Exposure success

[momtecz]

The past few days were difficult ones for my daughter keeley. She has been a cheerleader for the last 5 years and she promised herself that this crippling sickness wouldn't take the only thing she had left ( dance gymnastic school ) have all be stripped by her anxiety . Cheer practice for tryouts began Wednesday it was for 2 hours and keeley hung in there the entire time with a gym full of girls and learned her dance . Last night she struggled to go in and finally did 45 minutes late and only lasted 10minutes before her anxiety took over . In the 29 minutes she did learn her cheer and then left . Tonight was the last practice and she made it the entire time! I was so proud of her and she also made the squad. As we watched the group do the cheer and dance I had tears streaming down my face as I watched her perform flawlessly . When she finished she walked over to me and said I did it I am the winner for today!! I sobbed and said yes you are! This was an Exposure assignment for keeley to attend practice and she did it!
