I graduated from High School today....
26 years late. Better late than never. Anyone else a dirty drop-out? Nicest car in the lot to pick up my diploma, must say.
Funny story. Pulled up next to a minivan a year ago. Kid yells "mom, mom, look!"
She says "that's a Porsche, and if you stay in school and get good grades, you can have one too...."
I almost said "don't listen to that, I dropped out of HS and did just fine", but didn't want to ruin that kids attitude....

Congrats on graduating!

It's creepy looking at my moustasche and the awful tux from 1990. 
Thanks.

It's never to late to learn. I congratulate you on your persistence and perseverance to finish.
I was a terrible HS student - 6 year plan, 4 years, 2 summer schools. I wasn't allowed to walk in the ceremony and spent my senior summer in summer school.
HS in the 70's for me was exactly like the movie 'Dazed and Confused' - hence all the extra class time
10 years after I graduated HS I finally graduated College. This time it was because I was married, working full time trying to fit classes in.
My Hats off to you

They say opposites attract. My wife is a PhD Anthropologist. Told her I'm ordering checks that say HS after my name like hers say PhD.
The Dazed & Confused thing went well into the 80s, trust me.

You and me both Timco! Got my diploma a week or two ago, as well as a sassy academic honors diploma.
Congratulations!

Huh, what do you need HS for?
I've been practicing medicine for 30 years. and I've had my own Practice for 20.
Since I only ever claimed I was practicing, no one ever asked about a Diploma.
So what do doctors call their business when they are finished Practicing?
Probably need some extra schooling for that?
