for some reason I was good at math and Social studies.

But I excelled in the printing lab class. I ( and others) made counterfeit bus passes and lunch cards and sold them to other students who didn't quality for free lunch or free mass transportation.

That is where I learned business ;)

School was rewarding

Was and still am a nerdy A+ student .. Without trying bigsmile I was always the teacher's favourite blushing ..from kindy through to uni. ....Believe it or not I was never interested in boys at school .. And being a good catholic girl , i Wanted to become a nun .. rofl rofl I laugh about that now .. Learning is an ongoing part of my life . My first qualification was veterinary nursing which was more a hobby . i won an animal behavioural psychology award and topped the class . Went on to study a commerce degree...only to find that it bored the hell out of me .. laughing .. returned to my main passions:heart: .. marine biology(phd) waving and then a nursing degree .. Laughing .. I have hidden talents .love love .. .. What next... I am not sure but will likely involve a humanitarian expedition in a third world country .. Perhaps Syria :banana: :banana: :banana: tongue2 :thumbsup: waving


OOMMGG! a ultratalented madame. That's great and i congratulate you at 100%. I hope you have studied all you desire in your life with no regrets. If you want to serve to others; humanitarian work is one of the best; but do the right choice at the right moment.

good luck Dr.....maybe you could find love too.

Personally it was eating lunch. My mum made the best sammies, home baking with an apple.

I did well in Sports and I loved to read. I did get a ward for great character. Not sure what they mean now.
In my school reports I always got if Annie would stop talking and apply herself to her work. Also if Annie would put the same amount of effort into her school work as she does with her sports.

Looking back now I think they all had a problem with someone discussing things.

:angel: :laughing:



:laughing: :laughing:

Hope that running wasn't running from the police?
:laughing: :laughing:


I was good at history, geography and maths,
I can only remember the maths bit now
And got kicked out of ooh la la french classes for falling asleep
rofl rofl



rofl rofl rofl
No it wasn't from the police.
I am an angel.

Did you fall asleep because there was not action?.
That's ok Jaan sometimes you don't get it until you are much older. Something to do with being a late bloomers.

Everybody has been excellent or highly good in certain subjects or courses by "nature" , by passion or by inteligence and talent.

Sciences? Maths? Literature? Arts? languages? Sports? other?

Which one?


Looking back,
I never excelled
in anything:)

I love Math, but
Math does not love me.
(ever since I can remember
my lowest grade was always Math:smile: )

Always the average,
no bad grades but
never been on the top
of the class.

Im a big fan of sports in
school but always as a spectator.
I do not like competing.

To maintain my scholarship,
I am required most of the weekends
on Out Reach Programs,
so I get to travel most of
the time to some indigenous tribes
& teach children Alphabets &
Basic Addition & Subtraction.

It was in my college years that I learn
to love tennis, loves to jog, & get
fascinated so much with river trekking
& mountain climbing.

I do not know how to draw & paint
but I have always love Art,
Anything about Art fascinated me.
Im a huge fan, that is what makes me
interested & in love with History,
Ruins & Museums.

I did not finish College:)

I spent most of my school years hugging the walls, and keeping my head down !..scared shirtless that someone would find out! That I did not know the answers, to anything.. it took me a long time to realize I was at school, to learn the answers.. to everything..:wink:

I excelled in Math, English & P.E and always been in the class top ten. I love any kind of sports, in high school I've been a volleyball aspirant, basketball varsity and chess varsity. I participated in all sport games during our Sports Fest Day:banana: In college I participated in swimming competition. I'm always quiet and say demure in school blushing yet it's so fulfilling when you surprise people around you in recognizing your inner strength and talentblushing :smile: :tongue:

I was a below average pupil in elementary school. But excelled in HS and college. Late bloomer... story of my life.

Oh, I was good in math and literature.

School was my escape and I loved it. I knew very early it was my ticket to a real life and I was going to max my effort to do well. Because I worked at a young age and had an older past graduate very popular local boyfriend who provided me with a very fast new Charger so I had lots of friends at the high school and Jr. College level where he was BMOC at a NCAA community college. So I did not have to compete to get dates for stuff or do the deal with school mean girl stuff but I often saw it and developed a hate for it early on.

Fortunately my teachers liked me and several figured out what was going on at home and ran interference. In those days teachers did not challenge the ultimate authority of parents; especially politically powerful ones. Sad because child abuse knows ALL economic levels. But a couple neighbors and my High school boyfriends parents stepped up and taught me life skills. So never underestimate you can change a life.

Tall and fast the coaches drooled when I got old enough for sports, many thought at one point I would be a Track all star mastering a then new technique of rolling over the bar in high jump.

But it was not considered as "proper and refined" as the beauty pageants and Rainbow girls I had to do that; which I hated. I walked out on a state level Miss America competition I qualified for because they told me I could not put down being biracial and had to deny my Native American blood. But being on stage helped me become interested in public speaking and school politics which carried over to me being a Phi Theta Kappa founder and President of my community college which opened several doors in my career. Not the least qualifying as Rookie of the Year, at 24, with Mutual of Omaha as one of the youngest insurance Brokers in my State.

I actually got a full ride for Art school mid high school; but opted to follow my Husband into his college where I was the first female cadet squad leader in ROTC history. Doesn't sound like much now but it was a crash through the ceiling for women in the military as I often competed in and got a lot of people talking. But I often felt I missed my calling teaching art which is my real passion. LOL never too late I guess. I volunteer teach in therapeutic programs now.
