Is this anything we haven't read or heard before. Just ran across it and wasn't sure.
this was from the Washington Times, June 20.
"She was really sweet. She would say 'hi' to anybody she saw in the halls," eighth-grader Amy Hernandez said. If there were a few minutes left at the end of class, Smart would finish her homework early or pull out a book to read, Hernandez said.
Francis' French teacher often told her seventh graders to follow Smart's example, because Smart "was academically perfect in French," Francis said.
Smart plays the harp, sings in the school's choir and excels in class, earning a place in Bryant's accelerated learning program.
"She always told you that you looked good that day," classmate Tiffany Morris said. "I just hope she's safe and hope she comes back soon."

Just more food for thought.
Note the "acting." Haven't heard anything discussed about her interest and involvment in acting. One of the films of her regularly shown on TV, shows her in a play or skit of some sort. It might be interesting to know who she met or associated with while in plays, etc.
