Glasses aren’t so bad . . . says the girl who can’t remember life before she got them. There are myriad other parts of my family medical history that are far more concerning.
Luckily, NERD (aka GEEK) is now proudly accepted by all genders and walks of life. We fuel the superhero, comic, Star Wars, comic cons and other billion dollar money making pop culture machines today. Nerds are embedded in many of these businesses as well. And yes, a great majority are pretty smart.

Wish I had been more of a ‘nerd’ than I was. By that, work harder, and study more.

There was a certain family resemblance between me and my brothers, but we each insisted we had our own identities … as geek, nerd, and dork.

Many have gotten the last laugh. They are in high-paying professional/technical careers while the dumb football jocks are stacking 2×4s at Home Depot.
