My Young Self - Part 1
I use to tell people that I haven’t always been the keen specimen of human conditioning that I am today…but I’m finally able to admit that it is a lie. I have always been a stellar athlete. Check it out:

So, it says Presidential ACADEMIC Fitness Award. Doesn’t that equate to being a nerd? Or maybe they just gave you the award so that you’d feel good about your scrawniness.

If I recall correctly, and I probably don’t, we had to pass a physical fitness test and also have certain grades. Which was convenient because when the bullies came around, we could run away from them at the presidentially-required speed.
