![“Something exciting in my life right now is cheerleading. I have been [doing competitive cheer] for five years. I always wanted to be on a high school cheer team and be a part of that [community]. Even though cheer is something I look forward to every day it can clash with some of the other things I really enjoy doing. For example, when I want to hang out with my friends after school I can’t because I have [practice]. Time management and balance are things that get pushed to the side because of it too.

But I think with practice and more time I will be able to get a good balance on everything.”-Zowie Hrabak, 9](https://pwestpathfinder.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/zowie-hrabak-9th-1200x800.jpg)
