I was super-short all through school, compared to my classmates.
When I was asked what I wanted to be when I grew up I alternatively answered "Taller" or "Fatter" (given that I was a skinny little thing).

I'm a hair over 5' 7", so I'm not TALL tall but I still love it.
Back when I had a social life I'd often wear stacked heels to make me even taller. But it was good to take them off and feel less conspicuous.
I'm happy with my height - maybe one or two inches more would be better, but I mustn't be greedy. I just love being able to reach things when little ladies can't, and being able to open windows and such.

The only slightly odd thing is that people are often surprised by my height - when I can reach something they can't they look at me with a slightly puzzled air and say, "I never noticed how tall you were..." Perhaps growing up short affected my mannerisms?
