Cheerleader Stands Tall

September 29, 2014 By Spirit Company

WOWT published Cheerleader Stands Tall, talking about a remarkable young lady beginning her cheerleading career.

Monday was Tate’s 17th birthday and one thing she always strives to do is keep things in perspective. “I’m really thankful for what I have because I was adopted from Bulgaria when I was 19 months and I complain about having one leg, I do. There’s so many people who have worse problems than I do and I’m thankful for what I have.”
