LIR: up to grade 8 I was always one of the shortest in class, but that summer I probably grew about a foot.

the tall girls that looked down on me were suddenly looking up at me.

I always figured that I was just about 6'1" but lately it looks like my arm span is probably 6'2" so I wonder if I'm actually that tall.
