Girls don't go to cheerleading because it's fun. Ask any
cheerleader, most of them will tell you they hate it, but their
life wouldn't be anything without it. It's what they live for. They
live for the undefined amount of bruises, tape, calluses, sit-ups &
practices.. They live for practicing the routine countless times.
They live for certain types of music that pretty much no one else
understands. They live for walking past another team and seeing the
fear in their eyes. They live for the competition, the friends, the
practices, the memories, the pain, and the strangers who became a
family. Even with the rush of nervousness, they live for it. It's
who they are. Its who i am. We stand together in support of our
team united, committed, one motive one dream. What we do is
different unlike all the rest, but somehow the same when we all try
our best. We don't use a bat, a ball, or a net, just determination,
and muscle, endurance, and sweat. So don't call us ditzy, and don't
call us cute,lose the misconceptions, seek out the truth. Our
spirit is endless, our hearts filled with pride, please look past
the stereotype and see the athlete inside
