Wow that’s a tall woman! Or Geez she is sooooooooooo tall! How about the forgiving statement – gosh she doesn't look too bad for a tall woman. These are the statements I have heard all my life being said about me – it was tough growing up as the tallest girl in school.
I feel pretty good about myself these days – I actually feel really great about myself ! I love who I have grown into over the years..It has been a long road becoming the 512Doll (6 foot woman) that I am today.
Let me give you a peek at how a tall gawky ballet girl grows up.
It starts with “how’s the weather up there?” I can’t tell you how many times I wanted to spit and say its raining - Remember High School – or better yet – Jr. High School. I was standing in the middle of the “A” group in the lunchateria when Gene Young ( a very cool boy from the only trailer park in the hood) says to everyone – Geeez look at all the hairs in Cyndee’s nose! Or how I always was barefoot and walked in the gutter when hanging out with the neighborhood kids? In high school it was more of the same but by then I had developed this great sense of humor and made jokes out of it all. The thing was though, I never had a date or went to the prom or had a sweetheart and yep it did bother me.
My nickname was Big Bird (from Sesame Street) – it went on so long the new kids actually thought my name was Roberta!As the years went on I grew into this – 512 Doll standing in front of you – one step at a time. I managed to accomplish many different jobs and lifestyles on my journey. –There was always something missing. Self Esteem.
Funny, maybe I was good looking but who knew? All I saw when I looked in the mirror was a too tall gawky girl from Waverly Ohio.
