10.) Birth
Not many could say that their birth was taught about in Federation history. Even fewer would claim that one James T. Kirk didn't enjoy the fame that his birth had given him. Fortunately for Jim, Christopher Pike and Leonard McCoy were two of the few.
When the Kelvin was lectured on, Captain Pike had excused him from classes for the day without even needing to be asked. Bones checked on him between classes, making sure that he didn't kill himself with alcohol poisoning or drown in his own vomit. The man even spent the night with him, waking him from his nightmares and getting rid of his hangover in the morning with a hypo he didn't even feel.
"Don't get used to that kid. That treatment's only for when you're not an idiot, otherwise I'll just let you suffer."
It didn't matter that most didn't understand how he felt about the events surround his birth, he cherished those that did.
