Lank<br>Telman Thurgood was a lanky kid. He'd always had trouble getting his limbs to work the way he wanted. The kids at school made fun of him because of this. His mother told him to ignore them, and that he had a destiny. Telman brought home olympic gold in swimming at the age of 19.
Telman converted that which had the appearance of being a deleterious attribute into one which afforded him opportunity for glory.
