I participated in cheerleading from the time I was in secondary school until I graduated from high school. This has shaped my ability to work effectively with others and lead a team. Although many people believe cheerleading is not a sport, they are unaware to the level of strength and commitment required to participate. Despite the necessity to travel and attend early morning practices and late-night games, I wouldn't change a thing. I've gained a great deal of knowledge from the extraordinary individuals I've met over the years, and I've come to consider a few of them my best friends. I volunteered in summer cheer programs for children ages 5 to 13 during my years of high school; seeing the joy on their faces was priceless.
