The girls in kindergarten would chase us boys around trying to kiss us. I'm proud to say I was the first to stop running.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When I was a little boy, I always wanted to run. I loved competing with my friends.
Kids made fun of me because I was a slow learner, because I was hyperactive, because of a lot of things. Running gave me confidence.
I used to win at school, and some teacher said to me, 'Why don't you take up running like your sisters?'
Even at 10 or 12, I was a hot, fast little cheerleader.
It started in middle school. Once, a group of girls locked me in the janitor's closet. Another time, a girl spilled chocolate milk down a dress I made. Girls would try to trip me in the hallway.
I was the little kid growing up. I wasn't picked on because, honestly, I was fast, so I could run away from the bullies.
I went to an all-girls school for part of high school, and the idea of boys was amazing to me; like, all I ever wanted to do was kiss boys and be around boys.
I was in preschool and a girl actually kissed me on the cheek. I didn't know what to do. I didn't know what it meant, so I instantly grabbed her face and kissed her on the lips. And, then I got suspended.
When I was a kid, I was a pretty good runner, and there was nothing like winning a race.
I was running since I was 10. Since grade one at school people looked at me and thought, oh gosh she can really run, she's a natural.
