<p>I used to think the kids in my class who didn’t do well in math were just lazy. But then I realized that people in my P.E. class probably thought the same thing about me, because I was SO bad at running, gymnastics, etc. I really think people DO have innate talents. I STILL struggle with anything involving large muscle coordination. When I take downhill skiing lessons, the instructor usually shakes his head and says, “Wow, I’ve never seen anybody ski quite like that…” When I went to physical therapy recently, the PT asked me to run on a treadmill and actually CHUCKLED when he watched me! He said, “Some people just aren’t built to run…” And then comes along my son, who could run a mile in 4:26 and was on a team that won a Junior Olympics national championship in cross country! He’s also gifted at math, so he’s unusual.</p>
