Oh mah goshhhhhh! So embarrassing. But it had to happen and I am so glad that it did.
When I was a high school freshman, I wanted more than anything to be a cheerleader.
One major problem: I am one of the clumsiest and most uncoordinated humans you’ll ever meet. Please don’t ask me to throw and catch things, make a basket, hit a target, jump rope or dance in unison. Doubt me? I once fell into a ditch riding my road bike because I couldn’t unclip my shoes from the pedals fast enough. LOL
As I watched my friends at try-outs elegantly tumble across the gym floor and perform stunts while I awkwardly attempted to make it through the most basic of dance routines, I knew this was not my zone of genius.
It was no surprise when I wasn’t chosen to be on the squad.
While I was not athletically talented enough to be on the cheer team, I was without a doubt, loud and enthusiastic.
“A good cheerleader is not measured by the height of her jumps but by the span of her spirit.” HOLLA!
So what did I do?
After I cried my eyes out, I started my school’s first Pep Squad. Y’all, I bought pompoms and a megaphone. I gathered up all the other perky and loud freshman and we did the damn thing for our female basketball team. #foreshadowing I began my career in hyping women up at 15 years old.
