College Event

The college event I chose to go to was cheering in the Salem State ice hockey games. I really love cheering. I have been cheering since my senior year of high school which is not that long but I loved it. I love how you can be loud, confident and cheery in the stands. I used to be a very shy person at the beginning of high school (sophomore and freshman year) so the fact that I cheer now and am just outgoing in general really makes me happy. I also really love the girls on the team including the captains. They are super nice and always willing to help. I love the cheers themselves. The cheers are like little dances with chants that are just really fun to do in general. I love even the little things like stomping hard on the bleachers when the game is getting close. I don't think my college experience would have been the same if I didn't do cheer so I am really glad I chose to attend and participate in something I love. Cheering at the games connected to my sense of place because I realize how much I love being with other people and meeting new friends.
