When I was in middle school I thought I'd be the best triple jumper; I did one jump in 9th grade and the coaches never let me try again.

I think I would've had a solid go at it.

Now that I'm older I don't often think I'm secretly great/natural at anything, but today when I saw a nice watch there was a fleeting moment when I thought I could be a watch maker.
