My mom was a cheerleader and had me as a teenager. I remember her giving me some pom-poms and teaching me how to do some splits when I was 3 or 4.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I was a cheerleader for nine years!
When I was really little, I was on a Pop Warner squad. I did it for a year. My dad was a Pop Warner football coach. I did it because my best friend was also on this cheer squad, and of course I looked up to my sister who was a cheerleader, so I wanted to cheer.
Growing up, I played softball and I was a cheerleader.
I did gymnastics when I was growing up and to this day I can still do the splits.
All my friends were cheerleaders, and I was the girl who hung out at home. I just worked on my music all the time.
Even at 10 or 12, I was a hot, fast little cheerleader.
I started in junior high doing the splits and flips and that kind of stuff. It was kind of the acceptable thing to do. But I had two older brothers, so I was a tomboy. I was the cute tomboy who could put on the skirt but then go tackle you or something. I was a little rough around the edges for a pretty woman!
I've never been a cheerleader. It's so outside of my range of things I could ever do.
I was a gymnast when I was younger. My parents put me in gymnastics, and I was actually only good at the floor. I was terrible at everything else, especially beam. Unfortunately, you can't be a gymnast unless you're good at all of the apparatuses, so I became a competitive cheerleader. I was just the main tumbler for my squad.
I basically became a cheerleader because I had a very strict mom. That was my way of being a bad girl.
