“Cheer puts so much pressure on my body but there’s just something about it that I love. Just being able to create a bond with all of my teammates has been the best part of my experience. We’ve become a family. It’s the chance to create bonds and friendships that you wouldn’t normally have during school and I love the friends and family that come out of it. Getting to cheer the boys on from the sideline is something I really enjoy because I love football and doing anything that will pump up the crowd for them makes it a hundred times better. It’s hard knowing this is my last year on the squad and I want to make sure I make the best out of my senior year, even though it’s been hard with these circumstances. Still, I want to make it a great year, especially for the younger girls having a varsity experience.”
