Emmalyn Branson '27 Recruiting Profile

I am sophomore this  school year 24/25. I am currently undecided on what to major in. I am currently looking into prospects with my guidance counselor along with my mother's advice.  I feel that I am capable to conquer my dreams and goals once I have them set in place. I feel that I am very athletic and capable to fulfill any role that is given to me. Iin grade school I played basketball, softball, cheer and dance. I attended tumbling classes as well.  I currently have standing tumbling and running tumbling to a layout. I haven't been consistent with tumbling classes due to having to travel an hour to an hour and a half to a gym. The varsity team that I currently cheer with has been a great asset for me. My 8th grade year I was asked to compete with the Varsity team at UCA Nationals. My freshman year we competed at UCA Nationals in Medium division and came out 10th in the Nation.  From 3-8th grade I cheered and won the county cheer competition every year but 1 and we were 2nd place. I played basketball 3-8th grade and won the county championship every year but 1 and we were 2nd place. My freshman year was a great year for my first year on varsity.

Academically, I do struggle. I have taken honors courses in Algebra and English. as of now I have passed with an A in each. I have taken a foreign language (Spanish) and have passed with a B. My current GPA is a 3.7.  

Cheer, along with my grades, are very important to me. It has helped me build character. It keeps me honest. It can be stressful at times managing practices, games, school and personal life. But I honestly wouldn't have it any other way, I enjoy representing my school, team and community.

I think one of my goals, as of now, is to become an UCA Staff member. I think I would be good at that.
