Chin up

When I was in eighth grade, my gym class had to do these presidential fitness tests to measure our progress through elementary and middle school. I generally did quite well, and in both 4th and 8th grade, I earned an award for being in the top 5% most improved. I've never been particularly strong, and so I didn't really care either way. I was pretty proud of one particular test, though. We only had one chin-up bar, so everyone had to line up to use it. I think most averaged about three. Some of the jockier kids cleaned up around seven. Then it was my turn, and, having never really done chin-ups before, I did eleven. All the football and basketball players were jealous.

Last night, on the monkey bars of a playground, I did ten and a half. Oh yeah, I still got it.
