I tried out for cheerleader one year as a way to conquer my fears. I practiced, I practiced, I practiced, I practiced, I even had other cheerleaders help me practice. The day came I stood there in front of everyone who mattered and I forgot the cheer...................I walked off with my head hung low. I truly sucked.......... What was I thinking? This is not the worse part. I still had to come back and perform my stunt with my partner. Somehow I walked back out.......................... We were good, really good. I did my herky jump and we did our double stunt. I did not suck on that part of the tryout. The problem is that I was trying out for CHEERLEADER not "what I was good at" leader.
The lesson learned? Failing will not kill you. It might suck for a moment, but the point is I tried. Did it all mean anything in the end? No, I really did not want to be a cheerleader. I wanted to play football..............................................that's another story
