Were You in the Top Ten in Your Graduating Class?

My HS experience was interesting. I went to and "gifted" elementary school, so when I went to high school I was a sophmore academically. For three years I took classes with the students a year ahead of me. When they graduated, I was "housed" with my class, but tutored one-on-one in college prep courses.

The unfortunate thing about all of this is that I was already at least a year younger than my class (started HS at 12) and thus at least two years younger than the ones I had class with. My maturity level was definitely not on par and it affected me emotionally. I did not want to be the ultra smart TK (yes my Mom was the head of the math department at my HS.) So I did my fair share of acting out academically--skipping classes, not studying, etc.

I started high school at 13 and ended at 16. I was high enough in rank to get into 3 out of 4 of my college choices. I honestly don't know my rank because I wasn't all that interested. As long as I graduated and went to college, I was good. I did finish with about a 3.5 I think but I went to school with over-achievers so I definitely wasn't in the top 10%. Maybe the top 25% I dunno.

I was in the top 15% of my graduating class, #33 out of 310 with a 3.3 GPA, inducted in the National Honor Society and the Spanish Honor Society.
