second meeting at thefidget space: with Maria

"I didn't like my name until I was much older,
because I was the only person in school that had that name.
Everybody else was named Mary.
I like my name very much now.
It is very popular now."

"I was pretty disciplined. I didn't step out off line.
I was pretty good. I did what I was told to do.
I did my homework.
But I always had the feeling that I wasn't very smart,
because the children that were bright got all the attention.
And you might have been bright, but you might have not known it, because you weren't treated that way."
