Hey guys! So before you start looking at everthing on this world, I'd like to tell you why it has it's name.
It was when I was 6th grade that I got the nickname "Africa". We were doing research in my school's library, and I got bored after a while. I saw a globe near me and kept spinning it for a few minutes until my teacher noticed. She asked, "What are you doing?" It was creepy because she was right behind me. I stopped the spinning globe, and my finger happened to land on Africa. Then she told me, "Get to work, Africa." And yes, she very amused by the fact that several of my peers had heard. By the end of the day, everyone was calling me that.
I usually don't hear anyone use the nickname anymore, but people still remember. It's been a LONG while since it happened though. I know, not much of a story. I just wanted to tell you. XD
