I was a very good student, being first ranked in my class through a couple of years. I ended up getting a B in Calculus senior year which messed that up so I ended up third in a class of about 600, not reaching my goal of being valedictorian. I played on the tennis team for two years and really enjoyed it but wasn't that good. I was on the chess team and we were good. We started that team when I was a freshman. The last couple of years, we won conference, division, and 4th then 3rd in state. We had flexible scheduling with 8 periods. You could go one to seven or two to eight. I always went one to eight as it allowed me to take more classes. I guess I did study a fair bit. I had a group of friends that I played cards with several times a week for a couple of years so I got good at that. We also sometimes played pool and ping pong which was fun. I was not into drugs though I did drink a few times. As to girls, I was extremely picky with looks and which ones I would consider going out with and at the same time too chicken to ask them out which wasn't a good recipe. There was one that asked me out and we dated three times I think. I did want to go to prom and at one point had asked this girl and we were going to go. Her parents would not let her as she was a sophomore and they thought I was too old. I asked some other ones including a really attractive one I sat next to in accounting class, that i got along with really well. There were others. My mom even asked a couple of girls. They all said no. So no prom. Then when I went into college, in the fall of freshman year, I met and fell in love with a very beautiful girl and was with her for three years until she moved away for an internship of sorts. I was with her constantly. It was kind of like being married in college. I almost never skipped high school. In college, I would go to classes if I needed to go which was usually. It depended on the teacher. I was not wild or crazy much at all in my teenage years. I worked all through school during the semesters and summers - in the cafeteria, as a night guard in a freshman girls dorm (that was nice), working in warehouses, odd jobs through a temp agency, as a busboy in a Greek restaurant, etc. Pretty steady and stable kind of person I guess except that I did tend to procrastinate and pull a lot of all nighters to get stuff done and study for tests.
