Did you (do you) suck in gym?

Eh, I think I was pretty decent when it came to actually doing something constructive with physical activities. Yet all we did was have free-time, so you would normally find me sitting in the corner by myself, crying everytime a ball striked me in the head.

Yeah. It dogged my confidence for the rest of highschool.

I did suck in PE in school I couldn't play football, basketball, nor play volleyball. I was slow and clumsy and was often picked last or next to last when on teams.

I sucked in it, but how can you fail that class?

I did feel down whenever going because I knew how bad I am and limb control, I was slow, but not too bad, but I always had these weird bursts of energy throughout gym class.

I could never aim the dodgeball correctly, and that always frustrated me.

I could throw a football with perfect angle and straighter then anything, but could I aim for anything? Not even close.

The annual mile, sure I could do that, but that was just because my mind wandered so much I sort of forgot I was jogging for eleven and a half minutes.

Basketball, meh, I hated it because I could never quite fully understand the teachers idea of how to shoot a basket(weird image just crossed my head). She would go "put it, and push it into the cookie jar". To this day it echo's in my head but they way I throw it into the net, it is never the correct way, but a couple times I could get it in, but at the right times, like when I was on a team.

We had this really cool thing in my elementary school class where the gym once a year had a bunch of different stations that were different parts of the human body, my favorite part because I could crawl through all the different tunnels and step differently around things and such.

Climbing the big rope was also my more favorites things, mainly because not many other kids could do it for some reason, so it was sort of neat to accelerate at SOMETHING.

After elementary school I was home schooled, so there was a couple home school gym glasses that were held, but those were the worst, because they did a lot more volly ball and baseball, neither of which I did well at, ever. So I hated that.

Then in my high school years we stopped gym, and I was really happy. I'm still fit in that aspect, but what's weird is, I am a bit heavier because obviously I don't move around as much that's bound to happen, but I can still bounce around like usual.
