science teacher mr. Lynch pulled me off
26
00:02:06,170 — 00:02:09,170
to the side after class thought I was in
trouble
27
00:02:10,160 — 00:02:16,220

asked if I could do cross country just

tried it and I loved it and realized I
was really skinny frame six-foot-tall
31
00:02:26,870 — 00:02:31,700
eighth-grader so should probably get in
