Flips and Splits

I was the captain of a collegiate Bollywood dance team. In our sets, I used to be able to do flips and the splits. Don’t ask me to do either now.

Fandom

Growing up in the Dallas suburbs, I had a rough childhood being a Philadelphia Eagles fan.

Captain

Freshman year of high school, I was cut from one of the sports teams and was told “Son, you don’t look like an athlete.” I then became the captain of the varsity wrestling team two years later.
