When I was young, I loved to play sports with all my brothers and neighborhood. I really didn't have a natural talent for playing, but I loved the outdoors and participating in whatever they were playing. We had neighborhood football games (my favorite), baseball games, running matches and kickball. My mother always said I was a tomboy because I enjoyed playing outside with the kids.
Although I loved to play neighborhood games, when it came to competition, I wasn't the best. Our school had track meets and I always wanted to participate, but for some reason that a twelve-year-old boy couldn't understand, I could just not win. I remember one relay race in junior high where I felt confident and excited and when the whistle blew, and we all started out together. I was in the lead, but I shortly starting falling back from leaders in the pack.
I loved to run but for some reason that I wouldn't understand for 40 years, I didn't have endurance. When I ran, I'd get headaches. Many times during my school years, I would feel really sick from the headaches and any kind of physical activity would make my head pulsate even worse. Those problems kept me from being a sports superstar but I continued to participate whenever I could.
In college, I began to have really severe headaches. It was determined that I had migraines and the stress from working 2 jobs and going to school full time was making them worse. My paternal grandmother, I'd been told, had "sick headaches" that'd put her in bed for few days, so I figured I'd inherited them. When the doctor talked to me about the headaches, I began to realize that I'd had them as long as I could remember.
