Goody-Two-Shoes

Ever since I can remember have been called a goody-two-shoes. I do not know when exactly I received this nickname but I am guessing is started up in late elementary or early middle school. Dictionary.com explains that a goody-two-shoes is any person who will focus on extreme good behavior in order to impress others, an extremely virtuous person; also called a goody goody. I believe that this stereotype describes me perfectly, of course I do not fit it exactly but it is extremely close. I am one of those girls who does not like to take too big of risks, and I always have my reputation in mind. I not only value my reputation but also my family’s and I never want to do anything that will damage it. I have never done drugs, smoked, or publicly embarrassed myself, besides falling down stairs or running into doors. I always work hard and get good grades, I have always excelled in sports, and I am very involved in school organizations. But, I did have a social life out of school. I like the nickname/stereotype goody-two-shoes because it fits me and I am proud to be known as that. I think that it is a positive stereotype and that a lot of people that might say it in a negative way, but they might possibly be jealous that they do not fit in this stereotype. Another stereotype that I fit into is being Preppy. I have always been to private schools many kids in private schools are considered preps. This stereotype has not bothered me at all. I admit that I dress preppy in J-Crew, Hollister, or Abercrombie clothes and that I pop my collar. I have done it for years and I feel weird when I don’t. Being called a prep just stuck with me because of where I’m from, where I went to school, and how I have dressed. I have no problem with this stereotype either because it’s who I am and since it’s who I am I shouldn’t be bothered by it.
