Co-sign; I did indeed have the last laugh.

Look at where I'm at today and where all the "normal" students are at, hence the big payoff on my part.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!*




*or something like that

My parents THREATENED me with tutoring my freshman year when i was making "good" grades... but then when i dropped to making "O.K." grades they left me alone. WEIRD parents... but i guess everything worked out well. or averaged well enough.

I was also in JROTC as well as Kitty Hawk.

come on yall im at work! i cant even giggle man withouth it being looked at funny.

i was #4 out of 120. the 3 above me, we were all friends... until the rankings came out. senior year was pretty interesting... seeing as how the guy in the #3 spot was an uber cheater all 4 years (guess it paid off - full scholarship to Brown), #2 went to some local random college (she was the only one who was actualy smart but her mom wanted her close to home) and #1, well she pulled a suicide and only applied to Columbia cause she was SO sure she'd get in.

well, she got waitlisted. and she became a total b!tch and had every teacher, incl. the principal to write letters to admissions. which didnt really work. and then word got around that her father didnt have the $ for Columbia anyway... so she went to St. John's, which is a great school, for NYC anyway. but all sorts of ppl went to STJ from my high school, incl. this girl who graduated with 2 kids and wasnt ever really a poster child of academic excellence. so she felt kinda shamed by that i guess?

anyway, she's now a Theta Phi Alpha and i figured hey! she's greek too! and tried to get in touch with her, and her big was like "oh, ill pass her info to you but she's not good with returning phone calls."

so yeah. but i digress.

I was number 5 in a class of 232 (I think that was the number..) Only 3 AA members and I was the highest. Class of 2001

I'm not even sure what happened to our salutitorian. After graduation, the rumor was that she turned down a scholarship b/c she didn't like her roommate and then went to a community college.

Most if not all of the top 10 are college graduates and working hard!!

[jojapeach]

I was #8 out of 366 (I think 366). I was #6, but that F in AP English dropped me right on down. To this day, I still hate Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness.

I was in National Honor Society, president of the Beta Club, SGA, and Spanish Honor Society.

What's interesting is that I really don't know what happened to most of the top 10. We just don't keep in touch, but I know the valedictorian and her best friend in the top 10 had a huge falling out during college. They went to different colleges. Valedictorian had always wanted to be an XYZ and became an XYZ. Her best friend always talked about ABC, but they were suspended for years. Therefore, best friend jumped on an undergrad resurrection line for XYZ that was brought in by the grad chapter. The last time I saw them together, they were icier towards each other than the coldest Alpha. That's icy.

Yes,...I digressed all over the topic.

Wasn't top 10%, but I had a 3.7 GPA. That was almost ten years ago. Dang, time flies.

[BlessedOne04]

I was not quite top ten, 31 out of 243, but top 15% ain't bad!!! I was in a gifted program from middle school so academically I was always a grade ahead of others. I was Student Council VP, Spanish Club, State Academic Honors and a bunch of other stuff.

With my class reunion coming up, 2009, I am wondering who will show and who has done what.

Wow... time flies!! 2009 is almost here. I'm wondering the same things about my graduating class. I REALLY hope people show up for reunion. I think it'll be alot of fun.

#30 out of 153 but the only one with a Ph.D. so it all balances out in the end

My best friend and I were discussing having a separate party during the weekend. Something themed like an all white party! Something fun and non traditional.

I was salutatorian.

My dad was mad because the reason I didn't make valedictorian was a C I got in student council (from this old bitter broad). It didn't matter to me because I knew I was smarter than the chick who was valedictorian, and I thought being salutatorian meant that I didn't have to give a speech...

At our Senior Awards ceremony, I was voted Woman of the Year by the teaching staff and got the majority of the scholarships announced, so I was cool with that.

[nonchalant]

Yes, I was.

[LatinaAlumna]

I was #9 out of 396.
