Last year, i was exposed to the world of cheerleading when I made the decision to join pep. When I entered this sport, I knew that I still had so much to learn and discover for everything was so new to me and I had no background of gymnastics or dance. I was in awe of how talented and strong the people were on this team and I've always dreamed to be as amazing as they are. In the beginning , I knew that cheerleading is not an easy sport. My body would constantly hurt and I'd get bruises and even injuries, but I kept going, for our coach always motivated and told us that pain signifies that you're getting stronger and getting hurt is all part of the sport. There were moments when I'd get frustrated because I could not lift right or tumble as well as the others, and I kept repeating the same mistakes. I felt that I was not good enough and wanted to give up. But I have come to realize that I need to endlessly push myself and keep trying for it will always get better, and when things get rough, I always keep in mind how much I love cheerleading, how passionate I am of the sport and the people I do it with, and how I sacrificed my time, effort and so much more just to give up that easily.
Cheerleading molded me to become mentally, physically and emotionally strong. The lessons and values that our coach taught us are not only applicable in cheerleading, but also in real life and that is the beauty of this sport. In everything that I have been through last season, what kept me going was my passion, dedication and hard work. When I felt weak and helpless, I'd let these three take over my mind and heart which helped me to accomplish my goals. Nothing ever comes easy in life, we must constantly work hard and have persistence. At the end of the day all our sacrifices will pay off and I myself have experienced all these which made me the successful person I am today.
