      Recently, I saw my juniors in senior high school post some pictures about cheerleading on Instagram, which makes me recall the time when I was in the cheerleading school team. Cheerleading plays a very important part in my life because it makes my senior high school life more colorful and I have learned lots of things through joining the cheerleading school team. When I was a freshman in senior high school, I didn’t give cheerleading school team a thought try and thought that I would never join this school team during these three years. However, this thought was totally overwhelmed after I participated in the cheerleading summer camp in my second year of the high school. I found that cheerleading was not as boring as I thought before. It’s a very interesting and meaningful sport. When I cooperated with my partners to do some cheerleading skills successfully, I would get a sense of achievement so I decided to join the cheerleading school team.

       After joining cheerleading school team, my senior high school life became more colorful. I had to practice cheerleading skills and do some training every day after the class. Someone may say I spent a lot of time on training, so I would not have enough time to study. Nevertheless, I thought that if I did time management well, practicing cheerleading was not an excuse not to study well. Besides, I joined many competitions and had lots of performances. I gained the different experiences that I couldn’t learn from the class such as how to face the fear of performing in front of hundreds of audience. What’s more, I also learned lots of things in the cheerleading team. First, I learned how to coordinate with my partners or teammates. Cheerleading is a sport that needs every member to perform together. Hence, coordinating with each member is a crucial lesson to learn. Next, every great thing is nothing but a lot of little ones. I practiced cheerleading and did some physical training every day. It was hard to see the training result right away after doing them, but maybe a few weeks later, I would do some difficult skills that I could not do before. All our capabilities were accumulated in every training we had done. If we didn’t practice cheerleading hard, we wouldn’t have abilities to do some difficult skills. Besides, it made me more perseverant because of the training. I could bear what I couldn’t withstand before. I would keep telling myself that I could do it. To sum up, I am so proud that I have joined a meaningful team like this in my senior high school. I will never forget all the things I learn from the cheerleading school team.
