I also am a December child, and started 1st Grade at age 5. (I started my Senior year at age 16!)

I was small, and sickly, and got picked on a lot. Getting into athletics was my salvation from that - I had plenty of BIG football friends. However, looking back, it seems that I was always more immature than my classmates. I never really grew up until I was 21 and joined the army. After that, I knew what | |
