The Cheerleaders

There was exactly two weeks until state football. It was an exciting time for our school going undefeated through the whole season. The cheerleaders were ecstatic, we hadn’t been to state for a decade! The following Monday after another win for the football team the school hallways were buzzing. Hannah was a junior and the captain of the cheer squad. Hannah was 5’7 and 125 pounds, with a mix of blonde hair and brown hair. On top of that she had the most beautiful eyes anyone could imagine, ice blue

Cheerleaders have been misunderstood for many years and to be known as dumb, skinny and blonde. Cheerleaders are established to be rich and preppy just because they like to dance around in a little skirt. While cheerleaders have been known to make homecoming court or be crowned prom queen there’s no rule that says they are promised popularity if you’re a cheerleader. For some reason, cheerleader’s fall straight to negative stereotypes, while we know some have been evolved from the media and mainly

could probably say that any cheerleader is proficient enough in the physical activity known as cheerleading; similar to the way gymnasts are to gymnastics; but, how do they become proficient, and what else makes a cheerleader eligible for the title — athlete? First, not all those who try out for cheerleading are chosen during tryouts, only those who possess a set of basic essential skills will make it on the team. Second, practice is important for any athlete. Cheerleaders rehearse their routines so

I cannot say it was all butterlies and rainbows, but also seemed to torment my everyday life. During my four long years at Buena had seemed to be drawn out perfectly. I was a cheerleader for all four years, and was very musically inclined which led me to choir since I had played the flute for seven years. As a cheerleader, I had learned what it meant to be on a team, without the girls and/or boys on the team if they are not there, there is no substitues for the game/show, it showed me that, not

hard working, talented athletes can show everyone why they were given a chance to be in the big leagues. They work day in and day out, practicing to get better, just like any cheerleader on those teams. The only difference between those sport athletes and the cheerleaders is the wages they are earning. Why should cheerleaders who devoted their life, physically

a varsity cheerleader for my local high school. Nine years later, the day I became a varsity cheerleader, I made a promise to myself that I would never do anything to jeopardize my personal image or the image of my team because I knew that young cheerleaders were always looking to be just like the varsity cheerleaders, and also like myself. This aspiration of mine encouraged my volunteer involvement with the the local recreation department in my county that coordinates youth cheerleaders during each

He also helped up start to clear our area. We have been in contact with the cheerleading team captain and she, as well, told us that the cheerleaders were given shovels. After ten minutes

Society’s ideology is introduced to the viewer through the satirical treatment of homosexuality as an illness. The “intervention” scene dives deep into this absurdity by having Megan’s close ones and an “ex-gay” counselor explain to her that she is a lesbian, due to the fact that, she has pictures of girls in her

of unflattering traits goes on. When people refer to cheerleaders, chances are they think horribly of you. Everyone see’s us as the good-looking girls who wouldn’t know anything. In years past, I was always seen as the nice, quiet, and smart girl. Until, deciding to become a cheerleader in high school. Everyone stereotypes cheerleaders as the pretty, dumb and popular girls.
