UCA National High School Cheerleading Competition
was not us. At this time you don’t know if you should think you didn’t place or that you placed higher. The announcer kept going and he got to top 10. Then the ninth place was Romeo. We were so happy! We thought with how bad we thought we did we would not have gotten 9th. Then it was large co-ed awards. Our friends from Salem ended up getting 4th place and Christian Brothers got 1st. After the awards were done we went and congratulated both teams on a terrific job. As a friend Steve from Christian told me, “It feels like we won the lotto,” that is how we felt. We may not have gotten first place or even top 5 but we made it and placed in finals our first year at UCA Nationals.
That night we all went to Pleasure Island and danced out excitement out. It was a lot fun to get to go dancing with all the friends we made during the week. After we left Pleasure Island we went back to our resort and went to the pool together. We all played games, and laughed together. It was one of the best days of my life.
It was sad that that night had to be our last there. The very exciting week had flown by way to fast. Sitting on the plane the next morning I realized that you have to live in the moment of things or it will all pass you up. I am so happy that I lived in the moment every moment with my team that week. Being with them made Disney World a whole different experience from every other time I have been there.
