MY favorite was English Literature, followed by Early US History, pre-1876
IMO American history is run of the mill and predictable. Maybe its because I've learned it all my life (its been biasly taught too). World history includes ancient civilizations and their contributions to the world, I prefer learning about that.
i was a b*tch to all the boys...hung out with some of the popular crowd, but mostly hung out with people from different high schools...basically, i thought i was too cool!
I was the quiet girl
I only spoke to those I felt comfortable with, and I was faithful when it came to in-class assignments. LOL, I always listened when the teacher was talking because I never wanted to miss anything. Yes, I was late to class a few tims but only because certain People would catch me in the hallway and start chatting two minutes before class started -- but I would enter the classroom quietly 😄
Never was a big fan of the in-crowd -- mainly because I didn't like how they treated other students and how they felt anyone who didn't fit-in with them was inferior. I prefered to hang out with everyone, not just a particular group -- ewww! the "in-crowd" was probably the group I didn't venture off with.
However, I enjoyed the students who were more into computers, technology and other alternative things -- yeppers, I was a nerd/ geek/dork and darn proud of it 😉
my 10 year reunion is coming up in november... should be interesting. i am curious to see how many people have changed and how many are still doing the same crap!
Yeah, I would mind going to both my high school reunions -- I went to two different high schools.
I am very curosity as to who doing what, especially those who belittled others 😉
I wasnt in either catagory... i had friends from all groups.. got along with everyone.. wasnt in any school activities.. went to vocational technical schooleach half of a school year.. took up cosmetology.. was considered a 'techer' as the other kids who didnt go to the vo-tech school called the ones who did.. i dressed nice.. sometimes dressed in flanel shirts.. jeans.. boots..lol.. i was a mix of the bunch and had a great time in high school.
i was the super nerd and still am...
Well, I was both the cool kid AND the nerd.
I was way more intellegent then my friends, so my classes had me with the geeks (which I grew to find that they are EXTREMELY interesting) but I also had that cool guy swagger, u know...good in sports, girls chasing me, always dressed to impress, and fellas like to chill with me.
Honestly, I was a bully also. I loved to pick on the dude that thought he was the "Big and Bad" guy. I never liked people who thought they were tougher than me, so I always found myself in conflict with them (But really, I'm a nice guy).
Middle school was the greatest moment in my life...a lot of "firsts" happened then with experiences I wish I could go through now! Through high school, I finally "found" myself, and realized that I could do SOO much better than those around me, and beat the expectation that "people like me" wouldn't get anywhere but nowhere.
I was the maverick and leader of my own little band of rebels and outcasts all through school. I was a little popular, but became more popular during my junior year. In Junior Highschool the two hottest chicks in my class were hitting on me despite my small amount of popularity, maybe because I didn't act like an ass like the rest of the kids. I hated junior high.
Hey BigD56, you look rather familiar. Do you live in Cincinnati? Does your name happen to be Matt?
I meant to say I hated junior high aside from the two girls. That's why I kept to myself and my squad. My peers were annoying bastards, believe me.
Also BigD, you're not a bully unless you pick on people who are weak or submissive. You just like a challenge if you go against the big boys and fake big boys.
Oh, I see. I always did love a challenge, but I hated how some people act tough but really aint nuttin but a bunch of creme filling.
"How did evrybody survive calculus!!!!!!!!!!!"
My charm and prayer.
I exceled at arts and humanities...not math and science.
LOL sb, true.
A great teacher and respect for math, thats all I had.
but I was on the AP program and Honor Society, so I needed these classes.
Whatever Kris, we've got the same standards...colleges dont care whether your from the north or south.
My math teacher is one of the best I have ever had...she loved what sshe did and it showed. She got on our nerves, but thats why I am good at it today and I dont have nearly as much trouble as the other kids in my classes...many from the North.
I took Geometry my freshman year, Trig my soph year, Pre-Calc my junior, and Calc my senior
I ended with two extra years of highschool math. AP Calc BC.
Kris, are you still in HS?
Sorry hun...i'm not takin crap from a jersey kid. Besides Miami is a totally diff. vibe to it.
True, the FCAT is BS...and plenty have a hard time passing it, but thats because of the high immigration and minority rate.
LOL Kris
*immigrant*
Yes honors makes a difference. It a combination of it all, SAT scores, determine whether or not you are a fasle negative or a false positive. Colleges have quotas to fill, they are choosing the ones who are least likely to drop out of school (M.I.A.M.I. "money is a major issue"). SAT scores are supposed to be the determining factor. Every school has a diff. cut off point for scores. The higher the score the less likely you are to drop out.
We had this discussion...I dont eat chocolate cake.
I'm not a leo, my arrogance is subtle...😉
Books mainly...I dont like clubs and groups and I'm not a fan of sports..I was a cheerleader waaayy back in the day. Most of the groups were academic except Prom Commitee and SGA. I was in the AOIT magnet program, so we had a set regimen already.
The 4.0 kid most likely, but what else do you bring to the table, GPA matters, but you need more.
"I'm not a leo, my arrogance is subtle..."
Love it!
I had essays and took the subjects test..only because the colleges I applied to asked. You have to check what they require from you.
My major is Finance and Accounting...for now.
"Hp got a 9th rank err i envy you !!!"
That was 15 years ago. Times have changed.
curriculum has changed
Thanks Kris, same to you too 🙂
Oh yeah, its boring...my TA sucks...she got this thick southern accent that gets on my nerves. I wish I had a better teacher...i'm mostly teaching myself right now.
Oh man, peaches, you sure do know how to bring the hurt....lol🙂.I was a weird nerdy little ol' thing. I was so nerdy and w/ a strong love of school, i begged for extra courses even though that meant i had to stay an extra hour or 2. Everybody who was anybody got on me (teathers,parents, students, etc). I was voted "Most Awkward", a title that im strangly proud of.
Now, i reminisce back and chuckle.
