Through out my life, I have played many sports such
as soccer, tennis, and volleyball. I have also been in gymnastics and swim
team. At the end of last year there were tryouts for volleyball and
cheerleading. I decided to do something new and try out for
cheerleading. Weeks before tryouts, I went to LSU worked with a cheerleader on tumbling, jumps, dance, and of corse cheers. When the week of tryouts came I was a nervous wreck.
There were many of girls trying out for the same thing I wanted, a spot on the
JV Cheer Team. During that week of tryouts, we attended practices after school
learning the dance and cheer we would need to show the judges on the day of tryouts.
As tryouts came closer and closer, girls began to push harder and harder. They
wanted to make the team just like everyone else.
On the day of tryouts, we all showed up early in the morning. As time goes by and
varsity finishes, its was time for JV's turn to tryout. Since I had the
smallest number, I was the first to go for JV. As I walked on out into the gym,
I saw a table in the middle filled with six judges. When they said okay, I went
out and gave it the best I had, and did my cheer, dance, and tumbling to the best
ability I could. Once I was fished, I walked back into the locker room I felt
relieved; it was over. Now all I have to do is wait for the results.
A week after tryouts, an email was supposed to be sent out to the group of girls who made it. On that day, I had a volleyball tournament at St. George. When the tournament ended or us, the full team went out for dinner. At the dinner table I was constantly checking my phone for an email. As the dinner was coming to an end, I received an email saying congratulations! My hard work paid off, and I made the team. Even though my teammates were sad I was not going to be with them next year, they were all happy that I made the other team. It was a great experience to share with my teammates, and I was going to miss playing with them. The benefit about cheerleading is I have to cheer at certain volleyball games. That allows me to do my new sport, but still cheer on my friends in the sport I enjoyed. I was able to get the best of both worlds.
