Last week, I was able to go to the Washington Redskins training field and do a video shoot about the upcoming Fuel Up to Play 60 Make Your Move campaign launching October 29. When we first drove up, I saw a big white bubble that reminded me of a squishy marshmallow! The first question I had was, “Could I breathe in this huge white bubble?” The answer to that was: yes! The best make-up and hair artist was there to make us look spectacular. She fixed my hair and put make-up on me. It felt like I was a celebrity! It was never-ending fun with the best director, Mr. Jim. He made us do our moves perfectly! Some of us did gymnastics moves, and others did silly dance moves. The cheerleaders, Rachel and Allison, were so nice to teach us a dance to do on the set with them. It was so much fun; I couldn’t even tell how long we were there! We got to meet a Redskins player, Alfred Morris. He was kind and remembered everyone’s name.

I was with a few other students (my BFFs from my new school, Good Shepherd!) – Josephine, Gabriella, and Alexandra (Allie). They also had a blast. At first, I was a little nervous and I think my friends were too! It actually went super great and we had no trouble at all! Thank you for inviting me to this wonderful shoot! We are all looking forward to starting Fuel Up to Play 60 at my new school. We are all so excited! One last thing: Keep on being funny Alfred, and keep being awesome Allison and Rachel!
