HISTORY
IWasAnOddKid.com was created by Carolyn Figuereo on March 30, 2009. In an article entitled "We Can Be Kids Again!" written my Renee Taylor, we learn about what made Figuereo start this site: "This whole Imagination Revolution started with 19-year-old college student, Carolyn Figuereo. She was researching subject matter for a series of art projects. The subject? Our imagination when we were kids, of course! ‘Our imagination was just so… fascinating back then,’ says Carolyn, ‘it still is- we just don’t make use of this wild, built-in entertainment anymore’.″
