But I love cheerleading so much that I wouldn't give it up just because of them. People say that we're just cheerleaders and that we're not important, but we actually are. If it weren't for us, the halftimes would be boring, nobody would get into the game, and it would be so quiet during the game. FYI, they are not all like that. On make girls think they have to be popular, pretty and have a boyfriend to join a squad when it really takes determination, guts and school spirit.
Cheerleaders have to be dedicated to their team and practice a lot just like in many other sports.
If you try doing some of the things that they do, you may end up changing your mind. Sure, there are those who think cheerleading isn't a sport, mainly guys who only appreciate the legs and lifted skirts. I consider it a sport because you practice just like you would any other sport. We go to a NCA camp, and for those who don't know, NCA stands for National Cheerleaders Association. It's hard work, believe it or not.
