Cheerleading Program by corinne - December 2019 Scholarship Essay

One small group of people in my life has changed many things around me for the better. The high school cheerleading team has taught me day to day skills and how to have respect one another. I believe joining a team/community of such powerful individuals has given myself strength of overcoming hard times. Something that this team has helped me with was gaining new people to surround myself with. Without discovering a strong community of this team I wouldn't be at where I am today.
When joining the cheerleading team my freshman year of high school I only knew two people that were my friends since middle school. I was very nervous of what to expect coming into a new surrounding of older, and much more mature people. I came into a place I wasn't used too but I knew I had the courage of being myself and respecting the other cheerleaders close by. Everyone who I mostly talked to said just be yourself, you got this! I felt almost just a pride moment of joy of older cheerleaders looking at me with a heart of respect towards me> During these years I have became better and grew up around amazing people who I have looked up too. Since freshman year to my senior year I believe I have gained a new understanding of self respect, communication, and leadership.
