The Last Night

            Well this weekend was the last weekend of my high school cheering life… Words do not express how sad my heart feels. Yes, I had the time of my life and I do not fully regret any choices I made, but I hate to see it all end. Well, hopefully just ending for high school.
            We left the school on Friday morning at 8:30 am for the last trip of my senior year in cheering. We partied all the way down there and it was one of the more fun trips I had ever been on. After grabbing some food in Prescott, we got to our hotel and started getting ready for what we found out was the last game of our season. We braided our hair, put on too much makeup, and killed half of the o-zone layer with our hairspray amount. We were off!
            After the game had started, I stopped and looked around at the huge arena. It hit me that this could be my last time… When it got to the end of the second quarter my eyes started tearing up. I pulled myself together and put on a dang good halftime show.
            After Holbrook lost the game, I cried and cried. I knew cheer was over, but I knew that I had one of the best seasons I could ask for. I love cheerleading with all of my heart and I would do every bit of it all over again if I could. Now I will go off to college cheer and show them what my high school squad taught me.

    I don't think it'll be the end Toni. I have faith. You belong in a cheer squad. Where else could you possibly fit in? In any case, in the end it will be right.
    And if I'm wrong, and you don't end up cheering again, just remember Dr. Seuss. "Don't cry because it's over; smile because it happened."

  2. Toni, be glad that it did happen and you were part of a sport that you help become so noticeable. Sometimes i feel the same way for the sports i joined to but for me its literally the end not like you, you get to go onto college and do what to love so much. I dont know how you love it those stunts are to scary but somehow you girls do it!
