Cheer leading has been a big part of my life. I started doing gymnastics when I was 2 and then went into cheer leading until I was 16. It was different than any sport I’d done before and I loved being thrown in the air. Practices were always long and it was sometimes hard to push though, especially with injuries. Teammates were the most helpful people, they were always encouraging and supportive towards me. As for the makeup and outfits, the makeup was sometimes over the top, but it was fun to dress up. I loved wearing the uniforms and I felt like a whole new person when preforming.
