extreme sports/using your head

[Guest guest]

Hi Shula, just read the article you found. And I think it is great so

many are able to participate in sports. However, in my own life (just

personal opinion here everyone) I found that I was at my own " personal

best " in 'competing' academically. There's nothing wrong with my brain

and I found over the years it was the best muscle I had.By the time I

got to college I was writing my friend's term papers (for a fee!) So

something happened along the line where I got really good at speed

reading, synthesizing concepts, critical thinking, writing and public

speaking. These 'skills' were further developed by many different jobs

and a wide circle of friends. The girl in the story who scuba dives I

could relate to, as I enjoy swimming/snorkling very much. Although I

still think my brain is best and strengthen it everyday.
