Who am I to be?

Location

Who am I to be,
The loser of the family tree?
Who am I to be,
The only four-point-three?
 
But I am to be
The one who is nerdy.
But I am to be
The one who dreams of being a Latin honoree.
 
People see me
Not for who I am, but who I don't want to be.
People see me
For my geeky glasses, for my future degree.
 
I am to be me,
The one who knows all answers.
I am to be me,
The one who cures all cancers.
