Ok so it all started this past weekend when my big sister Anne and my nephew Brandon convinced me that I had to come with them to a WHS football game. Ok now I must admit that I was a little hesistant because the last time I was at a WHS football game it was not in the stands but standing on the track in my cheerleading uniform. I'm so glad that Anne and Brandon convinced me to go!!! The feelings I felt when I entered that stadium were undescribable. Watching Brandon jump up and down as Woodbury scored a touchdown and watching Katie dance to the songs that the band played made me so proud to say that I was once a part of that, and how desperately I was dying to be apart of that once again. It also didn't help that after watching the performance by the cheerleaders I felt embarrassed for them. All of the things that Anne, myself, and Esther had put into that cheerleading program had completely gone down the drain. So I decided that something needed to be done! I got some balls and wrote the athletic director at WHS a letter about me being the cheerleading coach at Woodbury. Cheering at WHS were some of the best times in my life. I remember decorating the halls at WHS and the boys lockers and the appreciation that they showed us was incredible. I felt so proud to wear that uniform( the uniforms that my family busted their asses to get me). Woodbury cheerleading used to be about school spirit and pride, something that it serious lacking now. So who better for the job than someone like me, who grew up in the football program and whose dream it is to coach that squad. So now I anxiously wait for a response, and hope that the athletic director gives me that chance. I know it sounds corny but it has been my dream since graduating from Woodbury to return and be the cheerleading coach at WHS, and I've had some great coaches(Marge Sebest) to show me how....so wish me luck!!!!
