This was my adolescence

When I was a younger I was a total dork. Yes, those who know me would say that's still true, but I spent most of my time in junior high school praying that I would start to fit in, start to feel cool.

Its a strange thing to know that you're ready for college when you're 13, not at an intelligence level, or even at an emotional level, but just that you won't be able to feel well adjusted until you got there.

So I took the SATs in 7th grade. Did well enough to end up here.

And finally found a place where I fit in, with friends for life.
