(Totally rocking the high-top basketball shoes to sprint the 100 meter dash)
In junior high school I remember being shoved up against a locker and the kid who did it told me I was "a nerd." When I asked him why, he stammered for a moment and finally came up with "because you wear glasses." I thought this was a bit humorous and from that moment on became a self proclaimed nerd/geek. I was very happy with my personality and did not care to change at all. Even though I was picked on a bit, I had great friends and rather enjoyed junior high and high school.
