I found some school pictures of me from back in the day. Some I look chipper to be getting my picture taken, others not so much. Looking back I can’t believe how I dressed or how I chose to do my hair, but for the most part it was cool then.

The second picture on the top row with me in the ruffely dress was taken before I chose to drop out of pre-school. I attended for a few days but I knew how to work the system. I cried and cried until the teacher called my mom to come pick me up. Because the repetitious phone calls happened so often, my parents chose to no longer have me on the schools attendance and I never had to go to pre-school again. Score! For another year, I was able to stay home, play with my younger sister and watch cartoons all day.

I remember taking school pictures every year but these were the only ones I was able to find. Top left – not sure my age (in the red), pre-school, kindergarten, 2nd grade, Bottom left – 3rd grade, 5th grade, 8th grade, and 10th grade basketball.
