14. I was long gone by then!
I remember Strack and that's about it. My siblings and I were all in middle or high school when we moved to Spring and there was only the one high school back then. Now there are four, I believe, including one named after the guy who was superintendent when I was in school -- Klein Collins HS.

7. Thanks!!
Yep just finished the last class. Actually I'm wrong it was finished actually as of Aug 6 so it was about two weeks ago, but all the same was completed with a summer class that actually as of this year was implemented to let those of us finish early since many people have kids and families ect and wanted their degrees without having to wait like 6 months to get a job.

26. BA Philosophy, BA Religious Studies, if I wouldn't have refused....
...the last requirement.

I've completed all the course work for BA Religious Studies, however the private university I went to required that even religious studies majors (which had to do with philosophy of religion, comparative religions and systematic theology) do an actual internship in a christian church along with straight religion majors or pre-seminary students. I refused to do that, so I don't have a certificate for a Bachelors in Religious Studies.

Poly Sci master still in my future, I hope..

James Madison here, same year. (Didn't we beat you in football in '85? heh heh heh)

We were at A&M the same time too...and Poli Sci was my minor (BA English major). One of my best friends from Roosevelt went to SAC the same time you did.

35. I started college when I was 32.
A friend of mine once said "I thought about going to college but then decided not to. I would have just been an educated fool" ... and he actually made 5x as much money as I do now, with my degree.

...started college in my early 20's but due to circumstances
that couldn't be helped I couldn't continue. Then, at 36, I went back and got my AA Degree from Pierce College, Woodland Hills, Ca. From there I went straight to California State University and received my BA in Interdisciplinary Studies at the age of 41. That was 5 years ago and without question it's my proudest accomplishment :-)
