Dear Mr. Vernon,
We accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole Saturday in detention, for whatever it was that we did wrong. What we did was wrong. But we think you're crazy to make us write this essay telling you who we think we are. What do you care? You see us as you wanna see us...in the simplest terms, the most convenient definitions, you see us as a brain, an athlete, a basket case, a princess, an introvert, and a criminal, correct? That's the way we saw each other at 7 o'clock this morning.

We were brainwashed.

******from "Don't You (Forget About Me)" by Simple Minds******
Will you recognize me?
Call my name, or walk on by?
Rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling,
Down, down, down down...
