GIRL TALK: Wanna Be


 
When I was in 5th and 6th grade, I was on the top cheerleading squad. It was a BIG deal to every cheerleader. This squad would compete everywhere, and we were pretty good compared to the other elementary schools. Well, in junior high, I decided I didn’t want to continue cheer and so I joined color guard. Color Guard is a completely different sport than cheer and everyone is saying that color guard is full of a  bunch of “wanna be cheerleaders” and that we only did color guard because we didn’t make cheer. I’m embarrassed to be on color guard now. What should I say?

I think in life it is important to try new things to see if we are going to like it or not. If you aren’t enjoying yourself in the Color Guard, then I think it best to go back to cheerleading. However, if you are really enjoying yourself in Color Guard, do not let your friend opinions affect how you feel. At the end of the day, it’s all about making your self happy. Forget the opinions of others because most likely they are jealous or they are seeking attention in the wrong way. Girl, just tell them you like color guard and their harsh words do not mean anything to you.
