Go Eagles! Winthrop has changed quite a bit since I went to school there, in a good way. I had so much fun going to school at WU and there were so many different opportunities to be involved in campus life. The school was not too big and not too small. :) Hope you loved it as much as I.
CP is starting her 11th year in all-star; she started when she was 5 years old. She has also cheered 2 years middle school and is on her 3rd year as Varsity cheerleader for high school. She loves all-star because of the challenge and school cheer because of the social aspect. Also, I think it's...
These are colleges that are on her top 5 list anyway and she wants to visit to gather some feedback on her skills and hopefully gain some constructive criticism from an outside source, other than her all-star and high school coaches. You are definitely right, I wouldn't want her to attend a...

Thanks again for all of your advice. I have thought about all of these things: the expense, the grass not being greener, the loyalty, the friends/family loyalty thing, wanting my CL to continue growing....
Not snarky at all....I appreciate your honesty. I guess our family has some big decisions to make and pretty quick. Because let's face it, it will affect my entire family, not just my CL and me (the taxi driver). Grrrr.....I hate feeling like this!
At this point, my CL wants to leave. She loves her teammates, but is tired of working "so hard to get nowhere". She is 15 and has been on level 5 since she was 12. First it was restricted, then made the jump to a worlds level. They didn't even get a bid to Worlds, much less have a shot at making...
