Well, it's official. Sarah is done with cheerleading. The high school had their tryouts last Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, and Sarah made the choice to not try out. I think she was sad that she's done, but more so because she has done it for so long. She had been hemming and hawing about whether she was going to try out. She still can't do her back flips though and without that, I don't think they would have allowed her to make the team. Plus, she wasn't happy with the choice the AD made for the varsity coach (and quit frankly, neither were Kris and I). But up until a day or two before she was still considering it. We told her that if she really wanted to try out, she needed to let us know so we could get all of her paperwork turned in, but the night before she finally decided not to.
We made sure that she was happy with her decision, which is when she said she was sad that she wasn't doing it anymore because it had been such a large part of her life since fifth grade. But quite honestly she said she was happy that she would finally have some free time, and didn't have to put up with all the drama.
So now she will be free to do some other things. So far she likes her job, so maybe that will turn into a year round thing. Plus she has wanted to do some other things at school, like a club or two, maybe be on the yearbook committee. So while it is sad that it's over, it just opens the door for other opportunities.
