Nerd is a compliment
It means that I’m intelligent
A free spirit
Independent
An individual
Not judgmental
Determined
Mature
Fun
Perfectly imperfect
Passionate
Proud
Hard working
Loving
Happy with myself
So call me a nerd, geek, dork
I’d say thank you

The author's comments:
I am a proud "nerd" and wanted to show people that the negative correlation with nerds, geeks, and dorks are untrue. Being an individual isn't bad; it's what made all the successful people in the world become so successful. So next time you're bullied, remember that "nerd" is a compliment.
