CAN YOU SHARE WITH US A TIME YOU FELT BULLIED AND HOW IT MADE YOU FEEL?
Last school year I was bullied by a girl in my class. I never understood why she bullied me, but she would hit me and call me names in front of everyone in my class.This made me suffer from anxiety and I was afraid to tell anyone because I didn’t want to get teased for telling. It lasted almost the whole school year until I finally spoke up and told my mom and she handled it privately with my school principal.

WHAT IS THE BEST ADVICE YOU CAN GIVE TO SOMEONE WHO IS BEING BULLIED?
Being a CHEERFIT ambassador I’ve learned to be strong mentally – so the best advice I would give someone is to never let someone bully you to the point were you’re so afraid to speak up. Always report bullying no matter what others may think of you!
HOW DO YOU MOTIVATE AND SUPPORT YOUR FAMILY, FRIENDS AND TEAMMATES?
l motivate and support my family, friends and teammates by maintaining a positive environment and cheering them on even if they are having a rough day.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE?
“I am in competition with no one. I have no desire to play the game of being better than anyone. I am simply trying to be better than the person i was yesterday.”
“I AM AMAZING AND #CHEERFITSTRONG BECAUSE . . .
. . . within a year of becoming a CHEERFIT ambassador I have accomplished every goal I have set since then. I have learn to be strong physically and mentally and I no longer allow negativity in my circle. I live for peace and kindness.”
