THE SPORT OF MY CHOICE: CHEERLEADING

The purpose of writing this composition is to describe about cheerleading. I was a cheerleader back in high school. The reason I became a cheerleader is because I was a gymnast and I have been watching cheerleading on ESPN and it really caught my eye. Furthermore, cheerleading in my former high school was and still a popular school activity. My school supports cheerleading as we make the school proud. Having school spirit makes me want to join even more. I have been trained since I was 13 and I’m proud to say that I was the cheerleading captain in 2004 and was also crowned as the national champion that year. People always think that we just go for popularity as you always see in the movies. But they are wrong, I have tried a few sports and I think cheerleading is the toughest. You need to have stamina to nail a 2.5 minutes routine consisting gymnastics skills, stunts, pyramids, cheer and dance. And while doing all that, we still manage to smile through it out. In conclusion, cheerleading keeps you fit and will also boost your confident to face the crowd. It is a good sport and I am happy to see cheerleading in Malaysia is improving every year.
