Getting the phone call that I had just been selected, as the cheer captain of my freshmen cheerleading team was probably one of my favorite high school memories. Cheerleading was something I actively participated in since I was in diapers. I guess you could say I loved being a cheerleader. As the new school year started and I was labeled the ‘cheer captain’ I immediately felt jealousy from my teammates. I was no longer someone they admired but someone they rejected. My teammates no longer had appreciation for me. Everything I did was sabotaged into hurting my feelings and even me. Everyone thought I was higher up on the social scale than I even did. Being cheer captain one of my jobs was to lead the team during practice and football games.
In this organization I can contribute by showing my full potential I’m a very hardworking and determined person, I will help by being focused and assertive with everything I do. I have learned a lot from being the co-captain of the jv cheerleading team last winter and also being the captain for the jv cheerleading team this season, I have learned that communication is the key to all success and that if you don’t communicate things will become more difficult for you and your peers around you. Another thing I’ve learned is to adapt to change quickly and that any change that you or others make can be for tthe greater good of you and them, during last season of me being co-captain i learned to persevere through anything that i find hard and I
I’m the tuba section leader in the Pride of Broken Arrow (my high school marching band) for my junior and senior year and i’m also a leading and active member at my church, especially in the youth group. Doing those things are very important to me because they gave me some leading experience early on in my adulthood that many people don't get until college or after they start working.
High school cheerleading is where all the fun begins, it includes pep rallies, Friday night games, summer camp, homecoming, and so many other fun activities to look forward to. With the hard work everyone has put in, this season will be one of the best. All throughout summer the MHS cheer squads have put nonstop work into perfecting everything from stunts to halftime routines.
Being a Redkin at Chowchilla Union High School was full of great memories with even greater people. All four years at this school were amazing, but senior year was my favorite. When senior year first started I was playing tennis with a team that had a lot of potential. It was my second year playing as the number one singles and at the number one doubles spot with my partner Amy. While season was in progress homecoming was coming up and I was nominated to run for homecoming queen. On the big game day I wore an aqua dress, everyone said I looked like The Little Mermaid, the sprinklers even shot out behind me. I was nervous as well as all the other nominees. After Cooper Seals got called and crowned homecoming queen they announced my name. I
With a new season, brings change, and change brings new positions. This year Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors with one year of varsity cheer experience, were given the opportunity to try out for cheer officer or captain. With this being my fifth year of obtaining cheerleading experience, I decided to try out for three positions which were Captain, Chaplin, and Social Secretary, confident in achieving my goal of one.
I have exemplified leadership in a couple different ways through out my high school career. One way of this is through leading my team members in cheerleading. I look out for my new team members, especially since they are learning a lot of new material. This can be stressful and difficult at times. I know this feeling since I was once brand new to the Mason Cheerleading Program and didn’t know any of the material. If I
I used to be a cheerleader. When I think of cheerleading I think of it as leading the students and players to win and try harder. Being a leader means to take responsibilities and lead the crowed in a positive way. When I was a cheerleader it meant so much to me to lead the crowd and other future cheerleaders and kids that look up to all of the current cheerleaders.
Last year, I was a part of the freshman cheerleading team at Eureka High School. I had been cheerleading since elementary school, so I was overjoyed to be accepted onto the high school team. Being a cheerleader taught me a variety of lessons that will remain valuable throughout my life. The most meaningful aspect of cheerleading is leadership, and being apart of the team allowed me to expand my skills as a leader. When I first joined the squad, I was timid and often allowed others lead the way.
Being a cheerleader to me isn’t just about cheering on the football or basketball team. Cheerleading is more than that. Cheerleading is a group of girls who have the passion and the trust with each other to catch them and trust that they will do their part. Cheerleading are being a family and not being able to have your own space. Priorities of cheerleading are; making your toes pointed, having a good attitude, making great facial expressions, and having those little girls that look up to you, have a great role model. These are just some reasons why I love to
Growing up, I did cheerleading ever since I could walk. Firstly, I participated in recreation Cheer at the age of 4! Of course, cheer at the age of four is nothing compared to college cheer, but it was my passion that drove me towards it. I enjoyed rallying up the crowd and shouting chants to cheer on my fellow team mates. Being able to make people smile and add spirit to the sporting events, made me feel accomplished.
At Glidden-Ralston the elementary kids look up to the high school kids. I have good leadership skills by being a good role model for the elementary kids. I also have shown leadership by doing sports. For swim team, I have been an assistant coach since I turned 15. At practice, I help the head coach teach the little kids what to do. I have to show the younger kids what do to, and teach them how to do things right.
Becoming a cheerleader at such a young age, being on the cheer mat became a happy place for me. I spent thirteen out of my eighteen years of my life cheerleading and it is definitely something that means a lot to me. Being on the cheer mat whether at practice or at competition has taught me many life lessons that I will cherish for the rest of my life. Having such caring and dedicated coaches made my experience so special and unique. My passion for cheerleading shows tremendously as soon as I step on the mat, and learning many life lessons from cheer has shaped me into the person I am today.
My most memorable school experience, revolves around the extracurricular of being a cheerleader. Being able to have the opportunity to thrive in school spirit and to be able to build lifelong friendships has allowed me to cherish my high school experience. Even though being a cheerleader consists of many responsibilities and events; my most favored school experience is being a part of the schools organized pep rallies. Pep rallies are memorable to me because it is a couple times out of the school year that each student comes together to support and encourage our own fellow students. By encouraging students of all ages to be apart of this experience is important to me, because seeing each student happy in sight of their school is inspiring.
As if I had unconsciously alienated myself from the squad. But no matter what I did I couldn’t shake the quasi -mental abuse that I had endured from cheer phi earlier on. No one likes to feel like the black sheep. But being a rebel was embedded in my DNA since birth. After all the separation, stress, and burdens of my financial obligations. I had contemplated quitting the team. I figured that if I didn’t want to be a part of cheer phi and if I couldn’t afford being on the team then why bother. One of the cheer phi members overheard me discussing my plan to the coach .I immediately got defensive and was silent the whole practice thinking that they were happy that I was leaving.
Being a leader on a sports team meant that I had to be physically and mentally strong in situations where others might be weak. Physically, I had to be an example on my team by never quitting and never giving up when things were tough. That way when my teammates seen me pushing through physically adverse situations they have someone to follow
