When I was in middle school I decided to join the pom pon squad. I wasn’t brand new to dancing because I danced ballot, tap, and jazz for six years prior. In eighth grademy mom suggested that I try out for cheerleading team again for the basketball season since I cheered for football season already, but I decided not to because I secretly was starting to missing dance. That same year Grand Blanc Middle School decided to bring the pom pon squad to the middle school level so I just knew it was my opportunity to try out. This is a picture of my middle school and I pick it because it is the first place I joinedthe pom pon squad at. During tryouts I wasn’t nerves at all. Learning the combinations of the dance moves came easy. The first year that I was on the pom pon team was great I met a lot of new friends.

This is a picture of a soup kitchen sign. This picture demonstrates what the pom pon squad values because one thing it valued was compassion. As a team we had to goand help cook, clean, and serve the food which gave us a chance to think about other people and not always ourself. Being apart of a social group teaches you things that you can’tlearn by not getting involved. I think it also help defines apart of you. The reason why dance attracted me at first is because it gave me a chance to express myself. In this picture it is a person going from one puzzle piece to the other trying to get to success. Inmy opinion this picture represents my experience on the pom pon squad because,all thevalues and things I learned from being apart of the team I can take with me in life to help get me one step closer to
