ONE PICTURE:

I decided to pick this picture, just because I don't normally show people this, nor has it ever been my profile picture. Plus, I'm repping my middle school (ugh) and my big brother :D

This was taken at my 8th grade graduation, in which I received a "scholarship" to Verot for like $500. I remember the reason I got it was really weird and nobody expected ME to get one, especially considering I wasn't nearly as studious as I am now. Well, not NOW per se, since I'm procrastinating on studying, but you get my point.

Anyway, I had to do the whole "walk up, get diploma, shake principal's hand, walk off" business and the principal stressed the fact that parents should not clap until everyone's name is called. You know, to keep the peace and what not. So my name gets called, I do what needs to be done, and right when I start walking off the stage, my dad yells, "I LOVE YOU!" I knew exactly who said it too, so I laughed and shouted it back to him, in which case everyone in the auditorium awww-ed.

Whatever scholarship I was given was probably taken away from me at that point, but that's just the type of person my dad is: he never listens to rules and he does what he wants. Since he is like that though, I think Bart and I turned out pretty okay, considering how our mom exudes srsbsns 24/7 :P
