HALEY ALBIN: NOT ENOUGH HOURS IN THE DAY-sponsored by Mary Anne Harris Agency

Wagoner senior cheerleader Haley Albin is finding that there just aren’t enough hours in the day when you’re a senior to do everything you want to.

“One of the things I had to drop this year was my involvement in FFA which I had done since eighth grade because of the time involved with cheer and FCCLA where I’m an officer. I do miss it and all the activities and the friends I’ve made,” said Haley who is also in student council and co-chair of the blood drive at Wagoner High.

Haley started off in dance when she was two years old when a new dance studio opened in Wagoner.

“My parents were new to the area, but the dance studio was doing a lot of advertising and mom wanted to get me involved in something, so she enrolled me, and I eventually got into competitive dance. Now with all the time demands I have I just take a couple of classes a year and I’ve performed in the local production of The Nutcracker. Around the ninth grade some of my friends decided to try out for cheer and I was looking for something to do to shake things up. I had cheered when I was younger but dance kind of took that over so I thought it would be a good time to pick it up again and I’ve loved it.”

 Her sophomore year Haley says there were some senior cheerleaders that really impacted her.

“I really admired Whitnie Owens, Reagan Peet and Ariel Luna. They knew what they were doing but were also quick to admit it when they made mistakes. They were the cheerleaders that I wanted to be.”

Haley is looking ahead to college next fall after her years as a Bulldog and has been accepted to Wichita State with applications pending at UCO and Rogers State and she hopes to study some area of medicine or psychology. And how would she like to be remembered?

“As someone who was a good listener and someone with an open mind and open heart that cared more about the team than any individual honors.”
