This was my favorite part of cheerleading because a bunch of teams from different schools come to compete against each other to see who is the best. We put up flyers around the school so people could come and see us, but they never did and some were even taken down. Now, as far as our cheerleading team was concerned, we weren't that good yet because we had an inexperienced coach who didn't know how to choreograph dances or cheers. So we kept getting teased and not taken seriously by our classmates, which was extremely annoying because we just wanted some respect for the work we did. By the time our second year arrived we were starting to get tired of never placing in competitions and, luckily for us, we had a new coach the next day..
