I hate it when people stereotype cheerleaders. They think that we are all
    -blonde
    - stupid
    -fake
    -princesses
    -skinny
    I am here to change that.  My name is Liz Dodson and here is a look into my life.
    
    We practice for months to perfect 2 minutes and 30 seconds. Football players go out halfway through a game with a broken ankle. We can't, we have to keep going, pretend it doesn't hurt, and smile. Cheer is a dangerous sport. You throw yourself under your flier to save them. I risk my life to do what I love. When we sign up we have to say that we know we could die. I am willing to take that risk.
