Who I Am - PART II

Today in class as we discussed our lives and the groups that we are a part of that make it up, I immediatly knew that the one that influenced me the most was my cheerleading team. Throughout the activity I related everything Sal or anyone in class said, to cheer. I am with the girls on my team every single day for 4 hours or more, and I love it. If you know me, you know i'm a positive, optimistic, fun person, but that personality is tripled when im at practice with my best friends. I am never as happy as I am at practice, which is wierd because a good amount of athletes dread practices. Anyways, as much as my those girls are my teammates, my best friends, and my sisters, they are more than that. They are who I am. And I realized when doing this activity, that I honestly wouldnt be who I am today without those girls. So many things make up a person, and cheerleading is my #1. Today, for example, we had practice for the first time all week because our competitive season just ended. I was ecstatic about practicing, and usually I'm never THAT excited. Its such a good feeling to know you're going somewhere where everyone is going to be excited to see you and you'll have the best time with the best people. I know that no matter what, after school I have a place to be and people to be there with. I just hope that after high school, when cheer is over, I find a new place to replace it that is just as amazing or even better, because I love who its made me. :)
