Nerd.

I've always hated being considered a nerd. It was a reality I never ever wanted to face. In my mind, it meant the stereotypical list of terrible things: glasses, a skinny body, social awkwardness, unathleticism, and knowledge for days. Thus began my quest to become someone, something--anything other than a nerd. In making a personality for myself, nerd would never be anything I would become. Never. Ever.

It didn't work out... even though I tried to work out. I tried to be cool (because apparently I never thought nerds could be cool), I tried to be different. I even tried to turn myself into a jock. We all know how that turned out. But I had to face reality; I had glasses. I had a skinny body. I was socially awkward. I was unathletic. I knew words that not even half my friends knew the meaning of. I was a nerd in my eyes. I am a nerd in my eyes.

But you know what? I'm okay with that. Because in this world, knowledge is power.
