Seventh Air Force

of summer before seventh grade started I was kind of nervous because I didn’t know what to expect.

I have always had an attitude of a leader. In sixth grade I was apart of student council up until 7th grade. Towards the end of my seventh grade year I applied to be in NJHS or National Junior Honor Society and in May I was inducted.

When I was little starting at just 4 years old I cheered for my little league football team in my hometown. What town is that? You may ask yourself. Well it's good ole Ocala Florida home of the horses and home of me. Anyways I was the "mascot" and not the typical put on a costume and cheer the team on mascot, but a cheerleader that got to cheer with the big girls and not have to do as much. Sounds like the life, doesn't it? Well honestly it was. I was just as passionate about cheerleading as…
