I enjoyed gym class and still like to exercise.
Same here. In 7th grade I was sucker punched by a Vietnamese ‘boat person’ while we were playing indoor stick hockey. I learned from this:
1. Vietnam won the war.
2. Vietnamese are tough and can get away with a lot.
I hated PE. It wasn’t enough. In high school I played football and ran track. That wasn’t enough. I joined the USMC to see if I could hack it.
That was enough.
