meaningful to me is cheerleading. I have been a cheerleader for as long as I can remember. Cheerleading‚ over the years‚ has become a very important part of my life. Through cheerleading I have learned the values of hard work and being a part of a team.

After 14 years of marriage it has come to my attention that I must make a change in my employment. After working nights for almost 15 years at the same company‚ I must now take a position working during the day‚ due to the lack of supervision available to my children.

I have played sports my whole life since I was just a young kid. Sports have taught me so much in life and have really helped to make me a better person.
