Forum Post of the Week - "PLEASE! help me!"

Friday March 5, 2004
KAY20081 writes, "Okay, I was going to try out for highschool cheerleading but now I am having second thoughts, all the other girls who are trying out are really good at this and know what they are doing and how to do it, I've never cheered b 4 and tryouts are april 12 and we have to do a toe touch (I can do one but not very good, I can't keep my legs straight!). We have to be able to do a roundoff (I don't really have the confidence to tumble . . . at all . . . I can't even do a cartwheel yet). We have to spirit and do other jumps I know most of them and how to do them but I'm not physically able to. I really want to be a cheerleader but I dont know if i should even try out because I have a feeling I'm just going to fail and be stuck doing nothing the whole year, please help in any way you can!"

U can do if you try. and if U don’t do it right then don’t stress just get back up and try agian after all cheering is more than girls prancing around it takes hard work and deication. If U have that U will not only do good , but you will also have alot more fun than just standing around like a deer in the headlights of someones car.
