See 13-Year-Old Kim Kardashian Predict Her Future Stardom

In honor of her 34th birthday, ET released some vintage footage of the future Mrs. Kardashian-West celebrating her eighth-grade graduation. Turns out that even as a bob-sporting 13-year-old, she’s still the same self-absorbed Kim we know and love (she even has Kris and Kourtney in tow).

Some highlights:

  • “Does everyone get a tape of this? Because I hope you do, so you can see me when I’m famous and old [and] you’ll remember me as this beautiful little girl.â€
  • “My name’s Kim Kardashian. I’m the dopest-on-the-ropest person in this class. I’m dope on a rope, and you should learn my vocabulary.†(Then when someone asks her what dope is: “Dope is Kim.â€)
  • After declaring herself “more popular than Lisa,†she has this to share about someone named Chris: “Chris loves me the most out of anyone, and everyone’s just like jealous because he loves me the most. And that’s all I gotta say.â€
  • This parting message to her fellow eighth-graders: “We have so many memories, but you know, they’re going to miss me the most. Bye!â€

Man, we wish 13-year-old Kim and 17-year-old Kanye could have met. They would have been insufferable adorable.
