Without Limits

I watched the film "Without Limits" on my way down today. I realized something. I have never had complete and total faith in myself. I have always asked "what if?" at some level. Steve Prefontaine lived life having complete faith in himself. When asked what he believed in he said "I believe in Me." I think that is a more powerful statement than one would think at first glance. To believe in oneself. That's a big leap of faith. That is believing in an imperfect being and trusting that yourself is enough in all of your imperfections. So today I choose to believe in myself. Despite my imperfections there are so many things about me that make me more qualified than anyone else to be a Marshall University Cheerleader. If nothing else, I love this school more and know it better than any one of those girls. Unlike them I am a cheerleader at all times and I represent myself, my family, my God and the university everywhere I go. There is a spirit in me that no one else has. I have a passion and a drive that not one of these girls has. I have an optimistism and a work ethic that when compared to theirs is almost embarrassing for them. Not to mention do I do the fight song like I have known it all my life and stunt like I was born knowing how. And when I dance the floor is all mine. Sure they may have tumbling but I am the whole package and I will be the one with the last laugh when it is heart and desire that prevail over show and vanity.
Tomorrow will be even better than last week. There will be more people but it is ok because that means I get to shine even brighter. I will have a leg up on girls who haven't learned the material or stunted with the new guys. And even though the gym will be more full, it won't matter because I will be the one owning the room. I will be the one that people look at and say "Who is that? She's amazing!" There is more to me than tumbling. I am so much more than my weak areas. I have more strong areas than all of these girls tomorrow and I will turn heads all day long and make the coaches say "We have to have her."
I refuse to set limits for myself. The sky's the limit? I say there is no limit
