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

My name is Julieanna Luzunaris and I am twelve years. I have been cheering for three years and I currently cheer with Infinity All Stars in Jacksonville Beach, FL. I am on Senior Supremes which is a Senior 2 Team and Royal Divas which is a Junior 3 Team. Prior to cheer I studied Karate for five years and earned a black belt. I am currently working on my punch front and my standing and running tuck. I had a setback last year when I broke my leg one week prior to our 1st competition. I have overcome six weeks in a wheel chair, three weeks in a walking cast, and three weeks in a walking boot. 

I have overcome six weeks in a wheel chair, three weeks in a walking cast, and three weeks in a walking boot. 

I also had to do physical therapy for three months. All of these setbacks have not stopped me from cheering and I continue to work hard to achieve my goals. When I am not at cheer I take violin lessons and I volunteer in my churches nursery. I help take care of the babies while their parents are at the church service. I also like to hang out with friends and like to listen to music. Fitness is an important part of cheer and life in general. I have to maintain a fit and healthy body in order to cheer and also to avoid injuries.

“In a world where you can be anything…be yourself.“

CHEERFIT AMBASSADOR FEATURE: BRITNEY JESCHONEK

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.

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

I am 12 years old, and I am a special needs child. I was first diagnosed at age 3 with autism and adhd, and from there things progressed. I eventually had my diagnosis list grow and added on some health issues that are on-going. A lot of my issues stand out at times based on my comfort levels and who’s around me. This has been a burden in some ways such as with school in the past. I was bullied for 2-3 years due to many of my issues. 

My mom did all she could to try and get the school on board, and she even reached out to some ladies she networks with. She’s part of a group called Fierce Forward, and it’s a group of ladies who support and motivate one another. They took me in under their wing once they heard the upsetting news they included me in some of their projects to help me refind myself. Then I realized that it doesn’t matter what others think…it only matters what I think.

They took me in under their wing once they heard the upsetting news they included me in some of their projects to help me refind myself. Then I realized that it doesn’t matter what others think…it only matters what I think.

I’ve been doing pageants for almost 5 years now, but it wasn’t until August 2017 that I found my home. A local girl referred me to them, and this new pageant family is so supportive, motivating, and very involved. Since joining this system I not only have a platform I can stand behind as our platform is the Crown C.A.R.E.S which is an anti-bullying platform so it’s perfect for me and I can relate to it; But I also have my own personal platform “in a world where you can be anything…be yourself.” My mom and I came up with this because 1) it was a sign that was mailed to me by the Fierce Forward group to help remind me that I am awesome, and 2) because I now know that while I can be anything I want to be…I should always stay true to who I am and be the best me possible because I am the only me there is and no one else can ever be me!

The other amazing thing about where I am now from where I was is that I know no matter what others think of me, I have the best support group ever and that’s my mom and her friends! These recent changes with pageants and all have also opened so many doors up to me. I started volunteering at an animal rescue, am on board with an animal sanctuary, have made some appearances including talking to a Girl Scout troop, and I’ve done so many projects such as collecting toys for Toys For Tots, doing a food drive, an animal fundraiser, collecting cards for the elderly, and so much more! Plus, 2018 is already filling up in so many ways. 

I may not have known it at the time, but in some ways I see my being bullied as a blessing because now I have a story to share and can relate to others in similar situations. Also, it’s opened so many doors for me. While I walked away from Girl Scouts and cheerleading, I started doing pageants which lead to so much more. I even left my school and became a virtual school student, which also gives me the flexibility to do my volunteering and projects with ease as I don’t have to worry about a school schedule in a sense. And now today, I can say I am part of CHEERFIT too which is amazing! I can’t wait to see what 2018 has in store for all of us, and remember that while there will be bad days (whether it’s just a bad hair day or being bullied) there is always something good that happens that day too. Plus, the bad is helping you to learn and grow, and it’s also making you stronger. I will never be “normal” as they say, but who cares. This life I was given was given to me for a reason, and I’m gonna show them all that I am a special, awesome, amazing girl who can make a difference despite my disabilities and despite their negativity. I CAN do it!

– CHEERFIT Ambassador Britney Jeschonek

WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS?:

I am a title holder for Miss Berks County Jr Teen. I have 3 cheerleading medals. I have a 3rd place medal from Girl Scouts from Rope Runners. I sing in Chorus. I overcame bullying. I do monthly giving back projects and help others.

HOW HAS BEING AN AMBASSADOR HELPED YOU REACH YOUR GOALS?

I just joined today so we will see. I am sure it’ll just add to the progress I am making in my community, and help me have an even bigger support system.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PART ABOUT BEING A CHEERFIT AMBASSADOR?

I’m not sure yet as it’s just day 1, but I am looking forward to see what the future holds with it.

WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO TELL OTHER PEOPLE WHO WANT TO BECOME A CHEERFIT AMBASSADOR?

I say if you want to do it, then go for it. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Only you can decide what’s right for you, and if you feel you are a good fit, can stand behind what they do, and are willing to do the best you can to uphold what is required of you then there shouldn’t be a single doubt in your mind about doing it. So, click that button and sign up today!

WHAT ARE 3 THINGS ALWAYS IN YOUR CHEER BAG?

It’d be a pageant bag for me, but it’d be my hair accessories, gowns/dresses, and stylish shoes

FAVORITE SONG TO JAM OUT TO DURING A SWEAT SESH:

Anything with a good beat

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE EXERCISE?

I like dance workouts

FAVORITE QUOTE:

In a world where you can be anything…be yourself

ANY FUN FACTS, SOMETHING INTERESTING, OR ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANT TO SHARE?

If I can do all that I have and all that I plan to despite everything I battle with on a daily basis, then I know anyone can achieve their goals. I have my bad days, and I have days where I have to take a break because it gets to be too much and I get overwhelmed and meltdown. It’s a struggle because I try to do my best, but sometimes my best isn’t my best due to anxiety, being overwhelmed, meltdowns, and more. Plus, I’m more nonverbal than verbal (and been regressing in this area) so there are times my mom has to step in and help or talk for me. But I still manage to get out there and make things happen when and where I can.

Thank you so much for sharing your amazing story! You are so inspiring and we are so proud that you have joined the CHEERFIT family! We look forward to following your amazing journey and hope you continue to stay healthy, fit, strong, and powerful in all you do!

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

I was born two months early and had to have two open heart surgeries before I was 12 days old. I also have had five different surgeries since then. I’m also missing my S1 vertebra, and I also have spina bifida, (which I needed have to have surgery for). I have had a extremely hard time of keeping my back and shoulders open because of the doctors wiring my chest back together. So I have struggled with every new skill I’ve learned. 

Fitness is important to me because I need to stay healthy to make sure my heart stays healthy. 

With scraping and blading and taping, (once a week) and lots and lots of stretching I have been able to keep my back open. Fitness is important to me because I need to stay healthy to make sure my heart stay healthy. I have learned that know matter how much you stretch you can never stretch enough.

Being a CHEERFIT Ambassador was one of the best decisions I have made.  CHEERFIT has allowed me not only to just be “The Fit Kid” but has helped me to remain “The Fit Kid”.  CHEERFITt reminds me to stay active not only to meet my own fitness goals but it allows me to be an inspiration to so many others. I often get messages in my inbox about someone who is inspired by my dedication to fitness at such a young age. 

I would say that I have a weekly fitness transformation with CHEERFIT because I’m always learning something new!

I have always enjoyed yoga/fitness but being a CHEERFIT Ambassador Elite helps to keep me focused and reminds me to work harder because so many people of all ages are watching. I would say that I have a weekly fitness transformation with CHEERFIT because I’m not only always learning something new, but also, more importantly, the proper technique for workouts. CHEERFIT will always be apart of my daily life so therefore my transformation will always be my love for the brand (it just gets better with time), my growth in achieving different levels of fitness and the ultimate transformation will be becoming CHEERFIT Certified!
