I was like that too. Just me, not part of the crowd. I was fine with it. I did what I was comfortable with no more, no less.

Kudos to you Chey for raising an independent thinker.

Yes Auntie Lil... she is the one! LOL

She constantly amazes me with the way she thinks and acts. I wasn't like this growing up, but then I wasn't exposed to much of what she is then either.

We just bought her a pair of hot pink "boat" style tennis shoes that have black skulls on them.. roflmao!!! She says that if the others talk about her, then they aren't talking about others who can't handle it...

The other day she was in gym class. The teacher told the girls that if they ran so many laps they could have a free PE period. The 'preppies' were picking on a girl who can't run laps very well - so much that the girl was crying. They figured that if she didn't run the laps they wouldn't be blamed for not having free time because they didn't want to run. My daughter was angry and decided that wasn't going to happen. She ran with this girl all the way, paced herself with this girl and encourged her to keep going to the point of showing this girl how to 'shuffle' her feet to make it look like she was jogging. They were last to finish, but they finished.

The school has a character counts program and students who show good character are rewarded. The teacher figured out what my daughter was doing and after the run, called her over to give her the reward. My daughter jutted out her chin and told the teacher she didn't want it. The teacher asked why and my daughter said, "because we should be doing this anyway". (The teacher told me all of this).
