Model Student

Heheh, I would only wear stretch pants and t-shirts, and I stared at the ceiling when I spoke. The other kids always asked me what the heck I was looking for up there.



My teachers tend to feel the same way about me. They admire my effort and intelligence, but always seem to have something like "should speak more/participate more in class" written on my feedback slips at the end of the semester.

I was an "exemplary student", even got a badge that said that, in 1st or 2nd grade. I had good grades, and was generally quiet and withdrawn, which was apparently considered good behavior. In 6th grade, however, my behavior grade was lowered for being "antisocial" - I got "outstanding" instead of "exemplary". It was a big deal, because such a bad grade prevented me from receiving special honors that year, despite having A's from all subjects except Phys. Ed.
