Do you think I look like an athlete now in my OFFICIAL UNI LETTER JACKET?
No?
That's okay. Neither does anyone on campus. They give me looks like "What sport does this little girl play? She can't be a volleyball player with those stubby legs. She looks too out of shape to be a soccer stud. Who does she think she is?"
Well, this kid was a cheerleader.
(There will be no conversation of whether or not cheerleading is a sport or whether I am an athlete and truly deserving of this jacket. Because I assure you, I am.)
I am so excited to have this new addition to my winter wear. Not only do I feel kind of cool in it- but it is a historic piece! Athletes from 40 years ago have the same coat. Pretty sweet, eh? I like to think so.
One day, my daughter will pull it out of an old storage bin, shake the dust off of it, and ask where it came from. Then she will feel amazing wearing a vintage UNI letter jacket.
She'll love it. I just know it.
