My name is Ima Bananerd, and yes, I am proud to be a nerd. I am of above average intelligence and enjoy studying. I also love performing science experiments and testing theories; it is very much like a mystery! Plus, it is the only time I am not awkward and clumsy; I trip just walking down the hall, but I never spill chemicals or cause explosions! For fun, I write the advice column for our school paper (shhhhh). No one has a clue that I am "Dear Nan," and I am really good at it!
