I was one of the fastest kids in my elementary school...
Apr 14, 2021, 9:27 AM
|
|
and proved this by coming in second in the 40 yard dash at our annual jelly bean field day. In middle school, I came in second in the 40 yard dash again, out of everyone in my class. I did not run the 40 yard dash in college.
I tell you this because finishing 2nd allowed me to have a unique perspective. I learned confidence because I was better than many children my age at running 40 yards, but I was also taught humility, as there was always someone just a little better. These lessons I think have served me well in adulthood.
Thank you.

So someone was fatter than you ... or just liked jelly beans more than you?
And you learned humility from this?
Sigh*
I'm going back to sleep.

Great story. Whatever became of the girl that was faster than you? Can't wait to hear of her exploits.

When I was playing tee-ball, some kid hit the ball to the right field fence. I ran from the pitcher's mound to the fence, then ran from the fence and tracked the kid down when he was trying to run from 2nd to 3rd. I was so much faster than him, faster than 99% of kids in my age group. Then I got fat off video games and fried foods. I was no longer fast. I probably could have been a professional baseball player, or soccer player. I was really good at soccer too.

In other words you don’t like to work. This is goes a long way towards explaining your political leanings.

Comrade, I've been working two jobs for the past 3 years while being full-time at Clemson.
All I do is work.

Well then, I commend you for that. Hopefully you will come around and realize that it’s not a good idea to give what you have worked hard for to people who had every opportunity to do the same and were too lazy to do so.

I'm a follower of Christ and he told me to sell my worldly possessions and help those in need. I understand if you want to selfishly look after you and your own family. Satan's influence is deep in modern society.

This is interesting but how does it help Tnet decide which coaches need to be fired and more importantly when?

Just bragging. I WAS the fastest in high school and as far as 2nd, I came in 2nd in the 50 and 100 meter at the Huntsman World Senior Games in St George, Utah at the age of 68. 10.000 SENIOR athletes from all over the world - I feel batter now. And at 78 couldn't do it again.

Any truth to the story you were held back several times (for science)? That would explain this anecdote and several others.
