There is always more to people than what others see. This is the case of senior cheerleader Dishante Pearson.

A senior from Columbia, S.C., fans know her as an engaging person and as kind as they come.

A standout cheerleader, Pearson started cheering when she was 12 years old. Always one to be in front of people, Pearson was also able to explore the world of modeling.

After dabbling in it initially, she has been able to become more involved in the ever-tough world of modeling. Recently, she was even in a magazine.

Upon earning her degree in mid-level education, Pearson wants to pursue modeling on an even bigger platform than what she does currently.
