Personal Narrative: My Love Of Cheerleading

268 Words2 Pages

When a person hears the word obstacle, high school cheerleading rarely would come to mind. For me that’s all that I think of. My last season of high school cheerleading, in a nutshell, was short and bitter. Life threw injuries to all members of my stunt group, girls were caddy and spread rumors, but most importantly, I didn 't have fun. Around the beginning of November, I got a concussion.

When the doctor cleared me to go back to cheer, I was overcome by sadness. Cheer practice was not fun, my spots were given to other girls in the routine, and I realized that I didn 't fit in anymore.

    “As Cheerleaders Soar Higher, So Does the Danger” points toward the dangers of cheerleading, and at the same time the author reports “the number of serious injuries is low when compared with the number of current participants” (Pennington). This comparison indicates the author has kept an open mind with a clear personal opinion while writing this article. Cheerleading is obviously viewed differently today than it has been in the past. The writer describes modern cheer as “performances are a blur of tumbling bodies, executed to loud, pulsating music. The stunts are breathtaking.”

    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.

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.
