It's a nickname my mom gave to me. At first I didn't like it but when she told me the story of her getting a full college scholarship and yet her dad, my grandfather, wouldn't let or support her going to college. I had to claim it. I went on to become the first person in my family to go to college, supporting myself, and earning multiple degrees so she could be proud of her little miss smarty pants. I'm not really that smart but I do owe the smarts I have to her.
