Eccentric: adjective: 4) deviating from the norm, as in conduct; odd; unconventional.  Webster�s New World College Dictionary, 14th Edition.

The common definition of a scrub is someone who is a loser.  Someone who has nothing going for him of herself.  Clearly that wasn�t the case for me.  Though I wasn�t an ace student, I clearly had intellect.  I was generally on the honor roll in 7th grade, plus I was a social studies wiz.  I also obsessively read boxing magazines and books and could name every champion there ever was in the heavyweight, light-heavyweight, middleweight, etc. divisions.  I also knew a great deal about other sports, like baseball, football, and basketball.  I was also an armature computer programmer.
In addition to my many talents, I was also very reclusive.  I never joined any groups and I never hung out with anyone because I was the same way then as I am now.  I hate talking to people I don�t know very well.  Since I didn�t really know anyone, I talked to no one.  As a result I lived a very reclusive life in 7th grade.  Almost hermit like.  Doesn�t this sound like someone who is eccentric rather than a scrub?????
