new blog...
Over the years I have written in several blogs. As time passed my interest in those blogs fizzled, and I simply stopped writing. However, I must have a blog for Ministry of Writing. Once again my thoughts will become public.
I love Saturdays in the fall. The main reason being college football. I love football and have every since I was six years old. My older cousin cheered for the high school team(Wallace-Rose Hill Bulldogs) and my mother took me to almost every game. Since I am female one would think I would want to be a cheerleader--not me. I didn't fall in love with cheering, I fell in love with the game of football. I was much more envious of the guys playing than I was of Amy cheering. I didn't see why I couldn't play. At six years old, I was already aware of gender roles and how unfair they could be. I didn't see why girls couldn't play football.
I'm 23 and still very much in love with the game. I love watching Notre Dame football, but unfortunately the team is off to a bad start....I guess I better get back to watching them lose...
