I started as a side-line cheerleader for football. I soon realized I liked the competitive aspect of cheerleading, not the side-line spirit. I joined Jersey All Stars, a gym based out of Lakewood, NJ. I absolutely loved this gym. During my time as a competitive cheerleader, I would spend 4 hours a night at the cheer gym. I sacrificed a lot of my social life and gave up many school dances in order to be apart of this gym. I have traveled a lot through the county due to this sport. Competitions were very frequent, giving me a busy schedule to keep up with. Throughout my years cheering I have been on many different levels starting on youth 1, ending on a senior 5 team. I have made friendships of a lifetime and learned the importance of hard work. This sport forever changed my life and is apart of who I am today.]]> 2018-10-02 18:09:12 UTC https://padlet.com/katealysonm/ehptmxg7djyv/wish/288302990 katealysonm https://padlet.com/katealysonm/ehptmxg7djyv/wish/288305340 2018-10-02 18:12:57 UTC https://padlet.com/katealysonm/ehptmxg7djyv/wish/288305340 katealysonm https://padlet.com/katealysonm/ehptmxg7djyv/wish/288305942 2018-10-02 18:13:54 UTC https://padlet.com/katealysonm/ehptmxg7djyv/wish/288305942 katealysonm https://padlet.com/katealysonm/ehptmxg7djyv/wish/288306178 2018-10-02 18:14:20 UTC https://padlet.com/katealysonm/ehptmxg7djyv/wish/288306178 katealysonm https://padlet.com/katealysonm/ehptmxg7djyv/wish/288308711 2018-10-02 18:17:59 UTC https://padlet.com/katealysonm/ehptmxg7djyv/wish/288308711 Crowds katealysonm https://padlet.com/katealysonm/ehptmxg7djyv/wish/288323531 Cheerleading audiences can be extremely large.
