\u201cJoining cheer was the best decision I\u2019ve ever made\u201d<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u201cI was not proud of the bow, nor the uniform. I was proud of what it meant\u201d<\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I initially message the president asking to join cheer late in the term, I hadn\u2019t really left my bed in three months. I was then in hospital for about a month in December. After that, cheer was the only time I left my house for in a while. I just want to thank all of you so so soooo much for being so lovely and welcoming from the start, and just overall amazing people. I know it seems a bit weird, but being surrounded by you guys has really helped me this year so much and I am so much better than I was before so I\u2019m extremely grateful for all of you!!!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLeft me with inexplicable desire to wear red lipstick everyday\u201d<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u201cI would say it is hard work but satisfying, rewarding even\u201d<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u201cfivesixsassyeight Titans! [After nationals] We did so well yesterday and hope you all have enjoyed not just nationals but regionals, training and socials\u2026 the whole season! We all have improved so much individually and as a team! I am so proud of everyone that has learnt new tumbles, perfected challenging stunts and even those who have overcome personal fears. We have really been a dream team! It has been a perfect start and end :'(\u00a0 with you! Watch out\u2026 Titans coming through in the res white and blue!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI still find glitter everywhere\u201d<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u201cHighest point in my life\u201d<\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThought I was going to turn 20 alone in hospital, but my mummy came down, my friends surprised me with cake and balloons, and I was discharged just in time for my party\u2026 Ended up turning 20 while doing tequila shots in the union!! Also, [a friend] had to bring her pjs to Spring carnival because she was fully ready to stay the night in hospital with me, so yeh I have the best friends ever and I love them all xxxx\u201d<\/p>\n
