Height

I am a short 5'1. When asked my goal in life in elementary school I said I wanted to be 6'3, thats right I didn't want to be a doctor or a lawyer or an actor I wanted to be 6'3. I figured that as long as I was tall enough I would have enough skill to make the WNBA which started when I was in grade 5. But of course that didn't go through, and neither did the dreams of my fellow classmates.

Because I am short I hate it when someone is tall and doesn't use their height for athletic reasons. I hate the tall people who are clumsy and can't jump, I mean what a waste of height. I guess its the same feeling as someone who is really smart but doesn't bother applying their skills. I really wish we could donate/trade off our skills and attributes. I mean maybe the tall 6'7 guy who can't jump really wants to know french and would be willing to trade my a couple of inches of he's height for it. Or maybe a tall chick who needs my kidney would be willing to give me a foot of her height. Unfortunately this isn't possible so all you tall people better learn some basketball or volleyball and enjoy your height.

Wouldn't it be even more cool if we could change our height? Like be 6 ft sometimes and 5 ft at other times? I'd definitely trade one of my kidneys for that!
