I was the student with high grades, until the last year of high school , when my health become not good, and i went in diet of no gluten again like in my childhood. I didn't like the diet, and i wanted to eat what i wanted to eat. So i was a little bit upset and my grades were too much low, like very low.
But i'm grateful for everything i experienced in my life, up and low.
i grew up in a big city with too much freedom and was a thief and vandal. then we moved to the country where i would get in trouble and i became a nerd. but i was still fit from all the running and climbing i did in the city
Love it, a fellow introvert π and I craved to be in theater but stuck to just dancing for some reason. Later I auditioned for freedom writers and got close to getting the part but not close enough lol
This warms my heart; thanks @7Phoenix7! Go you for dancing -- that's fantastic. For various reasons I didn't go the theater route and, instead, joined the Navy.
I always thought of myself as one of the quiet kids because in high school I was remarkably shy, socially awkward, a goodie two shoes and a nervous wreck and I only had a couple of friends
I had thehonor to play Mr. Lundie in Brigadoon, and Jud Fry (the villain ) in Oklahoma! Cyrano DeBergerac... some others... most fun I'e ever had probably
They can teach you to do things with your voice. i would never have figured out how to project properly from the diaphragm or how important diction and enunciation are when doing public things. I wish you had experienced this sort of thing as well... It still brings the occasional smile... the friendships from rehearsing together every day. All the stupid silly things you all do... very special
Yes, I would peep the singer/actors during rehearsals and they always seemed to be so in love with what they were doing and became close friends. I remember wanting to be apart of it. I was in the dance shows.
That's awesome. You would have EASILY transitioned into a chorus role in spring musical... You'd be surprised how many people (me) struggled with the choreography in those things... We'd have one of the good dancers with a line of clumsy people down in the pit... I seem to recall getting whacked by a girl with a stick down there one day ( she WAS smirking) Director would have coached you up and gotten acceptable noises out of you if you could dance.
Yea lol, so I'll go ahead and admit that I did end up auditioning for play production and they used me as a dancer.. lol nothing special just an extra. But I loved being apart of the whole thing. Later after high school I did more acting and dancing. I joined a carribean dance group and we traveled to perform for people. It was fun. Turned down the modeling offers because it wasn't "fashion" lol.
That's awesome as well... we make our decisions and they stick. There was this 1st chair all-state 1st tenor 1 year ahead of me. Decided to chase Broadway with all he had... Last I heard (several years ago) he was still there and had a minor speaking role in Phantom of the Opera... makes you wonder if your head ha dbeen aligned differently back then.
A lazy kid. I needed diapers till 12 because I was too lazy to learn how to use the toilet. When puberty hit, I learned how to because I wanted a girlfriend. I got one, but she left because she thought I was super lazy in bed and wanted her to do everything for me.
I fall asleep in class and do all the work at the last min.
Phoenix, I was that kid who played sports, got along with everyone and passed without much effort. Looking back, I wish I had put more effort into the school aspect.
It wasn't as easy for me though. I struggled with math in hs and didn't do my best academically. And other things going on in my life had me distracted.
I was an angry punk kid back in the early 90s. Even angrier one I found out that most people in the scene became "peace punks". They were basically a bunch of filthy spiky hippies.

Totally understandable β€οΈ I'm trying to get to that place, where I'm grateful for everything I experienced in my life
Seemingly serious and quiet. I observed more than spoke up in class.
But I had two really great girl friends and we spent all our time together so it was fine.
Story of my life π
exceptionally fit nerd and reformed little crook. but very respectful...
i was diagnosed with aspberger's as an adult. it explained a lot.
my mom worked at the school so i made sure i never got in trouble there.
Fit nerd sounds nice! Reformed little crookπ lol I like it. What made you get tested for aspbergers?
friends who had autistic kid and a friend who was a special ed teacher in school and the psychologist that evaluated me for the VA when I retired.
they all suggested it
i grew up in a big city with too much freedom and was a thief and vandal. then we moved to the country where i would get in trouble and i became a nerd. but i was still fit from all the running and climbing i did in the city
so i joined the army as soon as ii graduated
Ohh I see I see. Thank you for your service π
I was just a normal kid, who liked games. We didn't have identity crisis or feel that you needed to be special back then.
Lol π
I was a cheerleader and a letter girl (I carried one of the letters at the front of the marching band) and I played sports.
Cool! π
I was a band geek, into sports, and I had quite a few friends. I was also a seemingly popular target for bullies.
Oo what instrument did you play? And why a target?
I was the mostly quiet, leaning towards introverted kid. Also did theater all through high school so I was the theater kid too.

Thank you, and Thank you for your service β€οΈ
I always thought of myself as one of the quiet kids because in high school I was remarkably shy, socially awkward, a goodie two shoes and a nervous wreck and I only had a couple of friends
Yes β€οΈ, me too. I was quiet/shy and a goody two shoes. Right up until I hit 17. Are you still as shy/nervous?
Yeah I'm still like that and it doesn't help that I have really bad anxiety
Ugh, if anxiety was a person I'd shoot 'emπ. I deal with anxiety too..
I was that kid you could not exactly just tag or put a label on... lol
I was THE Nathan, lol
Okay, THE Nathan πlol but what was something that you were into in hs?
very sorry for the belated reply...
I was into a few things... sports, alternative music, some anime... and finding out as much as possible about people, especially girls... lol
Lol I wonder which anime series
back then... there were classics like Evangelion, and newer ones like Naruto, for example
Cool cool
I was the weird skater/metalhead kid, but like most skater/metalhead kids, I had an extremely closeted nerdy side.
Coolπ, So what was your nerdy side like?
Video games and scifi movies mainly.
β€οΈβ€οΈ
I was an arts and clubs guy. Drama, speech, band, choir, a capella,
Also German club... it was a fun way to slip through those years.
Ohh I love that β€οΈ Did you actually perform in the plays and musicals?
I had thehonor to play Mr. Lundie in Brigadoon, and Jud Fry (the villain ) in Oklahoma!
Cyrano DeBergerac... some others... most fun I'e ever had probably
I bet your voice was amazing, I wish I had that much fun in highschool.

I wish you had experienced this sort of thing as well... It still brings the occasional smile... the friendships from rehearsing together every day. All the stupid silly things you all do... very special
Absolutely, I didn't think about that!

Kind of an outsider. On honor roll, but liked fighting and doing shady hustles lol.
Worked full time in addition to school. Started out as a Catholic good boy but was having some fun by gr 12
Worked while you were in school and still managed to be on honor roll? ππΌπ
Yes I started off as the quiet good girl and then 12th grade I just went kinda left
I still am a weird combo of popular girl and geek girl
Haha, yep I knew a girl like that π. I think I'm a kind of the same as I was, just not as quiet and innocent.
Cool. Iβm pretty quiet and a little innocent lol.
Actually I was you haha
Nice! haha

More along the line of "studious" and "nerd"...
Oh I like that! π
Phoenix,
I was that kid who played sports, got along with everyone and passed without much effort. Looking back, I wish I had put more effort into the school aspect.
What part of school do you feel you should have put more effort in?
Should focused more on the learning aspect...
I feel the same way
It was just easy, college too... I often wonder how much faster I could have matured by reading more, learning more.
It wasn't as easy for me though. I struggled with math in hs and didn't do my best academically. And other things going on in my life had me distracted.
What did you major in?
Marketing
I just wanted to tell you that the word around is that me and you are dating.
Iβm telling you this, in case someone asked.
Mkay when r you gonna make it official?
I was an angry punk kid back in the early 90s. Even angrier one I found out that most people in the scene became "peace punks". They were basically a bunch of filthy spiky hippies.
ππ
I don't think I ever had a stereotype in high school. I was the quiet kid that kept to themselves.
I was quiet too π
Nice
Nerd who got bullied in school
Aww, π€. What kind of nerd?
