I know there are a lot of other people who feel the same and really‚ I don’t see the point in this rank at all.

My most embarrassing moment I consider myself to be one who doesn’t easily get embarrassed‚ but one of my most embarrassing moments happened this past summer. It all started when a few friends of mine decided that since it was incredibly hot out that summer day‚ that we should all go down to Tubbs hill for a swim.
