Quite often in the last few months I have had people miss-judge my age. By a lot!! It all started in January, a few days before I turned 20. I was chaperoning my sister, Melissa, on a field trip. The chaperone's rode the bus with the students so I was with Melissa almost the whole time. On the way home someone asked me why I went to a different school. At first I wasn't sure what he meant and then I told the guy that I was almost 20. A bunch of the kids then looked a bit shocked and asked if I was kidding. Apparently, everyone that hadn't met me before thought I was in 10th grade!!
Another time that I was thought to be younger than I really am is while I am at various volleyball events. One of the volleyball things I do if reffing at "The Gym". A lot of the parents try to "help" me with the rules and such. I usually have to resort to being extremely forceful in getting the parents to not bug me about the rules. After one of the game I reffed, I was talking to one of the coaches about how I handled the crowd. The coach then said that I looked very young!
Then today, the missionaries stopped by looking for my dad. Since I am home during the day I answered and talked to them for a minute. One of them asked why I wasn't in school. I told him I am 20 and he told me that he thought I was much younger than that. I am sure that in the furture I will really appreciate looking 4 years younger, but until then I would love to get credit for at least 19 of my 20 years! :)
