Looking back on her junior high experience site feels that if she had been more herself, and tried less to be what others thought she should be, it would have made school a lot easier. The style at that time was 60s. She feelo, now, that schisil uniforms would help order, but stifle creativity. She said, I believe in exploring new ideas.
