During high school, since I could not play sports, I was the manager of the Girl's basketball team. At first it was against my will. But eventually, I began to love the job. I was a high school aged male surrounded by women every day after school. I really identified with the girls better than I did with the boys. Being a teenage boy constantly surrounded by women was a dream come true.
Also, I was stage maintenance for the drama club. my grades were average for a high school student.
Of course I had all of the usual teenage angst that comes with being a teenager. Fights with my parents and all of the usual teenage stuff as well.
I started dating a cheerleader when I was a junior. She was the hottest girl in my class. I was flabbergasted when she said she wanted to date me. We did all of the normal teenage stuff. I finally started to feel normal again. By this point, I had regained all of the use that was going to return to my left hand. I still could not grab things with my left hand. My piano skills continued to grow and I started to compose a little.
By now, my growing condition started to manifest more fully. My left foot grew to size 15 men, while my right foot only grew to size 11 men. My left leg also did not grow as fast as my right leg. So, by the time I was a senior, my left foot was four sizes larger than my right, while my left leg was 2 inches shorter than my right. This meant that I hat to buy two pairs of shoes or have them special ordered.
I lettered for managing the girl's basketball team and for drama club. As a senior, I decided that I wanted to study music in college. So, I applied for the program at KCKCC. I got in and received a performance grant for 6 semesters.
