Update on Senior Project

MENTORSHIP:
Unfortunately I've been really sick these last couple of weeks, and I've been busy trying to catch up on all of my school work. Since I've been sick I haven't been able to practice cheer with my team or coach the youth rec teams I coach for mentorship hours. This weekend I have a competition coming up and I was luckily able to start cheering again on Monday. Since this is the weekend before a competition, and practice schedules overlap since every team in the gym has to practice every day, I will not be able to do Mentorship hours this week. However, starting next week, I'll be able to continue with my mentorship and coach my girls. :)

INDEPENDENT COMPONENT:
Again, since I've been sick I haven't been able to cheer lately, and even though I've started practicing again, my doctor still has not cleared me to tumble. My independent component is based off of me tumbling and improving in the tumbling aspect of all-star cheer, but I will not be able to start tumbling again for another week. Once I am fully cleared to practice again I will be back in the gym almost every day working hard to catch up with where I should be.

SCIENCE FAIR:
The only good thing that has come out of being sick is that I got to sit back and watch my team and other teams in the gym during practice as a spectator instead of an athlete. I got to see my teammates improve and witness our routine change due to more people gaining skills. I'm very excited to start documenting how our routine scores at competition this weekend and to compare how it is scored once it is changed again. Competition season is starting so I have to get ready to start collecting data.
