I was selected as an All-American cheerleader all six years I cheered, and I was even honored with front-row placement in every parade and performance. My first trip abroad was when I cheered in the London New Year’s Day Parade at the end of 2019, and it was truly unforgettable. I rode the London Eye, ice skated in the old Tower of London moat, and explored the Natural History Museum. That trip sparked my love for international travel, and I’m forever grateful for it.
