My Boo Radley

Ok, so I didn't know what to talk about but while I was looking through my pictures on my computer to add to my post I found, well this one, a picture of me when I was six at my very first cheer competition. Before I got to the gym were it was held I was really really nervous. Although my cheer coach was a really big "meany head" when I meet her for the first time she seemed really creepy and weird like Boo. But once I started to get to know her more and started to realize that she wasn't scary or mean or any of the things I thought she was. When I was about ten and a half she left the team and I didn't appreciate that, nor did the only three people left on the team. Once everyone realized that she wasn't doing what she was supposed to and things she moved away without telling anyone. But for the 4 and a half years i knew her she had changed my perspective on cheer leading. At first I thought it was for a lot of preppy girls who only cared about was there hair and being rude and thinking everyone liked them when most people didn't. She also taught me a lot of life lessons that I am still using today. That is how she was my Boo Radley... sort of. =]
