Despite the fact that we were very poor, my mom was pretty open minded when it came to other races and raised me to embrace more than what was around me. She read to me all of the time which led me to have a strong appreciation for reading. She instilled a strong sense of right and wrong that made me decide at a really young age that I was either going to be a "G.I. Joe" or a member of "C.O.P.S."
Not only her, but a lot of people my childhood were under the impression that I was something special (Retarded? Those assholes!). Maybe I am. Maybe I'm not. I don't want to let them down, though. So, I try to be better. I'm of the opinion that I can fit in with anybody under any circumstance and have an intelligent conversation. I can win them over with charm and personality. That's my gift.
As for why I'm so smart: Comic books.
