No way? Me too! I'm one of those people who just hate shorts!! ^^

I don't know what makes me 'me'. I guess I stand out because I never talk, but when I do I say weird things and people try not to talk to me after that. So, I'm a weirdo who never talks. ^^
YES VALEDICTORIAN. Of middle school. But, baby steps...
Anyway, what makes me stand out? Quite literally, you could say my height does. I'm about 5'11", which isn't too common for a teenage girl. My height translates over to some decent natural basketball talent. I'm not spectacular overall, but my defense and shot-blocking is pretty great if I do say so myself. Most importantly, I'm a team player. That's what I want more than anything; to be able to keep a good attitude no matter what and to always support my teammates. I've come to realize that my attitude is really a huge part of succeeding. This past season, my travel basketball coach presented me with the Coach's Award - which I was more grateful getting than if I had gotten, say, an MVP award (which would never happen lololo) - for my attitude and thoughtfulness regarding the game itself. It surprised me at first, because my attitude was largely negative towards myself for most of the season. I never looked down on my teammates though, and if there was ever a "girly drama problem" on the team, I always talked to the coach about it. I suppose he saw how I treated my teammates, and coupled that with my obvious desire to do well - and in doing so, help the team win.
Additionally, as I touched on earlier, I'm very intelligent. I'm not trying to boast, but my academic ability and natural analytic mind is what I am most proud of. I was the valedictorian of my recent graduating 8th grade class. While this is not much of an achievement compared to the typical high school valedictorian, it was an achievement I was very happy to make. I plan to do the best I can in high school; challenge myself to take the hardest available courses to pave the way for higher education.
Finally, I suppose what really makes me stand out is that I'm just generally pretty well-rounded. You might not expect a class valedictorian to be very sporty (which is ironic considering our salutatorian - a boy - is even better of an athlete than I am). You might not expect a pretty decent athlete to be ridiculously brilliant (so modest aren't I). I consider myself both a nerd and an athlete. I do have a deep passion for knowledge, but I also have a burning internal fire to win.
But what makes me stand out the most is obviously my sense of humor. I mean come on I'm just hysterical.
