| Introduction | When I was in 4th grade, my best friend and another girl jumped me during recess. I was terrified when I was alerted to their plans, and I couldn't fathom that I would end up beating them both up. We were out with my grandfather, Pops, when my parents found out. Pops looked at me with a smile and said, “Tiny Tyson, huh?” Fast forward 20 years. My boss just told me that he wants to be sure I don't beat someone up. After all this time, I’m finally coming to terms with what a fighter I truly am. |
