(43,173 posts)Started as a sophomore year in a private high school that I hated. I planned my escape and was able to get back to the public high school where my old friends were.
And that summer was awesome, just awesome. It was the last summer before my parents made me get a summer job, so I just had fun. Spent most of the time at the pool, where I met the first love of my life and the girl I would eventually take to prom. And the family vacation was awesome too--spent most of the nights at the pool with the cute girl who lived next door to the place were were staying and her cute friends.
Cal Ripken broke the consecutive games record, I heard "Starla" by the Smashing Pumpkins for the very first time, I learned how to drive, and when I started back at my public school, I earned Straight A's for the very first time in my life. And I took a civics class with an incredible teacher who set me on my career course and helped give me a proper world perspective.
Just an awesome year.
