As a 22-year-old, Sharon Simmons wanted to become a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader. She was a single mom at the time, though, and because of that and other reasons, she never got a chance to see it through.

More than 30 years later, she finally has that chance.

Simmons tried out for the prestigious Cowboys cheerleading squad on Saturday in Arlington — as a 55-year-old grandmother.

She already has author, fitness competitor and actor on her resume, so she’s decided to try and add Cowboys cheerleader as well.
