 Hi Luisa
I'm feeling great! I'm going to be a cheerleader for the school football team! I know you don't play American football in European schools, but here in the USA nearly every school has a football team. The football competition is a big part of our school life. Cheerleaders don't play, but they go to every match. They perform in front of the crowd and support the school team.  
There are 30 girls in our cheerleaders' group. You need to be strong and athletic. Cheerleading is a mixture of dancing and gymnastics and there are lots of difficult movements to learn. So we're going to work very hard - just like the footballers.
In the holidays we're having a cheerleaders' summer camp. We're going to train together for three weeks before school starts. Then from September to November we're going to practise for an hour every day after school. I'm going to join a gym so that I can get more exercise at the weekend.
Some people say that cheerleading is a silly activity. But at my school we think it's a real sport and we're very serious about it. There's even a cheerleading competition between schools in November - and of course we're going to try to win it.
Wish me luck! Love,
Antonia
