Pep Rally

Yesterday on February 17, I was in our school pep rally with some other friends of mine. In our class there is two guards; red and gold. Gold is seniors, and red is newbies. I am in Gold, and our "theme" is Feeling Good by Micheal Bubble. 

In November a small group of girls tried out to perform in the pep rally to just do a rifle group. There has only been 2 times of being in the pep rally, in November and yesterday.

I was in the pep rally in November as well as yesterday. Yesterday and November were very different. In November it was a small time as well as my first time being in front of my whole school and performing. Yesterday though, when I performed the crowed was quiet and for a moment I absolutely loved to perform. I was okay with being in front of the whole student body, whether I did okay or not. I was okay because I had enough gut to perform at least instead of being the shy girl I usually am.

In a couple weeks, and months I will being going with my friends to competing against other guards. I can honestly say that I will be fine with it. I will face my fears in being in front of a crowd because I could do it in front of the whole school. 

People should feel confident no matter what. Nothing in life is so horrible we should always stress about. This morning I was incredibly stressed because I would perform in front of the whole school. After I was done I realized it wasn't that horrible. After you push through you realize the "horrible" things are infact the greatest memories of all.
I was happy to celebrate my last year, and last pep rally on the gym floor performing in front of people I have gone to school with for so long. These are the greatest gifts of all is to perform with these people I have became friends with over time, because we all love the same thing and strive to better at it.
