A couple months ago, I was watching America's Best Dance Crew (don't judge me). They had brought back all of the winners of past seasons to dance and then donate $10,000 to a charity of their choice. One of the "Crews" chose a charity called The Sparkle Effect. It was a program started by two high school cheerleaders in Iowa to include special needs kids with their cheer squad. I was really excited as I watched and heard from the girls who started it and saw the passion they had for it. I let it sink in for about a week and finally got online to see what it was all about, after reading I was sure I wanted to do it. I approached Ronnie, my cheer coach from Marion, to see if he would be interested in doing it with me - obviously his participation is vital. He was into the idea and immediately talked to some girls on his cheer squad who will be the core group of the program. About a week ago, paperwork was turned in to Mr. Bragg, the principal, for approval before we can start. So basically, we're just waiting for the "Ok" from him to get things rolling! I really hope that it all works out and goes well. I'm so excited I just had to let it out. :)
PS this is my 100th post!
