SJHA

Tonight was my semi casual, un official 18 year high school reunion.  Just a bunch of us that still keep in touch agreeing to be in the same place at the same time. Fantastic.  I loved highschool.  I was happy there.  I'm pretty sure I was well liked.. Despite my shyness, I did pretty well for myself, socially.  Academically, not so much.   I'm pretty sure that the only reason I was accepted to the number 1 academically ranked school on the island is because my two sisters were.  I didn't connect those dots until Years after graduation....   but it's left a little bit of a scar on me...  Those girls are much much much smarter than me. Plain and simple.  These girls are the kinda smart that happens in the crib.. like the baby that starts reading and shit before being taught, and what not. 
Ok ok they aren't ALL like that... but they were mixed in..   I know for sure that I didn't belong there.  I tried so hard.  I studied, and took all the notes, and did all the things I was supposed to do, but I just didn't get it the way the other kids do.  And that's the way the cookie crumbles.  When you're one of the crumbles, you need to figure out a way...............   And so, that's what we do. We figure out a way.
