Meet Mark: 18 year's old, 6'5", 220 lbs and a basketball player. He's what every kid dreams of growing up to be. Mark is popular, masculine, taller than most, good looking and a VERY talented basketball player. But, as he's applying to colleges and trying out for teams he's being told the same thing by almost every college: "though you're good, we have guys over 7 feet trying out who are just as good". Something Mark never thought he'd hear was that he wasn't tall enough for something and having played Basketball his entire life, he was banking on getting a scholarship.
It was Mark's 18th birthday today and his older cousin James was coming over to spend it with him. James was easily his favorite cousin, possibly because he was the opposite of him. At 21, James was on the shorter side, 5'7", quite chubby at 240 lbs and not very masculine at all. But, he was one of the kindest people you would ever meet so Mark always felt that he could confide in him or count on him for anything.
