I’m a follower when I should have been a leader Looking back on my high school days I wish I could wish all the memories away Freshman year I was a nobody Just a skinny shy little hispanic girl forced to fit in this chaotic world that people called high school. I wanted to belong so I joined the cheerleading squad there was no stopping me I then joined volleyball and track Soon I was surrounded by people who wanted to hang out with me I rose to the top and I never came down I was starting to like these people the incrowd I changed the way I dressed bought some new clothes and a new attitude and became obsessed with parties, shopping and the way i looked I had transformed from a shy little girl to a pop culture princess I only wanted to impress everyone but myself I became the queen bitch of popularity better than everyone My grades slipped because I was never home studying wasnt that big of a deal my weekends became packed with parties and shopping with the girls I didnt see that I was turning into a poster child for Miss Perfect well almost guys were calling me everyday I could get them in if they hung out with me when everyone was starting to love me I started to hate me this isnt what I wanted I just wanted to fit in I didnt expect all of this One night I stood outside myself looking in and I didnt like what I saw I was a front a fake my ego had grown but my confidence had taken a terrible fall Around these people I could never be myself they werent really my friends just posers like everyone else It was soon that I came to the reality that I was a follower when I should have been a leader Out stepped my self respect and in came the head cheerleader
