CAN YOU SHARE WITH US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOUR JOURNEY AND HOW YOU GOT TO WHERE YOU ARE TODAY?

This is my second year cheerleading and its been a bumpy road. Last year I broke my arm so I couldn’t train properly for eight weeks. This meant I started this year with very little tumbling skills. I was scared to use my arm again because I didn’t want it to hurt. With the encouragement from all of my teammates and coaches, I started to trust myself. By March I managed to get my back walkover, then my front walk over…This gave me the confidence and drive to do more.

By March I managed to get my back walkover, then my front walk over…This gave me the confidence and drive to do more.

Then came the front and back handsprings, I felt like I was getting something new each week. Its now September I am now in level 4 for tumbling. I am so proud of myself and that all the hard work is paying off. I also dance and study Tae Kwon Do. This helps teach me about patience and persistence. I want everyone to know that dreams only stay as dreams if you are not willing to reach for them.
