Nationals'14

Now... I am not one to normally do sappy personal posts but I thought this was a worthy occasion. Since this is my last year cheering, I wanted to dedicate a post to twenty four of my best friends. These are the friends that I could talk to for hours on end about cheering without them getting fed up with me. These are the people that understand the aches and pains that I feel the day after practice. These are the friends who I trust with my whole heart, they only want to see me succeed just as I only want to see them try their hardest at each and every skill they present. We have a different kind of friendship. Sure, none of us know every aspect of each others lives but we know what happens at practice and this connects us on a whole new level. Meet my 24 sisters...

 

1. Maddy- captain and pretty much cheerleader extraordinaire. She really has a heart of gold and has the best interest in mind for the squad. 
2. Ginnie- co-captain and hella fierce. She is one of those people who makes everyone feel special and has killer style... she literally always looks like a million bucks.
3. Ellen- the core of the squad is Ellen. She is an incredible base and I would probably trust her with my life. If I had to pick a song to go with Ellen it'd be this one.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6ihCQZK-r0
4. Caroline- she probably looks familiar to you guys. She is my best friend and I cannot say too much more without being ridiculously cheesy. But she has a no bull shit attitude when it comes to cheerleading which is necessary for our squad's success. 
5. Alaina- just thinking about her warms my heart. She is pretty much my day one niqqa considering I met her in Pre-K. She is a breathe of fresh air that brightens my day. 
6. Katherine- Kat is a free spirit. She does not care what anyone thinks about her and I wish I could be more like that! 
7. Caroline (aka Kyle)- For those of you confused, Kyle's real name is Caroline but she is starting to go by her middle name. She has some of the most unrecognized talent. She also has unrecognized beauty... she really should get wayyyy more credit. Kyle is easily one of the greatest people I know. 
8. Emily- She works very hard for what she wants. She also has an "I don't care what you think of me" attitude. 
9. Ashley- Ash wins diva of the squad. Every single overnight stay we have had for cheerleading (whether it be Nationals or camp or just a squad sleepover) Ashley always has her robe and shower cap in hand. I have even found her doing face masks and such... she is a woman of my own heart. 
10. Amy- Amy has a very special place in my heart. She was there when I got hurt and I owe her so much. She and her mom are basically the reason I can walk today. 
11. Mary- I LOVE THIS CHICK. She is an incredible tumbler and also an incredible friend. She would probably do just about anything for me.
12. Sam- She is such an amazing cheerleader. I am seriously begging her to do college cheerleading. She just has so much talent and she is one of the funniest people I know. 
13. Madison- Madison is literally destined to be a Disney princess, like Belle. She is so nice to every single person, she just has incredible morals. I really admire her. 
14. Catherine- Kitty should be a Barbie doll. She is stunning, has great grades, participates in other extra curricular's, and still maintains to be nice. (bitch). 
15. Hannah- Hannah is one of the most naturally pretty people I know. She always looks flawless. (She can literally say "I woke up like dis" and people would be impressed... whereas if I said it people would just feel bad for me). 
16. Lauren- She is the nicest person on the squad and works so stinking hard! She goes all out every single time. I admire her as a person and as a cheerleader. Lauren is so beautiful, inside and out.
17. Claudia- Claudia also has unrecognized talent. She really is such a great cheerleader and I absolutely love hearing her sassy comments under her breathe... I live for that shit.
18. Camille- She is the comic relief for the squad. Camille works really hard and also tries to keep a smile on everyone's faces. I just love that about her. 
19. Alyssa- I kind of think of Alyssa as my protege. She is so fabulous! She also has so many great things to say. I hope she continues to be fab forever, that is something to strive for. 
20. Amanda- Poor Mandy... always taking one for the team. She has seriously been beat up all year and still somehow wants to participate. *Snaps for Amanda*
21. Annie- what a dime! Annie is A). Beautiful and B). very loud. The makings for a great cheerleader.
22. Olivia- Olivia is so sweet. She always makes me feel so great about myself which I genuinely appreciate. She is also an incredible base, another person I would trust with my life. 
23. Katie- She is another comic relief for the squad. She works very hard and is an incredible dancer. KTB also has awesome hair. 
24. Abigail- and if people think that I am sassy they must not have met Abigail. She says what she wants when she wants which is great. I love honesty. She also has black girl hair and understands the everyday struggle of trying to be fabulous without looking ghetto fabulous. 

Hope you all enjoyed a little intro to 24 of the most beautiful, diverse, talented, and caring girls I know. I love each and every one of my sisters.
