[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Guy here - I went to an all male HS and when I was a freshman I was very small - maybe 5’2” - and I[b] had a severe and very noticeable physical disability.[/b] All freshman got picked on but mine was pretty intense because of the disability. One day in a hallway a bigger upperclassman called me an “f—-ing cripple” which set me off and I hit him as hard as I could and the punch slammed his head into a locker and he collapsed on the floor and had to be taken to a doctor. It helped that I had two older brothers so I knew how to fight. I thought I was going to be suspended but when the principal heard the whole story it was the guy who I hit that got in trouble. After that I still got picked on because I was a freshman but no one ever again picked on me because of my disability. I guess it helps to be a boy. I’m sorry for what you went through but people can be really mean. [/quote]

From your wording - wondering if it is gone, you grew out of it, or it is no longer an issue?  Only if you feel like answering, of course. [/quote]

I’m ok answering it but thanks for asking. It’s been with me forever but dealing with it from birth has been good for me. I just wanted to be like every other boy playing sports but to do that I had to work harder and since I loved to win I worked really hard and played smarter. That determination stayed with me and I really believe that all of my personal and business success is due to having to deal with a birth disability. I wouldn’t change anything! I wouldn’t wish it on anyone but I’ve been blessed to have been surrounded by people (parents, siblings, wife, children) who have been incredibly supportive but who don’t see me as having a disability.
