Most Embarrassing Moments
posted on February 22nd, 2008 by Kristi Sparks
Well okay, I’ll start this blog out with a post about good ‘ole memories. What were your most embarrassing moments of our senior year? I had two pretty bad ones. I bet you don’t remember them unless you know me well, but I sure do. The first was the last football game before the championship, and I was cheering on that cold night. We played Rock Hill at Rock Hill, and you know, I can’t even remember now if we won. I think we did, but I need to look it up I guess. I was talking to some friends on the field after the game, and I looked up to see our bus pulling slowly across the grass on to the road.
“That’s not our cheerleading bus,” I thought. “No, there’s no way it left that fast.”
Oh, but it was… and I started running behind it. I ran and ran the whole way out of the campus. It was dark, but surely they would see me. Nope. I ran all the way into the street with my pom pons, megaphone, and bag. And as fast as I ran it left me in the dust. I laugh thinking about it now, but then I was pretty mad. It wasn’t that terrible, but I had to wait about an hour for the football bus to take me back with them. The best part was Jacqueline Turner and Julie Rogers told me back at school that they never even noticed I was missing until they stopped at Hardee’s! 
The other one happened during cheerleading, too. I had some star moments when I was cheering I guess - haha. Coach Evans asked me thirty seconds before the announcement buzzer to sing the National Anthem at a home basketball game because the trio didn’t show up that was scheduled. How he knew I liked to sing was beyond me, but he shouldn’t have asked. Really. I went blank about three lines into the song, and everyone just stared at me. I remember Will Gaston and a couple of other people in the stands laughing and starting the song back for me, and pretty soon everyone joined in including me. If you were there, you had to remember. It was hilarious.
I guess it’s those moments in life that we all need sometimes to make us stop and laugh at ourselves. Some of us just have more to laugh about than others!
What did you do that made you want to run and hide? Do tell…so I’ll at least feel better!

I sure don’t remember that I have an embarrassing moment, but I am sure that someone else does… So any memory triggers…

I am sure that I had plenty of embarrassing moments. Probably more than I care to remember!
