift to have the availability to focus on constructing children’s strengths, rather than…

    Most people say cheerleading is not a sport, but to me it is. It all began when I was four years old and my mom signed me up to cheer for the Harrisburg Packers. I was nervous at first, but then it turned out to be a lot of fun. Everyone on the team was tall except for me and one other girl. Her name was Tatum. The first thing I thought was that I was going to get picked on by all the other girls because I was so little and shy, but it turned out to be totally different.…

    You should tryout for cheerleading because you could do pyramids, tumbling, and dance. At tryouts you show-off the best you can to impress the coach. Here are some tips on how to impress the instructor/coach: If you are instructed to do a prep after learning it, do it the smoothest you can while going up. The second tip is about tumbling, you have to practice with a coach a few times while learning a new skill. For example, with a standing back tuck you have to swing your arms back, jump, and tuck and mid-air.…

    When the word "cheerleader" comes to mind, many think of skinny blondes shouting "go team" while waving pom-poms in the air in short and skimpy shorts. Well, its true. All cheerleaders are meant to do is help get the fans more into the basketball and football game. So, what's the purpose of these dumb blondes? Absolutely nothing. To make it onto this squad you need only a few credentials: you must be close to failing (actually failing will get you kicked off by the administration), dye your hair blonde, wear your skirt half way up your ass, and have a positive eating disorder (any to make you skinny). With these few qualifications, your chances for being a part of this team are great. So, why doesn't everyone start failing and throwing up their food? Being a cheerleading is an instant access key to popularity. I mean, who doesn't like cheerleaders? Their easy to get into bed with, their stupid so you can walk all over them, and they have good bodies because they don't eat.…

    There are good decisions and there are bad decisions, it is up to the person deciding to debate on which side of the line their decision falls on. It just so happens, the choice I made in 2013 was one of the best, most important decisions in my entire life. In the spring of my sophomore year, I decided that I wanted to try out for competitive cheerleading. The question here is, “how did cheerleading change my life?” Well, thinking back to that year, I was in a dark place and I could not find hope anywhere, no matter how hard I searched. In the time spent cheering I found confidence, my best friend, and a reason to live.…

    I am a strong team player and where necessary I have taken a back seat allowing more capable members to take the leadership role. For example in the Indian dance team, of which I have been an active member for six years, I contribute primarily as a dancer. Choreography, which is the imperative requirement for a team leader is not my forte and hence I contribute as a participant and I manage the budget or welfare. However this does not limit me from contributing to the team in terms of creative dance moves or stage management. I am open to criticism and consider it essential to share something, which might bring out a better performance. I also encourage the team and organize social events to create opportunity for the team to get to know each other beyond the work…

    Regardless of the cliques, you always make sure everyone is included in a fair way, even if that means taking a spot you’d rather not have just so that somebody has a spot at all. You make the team fair by ignoring how high of a level someone is on world cup and focusing on who is actually trying to do their best. You’re always putting a smile on someone's face with your down to earth, funny personality. You balance coaching a peewee team, being captain, and high school/college so well that you make it look easy, you prove that it can be managed. You’re always trying to make this team fun and you have no idea how awesome that is for all the girls afraid to speak up.This team is losing a truly amazing teammate, friends, and captain. I hope that next year's seniors will follow in your footsteps in everything that you do. Thank you for being one of the only people who made me feel welcome on my first…
