Ashley Bivens says psychology is her kind of job
LIMA — When Ashley Bivens was 5 years old, her uncle took her to see a basketball game.
That’s all it took for her to fall in love, not with the game of basketball, but with cheerleading.
“I would just watch the cheerleaders,†said Bivens, who will be a senior this fall at Lima Senior High School.
Bivens, a varsity cheerleader for the Spartans football and basketball teams, began cheering in the sixth grade.
“I just always wanted to be a cheerleader,†she said. “I thought it would be fun. I always liked dancing and music and stuff like that.â€
Bivens is a student council member in Lima Senior’s Progressive Academy. This year, she has her sights set on being named homecoming queen.
