In October last year i tried out for the first ever irish cheerleadind squad, which i didnt think i would actually get on since i was so stupid to go to the tryouts hungover. i didnt want to endanger myself by doing stunts but i was lucky enough to impredd them with my dancing. After making the squad i'd attend practice every sunday for three hours and sometimes longer untill worlds, which took place in florida disneyland on the 20th of april 2010. Training was difficult pain sweat and tears litterally! because i am just under 5 foot i was a flyer. this included big strong boys thrown me high in the air while i twist flip straddle and many more hard stunts. During one practice i broke a girls nose just because my leg was not tight enough coming down. Many people quit because they could not take the pressure or afford it but i stuck to it because this was a once in a lifetime oppatunity. i had never been any where in america and had only been out of ireland once without either of my parents for three days. Florida was 8 days of freedom which i needed form all the craziness of the past year. but no stupid freak volcano decides to erupt the day before our flight was due to go and causes all flights to be CANCELLED. no refunds no other flights available later. But to my surprise late that night got a message saying were going. Then i wake up i get dressed and am ready to go. then of course i get a text say that stupid volcano that no one knows the name of erupts again soo NO america for us.
Our coach tried to make it up to us by bringing us to trobolgin in cork for the weekend but it was nothing compared to what florida would have been. We gave cheerleading in ireland publicity and now we get told we all have to tryout again next year with no promises we'll get on with thousands of other hopefuls compared to about 200 last year. FML
