What I like most about cheerleading: It has been a major part of my life for the last ten years and has taught me many things that I will carry with me and use throughout my life. My favorite thing is knowing that, win or lose, there is always going to be people there to support you and cheer you on. The people I admire most are: My mom and dad. My parents are the most selfless, caring, and loving people I know. Day in and day out, they do everything for the well-being and benefit for me and my brothers. Throughout everything I have ever done or wished to do, they have always been there for me, supporting me and encouraging me along the way. I can not even put into words how thankful I am to have such extraordinary parents. Why my school is the best: Holy Spirit is by far the best school because we truly are a family. Win or lose, we come together and become even stronger than before. I wouldn’t have wanted to spend my four years of high school anywhere else. My favorite sports team is: The Philadelphia Phillies My favorite music is: Country Quote I live by: “The secret of being happy is accepting where you are in life and making the most out of every day.” – Audrey Hepburn
