...And not only in our community it appears others aspect us to excell at only sports...

like the time my husband and me were in a cafe and this man walks over to adore our son and made the comment I bet you're going to be a boxer... when I interjected that my son is going to be a doctor...

the man looked at me and realized what he had done...
