"My Boo Radley"

Everyone has a different "Boo Radley" in their lives, that come from personal fears or fears that we have all had at some point in our childhood. An example of one of my "Boo Radley's" was my first club volleyball tournament. I was extremely afraid the day of my first tournament because I had no idea what to expect. I knew that they were going to be a lot harder than my experiences with volleyball games so far, but I didn't know how different they would be and the simple fact of the unknown is what scared me most. I was also afraid that I wouldn't do well because there were many people around watching and tournaments are taken a lot more seriously than the YMCA games I had played in.
Although that first tournament made me nervous, I am glad I went and had the experience. This is similar to Scout's experience with Boo Radley, because the idea of him made her nervous at first too since she didn't know anything about him besides the rumors that went around the neighborhood. The unknown is what made Boo Radley scary to everyone, just like the unknown made my first volleyball tournament scary to me.
I have played in countless tournaments since my first one, and have had a blast ever since. I have never been as nervous for a tournament as I was for the first one, because I knew what to expect after that. After Scout met Boo and talked to him, she was no longer afraid of him but almost friends with him. I am no longer afraid of tournaments but now look forward to them and love them.
Although Boo Radley and my first volleyball tournament are completely different things, they relate to Scout and I in similar ways. Everyone has their own "Boo Radley" and they could all be completely different or very similar depending on who you are.
