SO TELL US, WERE YOU A HOMECOMING QUEEN, CHEERLEADER, MAJORETTE???

Reading the different posters for many years, you kind of get a "take" on the person, whether right or wrong.  There are different ones I would guess that  might have been one of these ~ homecoming queen, cheerleader, etc., but I could be totally off base. 

 

If you care to share, tell us about your experience.  I'll go first ~  I was none of the above.  I didn't like to be in the spotlight, nor was I a joiner of clubs.  I more or less went to school and then went home.......no extracurricular activities.  I am still that way......very small circle of friends.

 

How about you???

I went to a Catholic high school, we didn't have the activities the public school had.  I worked full time while going to college, so I didn't get involved in anything other than classes.  So no, no and no.

I was you.  Still am.

 

My sister and I did some local modeling, but that was not a social activity.

I was an athlete, an academic nerd who could've graduated at age 16 and a band/choir geek.

I went to an all girls Catholic school in Brooklyn. I was just an observer of my local culture. The day after graduation my family moved away, I went to college and I lived happily ever after.

I was very shy in elementary, middle and high school. Great around my circle of friends, the life of the party, but shy with everyone else. 

 

The summer before my senior year in high school, on a whim, I tried out for the drill team and made it. And I absolutely loved every single minute of it. I wish I'd joined it the year before also. 


Why is it, when I have a 50/50 guess at something, I'm always 100% wrong?
