groups and cliques and lame labels

okay.... me? I'm not quite sure how to "classify" myself in the world of school labels. Let's see, what is there to choose from? Nerd, geek, jocks, preps, corner kids, crack/pot heads, skaters, band geeks, drama nerds and it goes on. I've been told several times that I'm a nerd and seriously i could care less about what others think of me because all that matters is what i think of myself. Being a true dork is fine with me because I'm happy with the way i live. someone once told me i was a prep and all i could do was laugh. I truly think labels are the worst thing anyone has to go though in high school because really none of them are true! they are ridiculous and i believe people should be able to be who ever they want to be, liking and having passions and desires of what ever they want without being judged down by others just like themselves. Anyways i love to learn. I love to read and write and do math (when I'm not stressed) i like nature and physical activities and sports. I love swimming and i thoroughly enjoy working. i keep a journal. i like spending time with my family. i like computers and building them with my dad. I enjoy wood work and building. I love animals. I enjoy bike rides. I really like thrill and excitements. I like deep conversations. I love painting and drawing and art. I love and live in my religion. I support our country. I care a lot about this world. I try to help others. I set goals and achieve challenges. I am obsessed with crazy organization and planning. NOW...here is my question. This is only a small look at who i really am. If this is what a nerd truly is...then yes that's what i am. But no...a nerd is so direct and to me quite an insult. If you are going to label anyone with something then label them with their name!!!!!!!!!!! call me a RACHEL. Because that's what and who i realllllly am! cliques are also an insult to me. i may have close friends but i am 100 percent open to befriending anyone who would like to be friends. This is how i really feel about group and stereotypes.
