Junior High Trauma

OMG. 6th grade was hell. I was clumsy and awkward and the only student who didn't have a personal trainer for each sport we were required to play in PE. The one time I managed to hit the soft ball, I hopped up and down and celebrated and didn't notice in my excitement that I had actually HIT THE PITCHER in the nose with the softball. It was a bad bad year for the rest of the year after that happened. The girl I hit was gracious and got over it, but one more than one occasion I was cornered in the girl's restroom by other members of her posse....

Thankfully in 7th and 8th grade, I had a kind and sensitive PE teacher who understood and just let me walk laps during PE. No more basketball or softball trauma for me!
