BJH....Cheer Camp!

This last week I went to Greensburg, to a cheer camp for 3 days. To be honest, I did not want to go. We are mostly made up for newbies. With one returning cheerleader. None of us really knew what to expect.
There is a special class just for the captain. Captain class is where the team captain goes to learn about being good leaders, how to display good sportsmanship, setting goals for the team and for yourself, and so on. We don't have a captain so our sponsor just picks two of us. And guess who was picked...me. The one person who didn't want to go to it. It turned out to be kinda of fun.
Captains class was for 30 minutes at the start of the day. The other 6 hrs. and 30 min. we learned new cheers, dance, and more stunting. I'm the back spot the most easiest , and hardest job. In stunting we got way past last years bunch. We can do a full extension and a half up. The rest of it has to have more then six people. We only have five.... it turned out we were fine.
Each year the people who put the camp on does an all American cheerleader. You get a certain ribbon and certificate for being nominated. Well on the last day I got nominated. I was happy till I learned you had to do three jumps, and a cheer in front of EVERYONE! And I do not like being in front of a lot of people. I wasn't going to do it. Then I told my parents. They were all for it!:/ After hours,and hours of polite discussion. Ha..Ha. They told me, I did it or I had to quit. Well I wasn't going to quit so I had to do it. After waiting 3 hours the day of try-outs I was convinced that I wasn't doing it. But I did it....I messed up twice but other girls did too. I'm glad my parents, Madison, and everyone else believed I could do it, when I didn't think so.

P.s. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be getting in front of everyone. (Don't tell my family though!)
