Cheer

 I am so mad. I dont understand why the year of cheer has to be over, for basically no reason at all. Cheer is my passion now , I love cheer. Its something that I am  comitted to. It has to be over all ready...Why? We won first place at our Six Flags competition, wanting to win in Vegas and now we cant even do that. Im so mad because our cheer year doesnt even have to be over,  just becase two people said no then it is. I basically put my all into cheer for no reason and for what it to just be over.
