This is me up on top doing an "awesome" in front of little kids at our cheer clinic
Yes, I will miss all of my friends...But there was one thing that actually kept me going in high school and that was cheerleading. Up until now I had been a cheerleader since I was in the 8th grade. My senior year as a cheerleader I became captain of the football cheer squad, and the competition cheer squad. I worked really hard to achieve this dream that many young cheerleaders hope to get, and I wouldn't have traded it for anything. Being a captain was like being a big sister to all of the cheerleaders. They came to me for advice on how their jumps looked, what stunts they needed help with, and other things that didn't necessarily apply to cheerleading. Being captain though wasn't the only highlight of my cheerleading career. I also grew with alot of these girls and we all got to work hard as a team to help eachother out and make eachother better cheerleaders. By the end of my cheerleading career I tore legimates in my elbow, my ankle (twice), and rolled that same ankle, but I guess it's all worth it...

That's awesome that you were the captain of the football cheer squad. That sounds like it would be a lot of fun.
well even though cheerleading is not my "cup-o-tea" I will admit though The stunts I have seen some highschool cheerleaders do are quite amazing might add.
I think cheerleading is a great thing to be apart of. my best friend from high school was captain of our high school football squad and i know she misses it too.
i was captain my senior year too but in basketball cheerleading. I miss it too!!
That all sounds like a lot of fun! Do you still keep in contact with any of the girls you were in cheerleading with?
my school had a cheerleading stunt problem so they couldn't do them any more a girl got dropped on her head and had a really bad concussion from it. :-( its a god thing you never got hurt like that
