\u201cDo you hate being tall?\u201d<\/h1>\n
\"Homecoming<\/a>
Kristina and her homecoming date<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This is a question that I have been\u00a0asked twice<\/em> in the last seven days. (If I chose to swear here is where I would say hel…lo no.)<\/em><\/p>\n

I love being tall! It\u2019s a part of who I am. I remember when I was\u00a0in the first grade kids thought that I was a fifth grader (just because of my height). You should have seen the shocked looked painted on my classmates’\u00a0faces when they realized we were the same age!<\/p>\n

I haven\u2019t always loved being tall. When I was in the seventh grade, I came\u00a0to the conclusion that girls would always be taller than boys and there was no hope for us tall girls. I remembering hating being tall and always slouching sunconsciously. My older sister called me on the phone one day and talked to me as if she was\u00a0looking me straight\u00a0in the eye and explained the beauty of being tall. From that day forward I\u2019ve had a different attitude about being tall. Instead of hating my height I have chosen to embrace my height.<\/p>\n

Let me tell you a little thing about being tall.\u00a0It most definitely\u00a0has its advantages. You can reach shelves and books, you are almost guaranteed a middle spot for pictures, and you can give amazing<\/em> hugs. However there are<\/em> drawbacks…<\/p>\n

My friends, one of the biggest drawbacks is dancing.<\/h2>\n
\"Kristina<\/a>

I have considered writing a blog on dancing and the humor<\/em> it brings into my life. That\u2019s right – the humor<\/em>. You see, I happen to be the tallest girl in my\u00a0dance company and man, does that bring challenges!<\/p>\n

Especially when you have to do lifts.<\/p>\n

With boys who are shorter than you.<\/p>\n

Just a few weeks ago we were learning a new death drop (sounds dangerous right? I\u2019m pretty sure it is….) and there is a\u00a0part where the girl has to\u00a0extend her\u00a0leg at waist level and the guy catches her\u00a0leg to keep balance. Then you \u201csimply\u201d lean forward (and hope and pray that the guy doesn\u2019t have to sneeze and drops you on your face…) I extended my leg (which is the twice the size of my partner) and instead of leaning forward I feel the guy slowly being pulled by my body! I think I might have had to leave the room because I was laughing so hard.<\/p>\n

So what if it has its drawbacks? Being tall is fantastic! The fact of the matter is I have chosen to embrace the beautiful six feet I have been given, and it is your choice to embrace\u00a0your height too. No matter how tall or how short.<\/p>\n

You are beautiful.<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n

Are you going to embrace it or hate it? I can tell you that the first option\u00a0will make life much more delightful than if you choose the second.<\/p>\n

The choice is yours.
