Height Problems
Standing 6'5" is a sure sign that a girl was built for athletics. Rashad was definitely that girl. She played basketball in junior high and high school and got a full scholarship to Loyola University New Orleans because not only was she tall she had skills. I say "was" not because Rashad is dead but because she no longer plays basketball due to a strange circumstance that started to affect her height at age 18 and continues to plague her til this day. Rashad now stands at 4'11" and no longer plays basketball. If you ask her what happened, she can't explain it to you. One day she woke up and she was an inch shorter than she was the day before and it has continued to this day. Will the shrinkage stops? No one knows. Instead of focusing on the negative Rashad realized that she has another love, writing, and not being so focused on basketball has given her a chance to develop her talent. She will be graduating from Loyola in the spring with a degree in english and her hope is to one day publish her own teen magazine. She dreams to wake up one morning and be atleast 5'5" so that she doesn't have to struggle to reach things off the top shelf. :/
Being that I am a bit taller than the average woman, I will help you with the things on the top shelf.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the scholarship,I never knew that! And I feel your pain on being vertically challenged, we are the same height. I'm sorry about basketball but I hope you go back to it to prove that short girls can jump. We have hops to dammit !
ReplyDeleteI can relate. It's amazing the short jokes people come up with. If it's true about the teen magazine, I hope you do, and I hope it is successful.
