A Personal Story, Told Twice
by Samantha Ettus
How are you telling your stories? If you told me yours, I could take it and retell it to you – in the positive and the negative. Here is a story of mine. I will tell it to you twice.
“I spent my childhood as a nationally ranked junior tennis player which made for some very abnormal early years. This led me to be an outcast. I never really fit in anywhere. I was either the tennis player at school or the academic city kid in the tennis world. No matter where I was I felt uneasy and I was treated differently. This followed me to college where no matter how hard I tried, I never quite fit in with any group. And in adulthood, it has been the same. I have a disparate group of friends but no real group I am connected to. Whether it is the moms at school, the workplace or childhood friends I never feel at home in any group. This makes me feel like an outsider.”
