    Just because someone can't physically do something according to a standard, doesn't mean people don't see the passion in what you're doing. People's spirits are recognized more than just a movement. Keep on killing it 👍

    im a dance teacher and plan on showing this to my students. I wish they had even half the drive and passion you do. To have the injuries you do and still say "no excuses" is inspiring. I understand your frustration with you body not allowing you to be as sharp as you want but I could clearly see a difference in your technique from the start to the end of the video. Give yourself some grace. I know that's easier said than done but you should be so proud of yourself and what your body is able to do. You are a miracle and I'm so happy you get to be back out on the field with your friends doing what you love. You more than earned your spot there. I have been and will continue praying for you sweet girl.

    You know, I am a 47 year old woman who has had disc disease since my late 20s but the last 5 years it has gotten so much worse where I have had to use a mobility scooter to get around if a lot of walking is involved (like grocery shopping). I can honestly say that I never could imagine that a 17 year old could teach this old girl a thing or two. You have taught me that its okay to rely on help. I've always been an independent person so this has been really hard on me and I always feel like people are staring and judging me when I'm on my scooter because I'm not the typical elderly person. You have taught me that it doesn't matter what people think and that I need to get out there and live life because the life has been moving along without me. I hope soon I can get to the positive attitude that you have. You are such a bright star is this dark world and I'm so proud of you and I know your family is too.

      Hi I also have Degenerative disc disease in my spine. Had my first fusion at 24yrs.. then an artificial titanium disc at about 29yrs. Those were both in my neck. Then I had surgery on my lower back L5/S1 in my 30's. That one wasn't successful and I now have almost constant back pain and I have Neuropathy in my feet now as well. I had to buy a wheelchair a few years ago. I was always so conscious of people watching me in the beginning. I'm turning 51 tomorrow. I'm finally starting to not care what people think. It makes such a difference. I have so much respect for Makayla and others who just get on with things. Hope I made sense. Strength to all.

      I can relate! I’m 18, have a herniated disc and was recently diagnosed with degenerative disc disease. The pain has recently gotten a lot worse to the point where it hurts to sit, stand or walk for an extended period of time without being in a lot pain. I got an epidural but it hasn’t helped me at all. I’m going on a trip in a couple of days that requires lots of walking and I finally admitted to myself that I need a mobility aid. I was discouraged at first because I’m nervous of what people might think of me considering I’m so young and have an invisible disability, but you’re totally right! It doesn’t matter what people think and honestly I don’t think they really care. We should be able to enjoy our lives without worrying what others think about us. I discovered Makayla recently and she’s helped me out a lot!

    Hey kiddo I’m 27 years into SCI and I’m still fighting with myself of who I was. Just remember you are doing so well, don’t beat yourself up.
    I’m really impressed with your progress.
    Always know we have to adapt, please know I’m not creeping your channel when I was looking for other channels with people in wheelchairs. I found it by chance about three months back and watching you struggle coming home from the hospital. I remembered what it was like. I encourage you to be your best self and keep doing what you’re doing.
    My children went through all their life with me being in a wheelchair and being a para.
    Your faith will also see you through the tough times, God never leaves our side.
    Congratulations on getting on the cheer team, this is what you need to keep u motivated.
    Exercise will help keep you healthy to, I do boxercise aerobics and wheelchair yoga, they all are so good for you.
    Blessings to you and your family.

    To be honest even though you can‘t do every motion anymore, you do it better than most people! Cheerleading isn‘t just about hitting your motions perfectly but it‘s all about the right spirit and you DEFINITELY still have it! This makes everyone forget about you not tumbling and instead doing a motion or you not being able to clap perfectly. Especially for highschool cheerleading, people focus way more on your spirit and probably most of the people in the crowd won‘t even see what‘s wrong about your motion. Keep up that great spirit and you‘ll keep being a great cheerleader 😘

      thats not realistic though to ignore. We dont usually ignore, we learn to tolerate. Tolerating can be more important to learn. An able bodied person can have mean things said to them too. Some jobs get mean things told to them daily and you dont ignore it. You cant ignore it, you learn to deal with it. You learn to read people and sometimes ignoring people... actually makes the situation worse! When you ignore people, even if its mean. Its not always their issue. Sometimes you dont and wont know what the issue is. Sometimes it has nothing to do with them either but you cant assume you know why they say mean things. We all say mean things, lets be honest about that. In a perfect world you wouldn't see mean people.

    You said, "I went from being strong to not being strong." But GIRL! You are strong! Mental toughness is the name of your game. Keep moving forward. Your physical strength will return.

    There are some dancers that have learned how to incorporate their chairs into the moves, even made it to broadway. Never give up! You are so inspiring!

    Makayla, we are always our worst critic, which is a strong force driving us to perfection. I was watching your arm movements, aware you had some current limitations, enjoying your choreographic modifications and then I saw your face. The beaming joy and excitement from your radiant smile and sparkling eyes just exploded from you. God bless that was amazing, you can't beat that girl. You can't beat that!
    You'll have time to strengthen muscles and get back those memory movements. Keep up the choreography mods and get the team involved. In my mind I see the potential for some sweet dance moves with you in your chair. Get super creative with it!

    You are so beautiful. That smile is gorgeous! You have an amazing vocabulary and very articulate. You are a future leader / coach / motivational speaker. Whether you're in or out of that chair - you are AMAZING, talented, strong, brave, smart and BEAUTIFUL!!! The chair does NOT define you. The future is yours to shape. Can't wait to watch you grow and embrace all your God-given gifts to the fullest. And there are many. Don't let anything or anyone hold you back. Hugs and more hugs from Houston!

    OMG CONGRATS ON MAKING THE TEAM!! I have so many things I want to to say, but one, you looked really really good at 12:30. Your movement quality was awesome, voice and face perfect. You definitely will pump up the crowd. Also your arms are crazy toned!!!
    Your team is lucky to have someone with so much perseverance and I know you will work hard and practice more than anyone else. They are BLESSED. Also, you can definitely give your teammates tips and tricks because you’ve done elite cheer, so you’d be a great help to them.
    Last, this is just so awesome and inspiring. Please keeping posting cheer updates, can’t wait to see more cheer content and see your progress, girlie!!!

Girl if you are doing this good now, I can’t wait to see how you will blow it away as the season goes on! Give YOURSELF some grace! You are amazing and doing great things.

I was asked to do the alumni dance with year, I had to turn it down because I was scared I would push myself so hard I hurt myself. I know it’s not the same but I feel you sister. Keep it up

    Congratulations on making the team! You looked great cheering. I think many of us can relate to having to cope with a different version of ourselves (due to illness or disability). Thank you for being honest about your feelings and showing us that we can persevere and triumph. Looking forward to seeing more cheer videos of you in the future!
