Being an England Mascot - Mia's Report
When Mrs O’Riordan, the teacher told me I was gong to be an England mascot, I was very happy. I thought is this really happening? I thought I was dreaming. I didn’t even know they were choosing a mascot from school.
I’ve always wanted to be a mascot though. I’d seen them walking out at West Ham and thought, ’I’d really like to do that’.
I was very excited and wanted to tell everybody. I told Daddy as soon as he got home and that night I phoned Grandad and Auntie Laine.
I couldn’t wait for the day to come. Everybody was talking about me and coming up to me and saying, ”I’ll watch you on TV tonight’. Other parents kept coming up to mummy and saying, ‘Well done’.
I started to feel nervous during the build up. We had already practiced on the pitch when the stadium was empty. When the players came out of their changing rooms I kept telling myself to relax and smile. I kept waiting for Wayne Rooney to come out.
When we got onto the grass it was quieter than I expected. I didn’t look around, I looked straight ahead just as I was told.
After they led us off I went up to the stand to watch the match. The time on the pitch flew by.
I watched the match and felt very excited; happy to have been the mascot. I thought: wait till tomorrow, I’m going to be the most popular person in class. .
