ONE CM. Ok. Fine. Decided to join the Navy instead as a mine warfare specialist. He didn't like that, LOL, was all, "But you'd be great as an engineer." Pffft! Didn't want to be an engineer! <br /><br />Two - Told by an older man when I was 16 I could never be a secretary (dabbled with the idea of being a paralegal PA for about 5 minutes, then decided being a barrister was much more fun!) because I didn't have long enough legs. Say what?! I didn't realize I'd have to type with my toes.*glances at said appendages* I'm *sure* I could reach the keyboard if I stretched far enough... :)Michelle de Rooynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-14040888795339968802012-06-25T09:38:33.122+10:002012-06-25T09:38:33.122+10:00Cath, that's great to hear!

LOL<br /><br />MY careers teacher very kindly informed me that I was too short when I stated I wanted to be an astronaut or police woman.<br /><br />And I loved playing basketball through my high school and university years - made it onto the team no worries but come regional selection time, not a chance. I can remember a friend who was close to 5ft10in., all arms and legs and totally uncoordinated, being chosen every time regardless of her ball handling skills because of her height. Got my goat every time!Kylie Griffinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00469214884337936604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-12268398405594129862012-06-24T18:55:19.121+10:002012-06-24T18:55:19.121+10:00What a perfect first kiss....so sweet.

Lovely smooch- so much vulnerability and passion.<br /><br />The oddest discriminatory comment I ever had was from my careers teacher...When I told her I wanted to be a nurse, she replied- 'you won't get to be one. Don't bother. Short women never get anywhere in life.'<br /><br />So- 20 years' worth of nursing and 2 published books later I hope I proved her wrong.Louisa Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02516084905261935607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-17050033988420027692012-06-24T15:39:35.915+10:002012-06-24T15:39:35.915+10:00Eli, I'm assuming you mean Chinese discriminat...Eli, I'm assuming you mean Chinese discriminating against Chinese?
