Q: How has the your year as a cheerleader demostrate leadership and dedication throughout their final year?
A: “Being a cheerleader as a senior has demonstrated leadership in many ways such as being a role-model to other cheerleaders younger than me, and more importantly being positive for not only myself but for my team and my younger cheer sisters. Dedication also plays a heavy role in being a cheerleader because cheerleading is a sport that you have to be dedicated to. You have to be dedicated to come to practice everyday, and show up for yourself and everyone else on the team. It’s not a selfish sport at all, so even if you have a long and/or bad day, you still have to be dedicated and committed to give 100% everyday. Dedication is also shown in many ways, especially being a senior given that this is a busy year for me. I have to make sure not only am I showing up to practice and games, I’m also being dedicated to my school work and making sure I stay on top of my work.” - Saniya Reado

The impact I personally feel like I’ve had on my team is having energy for my teammates and coaches and keeping us all on one page and having a great attitude and helping us to enjoy what we do.” - Saniya Reado
