Michael's Story
Life
High school was a rough and awkward time for me and that actually lasted into my college years. After a small personal tragedy in college, my life turned around a bit and I lost a lot of the awkwardness and started to become the well-adjusted person I am today. After college I decided to join the Marine Corps and ended up serving our country during the recent crisis. During that time I also got married and had a beautiful daughter named Piper. After I got out of the military I got divorced (which in this case was a wonderful thing). There's a hell of a lot more, but I just really don't feel like typing it all down - besides, I hate talking about myself, it's a little pretentious. If you'd like to know more, just contact me, lord knows I haven't spoken to many old friends in quite a long time and would love the opportunity to catch up.
School
First let me say that I didn't dig high school very much. I had bad teeth, bad skin, and dressed like a total tard. Needless to say I wasn't very smooth with the womenfolk, but there was one person to see through the nerdy facade and all I can say is that the girlfriend t...Expand for more
hat I had Senior year and into college was the greatest love of my life, even though she eventually broke my heart - but hey, that's in the past, I truly hope she's well.
Anyway, this little site posed these questions for this area: Who was your biggest crush? Which teacher inspired you most? And if you could do it all over again, would you?
So let's see..... I had a lot of crushes but was too shy and dorky looking to follow up on them. Um, there was Karen Dailey, Jenny Lehfeldt, Debbie Haislip, Amy Mattes, Bonnie Prokopiak, Shelby Zweig, Bev Hampton, hmmmm, you know what, I'll stop there, I'm making myself seem even dorkier and more pathetic than I was.
The teachers that inspired me the most though were Mr. Toll and Mr. Maxwell. They're pretty much the reason I'm going back to school to get my Master's in Education.
And finally, there is no way in hell I would ever do high school again.
College
The only reason I'm writing so much is that I am bored to tears. But as far as college memories go, the all revolve around my fraternity (Phi Sigma Kappa). That was some fun stuff - even when the house burned down....
