“I do cheer. I just started this year–my sophomore year. It was a little terrifying because everyone knew what they were doing, and I didn’t really. I was kind of in the back, but it was really, really fun. I look up to my friends because they [have done] cheer longer than me, and they’re always there to help other people. They’re always so kind. I remember this one time when I first met my very first flyer, she told me that she had wanted to make her senior year the greatest year ever in cheer. We helped her do that by having her do libs and heel stretches in the air, which was pretty cool. [The best part is] all the different challenges. It is how hard you have to work and seeing that you can support other people and that they’re there for you, too. “
