The Try-out

It was about 12:00 on Saturday and they were posting cuts for new Patriot Cheerleaders. I was one of the judges and when I walked in to help reveal the cuts I saw Nevra's face and could tell she was really nervous.

"And now ladies, Mr.Heins will pull back this curtain and if your number is on here you have made it to the final try-outs" Mrs. Heins said into a microphone.

Mr. Heins pulled back the curtain from the whiteboard and as numbers started to appear the young woman's faces began to light up.

Nevra was getting a little discouraged because her number was the last on the board but when the curtain was completely off she smiled and ran over to me and gave me a hug.

"Okay ladies hit the showers and tomorrow you will dance to a routine that we give you. Good luck and get plenty of sleep."

"Go hit the showers and I will meet you outside, okay?"

"Okay and thank you so much."

"Your very welcome."

(20 minutes later)

Nevra walked out with the biggest grin on her face. We walked over to my car and got in.

"You were so nervous when we walked in."

"Well yeah and then I got a little discouraged to until that stupid curtain came off."

I laughed. "I knew had the potential. Do you want to know what the judges said about you?"

"Yeah."

"They said that you have the willpower to do this and if you do really well tomorrow you could make the team."

"I have never been so surprised in my entire life. Thank you soo much this is the best experience ever."

"Your welcome."

(The next day)

Morning dawned and Nevra and I were already up getting ready to go to day 2 of the try-outs.

"Nevra, hurry up the judges don't wait."

"I am coming just let me get my bag."

5 minutes later we were in the car and heading for the stadium. When we got there I told Nevra not to be nervous that she can do it and she should do it.

"Go out there and have fun."

When she got out there she was having fun. I smiled and I pointed her out to the other judges and they all agreed with me.

After that was done all the judges assembled into a room and picked the girls that would stay and would leave.

Finally after all the arguing and voting we wrote down the numbers. Nevra's number was the first one on there. After the numbers were written down we wheeled it out removed the curtain of all 20 girls that made it and left the room.

10 minutes later Nevra came out as happy as a clown and we went home.
