ST JOHNS UNIVERSITY CHEERLEADERS

My Life With Out Cheerleading

I couldn’t imagine my life without cheerleading. Many times I have pictured my life without it and to me it’s not much of a life. All my friends are cheerleaders and I don’t even know what I would do with all the spare time (I would probably nap and catch up on the sleep I’ve missed for the past 6 years of my life). Cheerleading consumes my life and without it I’m not sure what I would do to stay fit. Cheerleading shows you a different side of your school that you’ve never realized before. You look at people very differently and people look at us very differently. When I see people in school that I’ve seen at a game cheering our red storm teams on and I defiantly remember those people. And people do recognize cheerleaders in school. But even beside that I honestly couldn’t ever picture my life without cheerleading and one day ill soon find out. But until then my life will defiantly be all cheer all the time.

When Team Memebers Become Your Family

When you’re on a team you have an initial bond of being on a team.  But when everyone spends all this time together we are bound to all become more than just a team. When I joined the team as a freshman I knew some people attending St. John’s but not many.  However joining the cheer team changed my college experience.  We spend almost every day together. If we aren’t together at a game or practice we see each other in school.  There times where we see each other 7 days a week. And since we all are friends we also hang out with each other on the weekends.  There are 3 other girls on the team that I went to high school with and cheered with there as well. Also we are a stuns group and we are practically sisters and we really hang out with each other almost all day every day. So being on a team makes your teams mates your family. With a sport such as cheerleading you need to trust the other cheerleaders with your life. And trust is one of the most important things to have in any family or team. However not matter if we fight or disagree at the end of the day we are a team and we are a family.
