When I saw that it was posted, I was more nervous than ever before. I was nervous all weekend. As soon as I got that message from Emily, I got all excited but I almost wanted to decline the offer because I thought "This is too good to be true."
But I sucked it up and accepted, answered the questions and learned something about myself: I am a very impatient person. I was on my computer all weekend. I kept a page open just for Sasha's website, and refreshed every 5 seconds. And even though nothing changed, I could sense that it would be posted any second.
Answering those questions, the only thing I really worried about was the picture I had to send in. Being known as a "Sasha Vujacic look-alike", I wanted to send in a picture that "lived up to the expectations". I had a few pics of myself from the webcam on my laptop that were more up close but I also wanted to show my Sasha jersey. The pic that's up on the site, it was basically a quick, "we'll just send this one in and see what happens" kind of thing.
When it was posted, I had to tell my mom about it and even though she was "excited and happy for me", she didn't like the picture. She said that it didn't even look like me and that it was just a bad picture. I laughed and said "It all starts now."
By saying that, I believed that, while being a huge Sasha fan, being young, and being featured on my hero's website, I have a lot in store for the future.
