Nerd ALERT!!


Yes, I know I'm a nerd. I've been a nerd since forever. Before Maryland I lived in Harrison, New Jersey. I was one of the smartest kids in my class. I got really good grades, but then I moved to
Maryland in third grade and everything got about ten times harder. I went from getting A's to C's. The curriculum got much harder and I had to work to bring up my grades. By fifth grade I was moved up to GT (gifted and talented) math and got back my straight A's never again getting anything lower then an A on my report card. I once again regained my smart kid, nerd status. In sixth grade I was moved up to all GT classes which was a bit challenging and remained in all GT classes throughout middle school. That means that each year I would learn what the year above me was learning, so last year I already learned and earned some credits for ninth grade. That's why most of the stuff is really simple for me and that's why I'm able to take some classes that others can not. So yes I understand that I am a little more advanced then others and yes I know I'm a big nerd, but next time you say that I hope you'll remember all the hard work and effort it took me to get there. I didn't just wake up one day and "boom" I obtained all this knowledge, it actually took some time. I had the brain power I just had to find the right way to use it all. So you can call me a nerd all you want, it doesn't hurt my feelings, I'm proud of my hard work and accomplishments! =]
