And so I have stepped down. I mainly feel... relief. Most of my responsibilities have just fallen from my shoulders, and I feel so much more free! Now I have to try, as far as possible, to prevent a catastrophe from happening, then I can concentrate on the 30 Jun performance. I figured that may be my swan song, so I want it to be fantastic. That means it's time to plan! Labels: cheerleading
Actually I've been so eaten up by unhappiness with regards to this team, I almost forgot that we did have some good times too. I was looking through Claris' cheerleading pictures on facebook, and there were some that made me smile, and made me think, maybe I'll miss the times we've had. But I think the bad times override the good ones, so that's really too bad. Perhaps I've been behind the scenes too much, trying too hard to tackle everything single-handedly. Well, those days are over, it's bye bye stress...
I hope the new committee copes well. At least they'll have some help from Aces during the holidays. Please, for goodness' sake, get a confident liberty. It's a damn shame that so many months into cheerleading, a liberty is considered out of their league. I want to feel proud of performances, I cannot say that there's no shame in doing simple stuff using the kiddish methods. Or maybe it's like Poh said, I'm expecting them to be like me. Am I? I simply want them to push themselves to improve, to have initiative, to have the drive. If it happens to sound like me, it's a mere coincidence. I want to do more than elevators, full exs and toss to chairs! I have bigger dreams, but I think I'll need to take them elsewhere.
Perhaps I'll source around for another team to join if I want to continue cheerleading after I return from Japan, if I go to Japan.
