Today I wish to talk about something that has been causing me great stress for some time. This topic is our high school's Homecoming. I am a cheerleader and that means that I have to do quite a bit of preparing for this one night. All of this preparing has caused me stress and the stress only increases as the time comes closer.
We must do many things in preparation of Homecoming. One such thing is learning a new dance to be performed that night. This dance must be made, taught, and perfected. It may not sound like intensive work to some but those who have experienced it know it is never an easy feat.
Also we, as cheerleaders, must decorate the gym where our basketball game will be played and our homecoming court will be displayed. Again it may sound simple but it is a big gym and we go all out for our decorations. Besides that small detail, we usually aren't able to begin decorating until the night before wich gives us a limited amount of time to make sure everything is looking good.
Those who are selected to walk in the homecoming court must find dresses and be prepared for that as well and I was fortunate enough to be selected. So I did as tradition says and found my dress and shoes. I have made plans to have my hair done as well.
This may sound like a lot of unnecessary work to some people or even most for only one night but it is a great thing to be a part of and it is a wonderful feeling when everything comes together.
