If you did not know I have been cheering at my school American Heritage (Patriot Pride!!) since I was in fifth grade. It was always a dream of mine to be a Patriot cheerleader and show my love and support and also my Patriot Pride through cheerleading. Growing up at Heritage I would wear my little spirit shirt and go to the football games and watch the cheerleaders do their thing and wanted to be just like them. So when the opportunity of becoming one of them came I right away took that chance. Now I have always been the little thick chick in the group. But being a Thick Chick is way better than being a Sick Chick. Now having a little extra meat on my bones NEVER stopped me from being sassy and SlAYING on the football field. I always put in 110% whenever it came to cheerleading, wether it was dancing or simply doing a cheer, I brought it all to the table. Now not to brag or anything like that but I was cheerleading and running in the HOT south Florida heat and picking up girls and catching them when I had a 7 inch tumor in me. I was diagnosed two weeks after my last cheer game and I LITERALLY had my doctors and coaches and peers SHOOK when they found out I was doing all that with a freaking stage 4 tumor in me. I want to thank all my coaches and athletic staff for always believing in me and never giving up on me. I especially needed my patriot family while I was going through this tough time. I could not possibly have gone through all of the craziness in my life without their love and support. So forever now I am SOPHIA STRONG and a PATRIOT for life!!
