CHEERFIT AMBASSADOR FEATURE: LETTI SMITH
The CHEERFIT ambassador community is filled with leaders and motivators who all share a passion for fitness, love for cheering and drive to help inspire others.
Our ambassadors share with us their personal stories and obstacles they overcome along the way. We have an amazing community of athletes who fuel their passion and determination with the CHEERFIT lifestyle. In addition to cheerleading, many of our ambassadors are committed to having a positive impact on their community, friends and family.
This week, we meet Letti, one of our youngest ambassadors who didn’t have an easy start . . . but through love and dedication to rise above, she is stronger than ever – physically and mentally! This story really touched our hearts, and we are honored to share with you our ‘Ambassador of the Week Feature’ with Letti Smith.
CAN YOU SHARE WITH US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOUR JOURNEY AND HOW YOU GOT TO WHERE YOU ARE TODAY?
I was adopted at 5 weeks old from an abusive situation where I was starved and neglected. The doctors said I would have mental and physical delays because of being deprived of nutrients, but I have proved them wrong – not only am I strong physically, but I’m very smart and ahead for my age.
Cheer has been a part of my life since before I could crawl – I was stunting and watching Worlds! I have overcome a lot of medical issues from my poor start to life, and I continue to strive for the best in me!
I have learned through all this that if you really want something, then work hard for it and you can do anything.
I have also learned that DNA doesn’t make you family . . . love does!!!
