:/

When I was in elementary school, I used to get teased for always knowing the answers and for being able to do my work so fast. I had teachers who wouldn't be happy because I got through the assignment so fast and it was too easy for me, but they didn't want to set something harder. So I became one of the 'dumb kids'. I misspelled words and got questions wrong on tests. Easy questions that I knew the answer to. On purpose. I made myself become normal. Actually, I made myself lower than normal. Ever since then, I have always been in the lower half of my class grades-wise. Because of this, I kept getting pushed farther and farther down. Except for my 11th grade English teacher who made me sign up for AP English the following year even though I only got through her class with about a C. Sometimes I wonder, had I stuck through the teasing, had I not dumbed myself down, what would I be doing now? How would things have turned out different? Where would I be? And most of all...what should I have done differently?
