Cheer Captain
Kaylee Guevara

Cheer :)
There are many different opinions out there about cheerleaders, many good, and some bad. Some think of them as the girls standing by the football field, but I think of cheerleading as a symbol of all the spirit that we can share, and a token of appreciation toward the team that’s being cheered on. Cheerleading is such a vital part to many sections of the school. If I was chosen to be a captain for the 2013-2014 year, not only would I make sure that any negative opinions were squashed, but the great qualities the squad holds, are emphasized. I have come along way since i started cheerleading. I remember my first day of cheer and how nervous I was to be trying something I’ve never done before, and how inexperienced I was. Throughout the season, I’ve always worked my hardest to pick up new dances, stunts, and cheers right away. Since most of the new girls joining cheer this year have never done cheer before, I find it a privilege to help them grow to become the best they can be athletically, and with their attitudes. I think an important quality of being a captain is always, always, including everyone! I feel like i dedicated my time to be the best cheerleader i can be and also the best person i can be for myself and i have accomplished it, but im not finished yet. I learn new things everyday, you learn in the process. I want the new girls to be the best they can be, i think i can really help them. Actually, i know i can. It's super hard to be confident and i learned that but i built up my confidence i want these girls to experience their first year of cheer and be like "wow". I've discovered myself in so many ways, i want the new team to do so as well. Cheeleading is something im very passionate about and i just want the world to know that. I know my schedule for the next school year will be a problem considering i might not be able to have cheer sixth period, but i will try my hardest to work something out. I need a chance. I

    Dance Team Captain

    The term captain is synonymous with the term leader. By definition, a leader is someone who is in an advanced position to take the initiative in order to go forth and show the way. A dance captain should be able to make intelligent and creative decisions quickly and efficiently. Dance teams are all about unity. An exceptional group glides across the floor with all of its dancers moving as one. There are no individual standouts. No weak links. But there is one person whose job is to make the team as strong as possible, on the floor and off. It’s one thing to be a good team player, but it's another to be a good captain. Few will have the opportunity to feel the weight of the responsibilities and the happiness of knowing you're making a difference. Being captain of any type of organization in my eyes is a huge job. It’s teaching respect by showing respect. It’s helping 11 girls, including myself, strive and push themselves to be the best dancers I know we all can be. Having the title of captain doesn’t mean being the boss of everyone, being in the front in every dance, or just thinking that the captain should come before everyone else. Captains are the inspiration of the team. They’re the person that everyone on the team looks up too. Being a natural born leader is also a big role of dance team. That means having self-confidence, good communication skills, courage, clear desire to make progress towards a goal, and a fair degree of understanding your fellow teammates. Being a captain requires you to focus on the big picture, doing what’s best for your team even on your worst days. If you’re negative, the team will take on the same attitude, even if everyone else has had a great day. As captain of your dance team, you’ll definitely encounter some sticky situations, like having to confront your friends when they aren’t practicing full-out or telling an injured teammate that she’ll have to sit out a performance. But it’s…

    Cheerleading Contribution

    I want to try out for the varsity cheerleading team because I want to be able to represent my school and show how even though we are considered a low economic funded school we have just as much spirit as the highly funded schools. Also, I was in cheerleading since I was young, and I joined the JV team last year and really learned to love the sport. A contribution I can make to the cheer team is providing my service and devoted commitment to the organization by being there for the fundraisers, games, pep-rallies, etc. Furthermore, I will also contribute by exemplifying the school and expressing the virtues our school holds high which is that we are not just a district but we are a family that cares for each other. Another contribution I can…

    I am a High School Varsity Cheerleader. Yes, one of those girls who prisses around in a short skirt, ponytail bobbing from side to side and a grin the couldn't possibly get any bigger. I might be recognized as a bobbsy air head who stands on the side lines, looks pretty while only responding to the commands "Ready? Ok!" Well, believe it or not I'm not one of THOSE girls. I'm just like every other athlete breaking a sweat to become the best. My senior year of high school I made the Varsity Cheerleading squad. If that wasn't enough I wanted more. I wanted to be the person every girl envied. I wanted to be the captain. If that were to happen I had to prove that I was a well rounded girl who excelled at being responsible, has dedication, teamwork,…

According to my real situation, someday in last year, our freshman didn’t want to join our activity and after the rehearsal, there was a meeting of a problem for this day.

    It is very important for athletes to know what they are doing before performing. For the veterans of the team, it is easy for them because they have done certain skills many of times. For freshman, or rookies, it can be very difficult keeping up with the advanced stunts. Cheerleaders spend about five to eight hours at the minimum a week practicing. If an athlete is on a competition team, it is often twice the amount of practice time. Practice is where the discourse community really comes into play because we use almost every word in cheerleading in a single practice. On eight hour choreography days, words are thrown around all day long. Whether it is coming up with new ideas for skills, stretching, or doing run-throughs. A run-through, or full…

    Approaching this season, I constantly deliberated if I would play my senior year due to the fact that I am not the most valuable player. However, thinking about not playing the sport I loved with my teammates, I decided to complete my final season. Once deciding to play, I came to the realization that I would not be playing every game and would be sitting the bench. Although for many this would be defeating, I decided to make it a positive role on my team. As a leader on the B side of my team, which plays the starters everyday in practice, I made it my responsibility to push my team to be ready to compete and push the starters to win the state title. At every match while sitting the bench, I decided to take on the role as the team's cheerleader and uplift the team when the brutality of the game struck down its iron…

    Sports have accompanied me throughout my school days. I was always given a role to play in the main team in competition, but not a chance to lead my team as a captain. I am an easily contented person who doesn’t expect much to be happy; being in the team was good enough for me. Mainly for that reason, there are situations where I do not have confident in leading others.…

    Cheer leading has impacted my life in many ways. Not only has it taught me who I am as a person but, it has given me the ability to experience people and their values from all different walks of life. By experiencing a plethora of different values I have become a more accepting person. With the acceptance that I have learned and I am learning I have been able to help people with many different problems they may be facing. These problems range from needing tutoring, somebody to talk to, or just want my opinion things. By helping people with their problems it has resulted in me being somebody many of the girls look up to on the team. This leadership role has shown me the limits I am capable of reaching and at times has pushed the envelope on…
