Cheerleading try-outs were coming up in a week and I really wanted to make the squad this year. All of my friends were on the team and I loved cheerleading so it was so important to me. I get nervous a lot so I didn't want to blow my chances so I worked extra hard to make sure I knew everything. I was practicing every day to make sure I was good enough when try outs came around. I had the routine and dance memorized perfectly and I had a good feeling about making the squad this year. When try-outs day came I was so nervous but I practiced so hard. When it was my turn to go, I threw up all over the place! I guess my nerves got the best of me. Luckily they let me try out the next day but I was still so embarrassed about that! I made the squad but everyone still teases me about it.
