Useful experience?

Has you ever experienced something that helped you out later in life? ( that isn't related to reading and stuff )And if so, how? Me..it was my third grade cheerleading. Last year some retarded boys kicked a basketball into an air vent. It was one of the not deflated ones so everyone was trying to get one. I asked the teacher to get me two tall girls who knew how to lift someone up without dropping them. She was a little puzzled, but did. And, long story short, we made a pyramid and I go the ball. Oh, and it also made me more flexible and I don't fall on my butt so much when I jump from heights! lol

Leaning how to suck things up for a long time, which I learned from doing karate. Believe me when I say if you can't prevent yourself from giving up on something physically close to torture, you would never be able to get a black belt, or do 100 push ups. Anyway, this skill is quiet helpful when your training for a 5 mile run for gym.

I would say that my entire experience with high school football really taught me all kinds of stuff that I really value now. I learned a whole lot about determination from it. It also taught me about being on-time as our coaches were very strict on showing up to practice on time.

Plus probably the most important thing I got from football is that I learned that I like to weight lift and that staying in shape can be fun. I am sure had I never played football in high school I would have never discovered how much fun weight lifting can be which I can't even fathom now because I really love weight lifting a lot... and still do it consistently to this day.

I got raped and learned never to trust anyone who is drunk, even if they were my friends.
