For my final blog post, I like to do something special, something unique to conclude the last of the blogs. I want to start off by catching everyone up on my life, even though I have changed the topics of my latest blogs. First off, I have cheer camp this week, and I am already sore for the two days of practice. I know I’m going to be excited but also dreading next week.
It has also been stressful, my coaches told me today we will be doing a lot of stunting next week. Which means, I get to be thrown up in the air… alot. Flying isn’t scary, its the coming down and thinking your going to fall. Which I will get out of that headspace, I know the girls on the team have my back. If I go down falling, they are coming with me (in a good way). Oh, I almost forgot, I can sort of do a handstand now. I’ve tried on the wall without the mat. That didn’t go so well for me. I hit my head, and just decided to stick with the mat for now. I can kick my legs up, and hold it for a few seconds.
To some that might not be impressing, but for someone (me) who has never did cheerleading or any type of gymnastics like cartwheeling, and handstands this is a huge accomplishment. I am pretty glad I am overcoming my fears, and getting out of my head space that I can’t do a handstand. The first time I realized I was really upset down, I fell, which is kind of funny but not funny at the same time. I was upside down and realized.
Now all I would have to do is work on my cartwheels (that I can’t do at all). With this little step, I feel more confident that I can do things. Its the small things that help with bigger goals. I am almost finished with the Models Of Writing, our other summer assignment. I only have four headings to write about, which I am excited about. I did, however, skip around on the the second chapter, and got the “easiest” reading out of the way. That way, I would have less work to do, and less stress on myself for the upcoming week.
Not to mention school starting back soon, and eventually doing everything I learned at practice in front of the whole school. It’s kind of scary but thrilling at the same time. Well that is my life right now. It’s been a pleasure sharing it all with you, and I have enjoyed reading everyone’s posts. So, to conclude this blog post I will like to share some appropriate memes I found on the internet.

I have been in your shoes before girl! When I was cheering I was not very flexible and had never done cartwheels, roundoffs, etc. I can say that with the coaches and support from your teammates as well as hard work you will get there. Congrats on your accomplishments! I hope the rest of your week at cheer camp was fun and that you learned a lot. Being a flyer must be really cool. I could see the scary factor but I bet being up in the air makes it all worth it in the end. Thank you for sharing your cheer experiences with us, good luck!
