Can you believe this?


One day while looking through my Valley Center High School (in San Diego )yearbook, a school I was only at for a semester while a freshman in Fall 2003, I came across a picture of a strikingly beautiful girl. I saw her name was Summer Bishil, a sophomore. I looked her up and saw her on Facebook but thought it couldn't be her as it said she was an actress, not to mention in the yearbook it appeared she had blonde hair. However, the closer I looked I saw the facial structure, age, and city she grew up in all matched. I remember watching Towelhead a while ago and having no idea it was her. I may have seen her in passing when I was there.

Now I looked to see where she went to high school, but the information was very cloudy, until I saw a biography page that said she attended an (unnamed) high school in San Diego for a "brief time". This was during the first year of the Iraq war, and this school I went to had a high amount of Mormons that I remember talking to that seemed nice and liked me. However, the article said she was derided by the Mormon kids for her Middle Eastern background and was called a "whore" and suffered panic attacks. I think this explains why she dyed her hair blonde, so she would look less Arabic. Her mother took her out of the school and the rest is history.

She's Half East Indian not Middle Eastern.

Ironically India's been targeted by Terrorist groups for the last 3 thousand years. Sad she had to go thru all of that.

Actually, she was blonde before she moved to the states. I went to high school with her in Bahrain and she's been blonde ever since I've known her...about 7th grade...the first time I saw her as a brunette was in towelhead although this is undoubtebly her natural hair colour.
