She was the outsider in high school. Other girls actually chased her after school to try to cut her hair & stuff. She actually had to change schools for senior year. Yet, she knew she wanted to be a singer, and couldn't wait for school to be over.
And she had a hard time last night because she got the lowest score.
(I'm not feeling much sympathy for the latter as Selma ended up having to leave completely due to her illness. Talk about having a bad night. There's no comparison.)
