Extracurricular activities and accomplishments I am not part of any sport or athletic pursuits, despite my long legs and the many proclamations that I should be out for basketball. I have not been given gifts in such highly coordinated activities, and I’m afraid I’m too calm and I don’t handle aggression very well.
