You Just Have To Believe

I am a dancer, but I always wanted to try something different. At my school you can only do cheerleading when you're in 7th grade. So this year they had tryouts. I was already nervous about them but when I found out that they made cuts throughout the week I was even more nervous. During the first day of tryouts I was not that nervous because you could tell who had past experience and who didn't so that made me feel a little better. There were helpers and they ran the groups so in each group you did something different. In the first group you did a chant and in the second group you did a cheer and in the next group you practiced you toe touches and your hurkeys and in the last group we did a dance combination.

As the week went on I started to get tired and by the last day I just wanted to give up. I was also nervous because that was the day we had to perform in front of judges. But my mom told me I needed to go because if I had gotten this far I had a good shot. But the best part of this whole experience was...........I made the squad! That just goes to show... never give up!
