That was my name in middle school too. I didn't understand why getting good grades and thinking about going to college was "selling out". I come from a line of educated AA's in my family and all of them where teachers. They expected me to go to college, and havinf two parent with four degrees, there was no way that I could not go to college and get an education. I also remember one semester I received 3 A's and one of my AA classmates grabbed my report card and shouted, "you made three A's?" like AA's kids didn't make A's.
But lately I have come across those who made fun of me back in the day and it funny how they act now. I even had one girl who tried to bring back that middle school mess and I was like sorry, I have moved on, maybe you should to. Then got mad at me because of the way I reacted. But that was over TEN years ago and I have grown up.
