"I
was so tall and skinny! I'm 5'81/2" tall, but I was almost that
tall in high school and I had these big hands and size 10 shoes
and weighed 90 pounds! I was always trying to slouch to cover up.
That's when my father told me, 'Lynda, girl, stand straight and
tall.' What he was saying was Be proud. 'So you're different-yes,
you're taller. That will change. Other people will grow a little
later than you have, you'll fill out to meet your own bones. But
stand tall and proud right now! It's important now-not tomorrow
when everything will fit!'" |
