My Boo Radley would have to be my father. I would say that my Boo Radley is my father because he has been instrumental in my upbringing and has been a huge part of my life. He has not been much of a hero in my life because I have never been in that much danger to have to be saved. My father also has great social skills, unlike Boo Radley. It seems to me that my father knows just about everyone.

Something that I find scary and a little creepy is starting something new or being in a new place where i don't know anyone. When I lived in California, I started training at a soccer camp every Wednesday night. It was called the Bridge Soccer Camp and it was run by two Brazilian men. These men's names happened to be Rildo and Naldo. Rildo played on the Brazilian National team and Naldo played on the Los Angeles Galaxy when they won a championship. To me the first night was a terrifying thing, but my dad was there to help me through and more or less force to me to go after my nerves had already told me that I didn't want to go anymore. I went the first time and had a great time and continued to attend this camp until both of the coaches went on a long trip. By the time they had returned I had already moved back to Washington.

My dad is there for me whenever I need him to be and then he's there even when I don't want him to be but he needs to be. He's fairly young for having four kids, but is wise beyond his years and always helps me to make the right decision. He keeps me from the straying from the right path and keeps me striving to be better.
