Lindsey has been cheering on a recreational cheerleading squad for 3 years. Rec means...everyone cheers, there are no try-outs, just sign up and you will be placed on a squad.
This week she had the opportunity to try-out for themiddle school Basketball Cheerleading squad. She was so excited and worked really hard all week after school to learn the routine, cheers, and dance.There were 31 girls trying out for 16 spots. Many of the girls were on her rec squad.Many were on an "elite" squad. We were anxious to find out how well Lindsey would do.
Yesterday...the day of the try-outs....she woke up with a fever of 101 !!!If she missed school, she couldn't try out.
So she had to go to school sick, and then attend the try-outs in front of the judges after school. By the time I picked her up, her eyes were bloodshot and she was almost dizzy.She didn't care if she made it, all she wanted to do was sleep!
(But she had to attend a chorus concert an hour later back at the school)

Much to her excitement...She made the squad!!!!!
On a sad note.... Her best friend of 4 years did not make the squad.
It was so hard for Lindsey to be happy knowing her friend's heart was breaking.
Her friend Danielle was the reason Lindsey even got involved with cheerleading
She had encouraged her to sign up for rec cheer and was with her all three years on the same squad.It was quite a shock when she didn't make the team and Lindsey did.
I guess sometimes Life just isn't fair. I am happy for Lindsey, but sad for Danielle.
