My grandpas farm is a few miles to the north. I grew up there. Milking a cow, feeding the chickens and cutting firewood were daily routines. Grandpa had me carrying a broom to do snow cleaning when it was actually taller than I was. This was the work kids like me learned to do at a young age.I was tall, very tall at a really young age. My unusual height caused people to look, ask questions, laugh, tease, and sometimes even challenge me to fight. I was teased cruelly as a kid. It wasnt fair, I knew, but that was just the way it was. Luckily, I was taught at a very young age a very important lesson. I am different and thats OkayIm unique and I matter. No one could ever take that away from me. I knew this then, and I know this now. That alone helped me through the frustrations and heartaches of normal life.When I was in junior high school, I realized something else that helped me cope. Most teasing came from one of two placespeople who were either jealous or ignorant (愚昧). I couldnt change the way they were, but I could change the way I felt. I was not going to feel bad because of their ignorance or jealousy. It wasnt worth it. Realizing this didnt stop them, or change the fact that these comments hurt. It did, however, give me a way to understand these people and deal with their treatment in a way that was okay for me.These things still happen today. It will probably happen the rest of my life. I will always be 7 feet, 6 inches (2.29 meters) tall. I wouldnt change that for anything. People will always look because it is not every day that you see someone that tall. I learned that at a young age and I now try to teach my own children that they are unique and they matter. That is the message I give to you. Regardless of your race, religion, background, or circumstances .
