Well, this isn't particularly spicy....in fact it's not spicy at all...but I guess one of my secrets that I'm not especially proud of is that I was a high school dropout!! Yeah...I sure was...Bet you never thought I could have done something THAT stupid, huh?
Well, I did. It was March of my Junior year.(11thr grade) and I was about to fail the grade because I had missed so much school that year. So, in my immature wisdom, I concluded it would look better on my records if I dropped out rather than flunked out. So I quit. And got a job!! WOW!! How cool was that??? I was making my own money..buying my own clothes..all at a whopping $1.03 per hr!! Which gave me a take-home pay of about $35.00 per week.
By the time summer came and I saw all my friends graduating and enjoying all the "fringe benefits" like class pictures, class ring, and other stuff like that, I decided I wanted to go back.
I had to kiss a few butts to get back in, but I did it. I had to take the grade over and graduate a year late, but I didn't really mind that much. In the long run it was worth it....I even got the "fringe benefits". LOL Here's my graduation pic just to show ya' I really did graduate...
