This was a fun and took me back.

I was secretly "weird." I wore braids, was on the cheering squad, dated a tri-athlete from the opposing school, but I was a secret bookworm with a collection of old school funk albums. Yes, P-funk--I liked my funk uncut, Prince Dirty Mind, and Earth, Wind, and Fire--Stuff my parents should have been listening to.

I loved afro-futurism. Still do. Planned to get an afro one day and did it 10 years later. I was the shortest person in my class and on the cheer squad so I unfortunately I had to be on top the pyramid even though I was afraid of heights.

I was in all honors classes including Japanese, but I can't speak a word of it. Really wish I would have paid attention in that class.

Yep. I hated high school, but I loved college!
