Personal Blog

Hello, my name is Robert Pershing Wadlow and I’m the Tallest man in the world.

From the begining I knew I wasn’t normal, when I was eight years old I was taller than my dad.

Because I’m a very tall man it is not easy to be me, allways when i’m walking I hit my head from the ceiling or the door and then my head hurts. In addition it is very uncomfortable to wear shoes because people make special shoes for me and I need a special delivery so it takes long time to get them. And after all this I dont have a bed, people make me a special bed.

Thanks for listening!
