One day‚ I was at my regular cheer practice‚ but this practice in particular was very difficult to get through. I was already having an off day‚ and I was so ready to go home I could barely stand it. As we were doing our final stunts‚ my mom came in to watch us. She looked really upset‚ and you could definitely tell she had been crying. I was really worried because she doesn’t really cry much. After practice‚ she looks at me and says‚ “Your uncle has leukemia.” I was in utter shock. I couldn’t even

colligate cheerleading‚ holds a “mock” sorority‚ named Cheer Phi.

ring O bells! But I with mournful tread‚ Walk the deck my Captain lies‚ Fallen cold and dead." I believe this to be the strongest point to what I said. It shows just how much the man cared for and loved his captain‚ he didn’t celebrate with the others‚ he didn’t rejoice‚ he only mourned the loss of his captain.

Freshman year my best friend and I made an impulse decision to go to the high school cheer clinic. As a way to make friends and to make both are moms happy‚ since they were both cheerleaders . After the first day of clinic we were both hooked. Cheerleading to most is full of popular girls that are selfish‚ snobby‚ and don’t have a sense of morality. But to me and my team we are nothing like that. My team is a mismatched group of girls that found a love in cheering on other sport teams. Spending upwards
