Geek Chic Guide - The "COOL" in School

While other kids would go wild with excitement, splashing in the sprinklers during summer break, I used to make "homework assignments" for the other kids on my block. Everyday, we'd have busy work to do under an old tree in some kid's front yard with handwritten worksheets I would have written out my hand. And everyday I would correct them with joy, using only my coolest stickers for really outstanding pupils.


I guess I always wanted to be a teacher - even when I was just being a 9 year-old nerd.


Since knowledge is STILL power, here are a few items that still pull at my inner 9 year-old's heart strings.
