My friends compliment me on my memory frequently. Whenever we're in class and we have buddy assignments, I'm usually the one to know the answers without having to ponder the question. I can usually read something once and explain it to you months later. I usually need some sort of stimulus, though. I usually explain concepts to myself to remember them, but I'm better when I'm given options to pick from or a scenario to apply it to. I think my memory is so good because I hold grudges, and remembering everyone's wrong-doings toward me requires a great memory.

I usually hold grudges until the person apologizes. I think the longest grudge I've ever held was six years. I remember the exact date, where, when, and what I was wearing when that person said something very rude to me. December 3rd, 2010 at our middle school dance called "A Night Under the Stars" (the dance started at 7:00 pm). I was wearing my dad's grey vest and grey pants that he wore on his wedding day. I also remember exactly what the person said, but that's not really important. He apologized two years later when I brought it up.
