Stealth’s track and field, strength, and intelligence

Not all my power is sleight of hand. I graduated class valedictorian with eight new school records in track and field. I had also broken most of the weightlifting records, but this was overlooked because my school did not have a women’s weightlifting team. Despite being offered full scholarships to both MIT and Yale, my guidance counselor, Mr. Passili, suggested I might want to use my pageant prizes to attend one of the “easier” colleges “better suited to a young woman like yourself.”
Neither he nor the school pressed assault charges, although I was told years later it was still apparent his nose had been broken. My first semester at MIT I made Dean’s List with a perfect 4.0. I sent a copy of my grades to Mr. Passili, but never got a response.
