Were you popular and sporty in school?

Great conversation with the teacher.Good to stand up for yourself at 14.If I'd done that with my sport teacher I'd have got his shoe across my backside.Sports teachers were not usually the smartest.Hope Civil Service or a profession worked out.

I loathed PE, loathed compulsory sport at High School. By the time we got to the 5th form hallelujah no PE. On the other hand loved tennis, swimming and now walking. Those ghastly rompers didn’t do anything to endear me to PE. The nearby boys school came over in the winter to do folk dancing and later ballroom with us, they were as awkward as we were I think! Dancing wasn’t too bad, no rompers which was a plus. Loved the classroom, library and the friendships which have endured.

I think I was very middle of the road was certainly towards the end for for being chosen in sports if there was 10 people I d be about 7
What a dreadful process that was, nothing like knocking every bit of confidence out of you I think I was just average at sports I was probably average at most things
I was fairly shy and diffident although I had my small group of good friends I liked art best and was mediocre at everything else Never good at maths and sciences much better at English art history and geography
I did enjoy school though

No and No!

I think I was one of those girls that nobody remembers! Not popular and outgoing, but had my own little group of friends. I was a bit shy so didn't have a huge circle. I envied girls who could talk to anybody on the bus home.

Sporty - I was one of the last picked for teams. Not the very last, but close! Ugh, how awful. But I was picked for teaming up on a project, since I loved to go to the library to research. I was a bit arty as well, so good for posters and drawings.
