Being a cheerleader in the summer of my sophomore yeargave me a new perspective about people and the stereotypes weput on them. Before I started cheering, I always categorizedathletes who lived only for sports as being "single- minded" and Ivalued more highly people with a more diverse of interests. After cheering for two months and discovered that I was notvery good at it, I realized that sometimes it is necessary to focusintensely on learning a new skill to excel. As a result of thisexperience I have learned to respect my peer's that stand out incheering as well as in other sports and not necessarily in theclassroom. I no longer am committed in cheering but thisexperience helped me to change certain values and to look deeperinto people before I judge. . notvery good at it, I realized that sometimes it is necessary to focusintensely on learning a new skill to excel.
