Growing Up Tall

I was telling my coworkers the other day how, as a kid, people thought I was much older, but extremely dumb for my age. (because I was huge.)

People expected me to be reading books and writing novels and studying molecular biology when I was still learning to talk. Maybe that's an exaggeration, but people figured I was just... slow for my age, because I looked older than i was.

2nd Grade. Guess who's on the left.

  2. I got the same thing. I'm 1.90 meters, which is almost 6'3. It turns out I'm the only person in my family who is tall, which bothers my older brother a lot. But when I a pre-teen people had strange expectations. Come to think of it they still do:-)
