Looking around the arena I see parents holding up signs made for their kids teams and I see lots of camera flashes going off everywhere. On the mat of the arena you can see hundreds of bobby pins and hair ties lying on the mat every 2 inches or so and you can see glitter falling from the eyes of girls every time they blink or move. The smell of hairspray fills the air in the arena, some girls are dancing to the blasting music that’s playing in the arena. You can see coaches talking to their teams telling them that no matter what place they get, they should know that they put their heart and souls into it and they had fun while doing it and that’s all that matters. Some coaches are gathering in little circles with the other coaches from that gym praying for their teams to do well. Inside I feel really good about my teams performance but right now it’s all about how much the judges liked our performance and if they think we are good enough to get first place…..
