Everyone has accomplished something at some point in their life. Every person has set goals to accomplish. It’s hard to accomplish every goal, but you can do anything you put your mind to. One huge accomplishment I made was making my high school cheer team. I had set a goal and pushed myself and ended up making it. For starters, I grew up around all my uncles. I never had any interest in cheerleading at all, I thought it was for “girly girls”. I was a soccer player for many years, I liked being like my uncles. I wanted to do what they did. I used to watch cheerleaders on the sidelines at the recreation games. I liked watching them, just not enough to go out there myself. It wasn’t until 8th grade that I grew a interest for it.
It all started when I saw these amazing competitive cheer teams and I just had to try it. I begged my dad to let me try it, and finally he did. I signed up almost immediately. Then I ordered the highest quality cheer shoes; I had to be as good as the cheerleaders I had seen before. Once I started going

After a few hours, it was my group 's turn to go try out. I went in there and nearly froze. I completely embarrassed myself on the dance we had to perform, but when it came to jumps and tumbling I knew I’d make up for it. In the end, I only messed up on the dance. I was so disappointed after leaving, I thought I could have done better. I could have made it if I just practiced a little more. I had given up all hope. The results were going to be posted later that night, I sat around and nearly forgot about it. Once I remembered, I went to the website as fast as I could and looked at the numbers. Under the JV list was my number. I was in shock for about five seconds. Then I stood up and started screaming, I was so thrilled! I couldn’t believe it, all my hard work had paid off. All the anticipation and worries were for nothing, because in the end I accomplished
I like experimenting with different things, most people don’t see cheerleading as a sport but I would like to prove them wrong … I’m not interested in cheerleading for the popularity, but for it being a sport I really enjoy a lot.
Today, people often think of cheerleading as a sport meant for girls, even though girls didn’t start cheering until the year of 1923. It was only when women joined cheerleading that they began to use
Cheerleading goes beyond shaking poms and chanting cheers on the sidelines of a football or basketball game. In similarity to every other sport, with it come sprains, breaks, and severe injuries. In my mindset I was too well trained
When it comes to competitive cheer, there is a lot more than yelling chants. Cheerleading requires sharp/quick motions, strength, along with perfect timing. Cheerleaders have to have the ability to throw 100+ pound girls in the air and be able to catch them. In conclusion, cheerleading is dangerous, competitive, and takes time and dedication. These are all the components of what society considers a “true sport.”

Cheerleading is the first sport that made me feel apart of something, like I belong which is a feeling that softball nor basketball gave me. The sense of community and happiness that I experienced on a game to game basis is an incredible opportunity that I wouldn't trade for the world and I would be honored to be able to experience it for a second time. I believe that a good cheerleaders should have compassion and empathy for those around them. Cheerleaders should also have good leadership skills to be able to lead their squad. Alongside,an open mind to have the
We’re not here to show you high school cheerleading. We’re here to show you the young women and men putting all of their free-time into a stuffy old gym. Trusting each other with their lives and defying gravity. We’re not here to show you the average athlete.

Pom pom’s, short skirts, and lipstick. This is probably what first comes to your mind when you hear cheerleader. However, there is a lot more to cheerleading than that. Throughout these past four years Columbia athletics hasn't just taught me my physical strength, but also the values of commitment, hard work, dedication, leadership, and trust. These values have shaped me into the person I am today and I will continue to use these skills to guide me through my future life.
What is Cheerleading? Many may think it’s a sport that you dress up, apply makeup, slick your hair with a bow, and simply put on a smile, and yell as loud as you can to keep the crowd pumped. Cheerleading includes all those easy and pretty factors, but it is also a sport that you stunt, tumble, and jump. Jumps and tumbling may seem really easy to many people, but there’s more work done than most might think is possible. Stunting is also a major element in cheer, and that’s what really pleases the crowd, but stunting takes tons of work.
As a student in highschool, I contribute to numerous teams. I participate in cheerleading for varsity football and basketball. For cheerleading we all work together and create cheers and dances that we perform at games. We also are assigned to compose cheers by ourselves to teach the whole squad. I have been a cheerleader for three years now.
I literally eat, sleep and breathe cheer. When fall rolled around that next year I joined the squad and became a Buccaneer. I practiced day and night learning every little detail about cheerleading. At games, we would make adorable little chants on the sidelines. My favorite part though was half-time because we performed a routine in the middle of the field.
Cheerleaders support their school team, but their school and family support them just as much as the players when they compete. Cheerleading is just as much as a sport as football, basketball, golf, tennis, baseball, and
Another person might think of success as making millions of dollars and having a huge house with nice cars this is also an achievable goal. I want nothing more than to graduate with a degree and start my career as a dental hygienist. A short term goal that will help me become successful is studying to ace every test given to me. Beginning solid study habits right
Cheer teams produce such a love and family atmosphere that it's addicting. I plan to continue cheering and I cannot wait to hopefully cheer in college. I am glad I had the gymnastics background and was able to recognize that I needed to give up gymnastics because you know what they say: when one door closes another one
