Cheerleaders Take On Keeping the Spirit
Keeping the spirit, and being in charge of raising it, is not as easy as it looks. Below two Seniors were interviewed about their experiences.
Gabby Hernandez: As mascot for 2 years and cheerleader 2 years my favorite memory was being able to stunt like we did and to bond with the other cheerleaders. Making the memories is really fun. The hard part: Sometimes you feel like you can't take any more drama or sore muscles. The reward: We went from last place last year to being in the finals this year! ADVICE: Don't make a big deal about little things. Live in the moment. If it won't matter in two years, don't fret about it. Do your best to make the memories while you can.
Thank you Delia and Gabby for the interviews. May the last semester of your school career at Granger give you more wonderful memories!
