Emily Jo Cheers at Johnson County Community College

We signed up Emily Jo for Bitty Cheer through the YMCA.  It was three Saturdays of practice and three Saturdays cheering at Bitty Football.  So not too much commitment but enough to get her exposed to the activity that she "seemed" so obsessed with.  Well, we quickly learned that she wasn't nearly as interested in actually cheering as she was the idea of it.  So much so, we did not even go the last two weeks because she flat out would NOT participate.  She would just stand there!

THEN her coach got invited to bring the YMCA cheer squad to JCCC for a halftime performance.  When I asked Emily Jo if she would like to do that her ears perked up and she promised she WOULD participate.  So, we attended 3 practices in which she actually half-way did participate in.  We still weren't convinced about the performance to come on the big court in front of a crowd.

And once again, our worry was proven wrong.  She did wonderful and so did all the other girls!  Such a good experience for the girls to see their hard practice pay off with a great performance!  So glad we did it after all!
