Abigail Cuadros is a senior at Jimmy Carter Early College High School. She is involved in UIL and cheerleading for La Joya High School for first-year varsity.
“This year was my first year cheerleading in High School, but years prior I was in the drill team for Domingo Trevino middle school,” Cuadros said.
Cuadros said she wanted to do something fun in her last year of high school and she has always liked how the cheerleaders should show their spirit in games and dance in pep rallies when she was younger, so she wanted to try it out. When she saw her number on the board she was so happy that she got on the team.
“My favorite memory in cheerleading was senior night because we got to meet the other cheerleader from the other school and play games with the other cheerleaders. It was so fun and I got to make new memories with my best friend and got more connected with my cheerleaders,” Cuadros said.
A lot of things inspire her to stay on track when it comes to her education and cheerleading. She does her work when she has free periods, so after school she can just go to practice and focus on the cheers. Her family inspires her to do her best in both school and extracurricular activities.
“I just love the vibe that my team provides, and absolutely love my coaches,”Cuadros said. “They have done so many things for me and they help me with my schedule. The girls are friendly, funny, and helpful. I made more friendships by joining cheerleading, and I will miss them once I leave.”
