Cheer leaders or what?

I Have never been a cheer leader nor truly cared to be, I think it is amazing how the young make up routines, however all that the make up I am not too keen on, nor the clicks of it all. Never the less that been put aside what is a cheer leader? I always have boasted that I have had a few cheerleader along my way. These people mean nothing perhaps to some people, but to me they have helped me to believe more than I felt I could alone. These are the God's squad of cheer leaders.
Friends encourage me as I continually apply for jobs and today my daughter was told that a friend of hers had said at her old school that she was her cheerleader always encouraging her.
My other daughter is such an encouragement as well to her friends.
Cheer leader they don't always come with make up and little skirts and doing cartwheels they often come in people wanting to make a difference and wanting none of the applause.
Which cheer leader are you?
Please have a cup of tea with me today.
