Anyways, Im a competitive cheerleader. Its loads of fun and conditioning which is pretty good :)
This is also my first year in high school and Im still getting used to all the homework and things we have to do after school.
Back to cheer, i have scoliosis which means my back is a little bit curved instead of straight. Because of this, they were able to wave tumbling practices for me but i had to go to at least 1 open gym a month which i don't mind. Due to homework, Ive missed a few in a row and my mom and coach told me i had to go today. In my mind, cheer comes second and school comes first. I really want to get a free ride to BYU Hawaii, and so i need to focus on school.
My moms, coach and I kinda got into an argument about which is more important so i finally just gave in and got ready for cheer. I walked outside to get in the car and my mom wouldn't let me in. Seriously mom.
So i ended up not being able to participate in another open gym, and my coach decided to suspend me from cheerleading for
1. Being rude to my parents
2. Missing practice for school
3. Not having good grades
WHAT?!
First off, what happens between me and my mom should stay between me and my mom. Cheer doesn't have anything to do with it.
Second, I HAD HOMEWORK. You have to have good grades to be a cheerleader and how am i supposed to do that when im at cheer
And third, the reason i was suspended for this was because they cant see any grades because teachers haven't entered anything yet so it looks like i have a zero.
All in all, im just confused on how i can get suspended for trying to keep grades up which is another reason i got suspended. That and my mom wouldn't back me up.
Just annoyed
One you probably need to change competitive cheer gyms because they obviously doesn't want you to succeed in school. At my gym my coach asks for our report cards and if we have something lower than a c we could possibly be kicked off the team. That's how serious they are about us having great grades. also you signed up for cheer so you cant just miss practices . remember you are on a team and that team needs you. Your mom is probably mad because she is paying all that money for you to cheer and you keep missing practices. No one has time for foolishness when it comes to cheer. that team ws probably waiting on you to make their routine so they could add you in. You need a schedule and if you really want to cheer you need to add cheer in there. I have a friend thats a junior this year and she goes to a college prep school , takes college courses at methodist U, travels every other weekend, goes to cheer every tuesday saturday and sunday , and still maintains a 3.8 GPA. She Even just had a recent injury and has the pressure of her coach parents and teachers on her shoulders. Its all about time and how you use/ waste it
You were handed a pass to walk. Take it,
shut up, earn the grades, and enjoy Hawaii.
Did I miss anything ?
You're doing a good job handling this. I don't have anything practical to say. Keep your head up.
Yeah, that makes no sense. You should talk to your coach one in one and if they still decide to suspend you that's incredibly bogus.
